From a comment on the page this came from: "Altough this quote talks about artists, I can relate it to any kind of work. Teachers, scientists, astronauts, journalists, if you discourage someone of doing what this person loves to do, we might be missing out someone who would do amazing things to his/her field"
Of course, its noted that artists in particular need encouragement because they're more often discouraged than other 'legit' professions, but still.
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.
