Setup: The original version of Nisay garnered some criticism.

[livejournal.com profile] darlas_mom asked: "From genocide to celebrity assfucking in ten easy steps? WTF?! How could anyone think that could possibly be okay?!"

I came back with the following:

It's lifeaffirming. The people that live there are poor but happy even though they have much less than the fabulous young lovers.

"We're a couple of rich white guys and we're just on vacation and more in touch with our humanity than ever before." Cue sunset.

Maybe they'll adopt a smiling child and learn more about love and laughter as the child is more in touch with life, nature, and What's Really Important than kids back home.

You're not asking me, but I don't think that all slash is bad. That said, I think a lot of slashers are fucked in the head when it comes to gender, and have a head full of slurs, and a heart full of privilege and janky avoidance issues, when it comes to respecting everybody especially themselves.

Is that you? Probably not. But if you're straight, white, a slasher, and a good writer, I'm not going to assume that 1) you <3 gay people and 2) are down with the brown.

I look at it the way I look at inter-ethnic/interracial dating. If it was true that every white man that made it a point to have sex with women who weren't white (or weren't bio-women) were into liberty and justice for all, this would be a way different planet.
