diaf, ATL
I know a lot of people were horrified at the oblivious teenies in the ICH comments, but man, OF COURSE there were going to be oblivious teenies. For all that the ICH commenting population has changed over the past couple years, that is still a community full of teenage girls, and no one can deny the existence of misogyny like teenage girls can deny the existence of misogyny. I can't even blame them that much. The more you can convince yourself that men don't hate women, the less horrible you'll have to feel about it.
The truth is, I'm just thrilled by how seriously smacked down they were. I love the ICH mods like nothing in this world, and I love everyone who commented in that post, and I ADORE every teenie who commented to be like "um jsyk gaskarth you should probably kill yourself~". HEARTS HEARTS HEARTS. There aren't that many places on the internet that aren't explicitly marked as feminist that would still have a conversation like that.
(Context is for people who don't stalk the shit out of Pete Wentz)
anyway, ATL are still assholes who make bad music.
