More on Strikethrough II: Electric Boogaloo

[annathepiper]

From deadsong via suzene, a fairly cogent and objective writeup of the entire situation.

Y'all may have missed last night that a 6A staffer got spotted participating in a thread about the entire brouhaha on efw (a.k.a. Existential Flame War). The folks over on the JF community find it mock-worthy. Others are far less amused. And this appears to have spawned a still-ongoing attempt to spam the living daylights out of the posts on news; last I checked, the most recent three posts were maxed out on comments and they're working on the fourth one down.

Over here, the fandom_wank wiki page about both the first Strikethrough and this one. Links off to various wank reports.

Whoops! My apologies. I've gotten so used to fandom being predominantly female that 'she' has become my default pronoun when speaking of.

And your latest update to the article is fascinating. Thank you for keeping up with this.

*blink* Fandom? Predominantly female? I must've missed something rather large, he said.

That's *ok*, I think we need more females in the propeller-beanie crowd, just for the ever-lovin' *perspective*, for Seldon's sake, but I'm just sayin' I missed something...
