I think I've lost weight. Goddess knows how since I eat like a pig, but my pants are loose. This may mean I need new pants.
Does "privacy" have a completely different meaning in American from what it means in English? I'm confused by recent discussions invoking "privacy" as an argument against RPF. I can think of a lot of arguments against RPF, but that isn't one that seems logical to me. If it's made up, it's not private, is it?
I may have started a new SPN fic last night. Naughty, since I haven't finished my Big Bang yet.
I kind of cringe at my own attitude, actually, which is sort of "You can do what you like, just don't do it where I have to watch" - which is how my family feel about gays. Hence the cringe.
But I think what bothers me is that these are real people. Real people have real families who can be hurt. I can accept the argument that an actor or band member has chosen to live in the public eye, and this is a consequence. Fine, but his sister or grandmother hasn't made that choice. What happens when X's grandma proudly googles her grandson and gets a hundred hits of X ass-fucking Z over a barrel. Or whatever. That's real damage to a real person - and I don't think there's an argument to justify that.
