Women's Work

Last year the post VVC reports talked about a fourth wave of vidding, in which we came out of the closet and became our own subjects, a trend that later culminated in Us. This year the talk is more of vids that focus outwards, vids as political statements specifically feminist ones. Women’s Work by Luminosity and sisabet is probably the most discussed example, the most controversial within fandom and the one most explicitly intended as a critque of media fandom as a whole rather than the failings of one particular show.
