There's something I've wanted to ask for a really long time. It may have been covered to death elsewhere and I simply haven't seen it; if so, my apologies.
The hostility towards women and gay men and the references to women as all-consuming psychic voids who want to control him, contrasted with the sensitive depiction of female characters in CEREBUS and the meticulous, obsessively detailed focus on women's fashion and clothing and shoes and hairstyles here...is it just me, or is it really really obvious what's actually going on?
I'm asking this out of compassion and pity, not mockery. He seems to have a sharp, logical mind and be very clever -- and those are the ones who fuck themselves up the worst. If he's repressing what he really wants this completely, life must be pretty miserable for him.
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.
