The last fanboo - Musings on fandom, convergence culture, and geek chic

The last fanboo - Musings on fandom, convergence culture, and geek chic. Laquo; previous entry. Next entry ». Nov 18th, 2008 12:21 pm. Absolutely, but better to be honest about it than deny the bias. Nov 19th, 2008 02:31 am (UTC). I suspect that the geek hierarchy got it right and the last and greatest fan pathology is furry porn. Nov 19th, 2008 02:52 am (UTC). Otoh, it's more closely allied with RenFaire and battle reenactment. Where fo they LARP? I thought that it was mostly restricted to cons. Alas, I...

Feeding the Trolls - Minion for Hire. Nov 23rd, 2010 02:43 pm Feeding the Trolls. This is a story about ignorance transcending national boundaries, and my somewhat irritated response to being insulted for completely the wrong reasons. I probably shouldn't have risen to the bait, but I did, and I thought I'd share it with you. I come across as a little arrogant in it, but sod it. I think a little arrogance was reasonable, under the circumstances. The offending comment, from alphanightmaredemon. Your comme...

Striving for Zen, Settling for Chocolate. Theatre Lover, Director, Fangirl. Consider this a reminder that when I get back from honeymoon Im going to write something of meaning. Not fic, or writing for fun, but Ive finally had enough of seeing people argue about rape, rape culture, and the supposedly useless nature of the discussion on the topic. Please poke me if you would like to see my thoughts and dont within a week. Thanks. Yes, write, and what? I don't know what you mean, I'm confused.

Slut Walk: misdirected ire - Minion for Hire
http://minion-for-hire.livejournal.com/36273.html
Slut Walk: misdirected ire - Minion for Hire. May 16th, 2011 11:35 pm Slut Walk: misdirected ire. I read about Slut Walk [1]a few weeks ago, and was surprised to see that the target of the protest was the police. In brief, for those who don't want to read the link, there was a safety instruction at a law school in Toronto. It was given by, amongst others, a police officer. One of the safety tips was "for women not to dress like ‘sluts.’" [2]. Of course, all of the above are less serious crimes than rape&...

30 is the new 13: The Pencil in the Rye
http://30isthenew13.blogspot.com/2010/08/pencil-in-rye.html
Thursday, August 19, 2010. The Pencil in the Rye. Are any of you still here? I think I may be jeopardizing my standing in the Worst Blogger Ever contest by posting, but screw it! I've missed you all terribly! Sorry for dropping off the face of the Internet the last couple of months. But I'm back (for now; let's not get too crazy with the promises), and—even more exciting—I've brought. But these aren't just any pencils. They are, like, the pencil equivalent of Jeff from. Way more info on. But where was I?

A post of a serious nature - Striving for Zen, Settling for Chocolate
http://capt-spork.livejournal.com/117938.html
Striving for Zen, Settling for Chocolate. Theatre Lover, Director, Fangirl. A post of a serious nature. This is the post I promised last week about rape and rape culture. Rape and Rape Culture. So you’re talking about women. Rdquo; I always talk about people, and I’m making that clear now. But I’m getting ahead of myself. And the point of rape culture is this: what I should expect, after telling him NO and STOP, was that he stopped. What he was doing was not welcome. And therefore not ok. And so I hope, ...
