I'm sorry. We can't help you. You're clearly too stupid to live.

Okay, so this my new favorite thing, brought to us by [livejournal.com profile] ogi_ogas of SurveyFail here:

Well, slash is kind of the female equivalent of the straight male interest in transsexuals.

What is this, I don't even.

Oh, and I get a bullshit answer from him before anybody else in that thread got their bullshit answers from him. Do I win a prize?

One thing I keep thinking when reading about the survey thing is that it is so clear that they are outsiders. Not (only) because of the way that they asked the questions and their misconceptions of what fandom is, but because they seems so surprised by the reaction they've got form fandom. They really had no idea how easy fandom can turn against an outsider when protecting oneself. How smart and argumentative and protective the people in fandom are. They've stepped into something that they clearly have no idea on how to handle.
