NGL, I'm not sure I'd agree with the statement that Fandom examines itself less than mainstream does--I think I'd argue the opposite--but that could just be in the areas of fandom I live in. (Ultra-selective groups can be ultra-selective, e.g. slashers.) I will say that I think all these conversations happening is for the better than not; it means that problems are being identified, analyzed, discussed, and maybe one day, solved. So. My $0.02.
Also **MEGAHUGS** I hope you don't leave, but I think I understand why you want to.
