Who told you fandom is a female place? That's both patently untrue and silly.

(And what exactly about slash is "empowering" for women?)

[(Anonymous)]

The writing-fanfiction-and-liking-slash part of fandom, at least, is predominantly female. And that's what a lot of people within that part of fandom (which p much includes f!s) mean when they say "fandom." So it's not a crazy thing to say.

[(Anonymous)]

Being "predominantly female" and being a "female place" are not the same thing to me. A "female place" sounds like it intentionally excludes males, whereas just being "predominantly female" means more females than males are interested in interacting in it.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the lines between those two things are much more ambiguous and that there are ways in which the different modes of interaction in a space that's predominantly female can mark it out as being culturally female, in the same way you can have culturally male spaces that don't explicitly exclude females, but I won't insist on the idea and in any case, we're approaching the point of having an argument that's entirely about defining terms and that's usually really dull so yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

I hear you.

I read a lot of fic, a lot in the spn fandom. I write it too.

and while most of the people I follow are female writers (because I like their stuff, they have the same kinks as me), although there are also genderfluid and gay males that I read as well. (there may even be straight men, because not everyone states their gender and sexual preferences).

[(Anonymous)]

Just to be clear here, I'm not at all saying that there aren't or shouldn't be men in this part of fandom. It would be deeply ironic and pointless for me to say so, as well as wrong. I'm saying I think it's culturally female.

[kallanda_lee]

Not even that crazy long ago, I've seen that opinion proclaimed right here on F!S.

[(Anonymous)]

That seems really silly, considering a fair number of our named members are male. And, well, Case.

[(Anonymous)]

they probably said that to get a rise out of you lovelies who get their panties in a twist over ~SJWs~

[kallanda_lee]

Well, FS used to have much more SJW's before we sort of stopped tolerating them.

[cloud_riven]

Yeah. I used to wonder why no one seems to remember that we had a lot of that, but then I remember that ofc people come and go (just like general fandom trends and news).

[dethtoll]

I wish they'd come back. They were more interesting.

[sarillia]

Yeah, it'd be fun to argue with them for a change. I find them really easy to avoid on Tumblr so it would be a novelty to be called misogynist or whatever.

[purpleseas]

They're over here every Friday: http://simsecret.livejournal.com/
I have no idea why.

[kallanda_lee]

You just want to see the world burn, don't you?

[dethtoll]

We have some of the most boring trolls in the world here.

[kallanda_lee]

Sadly that is true.

[(Anonymous)]

FS's definition of SJWs is so loose, I don't trust you guys either, so...

[(Anonymous)]

You shouldn't. >:)

[kallanda_lee]

Ehhmm, for example, people who bullied someone into self-harm because she compared not understanding trans-ness to not understanding botany, for example.

We had some pretty bad ones.

[(Anonymous)]

Fuck off.

[(Anonymous)]

Sad that an un-PC rebel like you can't think of a more clever comeback than "fuck off."

[(Anonymous)]

Hop over to LJ and browse some posts from 2010 and 2011. There's a reason people around here remember SJWs.
