As a follow-up to this set of letters -

Dear Law Enforcement, Radio Decency People, Radio personalities and, specifically, the management at KRXQ,

Just so I understand how this works, a white supremecist shock jock says violent things directed at politicians and he gets criminal charges but Rob and Arnie say violent things directed at

You are awesome for doing this.

Outrage certainly has its place, but steps on how to make things different/better is most welcome!

[wook77]

Thanks. Between the Matthew Shepard's death is a hoax lady, the Prop 8 shit, the assassination of Tiller and now this, I'm in this constant state of rage. At least I can do something about this one, yanno?

I figure if we can all send out a few emails, we can really affect change. Hate speech should never be condoned. Child abuse should never be condoned. The fact that this is a combination of both of them and is being written off as lulz is just extremely upsetting to me.

Are you okay with me linking to/referring others to this post?

[wook77]

Sure thing! Go for it! The more people aware and emailing, the better change we can affect :D

[reddwarfer]

Done. I couldn't have said it better myself. This is the sort of behaviour that is inexcusable.

[wook77]

Awesome! I love the power of communication and righteous outrage.

This is exactly the sort of behavior that should have people fired and/or brought up on charges. Who the fuck thinks this sort of shit is funny?

[reddwarfer]

And, honestly, I feel that at least our part of fandom should be more active. If we can have a prurient interest in these sorts of things (and it's totally okay)then we should support it in real life. I gnash my teeth whenever I read slash writers/readers act homophobic.

[wook77]

Exactly. So we can giggle and squee over it, we can feel all risque but when it comes to supporting it, even just with a quick form email or a post, it's way too involved.

I hate that this isn't all over my flist. The amazonfail was all over my flist. Racefail is all over my flist. Racefail redux is all over my flist. And these things should be all over the flist but I've barely seen any sort of mention of this at all. I just discovered it yesterday and went immediately to "let's post about it and get the word spreading". I just wish more people would be willing to do that.

Sometimes, I think slash fandom forgets about the "t" in the LGBT issues.

[wook77]

Anything to make it easier to communicate the outrage :D

[libgirl]

Done and posted.

Thanks Wook. :D

[wook77]

ILUSOOOOO MUCH!

[libgirl]

Well, I totes love you so much too, you know that, but I didn't really do anything deserving of love here :).

~hugs~

[wook77]

Yes you totally did! You took a stand and that's the important part!

<3

Thanks for putting this together. I will be linking, and then doing my own mass email, tomorrow when I'm on a proper computer.

[wook77]

AWESOME! <3<3<3

My outrage has finally channeled into something productive!

[ciel_vert]

Sent my letter. Posted to my flist. Already seeing it making more rounds. And I've just asked Neil Gaiman to re-tweet on twitter to his almost 500k followers. Hopefully he will, he's usually good about this sort of thing.

[valkyrieblades]

Ditto on the thanks, and I'm also contacting everyone I can. I've already made a massive note and tagged all of my friends on Facebook and emailed everyone else. Keep up the great work! ^_^
