Re: ... wow, Devin.
Let me rephrase: I wasn't aware you were attacking DG. I'm trying to criticize her works here.
about how anyone who dislikes this scene is a stupid fanboy who's misreading Grayson's intent I'm pretty sure I'm not dumb enough to attack anyone on what they like or dislike. My posts/comments on my lj refer to interpretation of this scene, never "like". Thanks to you, I see where the issues people have with this scene come from.
I fundamentally disagree with it, because, again - and this is me dealing with your points of Tarantula lookin gentle - to me it's normal that Tarantula looks and reads gentle, since she is, and she is poisonous. You see her being pictured as an oasis, I see her only adding to the oppressive landscape (she doesn't even let him move, she's on him).
Now, I'm not going to answer your comments on this comm because I fear we're coming a little close to aggressiveness, here, but if you want, we could continue to debate on my lj. I don't think it'd add anything to what we've already said, but if you'd like, that's okay.
