Well, I think they cover several fandoms, including anime, sci-fi.
internet, whatever. Some of the rants seem a little "all-purpose",
so they might be able to be applied just about anywhere. But they
are pretty damn funny, if a little harsh sometimes.
I think her main complaint was the high-school mentality that seems
so prevalent in the fandom these days. Too much drama, bullshit,
whatever. It seems as though most artists are only concerned about
popularity and how many pageviews they get, rather than developing a
unique style and improving their skills.
So far as I know, she never jad any issues with people on this
group or anything. A few folks creeped her out when they continued
writing her incessantly, and asking personal questions (and people
wonder why women on the internet like to conceal themselves?), but
there weren't too many of those.
