I'm not sure what you're trying to say with that second-to-last category, there. Seems a bit judgmental for a linkblog.
Sorry, but it's our linkblog now. We can be as judgemental as we want. *shrugs* Ragnell and Kalinara made it clear we can do whatever we want. We've mostly kept faithful to what they set up, I don't consider one line of "Whhhhaaaa-" for a category to be pushing it, unless my partners in crime object.
My thought in putting that as a category was to make it clear this wasn't here because it was considered super important to fangirl info, but it was so utterly bizarre and hit so many sexist tropes I felt it had to be put there, just for curiosity. (Also since it involved the perception of women in comics, of course) And so people could be aware they were clicking on to something a little triggering/weird/nsfw.
I don't plan to do that kind of thing often, I've posted lot of articles I disagree with without going "HAI I SO DISAGREE WITH THIS GUYZ" and keeping my objections to my own blog. It's only when something is so utterly bizarre and out of what we ordinarily post I will put it in a category of "What IS this?"
And of course, my idea of bizarre is different than some people's, but I imagine people can deal with that.
Also, I like having fun with categories, as you can see from my Stupid Girl pun. I'm lame and goofy that way.
After all that defending your decision to post it, you still took it down?
Someone else did. I have no idea. I emailed about it. If Maddy and Laura think it's inappropriate, that's their decision.
My bad, guys, I took it down because I already linked to the article about Sam Keith in my May 7th post, not due to any judgement call on the appropriateness of the category Caitlin used. I didn't even notice the comments when I did so.
Mind you, I wouldn't have pulled it otherwise. Sometimes I'm a bit lazy and don't even *create* categories in my posts, and if Caitlin wants to get creative with her categories once in a while, that's a-okay with me.
Sorry for the confusion.
Oops! That's really my bad, guys, I should keep a sharper eye for links that have been posted. Just me being a space case!
I certainly never meant to imply that it wasn't your right to create whatever categories you see fit. I did always appreciate the relative neutrality with which the old regime presented most of its links, but you are of course free to reinvent this blog your own way. It seemed a change worth commenting on, however, and one would hope that you're open to reader feedback. I don't think I was particularly harsh.
I didn't mean to be harsh either. I was just explaining myself.
