Let's just pretend it hasn't been eons since I last posted, ok?

I'm excited for the new Merlin after two weeks, but as usual, part of fandom continues to suck beyond the telling of it.

Check out this latest gem:

Their userinfo is basically a lot of whining about season 2, and a list of all the terrible things about it.

Some choice quotes:

"Remember the glorious time before season 2? Before the producers became aware that the relationship between their two leads could be interpreted as romantic and took some desperate measures? Before...

...they made Gwen the new Merlin (and a floozy)?"

First off, I am beyond tired of the bashing and slut-shaming of any female character who dares to have a love life. Secondly...who the fuck still uses "floozy"?

WHY SO MISOGYNIST, MERLIN FANDOM?

Well yeah, I really disliked the first two eps and what they did to Gwen's character, but I couldn't be arsed to join a comm just to hate on it. If the eps hadn't improved I just would have stopped watching. *shrugs* There are other fandoms.

I never did get around to reading HP Book 7. I always said I'd read it when I ran out of fanfic, hahahahahahahahaha.

I actually loved the first two eps, but YMMV. But yeah, seriously, when you reach those levels of bitter, maybe it's time to check out.

You're not missing much with book 7!
