You know how people refuse to see logic or the other side of the coin, or how sometimes common courtesy and decency doesn't even occur to them? Sometimes I find that interesting, in a detached, 'what makes this person like that, that they can ignore the world around them' type of way. There's a truly awful lack of empathy and compassion that I can't even get my head around.

lcsbanana, and I'm linking to that because it's a good introduction, I find, to those who aren't sure of what's going on. The complete lack of sensitivity that she quotes from actual members of fandom, from people I've seen on my friends' flist, is...astounding. I found nothing in the post triggery, but she does link to impertinence's brilliant and painful post, which comes with these warnings: "Warning: Very explicit discussion of sexual assault and the nature, anatomy, cause & effect of triggers. Is itself triggery." It's a powerful post. Both of them are (in different ways), and I truly can't understand how this even needs to be discussed. Warnings are necessary, whether they are appreciated or not.
Unrelated, but still sad: apparently Perez Hilton is a giant douchebag. Personally I'm shocked, because he always seemed like such a nice guy when he was forcing celebrities out of the closet and verbally attacking 16 year old girls. Also, when he was recently seen being a enormous hypocrite by telling someone, "You're not a fucking artist; you're a fucking faggot." Also, when he was a hypocrite by calling someone fugly, because heeeeellllllooooo.
