Meta discussion

• I've had some (a lot of) initial resistance to the idea of changing something/someone I already like (same for movie parts that are cast and work well, like RDJ for Tony Stark) "just" for the sake of racial diversity. by handyhunter on January 10, 2010
• I've been thinking a lot about tweendom, and what makes tweendom different from the rest of fandom by folkloric-feel on January 12, 2010
• Oh God, are we doing 'women writing m/m slash are just fetishizing gay male relationships' again already? Really? by bluflamingo on January 13, 2010

• And some of it i understand; this article is nailing its particular colours to the mast so hard Jesus winced, and its colours are OMG SILLY WOMEN PRETEND TO BE MEN AND WRITE PORN ABOUT MEN. ITS LIKE THEY THINK THEY'RE PEOPLE. HAHAHAHA. by ashteth on January 14, 2010
