(Also, wow, "Schwarzleser," seriously?)
Yes, seriously. It's a big topic on the ff.de forums.
Just wanted to express my WTF moment I had when I read this. I clearly have fallen out of German fandom for a long time already; when I was there "Schwarzleser" was not known and people whining for comments were frowned upon.
What I liked on German speaking fandom (because it's also in Austria and in Switzerland) was the sense of closeness it provided. I have met several RL friends through my times at yaoi.de. The geographical and cultural closeness was always a welcome difference to international fandoms.
