*nodsnods* Agreed. And as I try to do my own work to confront myself and my prejudice, and to speak up when I see something crappy going down, I hope to encourage others to do so, too. I just get frustrated to not be able to have a bigger impact. I'm barely even a part of SF/F fandom anymore, and I was never anything but a tiny little fan anyway -- who's going to listen to me? Not that that's going to make me shut up, but yeah.
It just all breaks my heart, and I'll admit that some of it is purely selfish: I don't want to lose all these wonderful voices from fandom. But apart from that, it's just so wrong -- fandom should be an awesome place for ALL fans, and it very obviously fails miserably on that score.
