Ace Goggles and Other Things
Dec. 21st, 2010 12:35 amIn my last post, I forgot to mention the entire reason I was thinking about things that make me happy: DADT was repealed, yay.
And by ‘yay,’ I meant ‘my country sucks slightly less today than it did yesterday.’
... Occasionally, talking about politics with other Americans feels like talking about fandom with other Austenfen. I’ll start to say ‘well, you know, they’ve tried it in Canada/Belgium/Argentina/etc--’ and inevitably get blank stares and/or WHAT IS THIS PLACE OF WHICH YOU SPEAK, AND WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THEIR HEATHEN WAYS??
Only for civil rights instead of the merits of rec lists.
Also, on a largely unrelated note, I have no right whatsoever to object to arbitrarily ignoring/changing characters’ canon sexuality. Well, I do, but it’s massively hypocritical.
( ambivalent Elizabeth is ambivalent, but has footnotes. )
