I was going to go to bed at a reasonable hour, but of course I got sucked into "just making one last quick check on facebook." I, for some reason or another, went to the Addicted to Firefly application, and saw a discussion header that sounded interesting (or possibly just dramatic; I don't think I can tell the difference anymore).

I can't believe this person.

Congratulations for taking everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) out of context, and having absolutely no sense of even the slightest, vaguest, most strictest sense of humor, or opening your mind and opinion even the smidgest bit.

Why do people watch/read/listen to/etc. things they don't agree with, and then proceed to bash it completely all to pieces because "OH NOES I DO NOT UNDERSTAND SO IT MUST BE WWWRROOOONNNGGG!!1!eleven!!!"

If it weren't midnight, I might actually have gone through point by point and argue the person. But I like my time, so I won't waste it.

I'm all for men not treating women like possessions. But when women (and men) go as far as the person did in this rant, claiming everything and anything between a man and a woman is nonconsensual, it's just ridiculous. And then they go so far as to start committing libel against Joss Whedon himself in the comments, and making claims against him about his and his wife's personal lives!

I consider myself a fairly open minded person. I couldn't care less about most things people do so long as it's not completely morally heinous, although sometimes it doesn't come out like I am a nonjudgmental, unbiased person because I have a serious case of foot-in-mouth where my mouth doesn't realize what goes on in my head doesn't get translated right to other people. But I don't understand why people think taking things so radically is good.

Bah. It's all ridiculous. And here I wasn't going to post about this (or at all) for another few days, but I might as well just hit the 'post' button. Good night!
