• musesfool: seriously, knock that shit off - when you fuck up that massively, you damn well should get called on it. It's not dogpiling for people to talk about it, and your authorial embarrassment or tears is not more important than the real hurt you've inflicted on people who've been othered or erased by your work. -

• dhobikikutti: Warnings for *isms? - I was thinking about what I would do if people actually did label their fic with "racist tropes" in the same way that they label their fic "dubcon" -

• redsnake05: Difference. Yeah, that. - "Worrying about offending someone" and "Being thoughtful and working to be a better person" - I don't see the difference. If you do the latter, then you'll be a long way on the road to making sure that the former doesn't blow up on you. -

• kaz: the h/c bingo post - Also, seriously? Enough with the "you are saying we're not allowed to write about these things!" I mean, there seems to be a computer issue here - things are turning up on my monitor as "if you write about X, please do your research and try to write it respectfully" and on other people's as "our ninja attack squad is coming for your computer. You will never write about X while we still live!" Funny error, that, I usually just get 404s -

• poisontaster: One Last Rant Before Bedtime - It seems to me that any number of people want to pitch these discussions in legal terms. Looking aside from the glaring logical error that there is no fandom governing body capable of wielding institutional power to stop, prevent or otherwise punish an "offending" person, let's look a little closer at the idea of "law", shall we? -

• wintercreek: everything has changed - "Affirmational fandom is interested in this story; transformative fandom is interested in the meta-story, the ur-story. Affirmational fandom likes Kirk and Spock having gen adventures, likes Holmes and Watson solving gen cases. Transformative fandom says, 'What if Kirk and Spock were Holmes and Watson solving cases?'" -
