Oh dear

It looks like mucun has closed her slash site:

http://havens.sakura.ne.jp/ban/

Wonder what happened? Anybody here read Japanese? It looks like she left a note.



ETA: OK, I've been over to Rei's journal and read the latest on the brouhaha.

And I can say that I am now officially disgusted with this fandom. I suppose it's a branch of my disgust with this prudish, finger-pointing, dirty-minded culture in general, that can see some kind of twisted sex in a rather sweet image of affection between friends. God, people can be filthy sometimes.

Feh.

For someone to find their way to a site belonging to someone of a different culture, and imply evil where clearly none was intended, is not only narrow-minded and reprehensible, but abominably rude as well.

It does tend to come back to just down right bad manners doesn't it? Very well said!

I think just about everything that's objectionable about American cultures and "values" can ultimately come down to plain bad manners, myself.

Doesn't it, though? And I have found that the older I get, the less tolerant of rudeness I am, and is probably why this incensed me so.

It's not as though Mucun had been in the habit of posting nothing but fluffy F&S pics and then had sprung a hardcore F/S on her friends. In that case, her friends might have had just cause to ask her for a bit of a warning, although she still would have had every right to post it on her own site.

But apparently this was a friend of a friend who seems to think that she and her friends have the right to enforce their views upon the internet at large. That, I submit, is utterly uncalled for, and they'd do better to stay at their own sites and not be judging the world at large.

And to hurt such a sweet person in the process with out any justification whatsoever except their own twisted misperceptions? That's what really got my hackles up. I get pretty annoyed when people are rude to me, but if they are rude to someone who's genuinely sweet and kind, I just boil!
