I haven't been able to wade all the way through that post yet, because: um, giant. But! I did notice in what I looked at that it was very wank free, which made me very happy. And the fact that it's all free of ugliness? How wonderful! Yay for fandom!
Whatever, you know your Jasmine powers are controlling us all right now. I wouldn't have even written this without them!
I think there are a whole lot of people who for whatever reason think their fandom is an uncomfortable environment for just embracing the love, but they REALLY WANT TO. And I think that speaks to the pervasiveness of the judgment, but also, that a lot of people don't want to do that. I don't really know what to do with that hypothesis, but it is an encouraging thought.
I can see what you're saying. And I wish that those people understood that you can criticize out of a place of love. And so fandom can be all about the love! As long as you're not dismissing anyone else's pain, it really can be!
YOUR ICON!
