I bring this up at every opportunity during December: the original Saint Nicholas was actually known to be a huge, muscly olive-skinned man who didn't take shit from no-one and had his nose broken during a fight and was reputed to have punched a Bishop.
Batman vs. the media-produced Santa? No contest. Batman vs. St. Nicholas...that's a more interesting fight.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
