I loath when anglophone writers* assume their language/culture is universal somehow.
Dawn is named the same by every alien race? Have you f~ing see how many different words for the concept exist in all across human languages**? Or even how it evolved in English? Apparently: NO.
So so incredibly STUPID!
* It happens with non-anglophone people too... but they can't go as easily without interacting with anybody outside of their language/culture bubble so generally learn their lesson when they get laughed out of the room. ** EDIT: For starters https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/dawn
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.
