oh *fandom*

[mimesere]

sometimes you make me want to cry. and/or punch people.

but hey! On the other hand, now I totally know who to avoid in fandom! So...that's a plus. *tries to look on the bright side*

(god, it JUST KEEPS GOING and horrifies me more and more).

ETA: the posts in question
In which Teyla and Ronon are white! No, really! - I swear, the more I hear about race relations in, um, England/Ireland/Wales/Scotland/what-have-you, the less likely I am to ever ever go there.

and!

In which the reason there's not more fic about characters of color is because they are not leads! or not hot enough! or interesting enough! Because when they *are*, there's a lot of fic! No, really!

Hee. I just...I wonder about it, you know? Like I said to buddleia's comment, I do wonder if the people that would be considered Of Color in the US who are being classified as white in the UK would agree.

So, I dunno. It is all very fraught.

Whats fraught for me is the staggering amount of ignorance involved... *shrug*
