• coffeeandink: This again - Instead of actually considering the arguments, we can just argue about the personal motivations of the debaters. The problem isn't that racism is endemic to Western society and to Western fandoms; it's that antiracist protest has become a fashionable meme -

• elishavah: 'skulduggery' should *always* be word of the day - I'm occasionally hit with the suspicion that I'd be a happier tv watcher if I weren't in fandom.[...]I'd be watching with a lot more pleasure if I didn't have this little part of my brain muttering about how I just know fandom will take this -

• jadziadrgnrdr: Why y'all gotta hate? - What I don't understand is why the distancing ladies? Shit, if your writing fic about The Stones, you're at least my age and probably lots older. You should be taking fledgling bandom chicks under your wing instead of shunning us. -

• amathela: Between the bars - I think the appeal of RPF probably comes from, and operates on, three different levels://1) As an extension of canon, and from viewers' desire to believe that what we're seeing is real on some level. -
