12: #Bigotry Warning #Black Mold #Bugs is back at least!
Welcome to Open Tabs! We had to talk about the black mold in the castle one day: We're covering Harry Potter Fanfiction and the she-who-should-be-ignored who wrote it and uses its continued, metastasized presence in fan culture spaces to justify her bigotry. BUT we've got a bright side to this episode's shit-stain of a topic: We brought Bugs back to help us talk through it!

Welcome to Open Tabs! We've got another episode from the cache for you this week - we're talking about purity culture and how this strange backslide is affecting fandom spaces. What's up with the this shift in the way folks interact with liscened and fan media and each other? We don't have all the answers but we certainly have some loud opinions (and less some very important opinions about the philosophy and fine craft of good chicken wings.)
