- telesilla: As always, not enough. - And here's the thing: those kinds of ads aren't appearing next to content I seek out on the web. They appear next to MY content. My words about gay marriage, my pornographic fiction, my words about my life with Nancy. -
- darkrose: What it really comes down to - I don't think there's a conspiracy.//What I do think is that because of the way AdSense works, the fact that LJ uses them means that there's a possibility that my slash, and my political posts, and my posts about my life with Ruth could potentially result in an ad from a group of people who is actively working to make my life just a little more unhappy -
- fairestcat: Just in case I needed another reason to leave livejournal - So here's the thing with ads and livejournal. They're a lot more pervasive than a lot of people think.

Think about this in advance. -
- melusina: Sometimes Mondays are for meta - Writing against the tide of fannish assumptions - But what happens if you disagree with a commonly accepted piece of fanon? Or if your version of a popular character is radically different from the most common fannish interpretation? What if you're sick to death of a particular characterization and you're hoping to persuade people to re-examine canon and see things in a different light? -

giandujakiss: Oh dear god - A (male) anthropologist evolutionary psychologist tries to deconstruct slash.//Of his analysis I'd take issue with, I'd start with his assumption that m/m slash is written for and consumed by heterosexual women, that slash is just like mainstream romance, and that bizarre statement at the end that ... I will let you discover for yourselves. -- anatsuno: adventures in crossposting - But this is precisely the reason why personally I'm only removing people who crosspost from my reading filter on LJ, and not defriending them. -
