- I have more of a follow up post to my last entry about why I don't like those certain characters and how there are a lot of reasons besides just the tropes, reasons that are rooted in the fact that there so much about them I find bland and not original and irritating about those characters because it's the same thin/white/cis/het/able "too pretty to be a cop" type woman I've seen so many times I'm sick of it. by sage-theory on March 29, 2010
- What floors me is individuals who decide it's perfectly alright to not only insult me but make broad-sweeping judgements on an entire fandom completely unprovoked. by blind-foxx on March 29, 2010

- Often when bloggers or activists push back against ableist language and stereotypes in the media, especially pop culture, someone will respond with an argument that there are more important disability issues to address and that the topic at hand is mostly irrelevant to disability rights as a whole. by abby jean on March 29, 2010
- I just finished rereading Robert A. Heinlein’s STARSHIP TROOPERS, and I was left with an odd question lingering. Blazoned on the cover of my paperback edition boast the words “controversial best seller!” Why is this book controversial? by johncwright on March 29, 2010
