ranrata: It Should Be Said, Un-Anon: I Smell Bullshit - Forgive me for being a little deeply suspicious of anyone who goes on and on about the need for diversity, but makes excuses to not watch shows that actually are diverse. From looking at their favorite programming, it's very clear they're not interested in anything not centered around white men. -![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
ivanolix: Standards for gender equity in TV shows - I'd like to frame this topic more as what we should have instead of what we don't. And how there isn't one good way to do it, and how there are lots of sneaky ways that gender equity escapes even an observant fan's notice. -- lyssie: [in girlwank] I can't decide if this is meta or a rant... - But, basically, there's been comments in fandom_secrets and other places that generally boil down to:No one writes the femslash I want to read.Which is all well and good, but--look. What does that even mean? -
- anatsuno: More podfic talk - sorry, no cut for this :) - I thought I'd lay out some elements of a strategy to both get more feedback - enabling listeners of yours if you're a podfic artist - note that this is a fumbling start, as most of these ideas will be things I have not yet implemented - and to give more feedback if you are, like me, a podfic listener. :)) -
- jalendavi_lady: Writer's Block: Speak and spell - Really, LJ. Way to fail. I seem to recall a little incident a few years back that involved me having to get text message updates as to whether or not I still had a fanfiction journal or not because I didn't have Internet the week a little thing called STRIKETHROUGH happened. -
- deathpixie: Writer's Block: What's under Snape's cape? - Actually, I find this question really creepy, but moreso the answers from various folks who are saying they'd pat down X character "to cop a feel". Considering the stories coming out of the whole TSA security upgrade in terms of scanners/pat downs, where people are feeling they're being sexually assaulted (and, in legal terms, it is assault in many cases where there has been inadequate warning), it's really an inappropriate question, and pretty much trivialises and ignores the legitimate concerns people have with the TSA's new regime. -
