So I've recently started scouring internet episode reviews whilst doing up the episode polls to get more question fodder. I was perusing some reviews for Bad Girls earlier and...good lord, people, stop calling Faith a slut! That's just...not cool! *glares at TWOP*

Now I remember why I tend to stick to my little corner of fandom.

And no, "Is Faith ( Read more... )

This post is a no comics zone. Don't mention the comics in the comments, please.I feel I have to address something because I've noticed it a lot lately, and it's making me do that raised eyebrow thing which grows uncomfortable after a while ( Read more... )

Rant prompted by some interview with some comic guy where that tired old meme of "Women love bad boys" crops up yet again to 'explain' women's mysterious attraction to Spike ( Read more... )

Finals are over!

However, this is a more general comment to the idea of personal responsibility as it relates ( Read more... )

Guys, I've had some rage stored up, and you know what? It ain't over. I thank Bitsy for being the trigger on this one, and please feel free to link him so he can see what he was wrought (In fact, link it far and wide. I'm calling out fandom on its douchebaggery). This is moving beyond his statement though, and this rant? Not directed at him ( Read more... )

I hadn't quite gotten my thoughts organized in a way that I felt properly addressed my concerns. Now, though, I ran across something that made me flail, and I'm just gonna rant ( Read more... )

You know, this is gonna be the height of irony considering my April Fools' Day prank, but this rant is for real, guys. Really. I was gonna just shrug it off, but I'm still irked by it.

Good grief, reading metafandom usually doesn't make me *headdesk* so much.
