There's a really funny kerfuffle.

Basically, [livejournal.com profile] annakovsky made a totally innocuous post about why she couldn't get into Veronica Mars. Cut-tagged and everything, so as not to offend VM fans. (here)

So then [livejournal.com profile] jennyo (that nut who's always ranting about how anyone who likes Spike and/or dislikes Buffy is a misogynist, and how anyone who doesn't adore Lilah is a misogynist, and how slash fans all all misogynists, and how *lick*ing someone online objectifies gay people... you get the idea) responded to [livejournal.com profile] annakovsky's post with yet another nutty rant about how her interpretation of Veronica Mars is proof of underlying (you guessed it!) misogyny on [livejournal.com profile] annakovsky's part (and on the part of anyone who dislikes the character Veronica and/or likes the character Logan). (here)

So then [livejournal.com profile] annakovsky got pissed off in response, and started a (IMO deserved) [livejournal.com profile] jennyo bashing thread. (here)

And it ended up on fandom_wank (here)

And all these people are taking sides and ranting about the inherent sexism of anyone who doesn't like their favorite TV characters.

As a Spike fan... well, you know the drill. (You self-hating misogynist!)

Anyway, sorry you've been so busy! It's good to see you online.

Want to do something this weekend? I'd like to have you over for a DVD night sometime... I've got the new couch and the apartment cleaned and everything. :) Let me know.
