*sigh* It does seem that by posting that in the con community, the person in question was seeking to maximize the number of people who would read about his alleged impression. I wonder if he got the kind of attention he was looking for.

I'm hanging out in the fringes of Stargate fandom, which is overwhelmingly slashy (at least the parts I've somehow fallen in with), and slash isn't something that interests me much. There is a huge difference between having tastes that are in the minority and feeling oppressed, and a lot of that has to do with whether or not you're inclined to see it as a battle with a right and a wrong side. Because when it's not a battle and you're not a victim, you can actually have interesting conversations with people who see the show differently than you do and discover that you all love the show and the characters and that that's a lot huger than the differences. But that would require acknowledgment that there's more than one way to see something, and that yours isn't the ultimate truth, and that's apparently beyond this guy.
