And don't you just love unfounded, and unexplainable fears.
I think what finally got me slightly annoyed wasn't even the anti-yaoi feeling that was so apparent (used to it) but it was the implication that yaoi lovers only love FMA for the yaoi, which is one of my MAJOR peeves.
But not going into that, 'cos I'll get slightly annoyed, and I have promised myself that I'm not going to get involved. Though it does make for an interesting read.
And that's the bottom line, if people can't EVEN stand the mere thought or even mention of yaoi, or slash... well, that's a problem, and really I suppose opening a ljcomm strictly for onself is fine. Though, it's rather offensive to say that the present FMA comm is only a yaoi comm (I don't care if not one actually came out and said it, but it's pretty obvious, and of course the small fandom segeration is just going to get larger, and larger, and flame wars are waiting around the corner.
Mind you, nothing can get bigger, or wank-ier than the HP fandom.

And with that I shall go off to my lecture.
