They also misrepresented their relationship with BU, ran a survey about sexual behavior without an age filter, changed the questions in the middle of the survey when people complained about them, use offensive terminology, and worst of all, they make sweeping claims about female sexuality based on counting the number of erotic stories in online repositories. It's all really really gender-essentialist--the worst kind of EvoPsych bullshit. Oh, and they pretty much ignore anyone who isn't straight--I don't think they think the Kinsey scale exists.
In my experience, a large percentage of slash writers and readers are women who are lesbian or bi or otherwise gender queer. This is not captured in that book, much less recognized by most of the academic studies of slash fandom. It's not just straight women.
Here's the SurveyFail fanlore entry. Sketchy!
Unrelatedly, it was kind of weird to have a Weasley in the X-Men.
Wow. Sketchy is putting it mildly.
It amazes me sometimes that publishers don't fact-check more often, but then it's also disheartening to think that editors should always assume that if people aren't lying, they're at least probably exaggerating their credentials.
ita - which Weasley? (Or is that spoilery?)
I think this may be my favorite X-movie. Except the ending.
OK, and one quibble:
The Beast makeup made him look like an escapee from Cats: The Musical. They did the makeup a whole lot better for Hank McCoy's appearance in #3, which was probably the best part of that poor excuse for a movie.
Generic Weasley, Sumi.
Theo, that's pretty close to how he looked in the comics, adjusted for a human face.
They changed him to more catlike later. He was closer to what we saw of Kelsey Grammar in the third movie.
They changed him who to more catlike later when? Cat Beast has been comic canon for a long time.
The Kelsey Grammar version/look is more of the "Green Hulk" version. Beast Classic!
