People - they're often stupid. And scary.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, I know. And it's the not the first one. There was the infamous Tony Lucca incident when a bunch of fans did it to his face.
But I do find McKellen's comment interesting. Despite what provoked him to say it. I mean, did he just give consent to being slashed?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It certainly looks that way.

I'd say he's made his peace with the inevitability of it, anyway, and understands the mindset. This is a guy who imagines for a living, after all.

Which might imply that most actors would be in the same place and I think that is not a conclusion one can safely draw.

No, I wouldn't suppose that!
Some actors really do see "the guy up there on the screen" as being completely separate from themselves, and then go beyond that and realize their public personas in fan minds is also as artificial a creation.

Some do, some don't, some'll have made peace with it, some won't.
But I don't think imagining for a living is tied causally to it.

I think you would be more likely to have to consider the issue, but then I'm skewed towards the "imagining for a living" experience.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Apparently the latest big deal is that someone shoved a Theban Band Merry/Pippin photomanip into the faces of Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd.
This fandom scares the fuck out of me.
