Racist effery and Potterdom (this time, with 'miscegenation')

Jul 28, 2007 21:16

Apparently, in a community of over 900 people, not a member has pointed out that equating bestiality with inter-racial relationships is deeply fucked up.

I mean is it not fucked up to equate slashing Kingsley Shacklebot and a Weasley to slashing Snape and a gargoyle?

Don't take my word for it. Look.

fandom, isms, racism, fandom how you make me crazy, potterdom

Do you mind if I quote you on this in my journal? You've already said it so well.

Not at all, bella.

This, among many other reasons, is why I don't get near the innards of fandom anymore.

*sigh*

I did not know you'd left the innards of fandom. And to think, that's where we met each other.

Of course you knew.

I post to my LJ only. No lists, no chatrooms. And how often do you see me fic or fanart these days? Other than Harry Potter?

The abuse I got after Virginia was enough to make me shy away.

But the forged friendships are good as gold.

That's news to me!

I think I got the idea you were active from rp and the picture posts. And also, from the movie reviews you'll put up on your lj. I assumed that you were as engaged with fandom as you were when we first met, but since I'd withdrawn, I didn't figure you'd withdrawn too. :/

Yeah, Virginia. :( That was enough for me to tread carefully too.

Ew. That's just . . . ew. So stupid and thoughtless that it's literally disgusting.

Well, you know it's a slippery slope. You let them gays (blacks, whatever) get married, next thing you know, people are fucking their Golden Retrievers.

I hate people.

skywardprodigal July 29 2007, 02:56:14 UTC

Oh! Well, that makes sense then...Only, not. Grr.
