I don't dislike Lafayette, something about him just rubs me the wrong way... maybe its the drug dealer angle (it seems too much of a stereotype in the other direction)... i agree that while he is effeminate (and it doesnt matter with me one way or the other) he does kick ass. ( i also wanted to hug him after he was kidnapped by Erik.... im kinda shipping them two...:)
Personally i loved will and Grace. mainly because i knew a Jack Mcfarland, and loved how he and Megan Mullalay played off eachother... Will was too bland in my opinion. i mainly say this because, well there are real flamers out there (very much like jack, and my friend) and to say that they do not deserve repesentation is not fair (now should thye be the ONLY representation? no.) but to each his own
yeah i hated the deaths of Tara and Ianto, but thier deaths had the impact that was needed. they did what they were sent out to do, make us feel the depths of loss and in both cases, these characters were the "Center" of the group, after their deaths the center couldn't hold.
not touching Freedom Ring, I am past it in that i sincerely believe the Author apologizes for his... short sighted ness. it does not make what happened any better, but as the lady of Avalon would say "whats done is done" (they could have however brought him back, and possibly still could.. i mean a piece of the cosmic cube SCREAMS loophole.....)
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.
