Fandom is just determined to annoy me this week.

It is entirely possible to respect a person's right to their opinion and not respect a particular opinion. It's also possible to disagree with another person's opinion and still respect the person.

It is nearly impossible to respect a person whose opinion includes the view that anyone who disagrees with their opinion deserves no respect, and furthermore, because their views differ, are morally bankrupt, ethically void, and possibly the root of all evil.

And seriously? People who write (or read) incest are no more likely to be advocating for it in real life than people who write (or read) h/c kidfic are advocating for child abuse.

I ran across that ridiculousness via a link from someone else on my flist. They had quite a lovely rant on the subject, if you're interested. Although by this point, you probably don't want to read any more on it. :-) People are so stupid. So apparently, a fondness for, say, post-apocalyptic stories means you want to destroy the world? Goodness.

I did read fandom_me's post. She covered a lot more ground than I did.

And yes, I want to destroy the world. How did you ever discover my closely held secret. I have got to get better minion.
