I don't know if I'm more appalled that the Reylo drama has reached the point of being covered by the Atlantic, or relieved that they did such a nice job.
An anon on Tumblr asked:
What are your thoughts on the situation where shippers are accused of being racist for not shipping Rey and Finn? Personally I'd ship Finn with both Poe and Rey and I'd be happy if either was canon. But how can it be racist to ship a mixed race same same couple? That doesn't even make any sense. Either couple would be groundbreaking and both are clearly healthy ships between friends. What's to hate about either of them? Is this just another symptom of a crazy ship war? Or something more?
My response:
Just another symptom, though of something bigger than any one fandom.

Whoops, radio silence
Dec. 20th, 2015 12:39 am I've been on Tumblr (still hideously addictive, despite working even less well than usual), but not doing much ... productive isn't really the word I want to use for "how I spend my free time on the Internet," so, um--not doing much substantive. Finals and then Christmas!
