I rarely comment in things about fandom, because even if I like reading about it, i'm pretty ignorant abour a lot of things so I prefer to read a lot much first before writing anything but... this:
"But I am much less constrained in terms of writing politics. I can say things to the broader society about the issues of the day, about war and peace, about race and sex, that I could never say in fandom without starting firestorms of wank."
what? does fandom point a gun at her if she writes something about these themes? :/ or is she so afraid of getting flame comments? i don't understand at all.
Also, I'm latinoamerican, female, atheist and living a VERY RURAL area. I guess i'm not a part of fandom then :/
