I think I just called a person who just posted a small rant regarding slash as a severe mischarecterisation cute. Because it is a cute little rant, even though I disagree with the poster vemhently and can only imagine how the guys who he slammed on thier charecterization feel.

Why is it cute? It's like a ugly doll, it's not very pretty to look at, but strangely indearing. Possibley because he's keeping it on topic and talking about charecterization and not advocating that anyone who writes slash should be drawn and quartered.

Plus, it's kind of funny the interplay of female fans as a group to him, and while dealing with them on a one-on-one or smallish groups. But large gatherings? Freak him out.

Edit: And hey guy, you're on Fandom Wank!. Revel in it. Or change you're internet handle. I don't care.

I've also been working on the mood theme that's made out of the old astonomy book. I'm using it right now, but I'm not sure whether or not I should dump it and go back to the bouncy stars. Here's the one's I have done so far.

Is this the WriterCon rant that's going around? That's the one with the guy ranting about slash at a Characterization panel and large groups of fangirls.

And for the record, large groups of fangirls AND fanboy are freaky, especially at conventions.

Yep. I still can't get over the fact that, yes, the guy's a bit of a toss, but the amount of head explosions going about this is nuts. And really stupid/pointless as the continuing drama isn't going to change his mind on anything, just gets a lot of people angry, and will probably forgotten soon enough.

Blah. It's all rather silly, when you get down to it. He's getting upset about fangirls being fangirls at a CON! That's like giving kids a pile of candy and telling them not to be happy and bouncy.

That being said, cons make otherwise normal people on every side of the 4D fence do stupid things. "Yaoi Paddles" at anime cons, for a big example. Anime North had a ban on hugging/gomping because of past problems. HUGGING. The fact this rant has led to a blow up doesn't surprise me. XP
