it's about M-E! MY ENJOYMENT!!

I am going to make an entirely unrelated post in a bit, but right at this second I am busy playing a game of "I'm not going to alter artistic visions for the vid just so there's some racial evenness" or: why I'm glad I'd already defriended

mlyn. Mother of GOD.

Holy crap!

Those poor vidders, so hogtied to dominant visions, unable to imagine alternatives....WAIT A MINUTE.

That comment is *noxious*.

Ugh.

Thank programmers for ban-set.

i don't think she would approve of your tone, maggie. you're making her feel defensive and as if she's in a hostile, judgy unaccepting environment. tsk tsk.

sigh.

Oh jesus balls why.

Fandom: where being a privileged asshat is just a stylistic choice!

oh for the love of. that's just. grrrrrargh.

awesome. i've gone incoherent with rage.

I especially like the comment elsewhere about 'Fandom 2.0'. I'm picturing Clint Eastwood with a gun crochetying it up telling people to get off his lawn.

UGH.

Why can't you leave people alone to achieve their artistic visions of exquisite whiteness? >:( Don't you know stories are just better when everyone in them is white?

I am SO DAMNED SICK of people's artistic vision.

You are not Vincent fucking van Gogh. If you are, I will happily help you with that extraneous ear.

Yeah, that made my head explode, but I felt like I wasn't involved in vidding enough to really say anything. And I'm trying to keep my blood pressure down.

Oh, love the tone argument she uses in all her comments. Because we haven't seen that one trotted out in every. single. race discussion EVER.

Also, her comprehension fail is epic.

Aw. Poor oppressed white woman. Those mean POC ruing her squee with their Oppreshuns.

It's this kind of thing that makes me realize at least my corner of fandom has been cluebatted into not saying that shit when called on their fic.

I just had an awful lot of white wine with my lunch so I am pleasantly unable to muster deep upset about those comments.

Well, that and i just *do not care* about this kind of shit any more.

It was just so much better before that evil Fandom 2.0 where people insist on talking about issues and all that stupid non-sparkly-pony stuff. Respect their pain, Maggie.

I can't even.

Sweet god. On a biscuit.

I've been reading that whole thread. I'm completely flummoxed by the inability to see their (I think there's at least two idiots in this thread, yes) economic privilege even a little bit. That old timey Windoze 98 computer that broke down all the time and could hardly do any vidding probably cost close to $2K in 1999. And the whole "but anyone can vid today"... I just. I just shake my head.
