alias_sqbr

Some examples are just not worth anyone bookmarking- one sentence, buried in a lengthy thread on some other topic.

The good thing about the rant alias_sqbr linked to is that it wasn't deleted (unfortunately, all the replies from wonderful fen pointing out how offensive it was were deleted). Often times, the entire post is deleted/locked, so that we can't point back to it and say, see, this happens (Example, someone involved with slash fics made a homophobic post, and when confronted about that, locked the post. The only proof it happened is that someone else wrote about it (http://mawaridi.livejournal.com/507339.html) in their own lj.)

Sometimes entire journals are deleted, because the fan is tired of the wank and disrespect of their identity. Usually this is a man or transman who presents in ways that others read as too feminine are accused of "really being women" who deliberately trying to deceive fandom. There's a post in response to this here (http://pauraque.livejournal.com/239554.html).
