So, anyway.... Comicfangirls
The other night, my rooommate was bitching about the lack of actual, comics-related discussion on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
comicfangirls. So, me, being the generous, accomodating roommate I am, cleaned up my BSG and Atlantis reviews, tacked on some stuff about PHD, and posted.
I am now regretting having posted. And not, as some might thing, because of my lack of replies.
No, I'm regretting having posted, because it means that when I noticed, in skimming to see if there were other comics-related discussions, I discovered that someone had posted a questionnaire to the community, asking such things as, "Have you lost your virginity?" and "Are you over- or under- weight?" ... Now, I assumed, from the replies, thatcomicfangirls, being the bastion of Feminisim that it is, would reply with mockery and trolling, and possibly a lot of, "what relevance does this have?"
This is, after all, the community that was up in arms over the treatment of women in Sin City (they might have been fetishized, but at least they didn't roll over and give up personal information to some unknown guy on the internet).
Imagine my surprise when every. single. reply. was from some girl telling this guy all of the information he asked. There was no questioning, there was no mockery, there were no cries for the mods to delete this wholly inappropriate post. Not only that, the post got linked on metafandom, and women from THERE answered the questions.
And here's where I say, I wish I hadn't posted the other night.
Because I posted a general message to the community, barely restraining myself from calling them sheep. Sadly, I'm sure they all think I'm just having a fit because no one replied to me.
Which, no, I'm having a fit, 'cause you're all fucking sheep, and pretty much proving that girls as comic fans? Are not smart, and thus, the companies are still going to ignore us.
