A Post, A Response, and a Resource.

[browngirl]

So _dahne_'s post calling for an end to social justice in fandom is being much discussed. I took down my post from yesterday, which was more emotional and disorganized than I like, and instead of rewriting it I'll link to this response at foc_u.

Also, brighteyed_jill has linked to the sensible post, On Having That Conversation. This is the post that _dahne_ purports to have written, but hers is very much not.

Now, having said all that, I'm going to go work on a story for my next post here.

Thank you for the links, lady. I do not have the personal bandwidth to get involved in that clusterfuck right now (but Jesus when I read through it did I want to say something), but I'm glad to know what's going on, and when I have a moment of spare time I rather think I'll go through the comments on _dahne_'s post and add LJ notes to the profiles of all the people who think zie's clever or enlightened. It's like a neat list of People I Do Not Need to Know, Ever.

Thanks for signal-boosting, again, and if you're involved in this, let me know if there's anything I can do to lend you my support. ♥ Will I see you tomorrow, BTW?

*beams* Hi, milady. I think... there are a lot of people I know who are people of goodwill and sense who think she had a point and so may be swayed into thinking all her points are good. I don't at all want to write them off but I want to say publicly that her actual message is much more pernicious than it may seem at first glance. So.

I hope to be there tomorrow, but I'll have to see. If I'm not, sometime soon. *crosstown hugs*
