I do think people are judging Eli rather harshly though *jumps into flameproof suit, paints a spot on my chest, prepares for my name to be drag through anon meme comms* in the sense that Billy and co (with the exception of Tommy) are just running headlong into trouble, not really thinking about the bigger picture (Magento?

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.
Hmmm
