*nod* I just. Hm. apetslife's post bothers me because I feel that it's a disingenuous way of avoiding/justifying the problem of a lack of fic or fan-created media about characters of color. Not necessarily *hers*, but I have heard people say, "I would write characters of color if they weren't all boring!" and it raises my hackles. Because...really? We're fine writing the same old white characters time and time again, but the characters of color are boring? And then, on top of that, there's the notion of a credited cast member being called support and saying that's a reason there's not more fic. When, um, really, I'm pretty sure there's more Lorne/Parrish fic than there is Teyla fic and that's just wrong.

I am very irritated by the whole thing. And growing more irritated by the day! It is a fun feeling.
