brain has yet to come back online. metafandom wuh?*
Comm and set of delicious links that collect pan-fandom meta. There tends to be a lot of rage-inducing things there alongside all the interesting things. The most recent round of rage-inducing involved a bunch of people from the pro SF writing/publishing world arguing with SF fans about representations of race in sci-fi/fantasy. Terms like "orcs" and "nithings" were tossed around in regards to black/latina/Asian/Indian fans who were complaining too loudly (and then a fan who had posted several anti-racism essays was outed).
Actually, that was the most-recent-but-one. The most recent rage-inducing links were the ones yesterday about amazon.com categorizing all GBLT-themed books as explicit/adult material (including academic texts and YA books) and stripping their sales rankings away.
