Oh dear

It looks like mucun has closed her slash site:

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.

To quote Doctor Hayward, "Dick, I did not drop you on your head when I brought you into this world. Don't give me cause to regret that."

Julie, I think you're a great person, and I sure can't remember you ever being the kind of asshat that we're talking about. I've made a general statement about an ugly trend in America, and you seem to have taken it personally and put words in my mouth. As you well know, I wasn't talking about you in particular, and if you're going to insist that nobody ever be allowed to use a generality should you happen to fall into the category being talked about, then you're going to run into trouble, since it's impossible to talk about cultural and social issues without employing these kinds of generalities.

Reading my post and comments here, what exactly makes you think that anyone would say, "Oh yeah, mews1945 is definitely one of them!" Since you don't go around bitching at others for their artwork, who's going to think I'm talking about you? And therefore, why do you feel the need to proclaim that you are Not One Of Them? Volunteering the information that "I am not a prude!" (or a pervert, or a thief, or a lawyer) rather begs the question, "And who exactly said you were?"

However, I do appreciate that you agree with what I'm saying, Julie, and that you wanted to be supportive of the discussion, and you have my thanks for that, absolutely.
