 So, tvtropes, one of my favorite places on the internet, has been going through some befuddling and irksome changes over the past couple of months. As I've been busy and the changes haven't been too inconvenient (YMMV pages, separating tropes that YMMV on to a different page ... eh, annoying but whatever.)

But now they're talking about DELETING PAGES. (Go here and vote!) Namely THE FETISH FUEL PAGES!!!!!!
FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It upsets me greatly when ANYTHING online is deleted, especially whole pages, especially ones that bring me joy. 
Moving the 'Troper Tales' stuff to another website sounds like a good idea to me. Outright deleting all that stuff seems ... kinda drastic. What's going on? If you're offended by something you read in a Troper Tales page ... don't read something labeled 'Fetish Fuel.'

Do you have any idea how many shows/movies I've watched simply because of something I read on a Fetish Fuel page? I don't even know, I've stopped keeping track. I personally like to know what, ahem, excites other people. It's interesting to me. If I'm squicked, I move on. I don't start crying for the whole thing to be taken down because someone's fetish is disturbing to me. 

Does anyone know if saving a webpage means you really save it, so even if it's deleted it'll still be there on your desktop ... or does saving it as a 'Web Archive' mean you basically create a shortcut that will stop working once the original page is deleted? 'Cause if the Fetish Fuel pages are going, I'm SAVING as much as I possibly can in the limited free time I have. Actually, if saving something as a 'Web Archive' doesn't work, I would be willing to PAY PEOPLE MONEY to take screenshots or whatever to preserve the pages and e-mail those to me, if the Fetish Fuel pages are indeed going to be deleted, because I don't have a lot of free time right now.
Edit: saved all the pages that are relevant to my interests. Voted all I could. I'll try and do more tomorrow, right now I need to sleep.

So what if I'm a perv? At least I don't think I have the right to judge other people's fetishes.

I've been queer since I was 12. Well, no, I was gay until I was fourteen, bi since I was 14, and pan since I was 16. I've identified as genderqueer for a little less than a year.
I was wishing for girl-crushes ever since I found out what a lesbian was. (Growing up with a gay dad, my mom had boyfriends and my dad had boyfriends, so I just thought that everybody had boyfriends. So naturally it took me a little while to understand the concept of lesbians. No boyfriends? Huh ... *giggles* My childhood was strange ...) I'd just about given up on being attracted to girls ... and then SHE appeared. Now I'm happily bisexual. Hurray!

I'm used to this shit. I'm used to being told I don't exist. I'm used to being told I'm wrong and I'm bad. I was kicked out of Yeshiva, I was threatened, I was bullied.... -shrug- What can ya do?
Have I mentioned the constantly hugging you through the internet? Because that's what I'm doing. *glomps you some more*

It's the kind of bigotry that JO is exhibiting that I hate the most. The well meaning kind. The guy on the corner raving about god hating fags, I can cross the street and avoid. The nice girl who is the reason I've got a much more sizable anime collection? It's a punch in the stomach.
Yeah, that really is the worst. Everyone can agree that the crazy "GOD HATES FAGS!!1!!!111!!!!!" a-holes are awful, but it's the 'nice' people who are ok-people for the most part who upset me the most.

Because... y'know what? A big part of me wants to jump up and down and yell "Fuck you, straight people! Fuck you and your privilege, fuck you!". But I can't because I have to be good. Because no progress will be made if we all do that.
Well, not all straight people are evil. Tons of them are awesome. (Hey, I used to think I was straight.) And some homophobes ... sorry, "people who think homosexuality is unnatural but don't actually HATE gay people because that's not PC" turn out to be gay.
What's really getting me about this is that an adult intelligent woman with access to the internet thinks that homosexuality is "unnatural." I thought it was just right-wing religious idiots who thought that anymore. *headdesk*

And were I a meaner person, a fuckton of JO femslash would be breeding. Good thing I'm such an angel, eh?
I'm not gonna deny that when I read that I instantly thought (after the bile-rising, I'm-gonna-be-sick, moment, of course) to myself 'heh, you know what I want to do? Make a prompt to the kink meme about JO being a closeted lesbian and grappling with that and someone from the site helping her realize it's ok to be gay and helping her through the angst of hating herself and stuff ... no healing sex or random gayness, just realistic angst and closeted-ness and nicely handled outing and stuff ...'
Does that make me a horrible person? Maybe. I still want to ask for it, though. It's not like I'd use the fic to be mean to her, just to encompass the 'so many people who call it unnatural turn out to be gay themselves and that's actually really sad' line into story-form.
Or, you know, PWP of her and the Nostalgia Chick or something. But I like plot to channel my anger, just out-and-out porn wouldn't accomplish that. Not that I'd object to that ... f-locked, of course, don't want anyone to get upset ...
Wow, I'm a a real bitch when people upset me.

See, you're being rational. I'm sure there are plenty of straight people who don't suck. But at this moment? I don't give two fucks. I'm tired, and I'm angry, and I'm tired of having to be NICE and be reasonable, because that's how it's won. I know that. But right now, I just want to rage and scream and hurt something.

I've got an essay breeding, weirdly enough. It's about never being in the majority.
