ranting. Feel free to ignore my Peter Pan-related ranting.
i really hate how it's almost impossible to mention liking Peter Pan to someone without getting a ton of crap about it, Michael Jackson jokes, and insinuations about "starting your own neverland ranch". Just because one weirdo happens to have a fixation on this and is accused of paedophilia does not mean that the text support that sentiment in any way or that it sets a precedent for all fans of that work. You can like the Beatles' White Album and not be a white supremicist who wants to start a race war, and mentioning liking that album does not frequently result in Charles Manson jokes.
I mean, it would make more sense for me to hypothesise that people who watch zombie movies want to either eat human flesh or to have someone else eat their flesh, because at least in zombie movies you spend a fair bit of screen time watching this happen. Which is really quite stupid and hopefully untrue for all (or at least the majority) of the audience.
It's annoying, okay? I'm just really sick of the ridiculousness of it. And how everyone always seems to think they're hilarious and clever for it.
