PSA: we exist
I don't do this very often, but this isn't the kind of thing I like to leave unchallenged.
Anime fans! Go and tell this blog-blinkered individual that women who are also passionate anime fans exist!
*shaking head* Honstly.

Contrasting watching lots of stuff with fandom of specific titles seems awfully dicey, too; taken too broadly, you could be excluding as "fans" people who, er, have taste.

*coughs* Yeah, a bit of that also. I mean, I figure I'm on the high-consumption end having a few shows a season I follow instead of dedicating my every waking hour to just one or two!

Augh. AND he has the nerve to make qualifications and backpedalling moves, but he does it in a comment rather than as a top-level edit to the post. Smooth, dude. Smooth.

The annoying thing? I think this is a woman. Isn't that just freaking depressing?

Talk about blogging versus LJ/DW-type journaling always confuses me a bit, though. I get the impression that people who write on non-LJ/DW services tend to think that LJ/DW posts are intrinsically different from blog posts? I'm not saying there isn't a difference (I haven't given it much thought yet), but I'm not sure what blogging-only people actually think the difference is. Do you happen to know if there's any good meta on this topic?

I don't know of any good meta on that. I think you're right, but I don't frequent the blogosphere all that much myself; the community standards for talking-in-the-comments are just different enough to make me wary. It feels a lot more performative, in the blogosphere, a lot more focused on showing your cleverness in public. A product of less built-in interconnection and therefore far fewer privacy controls, I suspect. Pings just aren't the same as a reading list.

I tried out finding some stuff via Pinboard, and the following blogging-related meta came up. Won't have time to read them until tonight, but what you say sounds pretty familiar. I feel a lot more pressure to be coherent/clever/correct when commenting on a blog than on LJ/DW. There's a real sense of stage fright.
