Oh, like I'm gonna do that.

Having read all this VVC shit that's going down, all I can say is fuck any chance of me vidding in the future. Like, if there's that kind of stuff and inability to change in the community, then seriously, y'all don't need me. Even if I have an eye for it and a degree and a half of editing skillz, it sure reads like no one will give a shit about anything I feel.

Honestly, it really does feel like a clique and a deterrent.

Also, there's nasty whitewashing in publishing YA AGAIN, there's apparently a tendency to blame M. Night Shyamalan and ignore the complicity of studios and TPTB in the Airbender debacle, and some third grader here in WI drowned possibly due to his OCD, as he was obsessed with water. At the very least, the media is reporting it as a possibility already, and I just cannot cope with the questions and the clinging and the implications.

Generally: I am just not in the mood, 'cause I was doing fic instead of nap. Go read my fic, I'm done.
