The Slytherin Fandom Is Not Dead
Lots of links here, and I probably left out stuff. Oh well...
A new anonymous journal appears on Eljay:
slytherfanatics. Its first entry is titled
Yes, Ataniell, Pureblood Prejudice Is Racism and argues that
ataniell93 is being illogical about the subject.
bookshop/Aja seems to have been the first to post about in public, but she's locked it since. Have no fear, there's a lot of first-reaction wankiness in the comments of the
slytherfanatics entry as well.
ataniell93 posts
I know about the post in slytherfanatics, and an icon
in retaliation. A bit later,
she announces she's leaving the fandom.

Just when you were thinking the online HP fandom couldn't possibly make a bigger arse of itself if it tried, it unexpectedly turns the other cheek. Condemns
slytherfanatics.
sistermapie writes a post about Dumbledore but the
comments are filled with wank, including a very random
Fandom Wank used to be funnier!Then there's a follow-up post on
slytherfanatics Ataniell93 is not racist! But her position isn't conducive to rational argument either.
A.J. Hall
writes another rant. Someone called
agarttha takes advantage of the general fuss to write a weird rant about how
'One cannot, therefore, go about brandishing puerile ideas of DNA and red blood around.'
sistermapie writes
a serious essay on the subject, but there is wank in those comments. Our own
darkrosetiger has
her take here. A third post on
slytherfanatics New standards of Niceness about
ataniell93 and
theregoesyamum. No reaction yet that I can find.
And, just for variety's sake, wank of the non-is-HP-racist?-sort,
Ataniell93 tells threeoranges (whom she recently banned from her LJ) that she's such a Gryffindor on
kannaophelia's LJ, and
kannaophelia makes a rule'that no one is allowed to accuse anyone else of belonging to a certain Hogwarts house in my lj.'
ETA: WTF????????????? "as a matter of sheer practicality the children probably will in fact be worse off being half- whatever than full- something, so it isn't that the cautious advice is wrong precisely"
