I keep seeing my friends being upset about this, but I have no idea what "this" is. Which fandom are we talking about?

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

Supernatural and Stargate Atlantis, from what I've seen lurking around. Meta about unintentionally skeevy racial/sexism issues leading to OMG! UHATEZ! TEHSHOW! flamewars.

This was also an ongoing problem during the last season of Doctor Who.

It's sad that some people really do take that as a manual for how to deal with fandom.

But Simon! I would hug him, but I feel that he would probably mock me for that. Also, where did you find good Buzzcocks icons? I haven't seen any I really like (aside from yours ^^).

miss jaffacakes on LJ does quote icons and animated icons, she's the girl to go to for Buzzcocks!

Yeah, that's where I got most of mine from. Hers are awesome. :)

I think I had a conversation with her in adayinmylife about Buzzcocks. I'll check hers out. Thanks!
