Maybe it's being British and probably a little older than many on the comm, but I can't quite view the past like that, and despair of a world that could.
A couple things: 1) The US doesn't have (for want of a better phrase) many physical scars from WWII-- our country never got bombed so there aren't areas where people in living memory can tell you how they had to rebuild the entire block; 2) American media really, really loves WWII (both in movies and games), perhaps because it was our last "good war" (without all the moral ambiguity and sense that 'we lost' of Vietnam).
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.
