For sure. She didn't just "discover she had this kink" — she's fetishizing this poor man who is her current lover and deciding that he needs to be down with the whole Nazi thing and she's going to help him. Jesus Christ.

Wow, that first letter is gonzo in its selfishness and obtuseness. So you only just discovered — now that you have a German lover — that you have a thing for murders who almost succeeded in wiping an entire ethnic group off the planet? Convenient.

Oh me neither, I thought you were objecting to Crane.

It was really gross, especially immediately following his behavior towards her in the parking garage, like she owed him a relationship because he was generous enough to leave her alone when she told him to. Having been hit on by a boss, and having my rejection result in a really abusive and harmful working…

Oh, if only.

Oh come on. With his photographic memory and access to all kinds of ancient and esoteric texts in the Archives there, imagine what interesting tricks and techniques he has up his sleeve?

I haven't seen it either, I'm just relaying someone else's observations. I'd heard excellent things about it, I mean people were really nuts for it for a while there, but if it devolves into some white-guy mid-life crisis wish-fulfillment then I'll take a hard pass on it.

No kidding? Would she have herself though? She was raised a Quaker and only married into the Ross family (from which she was promptly widowed) and the Quakers in general (though not all Quakers specifically, freely admit) were pretty involved in the Abolitionist movement.

I don't think so either, that's not what I'm saying (although other people are.) What I do stand by is this: if you are deliberately cultivating an audience within a specific demographic group - and by extraction making bank off that audience's following and promoting your work *for free* - it behooves you to respect…

Goddammit.

I have my shows that I livetweet, for me anyway it depends on the show. Some lend themselves to it more than others. I find it a nice communal experience, especially because I live alone. Its nice to be able to share a virtual laugh with people (or a virtual communal outrage at some idiotic plot point or another.)

When were you named gatekeeper of how people enjoy themselves?

But I think that message can only come when there is a sample size large enough that they don't *have* to get wrapped around the axle over one character, no? Hey, I'm already predicting Sleepy Hollow is going to send me into a rage-spiral over Abbie and Ichabod, and its going to piss me off mightily even at my…

I'm a pretty diehard Ichabbie fan, from Sleepy Hollow and its so weird to me because I haven't fallen down the fandom rabbit hole since the early 90s when The X-Files was at its peak, and even *then* I had no emotional investment in Mulder and Scully as a romantic pair (Mulder/Krycek on the other hand…) but even with…

Jim Belushi definitely seemed like the more pleasant of the two, although materially less funny (probably related conditions.)

Well I'm not a 14 year old gay kid stuck in a suburban hellhole with parents who I'm afraid to tell because they'll throw me out. I'm not being facile here — that's reality for a relatively large percentage of our population here in the USA. I'm not a 16 year old lesbian watching Mississippi pass a bill saying that…

Or a teenager.

I chalk that up to producers and writers' rooms with few to no women in them. So many shows legitimately seem to be completely in the dark about how to write a believable woman and instead give us karate-chopping gunslinging action heroes and cry "Strong Female Characters!" as if that's some magical talisman against…

"Stories matter…but they don't matter *this* much."

Fanfic and fanart has always been done in honor of the fiction it references though, out of love for the world that got created, the characters in it, etc. Hollywood *finally* figured out that those people are actually building the fanbase and not diluting the work and are making use of it. Some do it better than…
