Fandom Secrets Was MADE OF WORD

117: Fuck yes.

Also, author of 115: please come over to my lj. You are completely dead-on and I would LOVE to discus the awesomeness of Sai x Sakura with you, as well and find out where you found that amazing fanart.

160: While I feel your pain, HINATA knows Naruto quite well. It's him that has no idea who she is.

(Also, I was gone all day so I couldn't answer comments - I'll be responding to comments tomorrow. Also, remember to set your clocks forward.)

*response to meganbmoore* Right, I totally misread. Sorry about that. XD

No worries ;)

As to your response, and the person you were arguing with... uh, whut? I'm not a fan of slash and I love femmeslash as much as anyone, but seriously, whut?

I think the argument went that slash was bad because it was about guy characters only, which makes it sexist and misogynistic. But femmeslash was good because it was all about the women controlling themselves without any men at all, which meant it was good and not sexist at all. Romance was basically defined as Harlequin romance, I think, or fluffy, sentimental romance. This person liked hardcore stuff and dysfunction and power imbalances and the occasional rape.

(Guys can actually rape each other without it being sexist, and girls can rape each other without it being sexist, so that's okay. Guy/girl rape or girl/guy rape is sexist either way.) And heterosexuality was bad because of a long history of abuse and oppression, and no one can write it without that seeping in. Apparently.
