Bingo! RaceFail, LGBTQFail & Misogyny all in one small act of fannish cluelessness

[rm]

A few clueless slashers fetishize real queer people while throwing in fun sides of racism and misogyny:

I know, and sadly those are frequently the loudest and the thing that gets the most attention. It's sad, too, because I've found this fandom is really full of love and lovely people. But I know when someone says "the water's great, come on in!" I'm unlikely to listen if I've just seen someone pee in the pool, so I getcha.

Don't get me wrong, from the moment that I heard Eric was coming in as a bad guy and once I got over the giggles at his elf ears, I was stoked to see this and then I got overtaken by the welsh teaboy and all the lovely accessories that came with him and forgot about ST.

Maybe once I get unboggled by everything, I'll come check out the fandom.

Hahah! See, I got it the other way around, it's like NuTrek satisfied all my desires for cocky omnisexual blue-eyed captains so I didn't have quite as much time for Torchwood anymore.
