FOR FUCKING SERIOUS.

it's hard to talk about this shit. it is HARD to look around and go, okay, this blows for basically everyone. it's hard to realize - like, I don't know if you remember, but green day had a concert about a year back and they called this girl onstage and she shredded her way through one of their songs, and everyone was shocked because she was a girl and didn't look like the type to be able to play well. So it's hard to look at incidents like that, which made the news and got linked all over and such, and realize what a huge hole there is in society when it comes to women in various roles. it sucks. and it sucks realizing that these people you've spent tons of time on just aren't cutting it, fail-wise.

but...we still have to talk about it. we're fandom. talking is what we DO. and we can't just constantly bag on the ladies in fandom and not even mention that, hey, calling a young female fan a cunt is a douche move.

IN CONCLUSION, I love you.
