(Haha, it's okay, I go link surfing all the time. XD)
I'm sorry, no. ): I haven't been in the habit of bookmarking a lot of those discussions (I'm used to them, so I never saw them as something to take particular note of) and a bunch of the more in depth convos happened in chats or IM. Plus, the ones that come to mind easily are under f-lock, which I not comfortable breaking.
But! One good way to find people who are interested in starting those types of discussions is by going to the rant communities. Those comms seem like they'd be a place where wank festers, but that's usually not the case. More often than not, the people there point and call out the really skeevy parts of fandom (there was one recent incident in Holic where a fan called a female character a 'whore' for kissing the main male character -- the general reaction was, 'a whole world of NO, you do not say that, ever.' It made me happy. ^_^)
Then again, places like clamp_rants are flocked themselves. Animanga fandom is weird in that you won't find the good, thinky stuff unless you are in the fandom. Trouble is, that makes it hard for other people to see what's going on underneath the surface.
