millefiori: A white girl's IBARW post. - Iâ™m baffled by fans who feel that discussion of racism (or sexism, or any other â“ism) in fandom is a buzzkill that harshes their squee. -
- nojojojo: IBARW: Race games - In the wake of the fannish kerfluffle over questionable race imagery in a recent trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil 5, it occurs to me I should noodle a bit about race in games. -
- partly_bouncy: [in Fanthropology] BoldThrough: User Loss for LiveJournal: A meta analysis with stats! - Have the actions of LiveJournal created a situation where people will and actually are leaving? Are those groups leaving in higher numbers?" The purpose of this piece of meta is to try to answer this question. -
- lemurgrrrl: Thoughts and also a Poll - When I'm writing, character voices are very very important. . . On the other other other hand ..I know there are people like [info]thefourthvine who read fanfic based on canon they have not seen! In which case I'm not really sure how important voices are. -

- kita0610: Mostly for posterity at this point - Let me begin here: I find art and story writing about children in sexual situations disgusting. Repugnant. Repulsive. Physically ill-making. Even with a thesaurus and wild gesturing, I don't think I can state this strongly enough. -
- lydiabell: This whole "child porn" thing suddenly makes a lot more sense. In a headdesky kind of way. - I was wondering yesterday why people can't seem to stop referring to explicit drawings as "child porn".
