I went there.
I read.
I laughed.
I'm still laughing.
Oh, it wasn't poison gas, but laughing gas?!

Rant incoming. Please skip if you don't want to read me ranting about a certain subset of fandom.
Yeah, nah! I treasure my brain cells too much to expose them to whatever is passing for analysis/discourse in that thread. There's interpretation and then there is "let's see how much I can twist these things to fit into my narrative". The dishonesty and the blatant lack of critical thinking surrounding the Shen Nong Resistance Army topic that I've seen in the last few days and I'm out of patience. Last year it was Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence that was the weapon of choice. I shouldn't be surprised and yet, I am, at how low some people are willing to go to win some ridiculous shipping war.
Rant over.
Thank you for letting me vent :-).
Venting is better than keeping things pent up ... to explode suddenly.
The Shen Nong Resistance Army topic was a complete surprise ... that came out of weibo. But that certainly didn't stop some people from jumping on it with the usual lack of understanding. Hopefully, we won't see more of that nonsense. We've got our usual nonsense to deal with now. :)
