angrybee is gonna smack me
A SMRT-TV BSG article, in which the author argues that:
"What makes queer queer has very little to do with what occurs between a person's legs, and very much more about what kind of social gender role a person performs, and whether the pairing of persons with certain gender identities is transgressive to current heteronormative standards."
Therefore Apollo/Starbuck shipping is slash? This is making my brain hurt, thanks fenlings. A woman is a woman, even if she acts butch--would be my first thought. So what follows is not slash. However, considering that "queer" and "slash" seemed to be defined in this context as more nebulous concepts, is there wiggle room? <-- Genuine question.
Hopefully some Wawa coffee will wake me up more.
BTW: fenlings has posted a new wonderful Twitch City, music by VAST vid, in a record amount of time! *mad applause* Go check it out.
