do not want.

While I've been mulling over how to explain this for a long while, littlebutfierce's post about someone's massive fail just now is pretty much an example of why I don't regularly read metafandom.

I know I'm missing out, but I'm sure I would probably have a bloody stroke at the ridiculousness of Some People's Opinions on a daily basis.

Funny how I never seem to end up on there, by the by...

I would like to state for the record: FANDOM IS A SUBCULTURE. FANDOM IS NOT AN ETHNIC GROUP. I CAN EXPLAIN THIS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO SO. FUCK.

ALSO, BANNED BOOKS ARE NOT THE SAME AS RACIST FANFIC.

It's sort of ironic that I'm wearing my Smith College American Studies faculty band t-shirt today.

Oh man, I know! I try to scroll past the metafandom posts that I know will just make me blow a fuse, but for some reason I clicked on that one. WHY WHY WHY.

Thing is, if I see them, I can't ignore things like that. I rubberneck like crazy, because I cannot let these thing go by. So I ignore the whole bloody comm, because if I don't, I will seriously lose my shit.

I definitely have online places that are like that... if I open the door, I just won't be able to stop looking. :/

Hahahaha, reading over your post I wonder if it sounds like my post is something offensive/crappy, not me writing about something offensive/crappy? Not that it really matters (I don't have much of an online reputation, snarf) if I get read as fail-y, hehehe.

Eep! Adjusting my wording now.

[littlebutfierce]

No worries--possibly me being silly in how I'm reading it, ha!

[rhivolution]

Nah, I totally could see your point, and I don't want my readers who don't know you (this is x-posted to LJ, after all) to think that you're faily.

Aw, thanks!
