A friend of mine took the opportunity to rid his whole city of them after the forth Mormon Vamps book hit and the sparkle meme was at its strongest.'So does that make Ms. Mormon Sparkle Vamp a hero?'Of a sort. Before they started to sparkle, there were a lot of vamps who were tortured antiheroes, thanks to Rice and Whedon.'Ree grimaced. 'Do you know if she was clued in?'Eastwood shrugged. 'She's very secretive, no one in the Underground has been able to say for sure. It's all rumor.

And to be honest, I don’t imagine anyone would call the women in these films heroes. The popular comic book mercenary Red Sonja is, perhaps, a proper hero, but is, once again, motivated by a sexual assault. Male heroes are heroic because of what’s been done to women in their lives, often—the dead child, the dead wife. Women heroes are also heroic for what’s been done to women … to them.We build our heroes, too often, on terrible things done to women, instead of creating, simply, heroes who do things, who persevere in the face of overwhelming odds because it’s the right thing to do.","author":"Kameron Hurley","tags":["culture","feminism","geek"],"id":43194,"author_id":"Kameron+Hurley"},{"text":"The geek of the Earth are a tribe and they are mighty.","author":"Ian McDonald","tags":["geek","geek-culture","nerd-culture","solidarity","unity"],"id":43706,"author_id":"Ian+McDonald"},{"text":"Many things have been compared to a brick, mainly as a tribute to their intellect or to their aerodynamic characteristics.","author":"Sorin Suciu","tags":["characteristics","geek","geek-humor","humor","intellect","intellectual","jokes","laughter"],"id":46517,"author_id":"Sorin+Suciu"},{"text":"Just move to the Internet, its great here.
