You know what I fucking hate? When the media gets a piece of fandom and writes these tongue in cheek, laugh behind their hands articles and blog entries about it
( Read more... )
The only thing I can figure is it's another one of those geek hierarchy thing. You know the "We may be nerds, but we're not like those people" thing I just want to take their smug superiority and shove it up their... well you get my point. And really if Supes is going to have a kid with Lex in canon then it's only fair the s/b shippers get their own baby too.
Seriously! There's a lot about fandom that freaks me out but THAT'S what those people enjoy. Ultimately, it makes them HAPPY and it doesn't hurt anyone. Who are we to judge. I think Mpreggers are much healthier physically and emotionally than binge drinkers and that's considered NORMAL for college aged individuals. I'd rather sit at home and write about Batman's struggles through morning sickness than pickle my liver in my smoke filled bar.
*kisses* and I will never judge you for it.
Thanks, I knew I was preaching to the choir but I had to get it out.
Yeah, I linked the article. It wasn't fandom itself that was mocking the mpreg but a reporter not involved with fandom. Which is what set me off. It's one thing for us to mock each other. It's another thing for someone who ISN'T part of it to mock us.
Didn't I promise you a link to something or other on LJ today? I totally don't remember what it was...
Nicely put. I really really hate outsiders mocking the very idea of fandom, or fandom people mocking the less cool parts of fandom, and so on. We're all nerds, people. Share the love!

AND WHY ARE YOU NAMING BATMAN'S NONEXISTENT BUTT-CHILD? YOU HATE BATMAN AND BUTT-CHILDREN!
Anyway, we both know that if Batman did, in fact, get knocked up, it would be by Jason Blood.

I hate Batman; I wouldn't hate his poor, defenseless butt-children.
Lol, YES. IT'S TRUE. Demons knock up Batmen with cheek kisses, or didn't you know?
*and is reading that Lord John and the Hellfire Club novella* Poor Lord John.

I suspect Batman's Butt Children would be ANYTHING but defenseless.
Oh I totally knew. THAT'S why Bruce has that look of consternation on his face. He's like 'But am I ready for butt-daddyhood?'
Oh man, you're a better friend than me! I didn't start your vamp porn yet. D: I'll do it tonight.

No worries, it was the pics I think and I saw them. They were good. Who was Gloria cosplaying again?

Gloria was Fire in the pictures where she has green hair and Talia the day you met her. You were Renee and I was Black Canary
