misscamThere are actual people online who will refer to muslims as "towelheads". I... I have no words.
Except to make this very clear. If I spot anyone on my flist making such remarks or otherwise showcase such attitudes, they're right off it. Same goes for homophobic remarks. I don't like stupidity, and those things are stupid, offensive and a waste of my time. I don't care what we might have in common otherwise, or if we share a fandom or if you make splendid icons or write fab fic. Certain things I will not let slide in my playground. Okay?
Racism, homophobia and other excuses for acting like a hateful fuck aren't tolerated here.
Blah. I have a foul taste in my mouth from just typing that word now. Ugh.

I used to have a genuine racist and neo-Nazi in my neighbourhood. That's certainly been an... interesting experience.

I myself still feel gross for having had someone who "admired Hitler" on my flist for so long, with my name in her user info page listed right above the link to some Hitler/Nazi appreciation community.
