I think it's the treatment of this as an "imbroglio" that has me...something [ETA: Not because I think it is less serious or less offensive than other such events treated like that, but because the form of the discussion just doesn't look the same to me, as in the other instances where the people involved in the discussion are actually disagreeing or coming from different angles. /ETA], because as far as I can tell, there's nobody who's part of the discussion who's disagreeing that this is horrible (nor am I!) I'm all for ripping the project apart as it deserves and obviously people should talk about whatever they want, regardless of who's already said it, but when fandom adopts it as wank, posts about any other aspect other than how horrible it is (which 40 people have said already!) get labeled as "derailing." So the adoption of it as an "imbroglio" and the accompanying attempts to police the discussion about it and limit discussion to just how horrible it is (which, in this case, pretty much everyone agrees with) makes me rudely snarky. I don't actually think that 40 more people shouldn't write posts about how horrible it is, if they want to for any reason!
