I actually agree with Prowl a lot (pls don't ask me to elaborate, it's almost Christmas and I'm buried under a veritable avalanche of work and I can't possibly spend a whole day writing a furious essay about it, plus I'd get in fights with Prowl bashers and that's bad for my blood pressure). But especially in this particular instance, I did end up despising the neutrals.
The Autobots fought so hard for so long and sacrificed themselves so much, facing horrors that rival the Third Reich, for the purpose of preventing genocides and slavery. And the Decepticons, as horrifically evil as they became, at least had the burning shreds of something that once upon a time had been a very valid and noble motive.
Meanwhile the neutrals are like Obama's Car In A Ditch analogy. They refuse to do any work yet they victim-blame the people who actually did for not doing a good enough job. They take and take and take and never give anything back but a spit to the face. They won't lift a finger but never stop complaining. They never take any responsibility ever, but call dibs on the goods the second other people's struggles and sacrifices bears fruit. And the *ONE* time they took up arms, it was to declare the Autobots as bad as the Decepticons and banish them from the very city that the Autobots had salvaged.
When STARSCREAM has a better grasp on personal responsibility and work ethics than you do, that's gotta be Primus' way of telling you to go feed the scraplets.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
