It's never too late for wank
I'm surprised no one has posted this already...


So Justacat creates a slash resource site that claims to be "A compilation of other people's slashfic rec sites, recommended stories, story archives, and other useful information for the committed and occasional slasher." Many rejoice. Some not so much.



Acadine has some complaints ranging from minor to a bit bigger. Her initial rant is over mistakes made by justacat, the scope/audience of Justacat's site, slashers ("Most (not all) of the "dedicated slashers" [she's] encountered") and misogyny, leading her to wonder: "Given that justacat has already made the fuckups relating to my fic above, compounded with the audience she's catering to, I really don't want to be asscociated with her site. I don't need the creepiness on top of the incompetance, basically, and her site isn't providing me any kind of real benefit to outweight the fuckups."


People respond, from differing sides, some taking offense, some agreeing that they too have issues with the site, some defending justacat, and so the debate in the comments go into several different directions.



Then Acadine posts a second momumental post summarizing her side, justacat's defender's points, with bulleted lists. You have to applaud her thoroughness. I'm sure I would have given up half way through and resorted to just cursing at everybody.
