On top of that, I think there's an ethnocentrism (for lack of a better word) at play here. Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants have recounted watching untranslated, unsubtitled, unedited anime on local-access Japanese community TV stations in LA from the early 1970s on, and their ability to access and understand this "foreign" cultural product could serve as an "in" with non-Japanese SF fan communities. It seems that Japanese in the United States are often written out of the stories of Japanese cultural transmission to this country. (I think it was Calvin Trilling who argued that, in fact, that's one reason why sushi is so appealing-- Americans don't identify it with physical Japanese bodies, like they do "lesser" cuisines such as Chinese and Mexican.) Just another example that might show that this process was more diffuse than Leonard or Fred Patten have represented.

The concept of open source, as with intellectual property generally, is based on the fact that my possession of a copy of a program doesn't interfere with your possession of a copy of the same program.

The general term for that is "nonrivalrous,"

Who is supposed to be doing the open sourcing here? For those of us who aren't Cylons, there aren't many copies. Bodies are rivalrous

Open source is a great idea, but it's always important to ask who's supposed to be providing the free stuff. As I've said elsewhere, when you start to compare fields that get intellectual property protection (software, sculpture) with fields that don’t (fashion, cooking, sewing), it becomes uncomfortably obvious that our cultural policy has expected women’s endeavors to generate surplus creativity but has assumed that men’s endeavors require compensation,

A straight woman is using a male pseudonym to seem more authentic writing about gay men. Why is this not seen as wrong? Why is this not seen as a gross appropriation?

However - for a straight woman to summarise coming to terms with homophobia, your sexuality and the closet as “not having the balls to be happy.” Really, no. Seriously no. There is so much ignorant privilege there I can’t even begin to address it. Sorry if depiction of the reality of homophobia spoiled your Happily Ever After.

But not gay male experiences - but some of these authors feel free to claim they have and appropriate at will.

a story about queer dudes or ladies can never be defined by its plot or by a single-character story. Slash stories can never be gen.

This is why I am told that the gay children's book I gave my nephew "contains sexuality," but the dozens of children's books that he already has where mommy and daddy love each other do not contain sexuality.

I am so serious about this: het/gen, the slashing of het and gen, het and gen making out with each other, is a system that reinscribes heterosexuality as the norm and as normal, a system that excludes queer sexualities from representation, from general interest.
