Mod of

therightfangirl here, happy to answer your questions and hopefully make you less sad inside!

I think you're overthinking the name (not an insult, just an observation). The name is because we are (generally) right-wingers who are also fangirls (and some fanguys). Fandom, especially fandoms heavy on slash fic and such, tend to attract left-wingers. And when you have a group of people who most of the time agree on their political beliefs, it can become an assumption that everyone agrees, and that people with different thoughts on politics couldn't possibly like fandom. So we end up seeing a lot of casual and sly comments—or outright bashing—of people, values, and general beliefs that we support. It can get... oh, really frustrating.

So, this community arose. It's just a safe place, where you can fangirl anything and not get dogpiled for not stepping in line with the rest of fandom. We've been politics-heavy lately, but that will slow after the election, and we'll talk about hot celebs and fun shows and movies and blah blah blah. It's just another comm.

The benefit is that a lot of people who once felt they were the only right-wing fan of, say, Torchwood in the world, now realize that they're NOT alone, and people make new friends and blah blah blah. Like, y'know, any other community out there.

I'll finish up by saying that no, dickishness is a human problem, not a problem of any political party. Heh.

Wow, for one thing, I just have to say thank you right off the bat for responding this in such a reasonable way and so extensively. You're kinda awesome, sir-or-madame. c:

That said, yeah, I think I was overthinking the name. Initially, I really did assume that it was like... a community for fandom that brought personal politics directly into it, which to me seems really unnecessary and divisive, whether done by conservatives or progressives. Your explanation makes a lot of sense, and it sounds like a pretty fun community -- I hope you guys enjoy it! Having other like-minded people around is always cool, and yeah, the random bashing can be... urgh.

And yeah, thanks for the last bit. I see that said entirely too much, heh. "WHY ARE _ SUCH ASSHOLES," which always makes me sigh and shake my head whether I'm part of the group being singled out or part of the group the OP belongs to. Bad reasoning is bad; it's always nice to meet those of "the other side" (though, I think as long as we're all human beings, that's a pretty false distinction...) who are just like every other decent person out there across the board!

Well thanks! I strive to achieve awesome in everything I do. :D (And I'm a chick, btw.) And it's only fair to say that I didn't plan to respond anywhere here, but your comment was thoughtful and polite and I got a sense that you wanted to understand, and I respect that very much :)

Glad we got you sorted out -- I think a comm for making everything in fandom into something political would be...gah, I can't even imagine how dull and annoying that would be :P Our group is fun and it's really nice to have a place to go vent when you don't want to piss off your entire flist. Also, we have picspams of hot people! LOL

I think the world could be a better place with a little bit of civility and common sense from everyone. It doesn't seem like that should be so far-fetched, does it? *sigh*
