It's really quite amusing to me that angua9 can hold herself out as not only an expert on the philosophy of the R/H shippers in the main but also a segment of the opposing ship.
I'm not, and never have been, an H/Hr-shipper (and it's kind of sad that I feel the need to make such a disclaimer, because it shouldn't matter, but the fact is that in this fandom, it does), but I have to say that when I saw that "essay" I was kind of amazed at how many people seemed to take it seriously, as if it really brought some kind of "insight" to how "Harmonians" really are and think. I mean she admits herself that she is looking at them through hostile glasses; if you want to make a serious analysis of a segment of people you don't belong to yourself, you need to be able to obtain a certain objectivity. I wouldn't trust anyone to "objectively" report how their enemies think.
