Re: 27: A theory on all the recent yaoi posts

I get where you're coming from. Really. From what I'm reading, you're saying if the other side would just acknowledge your pain, then everything would settle down and you could move on.

The problem is, we each have to take personal responsibility for our own issues. Sure, it'd be nice if other people would just do "fill in the blank", but it's not something we can sit back and expect. Expectations of other people's actions just leads to disappointment. So we have to take control of our own environment. Maybe that means putting boundaries on our discussions of Batman vs Spiderman.

I know I'm sounding like Dr. Ruth here, but all we've been doing so far is picking at scabs and it's not getting us anywhere. The more people pick at scabs, the more back and forth occurs, the more heated things get, the more wording gets sloppy, the more offense gets taken, until finally someone (on whatever side) is able to say, "Aha! I knew it," and flounce off with the satisfaction that their thoughts on yaoi were finally proven correct(after enough picking at the scab).

I'd rather just quit picking.

You have all the right in the world to pick at a scab out in a public forum and say you don't like yaoi. Question is... what does it accomplish?

...It accomplishes the removal of a scab and a couple of interesting conversations?

Mostly, though, it has been a release gauge. I bottle everything remotely contraversial, because I know it brings the wank. So I actually got to state my opinion, and now I feel better. It's done! My opinion is online! I have actually said something, and I have gotten support, polite disagreement, and what looks very like an accusation of homophobia. Plus macros.

It's oddly liberating. Which is kind of the point, really, of any secrets blog or comm, isn't it?

what interesting conversations? haven't a lot of the anons been going on about screetching at each other and flinging shit and twigs in their 'rightness' on the subject?
