I feel like I want to tell the people who are posting on this where this started, and in fact, a Lana fan very recently incited the vicious harassment of another fan based on her questioning how the writers/producers have dealt with Lana's ancestry. In a discussion about CHLOE'S ancestry. If people are on the defensive, there's a reason.
But even addressing them means you get to have your words picked apart and potentially get called a cocksucker or a cunt. I'm not particularly interested in "intellectual" discussion that involve this kind of behavior. So I completely agree that we could discuss this without hurling insults and making well written veiled attacks at other people.
I didn't know that's where it all started. Thanks for enlightening me!
However, I think this has all reached a point that's beyond ridiculous. We live in a world that's facing some well-nigh *dire* problems, and here we are playing the "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" game with a character from a freakin' TV show.
Some people need to, IMHO, stop acting like such insufferably self-righteous psuedo-intellectuals and get a life.
