Mostly I kind of very much want to crawl back into my fandom hidey-hole. No moar LJ drama plz. But there are discussions that this has prompted that I think are actually kind of awesome, from the basics of the power dynamics of sexual attention to the development of the geek male.
I also don't think this post has done a very good job of expressing my own anger at some of this, but for some reason I tend to keep placing myself in the role of the person saying, "Yes, that was shitty, but there are a lot of distortions of the truth going around about why it was shitty and that's not OK either". Whether it's intentional or not, I loathe spin. I want people would get upset over the reality of something rather than someone else's interpretation of the reality, and I hate seeing people who are basically on my side of a dispute making my side look bad by arguing a fiction.
*sigh* I'll be over here looking longingly at my hidey-hole.
