A Post, A Response, and a Resource.

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.

Those are excellent posts you linked! I am among those who weren't around for the initial posting _dahne_'s rant, but having read it now, I'm grateful that others were able to comment on it articulately. I'm just so baffled and appalled to even know what to say about it myself.

Thanks. *smile* And, yeah. That post and its initial blush of support were really heartbreaking (not least... well, see my post before this one). I'm glad to see a lot of people see what was wrong with it.
