As a slash fan and writer, I'd appreciate a bit more respect.
(This is maybe more [info]fandom_lounge-y, but most of the comments are fairly wanky.)

Local rag reviews book, enrages slash fans.

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.

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.

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.

Also, the biphobia. Although I suppose that's easily included under the "pisses me off every two to three weeks" heading.

And the fatphobia, and all the other non- able-bodied-white-gay-male stuff he screws up or dismisses out of hand. For a liberal who frequently suggests ditching monogamy and going with whatever kinks your partner may have, he can be remarkably and stubbornly conservative.

He's been a dick to the asexuals for years as well.

Don't get him started on the Iraq war, either.

Don't forget how the black people voted for Prop 8! Because no-one of colour can be gay/queer, not at all.

I like seeing actual publications using the same business tactics as Kotaku.

Maybe we should send them a fake rumour and see if they print it!

As a frequent reader of Kotaku, I'd like to defend them, but I've noticed an awful lot of articles about piracy on there lately.
