This echoed any number of thoughts which weren't even close to fully-formed in my mind, and laid them out in a way any *reasonable* person can understand.
It's *not* easy. There *aren't* simple solutions -- but pretending that everything is fine and that fandom is just a larger, more inclusive version of what it was in the '60s and '70s is the height of *dangerous* self-delusion.
I'm so sorry you've been attacked for shining a light on all of this. You deserve far better -- and, ultimately, so does fandom.
