106 Just stop. STOP. I don't want to know that my tax dollars pay the salaries of people like you.

108 That's why you should be watching mecha anime! In most real type (as opposed to super) mecha series, practically everyone wears a military uniform.

128 Congratulations, you're like the fifth person to say the exact same fucking thing.

136 Fandom is not a teaching tool.

144 Yeah, I kept using the site for that purpose long after it had lost any interest for me (pretty much around the time 4chan came along -- people tend to forget that Gaia was 4chan before 4chan existed).

149 I don't understand all the hate about her. I can identify with the character, because I go through periods of mania excitement where I aggressively pursue a project that I think is going to change the world in some significant way. I think deep down, people know they need innovators and crave excitement, but they resent the people who bring about that change and excitement. They're just haters.

151 God, me too! And I know what you mean about it having to be a secret. The man hasn't done anything innovative musically, he just parrots what others have done. The only thing I can think of that he's done is to make that type of music even more commercial than it already way. But seriously, I'm sick of his fans (even though one of my best friends is one of them).

154 She makes me feel better about being bipolar (in B4 some idiot jumps all over me for admitting that I'm bipolar).

164 What movie is that?

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

164 - Defiance. Latest Daniel Craig, about a bunch of Jewish fighters/resistance whatever you want to call them, in WWII.

[childings.livejournal.com]

What's with all the WWII movies all of a sudden?

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

The uniforms are cool? ;)

Hey just be glad it's not another case of how America won WWII. Valkyrie is about the Germans and this is about Jewish fighters.

[dragoon1940.livejournal.com]

There was a pretty good film/mini-series a few years back about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Can't remember what they called it...

How the fuck is Haruhi bipolar? Why would a non-character plot-device make you feel better about your own personal struggles? You are yourself, regardless of any external influences.

Re: 154

[childings.livejournal.com]

Do you know anything about how people with bipolar disorder act?

136

[moon-very-thin.livejournal.com]

136. Fandom's constantly teaching though, in the sense that there are tropes and mores that are constantly being passed on - like the things the OP lists. The Mary Sue taboo is possibly fandom education at it's most obvious.

So I guess if feminist thought were part of the ethos the way Sue-repair is, fandom could make quite an interesting learning tool. Just a thought.

Re: 136

[childings.livejournal.com]

Okay, fandom can be a teaching tool for language. I guess what I meant to say is that I don't think fandom is for teaching dogma/beliefs.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a feminist today because of fandom. Fandom (and meta, specifically), opened my eyes to gender, race, class, sexuality, etc issues. Likewise, a good friend of mine was raised in a fundamentalist, homophobic environment, and she credits slash fanfiction with making her see that hey, gays are people too. Is fandom sufficient? No, but it gets people started, makes them see the world in a different light, shows them how to engage critically with texts and culture - it is a teaching tool.

Re: 136

[childings.livejournal.com]

There's a different between using something to raise awareness and using something to actually teach. I don't doubt a lot of people were made aware of gender/race/class/sexuality issues because of fandom, but that doesn't mean that a comic book, tv show, movie, anime, etc. is a good teaching tool.

[saphron-girl.livejournal.com]

Um.... she said she's resisting temptation and NOT getting into the fandom?
