Still trying to keep my head up in classes. Still haven't gotten that Deviantart situation ironed out yet. Got a little time today to make some changes, but I suppose I'll be busy again soon.

Whatever new account I get on Deviantart: I will try not to mention the wikia on it, and won't mention the name of that account here. It's bad enough that a few stalkerfolk apparently know of this place, and I blame myself for being excited and pimping it in the height of my Hetalia...fannishness? Blechh.

In a funny story the other day: Some little fanbrat troll decided to comment on a much-older comment I made on someone's deviation and was all "YOU KNOW WHAT? SHUT UP" because I dared denounce female character-bashing in this one fandom I had been part of in the past. Said fan was some underager with cruddy traced-over OCs and South Park create-a-character screencaps. Heavens forbid that people get tired of some fans bashing any and all female characters for the whole "het=ewww" mentality that seems to permeate some fandoms. Female-oriented slash seems to be thought of as a "gross" thing too in the fandoms where the male characters are more commonly-liked. I don't see what is wrong with variety when it comes to character dynamics or relationships. It doesn't all have to be gratuitous slash or sex to keep things "interesting". And it's sad when fanfiction gets passed over for lack of "sex scenes" or not enough slash. This applies to quite a few fandoms.

I was relieved that Hetalia fandom seemed to not exactly be "perfect", but be lacking in some problems I had with others. I don't blame Hetalia getting "popular" for those problems increasing. It still has a way to go in the popularity thing. I think though, that these problems were there and have just become more obvious because of some fantwits and it becoming a little more widespread on the net. Shipwars are one of these problems that have increased. Man, do I really hate shipwars.
