(no subject)

Once upon a time, I had a point to make about how it's really kind of jarring to be all "yay! fic!" and two paragraphs in go "D: D: D:" because in that space of time you find one of your favorite characters (and, more cringingly, a girl-character when the fic is purportedly slash) getting bashed in that more-subtle skewing-the-character sort of way. And then I would've gone on to say WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN and maybe cry a little, even though I think this is an argument that will never go away as long as fandom -- no, as long as people -- exist.

And then maybe I'd cry a little over the fact that apparently I'm writing explicit femmeslash for the first time and it's ... a genderswitched couple. WHAT. WHAT WHAT WHAT. Dear self, there's something possibly not-okay with how your brain works. :(

But instead, I just want to say that apparently Bruce Lee was an alumni of my school.

Bruce Lee!

(Does this make Jackie Chan Blue Five, I wonder?)

Well.

Don't I feel like a jackass right now. :\

In short, I said a few things that I ... cannot in all good conscience take back because I do believe strongly in them, but I regret that that I was clumsy enough to make it sound really bad. I can't and won't take back the gist of what I said, but I think, in retrospect, I handled it badly and probably spoke too plainly about the whole thing. Which ... is something I should definitely try to work on.

I try to be a nice person, but I also try to be an honest one, which seems to translate to "blunt" and that seems to be what gets me into trouble. Hahahaha ... um. Damnit. .___.

If you're reading this? I am sorry for hurting your feelings. :\
