I think it's great for fandom to be increasingly accepted. I just think it has no room for promotion among politicians. Just like I think sports has no room for promotion among politicians even though it happens. I also think we can't look to this one instance of it being used as a negative and say it means much. Smear campaigns try to find anything they can as negative and I've found some ridiculous shit said in them that just made me go, "isn't that a good thing?" I mean, it's so ridiculous I bet they would have done the same if she listened to rap or rock n' roll. I can see it now. "She listens to music that incites violence and premarital sex! Obviously that will influence her lawmaking!"

In all honesty I doubt it will keep happening because it proved to be such a failure for him. People aren't going to keep using something in a smear campaign if it doesn't get them votes. Hopefully. I want to have a little faith that they aren't that stupid.

haha yeah, you are right. And there's nothing wrong with politicians to be open about what they like, but it isn't their job to promote hobbies...ESPECIALLY when there are a million and one more important things for them to be doing...

Yeah, that's true but I'm sorry if I was browbeating you. I don't know if I came off too harsh or not. Either way, I'm not sure but I think I came off too strong and I apologize for that.

I just felt I was using very strong language and being pushy. I'm glad it didn't seem so to you though. So never mind! :D

The WoW-playing politician in question was elected, which pleased me greatly regarding the smarts of the electorate.

I thought so. The article makes it seem that her hobby is was turned voters in her favor though... that interesting but I don't know if that's good or bad.

Thank you for the article link.
