pegkerrThis may clinch your impression that I'm clueless white girl much of the time, and I know that it's really hard to believe (especially since so many on my friends list were involved), but I really did totally miss this. I spent much of the past month not really reading my friends list but instead trying not to get depressed/reading mind-numbing junk/coping with my injury/running the girls to karate/![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hpalternity/thinking about decreasing worldsuck. But a couple innocent questions to people I know along the lines of "What is it everyone's talking about?" led to me spending a couple of hours surfing the link list over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rydra_wong's journal, and . . . OMG.
I'm not going to even comment. I'd probably have things to say about writing about the Other, if I wanted to wade into the discussion, given that I wrote The Wild Swans, but . . . no. Call me coward, and if you think me one, sorry, but I'm backing away slowly, making no sudden moves and not venturing any opinions. I have fought too hard for my own mental equilibrium over the past year to get sucked into something that seems to have scarred so many people so badly. Yeah, that may be selfish of me, but right now, it's truly the best I can do.
Maybe it's today's contribution to, well, not decreasing worldsuck, but at least not increasing it. Because honestly, from what I've read in the various posts and comments, I seriously doubt that I could say anything at all without managing to enrage someone, somewhere, even if I were desperately trying not to do so. For all I know, some of you might even get mad at my saying I'm not going to talk about it at all.
