Thanks to a recent post over at linguaphiles, I was reminded of how awesome this is:

Oh, and since I'm in the mood for a meme -- here's the one that was going around a couple of months ago:

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

2. I assume you mean Father Christmas's assertion in LWW that women shouldn't fight? I don't like that either, but I'm not sure if he's really speaking for the author there, considering that Lucy does become a warrior later (and is never condemned/punished for it).

Basically, I'm just annoyed with some of the arguments people make, such as the claim that Susan's 'lipstick and nylon stockings' means that Lewis had a problem with female sexuality, when I think it's fairly obvious that it was worldly vanity he had a problem with. (Lipstick and nylon stockings =/= female sexuality, for the love of Aslan!)

I have more of a problem with the gender roles in HP (especially considering they were written in the '90's and '00's, and so one might expect them to be more progressive), but that's a whole other discussion...

3. Aren't they just! I'm still hoping someone will write me Puddleglum fic for the narnia_exchange.

1. Oh, I don't doubt they were close; it's the sex thing I can't agree with. Then again, I'm not really interested in reading incest in the first place, except in darkfic, so... *shrugs*
