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.

I tried to defend her art, but I am afraid she doesn't read English well enough to know that. :(

*feels bad about the whole thing*

That is frustrating. I'm thinking about writing to her on the subject of Not Feeding Trolls, but I'm afraid it might come off badly. It's distressing to see artists caving in to people of that nature, and also very telling that said people seem to target thoses who will easily give in. Rei is clearly a nice person, and thus an easy target for flamers.

Myself, I've been wishing for years that I'd get some flames, but no luck yet. Folks like that don't much relish a real fight, I guess.

Cara, I just started a project for Rei, to show our appreciation for her artwork. Go here if you'd like to consider joining in. :)
