Wow, that article. Way to have a non-biased point of view.
I think what's pissing me off the most is the underlying theme of "there is literature, and then there is Harry Potter" that underscores it all. Why can you read more into Hemmingway than Rowling? Hemmingway's Feista: The Sun Also Rises has a million jokes about dicks, has a writing style that's spartan to be kind, and ultimately has little to tell but the story of displacement. But he's more of a writer because his target was an adult market?
Right.
What I want to know is how she managed to pick, out of 1200 people, all the ones who come off slightly odd.
Also: find me a fandom that's male-dominated and not Animie and I'll be very impressed. (Or gaming. Gaming's sort of different.)
