This guy sitting by a single computer in the lab with his girlfriend, it seems like, checking out livejournal & chatting about the size of his friends list (....)-- oh man, it kind of freaks me out ^^;;; Heh.
...I mean, partly it's the coupley thing and partly the omg-lj-in-the-real-world thing, but partly it's the whole 'easily sharing a computer with another person' thing. Not just when you -have- to, either, but enjoying it. Like, you can watch a TV together because you're -watching-, not participating, not typing, etc. But this is much more more like sharing a single handheld game or a typewriter-- kinda. o_0 I mean, I realize I'm the weird one here, but. Possibly this is just a level of geeky possessiveness (...) most people don't reach--? Yes, my computer is MINE MINE MINE MINE!!1 (...mine.) I also feel like this about my books. Anything else, go ahead and take, ahahah. -.-

I remember not really checking
scans_daily much because well, sexualizing comics isn't my thing, quite, but at the same time there were too many 'mainstream' posts somehow. This sort of gives me a different perspective on the whole 'fandom as female space' vision of things.
Actually, I consider my own attitude to the community an interesting aside, because in some ways you could say I "don't like slash" because I tend to be so picky about who I want to see slashed and how, etc, and I also don't get off on superhero types in suits and their manly needs or whatever. Though I do have plenty of pervy moments where it's like 'snog already' (your average fighting game being one example-- show me two guys fighting and I'm like SEX! SEX! SEX! possibly moreso than if they're hugging... but that's neither here nor there, except perhaps I haven't seen enough comicbook villain/hero slash-- but still, the muscles... eh). Anyway, you could say that I'm still not the target audience of scans_daily, whatever the case.
On the other hand, I'm female, in fandom in large part because I feel two cocks are better than one, like romance with non-stereotypical power-balances or sex-roles, and am naturally drawn towards stories about boys' relationships, platonic or not. So in a real enough sense I'm a typical slasher fangirl.
