No, you haven't failed, you're right, that is the state of TW fandom and it's really quite gross. I came to pretty much the same conclusions about a month after CoE, in this post, but it boggles my mind that for a lot of people, things haven't really changed since then. I've been feeling very upset about the state of TW fandom since the big Ianto file came out, which quoted me from precisely that post. I would have found that really ironic had it not been for the fact that it made me really uncomfortable and embarrassed to be associated with a document that did precisely what I was trying to speak out against, appropriating real-life gay issues and twisting them to support your own agenda because two guys kissing makes you moist. I'm pretty much done with TW fandom, I don't think it can recover from this "hysterical women" perception, and I'm afraid I think it's a perception that's wholly justified.
