132) He looks very much like Sacha Baron Cohen too. Just saying ♥
146) Considering most slash is probably written without the intention of advocating gay rights, and instead written to fetishize homosexuality, I don't see your point. Why should your political stance change the quality of your writing. That's stupid. If you're actually an advocate, you'd be better off actually participating in your own community in real life and promoting from there. And to be honest, I think people lie to themselves if they only support gay rights because of reading or writing slash fic.
Not supporting something does not equal understanding something. Here's an example: I don't support violent death; does that mean I am incapable of drawing gratuitous gore?
Or this one: I don't support racism; does that mean I can't depict discrimination accurately in my fanfic?
151) Lol, same here. But it's fandom, and subtext will be seen anywhere.
157) Option B: Another username?
168) Eh, I don't think that makes you elitist or the like. Isn't that just the effect of hype? Too much of it can either get you to raise your expectations too high, or get sick from the amount of exposure.
n!f2) I'm sorry. Mooncups just stuck out and I thought this was like that other menstrual cup secret; subliminal marketing o_O
