Another Excellent Article on Toxic Fandom
Following on from some recent posts (and a recent discussion of my own), this article provides an excellent message to the gatekeeping trolls. I urge them to heed it.

So yesterday I tried to call a customer. Their landline number stated I needed to be 18 to carry on the call and that it would cost 60p per minute. Bit weird for a standard area code call, but okay. After staying on the line, I suddenly get a message telling me ‘Stay on the […]
I’m astonished to think that this particular gem of a show is 25! It was, at the time, very unusual for Disney. It wasn’t the cutesy, cuddly stuff we’d come to expect. This show was gritty. Characters would display flaws. Actions would have consequences. There was a little more ambiguity over whether the bad guys […]
With the Brexit shambles rumbling on (Boris Johnson, previously determined to ram Brexit down our throats, whatever the consequence, by October 31st, has been forced to ask the EU for an extension of the deadline), the chance of a December General Election is suddenly on the horizon. Whilst Brexit will be at the forefront of […]
I have to confess, I don’t recall the first movie especially clearly, but it was, from what I do recall, quite entertaining. The sequel is certainly entertaining! So, a brief overview. The characters from the first film seek to set down roots but to some degree, some of them are restless. There’s new types of […]
This is it. The grand finale to the sequel trilogy is almost upon us. In true geekdom fashion, my wife and I already have tickets booked and now all we can do is wait. The Rise of Skywalker… What can we expect? It goes without saying that there will possibly be spoilers (and those who […]

Liars like Doomcock, for example, who, among others, has pushed Abdins into a lawsuit that could ruin him financially, despite having already lost one such suit. There […]

I’ve put (wasted?) a fair bit of energy into challenging the angry, arrogant elements of the Star Trek fandom who are determined to create an ‘us versus them’ environment. The gatekeepers who insist they and they alone are true fans, because they somehow know better than anyone else what Star Trek is, are truly infuriating. […]
So we have a deal! Whether it’s a good deal remains to be seen, though personally I maintain the best deal we could hope for is the one we already have, and anything else will be a poor second-best in comparison. However, we don’t actually have a deal yet, for Parliament needs to vote on […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
