SGA fandom, I've kind of missed you, except no, you still make me roll my eyes a lot.
So. Linked a couple places on my DW reading list has been this: A priest, a rabbi, and an ATA user walk into a bar... Which is a post full of, idk, random jokes that people on Atlantis supposedly tell each other.
There are thirty-seven of these! They are, by and large, All About John And Rodney. Women? What women? Lorne? Zelenka? Who are they? Ugh. GIRLS ARE ICKY. Kate Heightmeyer, Laura Cadman, Vega, the rest of the all-girl team in that episode I never saw because I broke up with SGA, Sam Carter, Sora, Norina, Katie Brown, Charin, Jennifer Keller, Chaya, none of them seem to exist.
Teyla is mentioned five times in ways that basically say "bless her sensible little heart." Ronon is also mentioned five times, generally as the strong person who is strong.
Buffy Summers is mentioned once in a joke that I'm fairly sure contains some gender fail. (What do you get when you cross John Sheppard and Buffy Summers? Nothing changes - you still have the one girl in all the world who can defeat the vampires.)
Apparently the jokes are all about "an anthropologist, a botanist, and Rodney McKay" instead of "an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician." The anthropologist and botanist are both women who don't even get names, and two of the three jokes have them being insulted by Rodney. (The third has them doing better than Rodney at something.)
Elizabeth gets two minor mentions in one joke.
There's a "hot chick who is also the only Wraith worshipper on the planet." She has no name, of course, because why would hot chicks need names?
There's also a "planet of fast women, fast cars, and fast food," without any specific women with names, because why do slutty women need names? They're only there to be slutty. And they're all sluts on this planet, just there for the sexing, you notice?
Not bothering with the comments. Not bothering commenting to the entry. Just, ugh, SGA fandom (or the majority of it), never change, right? Because if you change, I might be expecting something more out of you, but the continual sense of low-level disappointment is at least what I'm used to.
