Fangirls seem to treat LJ as a refuge--there was a great deal of outrage of late over some people not liking slashy comments in scans_daily that took the form of "This is our space! They have the entire rest of the Internet to penis up!" I think it might have to do with the explicitly social nature of LJ, where you can not only hide things, but actively shun people who have pissed you off and reward those you like
That's fascinating. I'll be honest - I don't "get" livejournal or MySpace, somehow. I think you kind of get used to the internet you first experience, and I've been on since '93. moving past mirc and usenet was adjustment enough ... I suppose I just haven't quite grasped the social networking stuff. It also seems to skew young ... LJ is part of teen's lives now, wheras I think the oldsters do congregate around blogging.

Anyways ... I'm just glad the fangirls are somewhere. I'm trying to raise two myself, and am hoping that they'll not be alone.
