I swear, right now, I want to quit fandom.

No, there is nothing hugely dramatic prompting this. I am just so, so weary of the ingrained sexism and the fandom drama and the female character hate and the shipping wars.

I feel like declaring that after July, I'm going to go back to western tv and liveaction fandoms, because when two very different mangakas annoy me in exactly the same way in one fucking evening, and my own over-investment in a pairing + spoilers + the damn fandom itself is threatening to ruin the show that ruined me for anime....

Something is very wrong here.

(And then I remember that my previous happy skippy live action comedy show is killing my love, as is my current sci-fi drama, my last sci-fi drama betrayed me horribly, and my last girl-centric show was torturous near the end, and I realize I'm going to need to go back to reading books and give myself time to let the wounds heal.)

So, my attempt to read more books, in the hope that it would be less aggravating failed.
Spoilers For 'Kitty & The Silver Bullet' )
But other than that, the book was fantastic, and the Kitty Norville series is my favorite werewolf series, and in the top five urban fantasy series. (serieses? seri? The plural form of 'series'.)

You know how Reload 7 was basically 'Gojyo and Hakkai are sheerest awesome?' Well, Reload 8 was 'Goku is made of win.'
