I need to see actual women. I need women to be present in the text, as well as reshaping it. I need new stories, or old stories brought out, I need marginalized stories centered, I need the world re-centered on women (white women and women of color) and people of color (women of color and men of color) and queer people and slash stories

Yes yes, so much yes. I've heard a lot of people describe vidding as not political but for me it so so is, for just those reasons (as well as for the turning consumption into production DIY one). I understand how slash vids, etc, fit into that category but for me they're not enough; I am so happy about all the critical, meta, feminist/queer/antiracist vids that seem to be coming out now.

I keep fantasizing about a political/feminist-sf vidshow at WisCon...
