Fandom Fucks With You

[redbrunja]

So, you know that horrible biased fanfiction survey that was going around? Well, Boston University has officially disavowed affiliation with him because he has no expertise in the field he's studying, he has a profit motivation, and his work is not being overseen in order to insure that he is being ethical (he's totally not, btw).

Great article on what to do to help get more positive portrays of people of color in the movies.

You're welcome. I heard about it from the meta-heavy and/or slash-centric part of my flist that are into live action shows, so unless you were traveling in certain circles of the 'net, it's not a surprising that a lot of people didn't know about it.
