It is really hard not to post big wanky capslock rants about the OTW drama.
I like OTW.
I would give them money if I had it. As is, I am planning to benefit, leech-like, from their hard work.
And - the thing I love best about fandom is how I get to feel perfectly normal for having two x chromosomes and liking spaceships at the same time. I'm not an exception. I'm not part of a freaky minority. I am pretty much like everyone else. I'm not expected to measure my behavior to the standards of male nerds, even. And I don't get harassed.
Nerdy girls, I think you all know what I'm talking about. It's nice not to be strange, or tolerated as an exception. And it's really damn nice not to have to dance for the approval of geekboys. If someone is female and perfectly happy on 4chan, I mean, more power to them, but that's not me.
Female-centered does not mean male-hostile, ad infinitum, headdesk headdesk headdesk. And with that, I stop clicking on discussion links about OTW, unless they're from OTW.
