The Misogyny is catching! Run for yer life!

Dear SPN fandom,

Quit. It.  (Link contains spoilers for the season finale)

I happen to think that both sides have valid points. What is made of grand amounts of FAIL is that none of you seem to have the maturity to sit down and have a civil debate/forum about it rather than hurl invectives at each other in this fashion. Just because the other person has a different opinion than yours does not mean she is a party poopin', Show-hatin', misogynistic bitch who should be wanked out of fandom. 

I am having far too much fun with the phrase "misogynistic bitch". Hehe. Is that an oxymoron or just hypocritical? 

Wank aside though, the argument is extremely interesting. It covers  the areas of fan culture, anthropology and mass media. A really juicy research topic completely wasted on a spate of what essentially boils down to "don't you dare tell me to shut up, bitch!" posts. This is the case with many wanks, I have noticed. The last wank, centred around ficwriter1966 was inflammatory, but she did raise a couple of points I wanted to explore. Unfortunately, I discovered the wank a month too late. 

Just try to be civilized, at least? As far as I can see, nobody who has posted anything involving this wank so far can be in a remotely civil light. What do people hope to acheive by, "I don't give a fuck what you people think" posts, anyway? I agreed with many of the points both esorlehcarand sazzlettemade, but found their manner of putting them across extremely repellent. 

And for God's sake, stop bandying about words like "misogyny" and "sexism" so carelessly. Those are extremely inflammatory accusations you are making.

P.S: According to puipui, SPN fen are all pretty damn fucked up for liking such a misogynistic show. We quail before your feminist hellfire! Here's a hint: watch the fucking show!

P.S2: This wank, it is not even remotely funny. It's heartbreaking.

SQUEEE!!!!!!


(((((((HASINI))))))

It's so good to see you around! how are you? how'r evrything?

And just F.Y.I, folks. Fandom is not just a motley crew of geeks geeking out together. It's a community. It has people you care about in it, and lots of creativity into which has gone hours of love and hard work. It can change a person's whole mindset, opinions and give them exposure to things that they otherwise would never get from real life.

Not a SPN fan but I still gotta agree to that. Especially since it's valid for any kind of fannishness! *g* ;p

Oops. I deleted that bit. I still believe that, but given the ambiguity of the wank, I thought that remark might be taken out of context and used against what I'm trying to say here.

Missed you, Carole! How have you been? Scroll down one entry for my own RL update. Not pretty. =(

Seriously. And what makes me sick about this whole thing is the fact that it's WOMEN bandying these words around like they're nothing. WOMEN. What the hell, man?

I knew it was only a matter of time before this hit f_w. *sighs*

Staying out of it, especially because it's going to be a very long summer.

Misogynistic bitch, eh? Remind me to use that the next time I try to belittle someone else's intelligence. xD
