	The Stranger's Internet policy is basically to troll the hell out of their readers and then giggle about the long message board threads. Consider this Critical Mass post (and its sequel), which are there just to outrage people, who then outrage other people. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Yeah, the Stranger's comments are typically the definition of 'oft wank'; I liked this one because of the earnest defenses the random slash fan crowd was mounting. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	There's a reason I gave up reading Savage Love. Life's too short to deliberately read a column that (probably intentionally) pisses me off every two to three weeks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maybe you didn't know! I also didn't! But now that we know, we are permanently impregnated with little brainbabies As if arsebabies weren't enough, slash now brings us brainbabies! I'll leave it up you, otf_wank, and your fertile imaginations to determine the means of impregnation, gestation and birth. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Oh that's easy. The slashfans swallowed the mother whole when the mother was pregnant, and when the baby is ready it will burst out of their foreheads. The Greeks had this figured out centuries ago. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	..you know, with little gems like "I guess, first of all, I wouldn't put anything past nerd-women who go to conventions and rub magical wizard staffs on each others' lady areas", I can't help but side with the angry slashers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I guess, first of all, I wouldn't put anything past nerd-women who go to conventions and rub magical wizard staffs on each others' lady areas" ... So what you're saying is, the reason that page refuses to load for me is because FireFox is trying to protect me from the misogynistic asshattery? Thanks, FireFox! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Directly insulting the fans you're trying to rile up is bad form. Like bringing a Humvee with a machine gun to a fox hunt. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	She's still in that "Tee-hee OMG slash is so naughty" stage. Which would have been rather charmingly naive if she weren't being such a complete misogynistic douche about it. She also appears to be a bit slow if she couldn't make the leap between the huge reams of slash fanfiction and publishing houses eager to cash in on a new genre. The book sounds like utter trash.

	This comment here for some reason pissed me off and made me laugh at the same time. Aren't historical romances supposed to have a happy ending? To be historically accurate, a 1600's gay romance would have to end with a big bonfire. Not a happy ending. (Reply to this)(Thread)
