Thank you for posting this.
The author seems to be a bit of a know-it-all, everything has to be her way or the highway. She preferred the Nine Worlds convention because the badges could list an individual’s preferred gender pronoun. At Worldcon, when she started a public discussion about racism or rape culture she had to field noisy interruptions from her peers.
I have very much enjoyed reading fanfiction these past few years. It has been an oasis for me. I don’t enjoy any current TV shows, and the movies and modern fiction books I enjoy are few and far between. Fanfiction is great for me, because there is no politics, no forcing the liberal point of view down my throat.
If I was happily involved in my fandom, and a know-it-all starting forcing “conversations” about gender identity and racism and rape culture, I would be very angry indeed. I would be one of the people noisily trying to get the conversation back to the fandom.
Look up a blog called “According to Hoyt” on Wordpress. It’s by Sarah Hoyt, a great gal and a fun author. Also quite Conservative, although with some particularities that make her even more interesting.
Fan Fic is good, but there are a lot of great Indie Publishers out there as well, and she always has the latest on their fun filled antics.
And, of course, if you haven’t already, look for the Baen label. Always good books, no PC crap, and fun!
