I've been seeing some frustration with fandom again. [/understatement] So let's pull our focus away from Hollywood Celebs for a bit, and focus on the Big Name Fans (BNFs) of our fandoms who are conservative friendly.

What makes a BNF friendly to us right-thinkers?
-- The BNF, miraculously, is a conservative themselves. This could be well-known in the fandom, or just to the BNF's closest friends.
-- The BNF does not express any particular political leanings (aside from being pro-gay for slash or whatever), and generally sticks to fandom dealies.
-- The BNF is openly liberal, doesn't like Bush, but keeps all rantings to friends-locked posts, or in a personal journal that is separate from their fandom journal.
-- The BNF is liberaly, will post about Imporant Issues in the midst of their fandom posts, but treats opposing viewpoints with respect.

What makes them not-so friendly?
-- The BNF is angrily anti-Bush, will often make references to horrible conservative ideals in their fic/art, and makes no attempt to keep fandom and politics separate. (Probably a lot of gay marriage preaching in their fic, if they write slash -- and yes, I know not all us conservative fangirls are anti-gay marriage, but no one else seems to realise that :P)
-- The BNF asks conservative or otherwise pro-Bushies to stay away from their journal, full-stop.


If you know of some friendly ones, start a thread for your fandom (i.e. put the name of the fandom in the subject line), and then post about these good ones. And don't worry about trying to figure out exactly constitutes a BNF -- if they've got a pretty decent following, and the fandom tends to slow to a halt when they post, they're a BNF *g*

Thanks
