That's me in the icon right there. Moodwise that is.

Fangirl highs are the BEST. I am currently in one because of

That is so true. Fangirl highs ARE the best.

[anoel]

They ARE. If there's one reason I went into fandom, it's the high. There's just nothing like it! We invest the time and energy for free (and sometimes moneywise!) but we definitely get a payoff.

[illusory_thrill]

Totally. SO worth it!

I'm a bit puzzled on why so many people are interpreting the show as Joss thinks it's good/okay to treat the women/people like they're doing on the show, obviously it's bad and the show is not condoning it so I don't have a problem with it.
Yes, that.

[anoel]

I'm glad I'm not alone. I mean I get that it sucks to see that especially since it's so prevalent in the media. But this was pretty clearly looked up on as bad.

[obsessive24]

Personally? I think certain factions of fandom have gone batshit crazy over this for no particular reason that I can discern. But I don't really want to get into a shit-slinging contest anywhere so just nipping in for a fist bump and quickly nipping out again. :)

[anoel]

It seems it's just a reaction to the hype and Joss calling himself a feminist not to mention being generally revered and thought of as intelligent. So he has further to fall. But yeah, I don't want to get involved either.

[tinted_glass]

Wait. DATE? ..... I'm going to have to visit the H/W community, aren't I? Damnit.

And by damnit, I mostly mean "OH and I was getting so good at APATHY." Pfft.

[anoel]

I KNOW! Go check it out!! I've been waiting for something like this and it's good to be excited about House again :D

Passion for H/W is so much better!

[tinted_glass]

Eeee~ I mostly do not believe the context aligns with my DEEPEST WISH FULFILLMENT, but oh, who cares. House and Wilson screen time again will be great. House and Wilson FRIENDSHIP SCREEN TIME again will be WONDERFUL, and House and Wilson going out to do THINGS or eat THINGS or drink THINGS in each other's company will be EPIC, OH I HAVE MISSED THEIR OTPness so much.

[anoel]

Yeah yeah, I know that too but still...a DATE. It's gotta be something more special than the average date they go on. But yeah them being together is ALWAYS happily appreciated by me.

I understand that the show is at least attempting to say it's bad, but that doesn't necessarily stop it being exploitative. If it weren't presented so sexily I might be more inclined to give Joss/Fox the benefit of the doubt, but the pilot was sexually provocative and not intelligent enough for me to understand its message beyond "mind wiping hot chicks and pimping them out is unethical"! Which, DUH. If that's all Joss is saying, all while shoving tits and ass in my face, I'm not interested. (Of course, I'm sure Joss will try to say a lot more than that, I'm just not sure I care anymore.)

[illusionaltzu]

I hear you. My first thought in the first five minutes of the show was, "isn't this prostitution?" Only worse, because the pimps get ALL the money and the girls don't even get to keep their personalities. Or a dress that covers their crotch. Gross.

[anoel]

Yeah I get that...but the sexy seems to be the point for some of it. I doubt the networks mind using that aspect to appeal to guys which is frustrating, I'm just used to it. It felt like this episode was just to set up the world and future episodes will go more into the meaning or at least that's what I hope.

[sol_se]

Ok, I think I need to catch up on House! A date??!!

[anoel]

Yes you do! Although the last few episodes haven't been that great IMO. But still, dating!
