What /is/ this?

Okay, seriously, what the fuck?

My rant on women in KHR was far from the first thing I've written castigating some anime/manga or other for presenting women as useless frills or objectified sex shows or whatever other negative stereotype was in question. I'm fairly sure it wasn't the first time such an entry has been linked on a meta comm.

So why is this particular entry drawing so much fire? I just ran across yet another (annoyingly clueless) screed against it while googling for a KHR timeline for pity's sake!

Is there really such a concentration of anti-feminist women (I shudder that such a phrase can still be written) in KHR, or did this particular entry just happen to fall into the orbit of a small knot of them and I have the bad luck to keep stumbling over their excrescence?

That really does seem... weird.

Especially that these are things that are being posted openly. Seems to me that if you want to take issue with someone else's rant--but without engaging with the original rant/ranter--you ought to filter or flock your response.

But then, I suppose I have odd ideas about internet backing-and-forthings.

I think the one I noticed today was in some other kind of blog, not an LJ. The apparent spread of this just seems so peculiar.
