When I Became a Mom I Put Away Childish Things | Geek Feminism Blog

  • And even as a convergence culture encourages and invited media property holders to create and engage fans, such behavior remains generally perceived as ridiculous, embarrassing, and often hidden–unless it revolves around more masculine exploits such as sports teams, of course. Fantasy football and wearing team colors are acceptable behaviors where fanfic and wearing Hogwarts uniforms are not.
  • Not only are traditionally female fan objects and fan engagements devalued, the very gender identity of the fan thus becomes problematic: reading done in private by women is a selfish and time-wasting activity, and fannish investment is a selfish and time-wasting squandering of emotion. Mothers, however, are meant to focus their activities and emotions on one target only: their family.

Down the Slippery Slope - The Crime of Viewing Manga

Graphic artists condemn plans to ban erotic comics - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

  • This week Parliament will discuss a new Bill which will make it a criminal
    offence to possess cartoons depicting certain forms of child abuse. If the
    Coroners and Justice Bill remains unaltered it will make it illegal to own
    any picture of children participating in sexual activities, or present
    whilst sexual activity took place.



    The Ministry of Justice claims that the Bill is needed to clamp down on the
    growing quantity of hardcore paedophilic cartoon porn available on the
    internet, particularly from Japan. But critics of the legislation say the
    current definitions are so sweeping that it risks stifling mainstream
    artistic expression as well as turning thousands of law abiding comic book
    fans into potential sex offenders.
