Fandom Fucks With You

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.

.........OMG! This is going to sound totally sad, but I had no idea that such a survey was even going around! When did it actually come about and be up on LJ?

I just think that that survey is SOO wrong, and I can't say that I blame the person for not participating. that survey is just......grrrrrrrrrr.

I think about five days prior to this post (I'm behind on comments).

And I heard about it from the meta-heavy and/or slash-centric part of my flist that are into live action shows.... so it came up about five times from different people on my flist when this whole thing started.
