Protect teenage girls at all costs! This week -- because it IS still this week, we got it in under the wire! -- V and Emily return to the scorched earth battleground of One Direction fandom, but this time, the missiles were launched by the national media of Great Britain. After an offensive, heinous "documentary" about One Direction fans aired on shock-doc specialist Channel 4, even fandoms dedicated to hating 1D (like Justin Bieber fans) backed up Directioners in trying to reclaim their dignity. Yes, it's another episode where V has big feelings about letting teenage girls love stuff messily, but this time we've got QUOTES and SOURCES and DOCTORAL THESIS ABSTRACTS to back up the rage. Do you think mainstream media can ever accurately portray fandom? Have you respected the fourth wall today?
