Sep. 3rd, 2009

I am taking a break from fandom.

I had this big long post composed with explanations and refrigerator metaphors but what it all comes down to is this graphic on

alchemia .

This is not my fandom. Not what I want out of fandom, not what I can put up with from fandom. The graphic is bad enough, but the cheering in the comments afterward is even worse. As is the explanation for why it isn't really rape and is okay. I also hear echoes of the very common 'but she deserved it' in the responses to any poster critical of the drawing. (he or they in this case)

This is appalling. This is not why I have a journal...or why I interact with fandom.

So I figure a break from it all is a good thing for me.
