Well, I think to some extent perception of these issues does depend on how you're treated - so even if you strongly identify with women, if aren't perceived as one, you're not usually treated as one, and if you don't identify as a woman (rather than with women) then I don't think the messages are internalised the same way, you know? It's just so rare to see women who are the badass stars who swallow their pain and are stoic - I would have loved Firefly that much more if Zoe had been the main character.
Well, let's say "tries to behave in a feminist way", and tries to produce work that conforms to his ideals.
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.
