Oh hello wank

Big-time SPN fandom racefail happening, and it is some bad shit. I mean, I'm not the most racially sensitive person out there (having lived in a veritable sea of whiteness my whole life), but this absolutely repulses me.

Some of the worst bits have been compiled here. I definitely recommend this post and its comments. Pretty much a primer of what NOT do to.

My favorite comment on that? I'm sorry, I had no idea that Joseph Conrad was writing a Big Bang this year! Good to know.

I feel a little bit sorry for her actually. I mean from what I've read from the comments she seemes to have pleased people in the past with her fic and just epically failed with this one. I'm sure her intentions weren't bad but she posted something that isn't sensitve or what people respect and now she has to deal with the wrath. It must be hurtful to spend all that time writing something only to have people be like "This is awful" I'm not saying it ISN'T awful just that if I were the author and wrote this and then that was the reaction I woudl break down crying and probably delete all my stuff. It makes me feel sorry for her.

I do think some of the comments were down right assholish though. Like one girl who kept making racist comments about white people and then saying it isnt racist because you can't be racist against whites. Ummm okay? :-P
