SHOCK: TINTIN FANDOM STILL FULL OF HOMOPHOBES.

In other astounding developments, someone tries to explain it away as not really homophobia! Also, and folks this is completely unprecedented, kindkit gets angry!

For further insight into the mild-mannered Kit's startling descent into anger, see our previous article here (link goes to the LJ post because there's info in the comments about a Deviant Art community banning Tintin slash).



I have really, really, really got to stop (again) reading fandomsecrets. The proportion of anger to hilarity (or empathy, or interest) is all wrong.

I've basically decided to stay away from the Tintin fandom except for explicitly slash-friendly or slash-focused groups. So I'm a member of the Tintin slash community on LJ and I subscribe to two slash-friendly Tintin comms on Deviant Art, and that's it. In the rest of the fandom there's just too much homophobia, and the homophobes refuse to even recognize that they're being homophobic, and I just don't have the energy.

Yeah you had the right decision. In slash groups you know you´ll never see unpleasant words. Unless someone anti-slash could enter there...
