It's intelli-wank!
This probably won't be appreciated very much by fandom_wankers, since the posts use lots and lots of big long academic type words, and everybody knows this is just a pack of drooling hyenas with less than half a brain between us. But I thought if I posted it here it might make us look more smarter!

It all started when Jenny-O had a rant (based on things happening in still other LJs) about "art and morality" which in itself was mostly an intelli-commentary and not a wank. Your stomach lining is not my morality, and I'm sort of worried that artists are the ones who have to consider this because no one else does the teaching that fantasy and reality are usually two very separate things, and that make-believe is the land of id. And does not have to correspond to reality and ego any more than you want it to. I mean who can argue with that.

But lo, there are LJ comments, and people get uppity.

Leadensky makes a comment best summarized as:"...reading slash had had an impact on my personal moral judgments regarding (particularly male) homosexuality ... if I were to read a quantity of well-written fiction that depicted adult male/preteen boys in loving, positive relationships, that I might start to change my (highly negative) opinion of pedophilia." which insults Roseveare:"Er... I'm fairly sure you don't mean it that way, but I don't know if you realised how *incredibly* offensive that came across as upon first reading, especially given how you're equating slash/gay relationships with paedophilia in the next line."

There follows a descent into a long back and forth discussion with lots of big words being thrown around and a general underlying tone of conflict.

Finally it moves to another journal where it becomes a personal attack.
