Creeping as feminist trolling


Another angle worth exploring might be creeping as a form of FT. I totally creep feminist tumblrs and fashion message boards (WAYWT threads mostly). I’ve seriously been lurking some people’s blogs and LJs for years. Y-E-A-R-S. It’s the worst feeling when you meet someone in person and you can’t say, “I read your blog….all of it.” On one hand, it’s acceptable to profile stalk on FB (this is what it’s for), on the other, it sounds weird when you say, “I’ve read all 19K of his tweets,” out loud. It seems to say more about your consumption habits than someone’s writing output. This is some twisted trade-off of prosumption and social media I guess.
