safy-hallan farah: So, I sent Adrian Chen of Gawker an email last night

I was all like “It’s cool you’re covering TSN fandom inaccurately because ANY coverage of this fandom is awesome.” Then he responded asking how he got it wrong, and I said:

Hi Adrian,

You called it “Mark Zuckerberg fanfic,” but Zuck has little to do with it. It’s less about TSN, and more about…

No. Just no. This is not okay. An entire fandom is compromised because you just couldn’t sit back and let our mild humiliation pass. Now, it is tenfold. You haven’t proven that we are educated people and proud of who we are, because, for the most part, though educated, we aren’t proud of what we do, that’s why we hide behind sceennames and do all of our shrill, screamy fangirly ranting deep within the shadows of what most people refer to as the weird corner of the internet (tumblr and livejournal share a block with 4chan, don’tcha know), where adults caution their kids not to go. And not only did you go, ‘hey look at us freaks, please objectify us in a future article’, you drew them a fucking map.  They have keywords to search now, more fics will be locked or deleted and you should know that you are fully responsible for the collapse of fandom that will inevitably ensue. I hope you’re proud of your fandom and your accomplishments when 3/4 hates you for outing them without their consent. This isn’t cool. At all.

This is my other favorite post on Tumblr.
