There are so many points in here that I just want to copy and point to with a "Word!". The one about the derisive use of age-bracket, the one about young girls' aculturation and fear of sexuality, the one about the accumulation of experience in this fandom, the one about the back-channel nature of the discussions... Yes!
And you remind me to have hope for my fandoms, even the ones like KHR that I look at and tend to cry into my beer over.
