At Nine Worlds, you wouldn’t feel belittled for not understanding an ancient in-joke, or for being a fan of anime or superhero comics, or for speaking out against racist subtext in a genre favorite like Firefly or Doctor Who.

The hell? Did this chick watch Firefly with some sort of feminist chip on her shoulder? I've watched every episode of 'Firefly' and the movie, 'Serenity', multiple times, and I have NO clue what she means!

Can't speak about Dr. Who, because I only really watched the show during the time Tom Baker was The Doctor, so maybe the really early ones could have been considered racist or sexist by today's standards, but good grief!!

A friend of mine called her a SJW. I had to look it up:

SJW = Social Justice Warrior

I think my friend nailed her. :)
