That was interesting, thank you. As I said in the secret I don't think everything is peachy in TV-land; I honestly just do think that even people not ignoring the issues have such a high tendency to "blame" their obviously (to me, at least) skewed and gender- and race-obsessed view of a show on the creators. Why does fandom not like the "colored" people? Because the show creators are writing them horribly and thereby making it impossible for us to like them, obviously! Same with females. Ad ifinitum. And if we bully out a female character from a show, that is a good thing in fandom, because we stood together and rid the world of such a horribly badly-written female character. Eh. No, the writers aren't always doing the best job possible, but sometimes I want to throw things at fandom and tell them to look at themselves before they start accusing others. It doesn't help that fandom generally degenerate into a circle-jerk in situations like that, everyone confirming everyone else's opinions that no, we are not racist or misogynist, it's them. I'm not saying that shipping McShep or Wincst or Petrellicest in themselves makes you racist, but if fandoms and the individuals in them keep only shipping pairing of that, uh, "kind", can't we at least see that there is an unconscious tendency for sexual racism in fandom, which is just as blatant as the conscious tendency in TV-land to cast white males in their late-20s and early-30s as the main characters? Not to mention Heroes fandom's obsession with young and skinny blondes. "I like the character and ships I like because I like how they're written!" is fine and all, but look at the bigger picture. The bigger picture is creepy.

I'm rambling, I didn't mean to attack you with that.
