Can we get a break from the self-congratulatory debates on [livejournal.com profile] scans_daily filled with half-baked philosophy over why females like slash, or how plausible/OOC slash is, femslash vs. slash, how slash is an expression of female self-hatred, etc. etc. etc. fucking excetera?

I, for one, AM IN IT FOR THE PR0NO WOO.

Secondly, after my experience in Americorps, I can state with some authority that every male between the ages of 18-24 is bisexual after about 2 beers. Then again, so were all the females.

Just in general, can we NOT have huge giant essays in a comm that specifically discourages posting huge giant essays? I mean, explaining why you think this particular story/image you're about to post is REALLY FRIGGIN' COOL at great length is standard fannish behavior, so whatever, but [livejournal.com profile] scans_daily is not for launching your meta essays and discussions with a few token images or a litmus test. We shouldn't even have a "snooty discussion" tag, since "snooty discussion" is more or less against the rules!

I feel a little guilty for participating in that discussion at all, although in my defense my comments were mostly quiet poking at overgeneralization.

At least [livejournal.com profile] teh_no seems to have realized towards the end that this really wasn't the appropriate forum.

Mreh.

Some slashers = oversensitive and prone to "ZOMG PERSECUTION!"

Some non-slashers = HOW DARE YOU HAVE A FANTASY LIFE!

I have come across the anti-woman "I hate every female character in this book" thing with some slashers, however. Don't use the "no strong women in the genre" excuse for your slash and write five thousand word essays. As [livejournal.com profile] lyssie said brilliantly a few weeks ago, just admit that you like the cock, don't like the vag, and shut the hell up.

Ack sorry I wasn't on. I fell asleep. Now I'm cursed with insomnia since five am.

Ah, slash. I have been fortunate enough to escape these debates. Female hatred? WTF? So men who like lesbians are self-hating of their gender? Riiiight.

As for the beer = bisexuality discussion point, this reminds me of a short story. A girl I attend art school with is bisexual. She told us one morning, "Guys, I think I turned a girl bi [while she was drunk]." XD
