i hate bandom.

phaballa made a post about how bandom guys being gay with each other onstage is as offensive as blackface, and a buncha people commented, i'm sure you've all seen it.

and now bandom's oppressed by fandom at large, and if being gay onstage is exploitative then so is slashfic, and the fundamental point of all RPS is seperating the person from the role so if you hate fallout boy's music but still fan them b/c they gay all over each other that's totally the same thing, and OH GOD MAKE IT STOP.

i just can't STAND it. and to be honest with you, it's not the music. i've heard maybe six songs by the aforementioned bands and one is sort of okay and the others, eh, whatever. and do i care that they french each other on stage? no. i could give a flying fuck. let 'em! but sweet god in heaven, their fans are going to drive me insane. maybe there are two or three people in bandom who are reasonable and like the music (pete wentz's mom?), and i'm sure those three people are about five seconds away from a homicidal rampage right now, because believe me, i know their pain.

after all, i am in supernatural fandom.

oh they are. MCR less so (I know far too much about this for reasons of my own. I am a sponge) but there was an article floating about a while ago basically all about FOB/Panic's marketing techniques and such. it was really interesting and I really wanted to wave it around going "they ARE boybands!". so, hum, yes.

THEY HAVE GUNS AND THEY HAVE ANGST AND THEY HAVE SNARK AND BROTHERS AND WINCHESTERS RULE ALL. FACT.

trufax, baby. trufax.

of course they're boy bands. is that news? i thought we all acknowledged that.

[karaadora.livejournal.com]

oh I've always acknowledged that, but it was nice to have proof with strategies and stuff coming from their own camp. I wish I could find that article now, but I daren't google it, who knows what I might find?
