beccaelizabethI just turned off the Doctor Who Confidential
because it started going on about 'no longer just for the boys'
I've been in fandoms where there *were* no boys
so why does it have to get so... self congratulatory about fandom having women in it?
it isn't sudden!
I don't know, have I just managed to skip all the all male fandoms?
Do they actually exist?
conventions have more males at them than I expect from online fandom.
But as actual viewers? I've watched shows that decided they had too *many* women, and kept tweaking it to try and get some boys in.
Am I defining SF more broadly than them?
*shrugs*
I turned off the tv. Because a show that seems surprised at my very existence is just not valuable to me. And a show that seems to think it did something new and shiny to get me to be there, when my DW video collection has a bookshelf to itself, well, one of us is delusional and it isn't me.
