Not how much we love it, but how much he hates it.
Friday, 4 September 2009 11:06So, this is a public entry [which is potentially triggering in regard to rape]. *waves to the public* I haven't made one of these for fun in a while--it's been a fannish "These things I find unacceptable" type of year for public posts. (I promise, my next public post will be a meme or a quiz!)
Unfortunately, this is not going to be a fun post; this is going to be a post addressing things I find unacceptable in fandom right now. (It's motivated by this post by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seperis, which she wrote in reaction to this VERY NSFW and POSSIBLY TRIGGERY piece of protest art. (SERIOUSLY UNSAFE FOR WORK, PEOPLE.) alchemia made that photo manip of Ogi Ogas engaged in some rousing tentacle sex as a reaction to SurveyFail.
Bullet Points!
SurveyFail
Let me explain. ... No, is too long. Let me sum up:
*Drs. Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam are writing a book called "Rule 34: What Netporn Teaches Us About the Brain." Despite the book's release date being in 2010, they are apparently just starting their research. In the course of their research, they revealed themselves as homophobic, biphobic, transphobic, misogynist, willfully ignorant, condescending shitheads who are bad scientists with bad methodology, little to no grasp of the ethics of research involving human subjects, and no desire to truly learn from their mistakes and the valuable information and insight fandom was willing to offer them.
Protests!
*In protest of their treatment of the members of our community, some fen have decided to educate these two "researchers" about certain rules of fandom: 1) "Don't Mess With Slashers, for You Are Cute and Look Good With Other Men" (warnings for Real Person Slash) (here, here, and a poem that is not slashy but is lolarious here; and 2) "Fuck Not With Fandom: Fandom Fucks Back, and You Can Forget About the Lube" (the aforementioned protest art that is still NSFW).
My Reaction
( Time for an anecdote. )
Anyway, as always, it is Defriending Amnesty Day around here all day, every day, including weekends and bank holidays. If what I've said is offensive to you, feel free to defriend me.
