What happened to ‘When Fangirls Attack’?
When Fangirls Attack is a blog dedicated to linking to blog posts dealing with gender issues pertaining to the world of comic books. It is maintained by three bloggers, Kalinara, Anna, and Ragnell.
Mostly it was about the reactions to the stupid, sexist stuff that comic book companies do. It also dealt with the stuff stupid, sexist and misogynistic comic book fanboys said or did on the Internet. Being that there is never a shortage of sexist or misogynistic crap in the world of comic books, When Fangirls Attack was always worth checking out. On the few occasions one of my blog posts was linked there, I received a massive amount of traffic from there. It is a popular site.
The site has not been updated since July 1, 2008.
Now either there hasn’t been any comic book misogyny on the Internet, or something else is going on. I’m guessing it’s the latter. I miss reading the posts linked there. Some of them were really quite good.
There was a slowdown in June. That slowdown has since turned into a complete standstill. I’m hoping the site returns soon. Normally I would delete the RSS feed from my newsreader if a blog went dark for over a month.
I’m not going to so that with When Fangirls Attack. I hope it returns soon.
