“Grossly misinterpreted” doesn’t begin to cover that little blurb; I’ve never seen a hatchet job so ably combine “vicious” with “short.”
I skimmed the site a little further; for all the Jawa Report’s authors probably think of themselves as the “the Little Guys”—and therefore the heroes of the narrative—they’re actually the product of a culture built around their goals, their power, and their privilege. In other words, they aren’t jawas, they’re Imperials.

Pretty much! I hate to give them the hits, but it was too nutty not to share.

Plus, I’m hoping that if they show pingbacks, their readers will come here, read Choi’s interview and maybe get a different perspective.

Somewhat ironically, I read that SP post one day after I’d had a total self-loathing meltdown. It really helped me put things into perspective, as do many, many of their posts.

What a can of bilge (the Choi article, not you). Left my comment, anyway.
I haven’t seen True Blood yet, but the io9 article evokes misgivings I always have about “monster as minority” stories.

One commenter at SwampPolitics.com suggested all homosexual service members should “announce that they are gay, loudly” on July 4th.
That might not be a bad idea. I spent six years in the service, and my experience suggests there are a loooooot of LGBT men and women in uniform. Certainly much more than the 3-10% you’d expect from a random sampling of society. Could the U.S. military ax, say, 15% of its ranks and stay functional? Particularly now, during a chronic recruiting shortfall?
Alas, the arch-reactionaries who populate the highest ranks would certainly try. These are people who still complain openly about the integration of the Women’s Army Corps into the rest of the service.
