I had no idea that my seme/uke musing would create such a big stir, so I deleted the entry and would like to make a formal apology for arousing everyone's ire. :(
I hope everything didn't blow up too badly. I mostly stayed away from the entry when it first came up, because the topic's not my cup of tea, but I can still see why others would be interested in talking about it. Deleting the entry probably was a better idea then keeping it up; no reason to keep the argument alive and accessible.
*twists the knife in the wound and proceeds to stand over it with a salt shaker at the ready**
I'm more pipped about your deleting the entry than posting it. There was interesting discussion going on! People were possibly getting food for thought and evolving their thinking (I hope)! I wanted to see how it would have evolved since I last read!
Ack, I do not like it when fandom folks think turmoil is bad - it may not be nice, but it doesn't mean everybody hates each other, or the person who originated it. People are bound to clash on the Internet just as well as IRL, it's 100% unavoidable, and there's nothing wrong with it - and usually it blows over pretty fast, and nobody is left with hard feelings. At its best, it can clear the atmosphere and even improve the comm.
Don't think I have anything specifically against *you* though. Or anyone else, actually, for that matter. That's not the case. And hey, I do have an inkling as to how you're feeling - it wasn't that long ago when I unwittingly caused turmoil in another fandom. I thought the use of (excessive) violence as a comedy tool was a good idea for discussion - not so, apparently! Hey, at least no-one called you a troll! XD (Or said "GTFO" and other nasty things. I'm glad I'm not an emotional type of person.)
*I accidentally knocked my salt shaker to the floor IRL right after writing this. Rather amused me.
So... am I the only person here who not only completely missed it but has no idea what the hell it means? I'm assuming it's related to anime in some way?
I'm sorry you felt dog-piled. However, in the future please don't delete your posts; if you really want them gone you can ask the mods and we'll consider it, but deleting for the most part only causes confusion. I was keeping an eye on the post to make sure no one resorted to name calling or outright rudeness, but now that it's deleted I can't take another look and make sure.
