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.

Seeing obscenity in something innocent sounds a lot like something Lobelia would do...should I write the fic or will you? *g* Notice how it's the puritanical who seem to squawk like this? Repression causes more of what it seeks to repress and makes it come out nasty and hurtful.

My friend's daughter used to do the cutest thing before her bath when she was three. She'd run out into the living room (at our encouragement) and shake her booty while we all sang out "Naked Booty Dance!" Then she'd run back in the bathroom giggling. It was the cutest thing. Then my friend's parents came to visit once and so we encouraged the little one to do Naked Booty Dance for their entertainment. They said it was disgusting and all of us looked at them like they were from Mars. I was shocked by their response. How sad for them to be so repressed they couldn't see the cute in a happy toddler tickled to be naked for a moment?

I'm sure ridiculoud was a type-o, but I think it's the accidental creation of a perfect word for that type of person.

*giggle* Yeah, it was a typo, though apt!

*sigh* I get so sad when I hear people talk about how they had to have the Talk About Nakedness with their kid. How they have to tell their adorable three or four-year-old, "Sorry, sweetie, but you can't run around bare any more." Sorry, darlin', you have to start being afraid of people now. Sorry, love, you have to start hiding from people now. It's just ugly beyond belief that this kind of thing is the norm in our culture, and I honestly think that kind of indoctrination borders on child abuse. Deliberate twisting of a kid's psyche like that is just as damaging as whatever harm adults may fear, and it works on the entire population, rather than just some, so it's worse for humanity as a whole, eventually.

That is a damn cute story about the little girl. Little wee naked people are so damn cute - all that energy and innocence is so inspiring. Back in my Santa Cruz days, I used to hang out with a pagan couple and their kids. They were old-fashioned Northern California pagans, and we did a lot of hanaing around naked in that forest house. The kids, two boys, were typical little dudes, running around with that little dude energy, and I often found myself forgetting that nobody had any clothes on. It was quite simply irrelevant. And I often wonder just why people choose to believe such strange and unpleasant things about sex, and bodies, and life.

Oh, and if you feel so inclined, PLEASE write the fic. I'm actually considering something myself, but it would probably end up all angsty and tragic, and given the tenor of the situation, that would kinda miss the point. *giggle*
