Re: general RPF fandom discussion
From: (Anonymous)I do think if one has the energy to do a little educating on a particular day when such a thread comes up, that it's good to get the radical idea that women, people of color, LGBT people, etc., are y'know, people out there.
I've done it a little bit in some of the Kane threads, and have wound up with mostly positive karma. I think there are guys out there who are on the side of good and it helps to provide them with some info on how not to be a dick. I also think that the more women make themselves visible there, the more the general tenor of the discussion will stick to hockey in non-douche-bro-ey ways.
But I don't think everyone needs to or should all the time. If you aren't up to it, you aren't up to it, and we aren't obligated to educate or civilize them. I just like to do what I can, when I have the strength, to make hockey places online places that I want to be, because I am pretty obsessed with talking about hockey.
Re: general RPF fandom discussion
From: (Anonymous)I also said that I argue, and IA that seeing other people do it feels good and provides a sense of not being alone/in an insane land. I've also jumped in before when dudes were mansplaining to side with a woman/queer woman, because I didn't want them to think everyone thought like the people telling them how they should feel about things. Solidarity is nice sometimes, although, yeah, sometimes I am not up for arguing.
Re: general RPF fandom discussion
From: (Anonymous)Yes! I have also leant support to other women, and I think that is very important. And also to guys who are saying good stuff. Showing that the neanderthal attitude is not the only way is important for a lot of people, and I'm always here for other women who seem like they need backup.
The ice girl thread was an interesting one to me. I made a few measured comments in there and encountered a lot of men who were on the side of "who cares? I don't go to the hockey for tits," and some who were truly put-off by ice girls. Most of my posts in that thread wound up positive, so I view that as a win.
