I totally did not have the patience to click all of the links. And I have never watched True Blood, so I have no idea who that it. And there is a person by that name in the show Buffy was on, so that is just super-confusing.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Totally.
And I virtually never click links while I'm reading an article. At best I'll open them in other tabs to come back to. So while I hate to pile on a site I really like, a piece that depends on people going away to read the embedded links and coming back to finish the paragraph hits a lot of my hot buttons.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Consuela, over in Bitches, I talked about my moron stepbrother and that drug-test thing. It would suck if I didn't have to look at pictures of his ugly kids anymore. I don't know why that is such a big hot-button, but it is. So is libertarian males saying their female friends should be free to be prostitutes. Most other things, I scroll by.

Because books.
Yeah, it may be considered old school now, but I expect to be able to understand the whole piece by reading just the text on the current page. I'm like brenda -- I may open links later, but not in the middle of the article I'm reading now.

I like the site too! I was just really missing something. I thought for a second they were comparing different ways women could be strong- from Buffy (physical strength) to Tara (from Buffy), who had a very strong emotional backbone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Absolutely. If you can't maintain your message on one screen in your own words, you're doing a poor job. Hypertext should be an enhancement, not a requirement.
Still confused by the nonwhite thing. And I didn't check the comments to see if anyone corrected her fundamental comics error--it's kind of annoying to have someone get on the Batgirl outrage wagon when they clearly are not in the fandom, nor can be bothered to do basic fact-checking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, that's super-sloppy. I mean, come on.

There was only one comment there when I opened it. Praising the author, in fact.

This is the sort of thing that promotes an SJ backlash.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
hey ita !, don't think I don't see you retconning your tagline. (Not "tagine," which I typed the first time. Must be lunch time.)
