This whole fandom deal is a sign of a much larger problem. It requires a mass movement of all internet citizens against encroaching money men and right wing agendas. I don't see that happening.
The most disturbing and deluded argument I hear from all of this is, "A pay service is not required to give it's customers the right to free speech or hold free assembly."
Really? Since when in our free world has money trumped free rights officially? It hasn't. Pay services just want to make us believe that they do so that no one will complain when they really disappear.
