Um, just a general post to say that, while I really, REALLY appreciate every single comment to my frothing-at-the-mouth post about the DD crap last night, I might not be getting to those comments for a while. I suck at replying to comments as a general rule, but last night's post was some bitter, bitter venting for me and I don't especially want to revisit that while I'm trying to focus on happier things.

I do appreciate the comments so much though, and the fact that so far no one has really tried to be an asshole about it in my livejournal. My overall impression of fandom this go-round is that 99% of people seem to be coming down on the side of witchqueen and appear to be as appalled as I am at the behavior of the community mods, and that's really nice to see.

And now I'm going to focus on the fact that My Chemical Romance exists and want me to be happy as a fan. Oh yes, they do, and they're telling me with their tongues. I can't help but think that if this is what they're doing for the majority of Projekt Rev, what are they going to do for the last show (my show)? Fuck onstage? Grab Bob down for a threesome, just to make me happy? These are the questions I'm going to be pondering at work today. Also, if you're looking for a way to get out some righteous anger and/or show how much you're not like the racist dickheads in fandom, you could write me some Travis/Bill. I mean um.

Yes, the mods of d_d apologized and took the word out of their community, and maybe I should just be the bigger person and forgive them and be pleased that they did what was asked of them in the end.

But I can't help but think of their actions regarding witchqueen, especially what rydra_wong pointed out to me here. I disagree with the fandom consensus that this has mostly do with language and the power of words; I think the difference in the way they behaved when confronted by Zvi and the way they behaved when confronted by white fans is deplorable, and that I have a harder time forgiving or forgetting.
