ep. 33 | Intro to OMGCP Discourse II

Continuing a discussion of "weirdest" fandom discourse, Tomato and Sekrit cycle back around to the social and cultural reasons why things in fandom get contentious, and how these particular motivations bear down on Check, Please fandom. Plus: some stuff about real-life NHL players and how their fanfic analogs are configured in the comic, and how the topics hit on in this two-parter could make for their own breakout conversations.

A big thanks to queerofcups for helping us ID some OMGCP discourses as we were planning this conversation! Check out this fucking amazing fanfic.

NB, this episode contains a wide-ranging discussion of various real-life hockey players, including one who has been accused of sexual assault, between 10:30 and 21:30.
