Oh wait, I could have taken a 'better' quote:

"I hate this. I hate that I feel like I can't legitimately talk about how much I love certain female characters, because (like Elizabeth from White Collar), it's seen as just trying to "politely include the women for the sake of political correctness." because of course everyone knows how much we want the men to fuck at the exclusion of all else. I can't talk about how much I love Whip It because no one cares. "

	I guess I can be glad slash is but a minor aspect of fandom for me, so that I get to talk about awesome female characters all I want. Hooray! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somehow, I've seen other slash writers pull this off without their friends leaving in a giant exodus. Strange, I know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But, see, if she talks about something no one cares about, no one will read it, and her powers will drain! There is nothing as painful as someone skimming past your entry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shhh, I'm hoping no one has noticed, and everyone is sitting there going, "Hmm, clitoris is slang for penis I've never heard before! How odd!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Given Supernatural, I assume at some point this season, that exact plot will happen on the show. "Oh no, Dean has turned into a woman. Who looks EXACTLY LIKE Sam's ex-girlfriend! THIS IS AWKWARD." Both Sam and Castiel will hate themselves for being aroused, fandom will flip out, and Sera Gamble will cackle in her mountaintop castle, surrounded by her harem boys.

	I'll be sure to let you know. By the way, did I tell you I recently discovered that this week's episode is called "Live Free or Twihard"? Apparently the title got leaked about thirteen hours before I posted the fic, so I can't say they were ripping me off (and they can say I was ripping them off, BASTARDS), but it's still fairly hilarious.

	Okay. Goldfish asks pui. pui posts them. Goldfish puts up a link. You click on Goldfish's link, Goldfish gets a referral fee. Then you put up a link, and...wait, no that's a Ponzi scheme. Never mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)

*snort* I still remember how I found out about her, by checking on her "Super Guide to The Characters Of The Prince Of Tennis"... that not only didn't say ONE SINGLE WORD about the (not very frequent but still cute and charming) female characters, but tried to make the series look as if it was a boys love manga with super canon Yaoi Tru Luv instead of just a Shounen Jump series with slashy ship tease.

Then again, she also was a Sakuno basher of the "die Sakuno how dare you be shy and sweet and be in the way of my yaoiz" so I shouldn't have been surprised.

	Would this be the same White Collar fandom where almost everybody includes El in their slash fic and OT3 is like a way of life, because she's just that awesome? What deep dark corner is this woman hiding in? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	mcity 2010-11-03 03:38 am UTC (link)
	I thought White Collar fandom was wall to wall OT3, specifically because Elizabeth is so awesome? (Reply to this)(Parent)
