You know what? Ron has his faults, but damn if "All this has happened before, and it will happen again" is not the best phrase EVER for fandom.
For example:
- oh look! Adrianne Palicki is rumored to be coming back for a guest appearance on Supernatural. Instead of the joy across the land this SHOULD bring, or even curiosity, there are, of course, a gaggle of people who have judged this is a bad thing. What a shock.
- oh look! Warnings ver. 3 million. I'd link but it's all over![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metafandom. This is the first time I've heard the "privilege" word getting bandied about so much though. Yeah, there's another word that's going to get sucked dry very soon from overuse. Fandom sure does like using its big hammers lately, which makes it all that much more tiring, I think, and certainly takes a one-way trip to wank where nobody listens and nobody's discussing anything, just stating policy positions and trying very hard to back the other side into a corner of PURE EVIL.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
I slept horribly, have a headache, dumped kiddo at my parents, and fandom is being a drag. It must be summer.
Thank god for killer robots, and plans for double dating to Public Enemies. OH yes, hubby was adorable. "You want to go, right?" -- "Um, hon, which part of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale shooting guns in fedoras did you miss?"

you know, you bring up a good point, and maybe it explains why I'm DONE with this round. I just don't see fics that aren't warned. AFAIK even this particular go-round got kicked off by ONE fic without a warning on a comm that required one (so fail on courtesy and even simple rule reading). I see fics that have warnings, or authors who say they don't warn, so caveat lector. And if someone else comes from a place in fandom where the convention is different (like, warning for cheating? WTF? I'm not warning for that in BSG fandom *snort*), then someone can tell them. Maybe there is a massive shortfall in warnings someplace, but not in my fandoms, so I just don't get why it has to blow up into the same damn thing as always.
Except it's summer and fandom needs a new topic. (Slash and/or the Misogyny thereof, in August, that's my pick)
