As I've noted many times, I view fandom and geeky activities as being roughly (and for some, inseparably) divided into two basic motivations: to have fun, or to fulfill career/life ambitions. This is, of course, an extremely simplistic reduction, doubtlessly limited, but hey, it's a Frustration Friday, and I'm gonna rant.
What am I ranting about? I'm ranting about the fact that fannish, geeky, otaku activities bogged down in wank (pointless and dramatic arguing that is a tad too personal, if you're not familiar with the use of the word). I find some of the arguments, battles, fan wars, and so forth stupid and nonproductive.
