Does anyone do anything at Milliways except wank? Like order drinks?
I am OFFENDED. Practically my college motto, there.

Why?

Well, the OP doesn't go into details but we get told in a comment that it's because Claire from Heroes entered Milliways while only in a towel.

Cue [info]metaphor trying not to cry, [info]daniidebrabant internet lawyering about child porn and minors, [info]oh_envy jumping in to point out Heroes has graphic gore, and [info]becky_h saying there's no actual kid being hurt so everyone stop overreacting. Because otherwise, [info]dieinahole's dangerous Nuke Sequence's being tripped would have killed us all.

[info]birdseyeview wants to know why nobody thinks of the bisexuals people that weren't offended.

And then finally, [info]sockarooni pops up to make an 'ad homimem attack' that informs people the player in question is a skeeze and talks about his sexual fantasies in a teen-friendly enviroment. Which sheds a whole new light on everything so far to the point that [info]becky_h backs down.

Oh, and just noticed the OP's location is listed as "The Valley of dispair with my anti-wank (hopefully) rifle". Uh-huh.

Edit: Comments from [info]darksunlight aka Mitch make it seem like he's the person the OP is complaining about and according to [info]piobaireachd, they'd practically started a poll on how long it would be before something like that happened, though 'they' is unspecified and it seems to be a complaint about a general trend rather than whoever plays Claire and explains that comment here in a comment to this post. And hey, look, spelling lessons!

[info]viridian tosses in her two cents, and explains herself a little further in comments to this post.

And we have a reaction post in the journal of Claire's player informing us we're all crazy because it's only fiction, while [info]sepiamagpie informs us in comments to this post that Mitch smells -- or probably not, but he's definitely part of the skeevy squad.

Edit II: IC reactions! One per link. Or, IC in the sense that two other muns pull the towel stunt, kindly reported to us by [info]piobaireachd. And two other people get a friend here on JF to toss in their two cents about Mitch's skeeviness. And [info]muffinbutt, weighs in on the game rules concerning how the towel-scene would have happened, speaking from the point of authority as 'a current Bar Mod, Co-Barman, and former game mod'.

Edit III: It's the wank that keeps on giving and got duked out in comments over here! The comment in which [info]piobaireachd pointed out the IC reactions is jumped upon by a self-proclaimed Towel'd Mun and they have a little chat about disliking players versus characters and the difference between drama whoring that creates more work for mods and a good, sarcastic reaction.

Edit IV: Annnd now [info]anonon who IDs his/herself as the other Towel'd Mun, jumps in to give her side of the argument, also in comments to this post. I'm starting to feel like it should be getting quoted over on [info]wankitywank by this point.

Urgh. It's too late in the night if I look at your icon TWICE while scrolling down and the first time see an orchid and the second time see something thoroughly obscene thanks to the pink fuzzy slippers.

Not really, no. But I'd rather be someone not worth impressing than have reputations like the two of you.

I hope my reputation involves eating babies or something similarly interesting.

But I'm actually going to be serious for a second.

About reputations--it's the interwebs. I have a reputation in real life as an intelligent hard-working young woman, a good student, a fantastic, loyal friend (proven by all the times Andy_Longwood has blindly jumped to my defense even when I was wrong, out of sheer best-friendly loyalty).

Even on the net, I have my friends and allies, people I hate, people who hate me, people who I rub the wrong way and vice versa, people who I tolerate and who tolerate me, and people who I don't have any strong feelings for other than vague friendliness, or vague dislike, or mutual agreements to disagree.

It's a healthy attitude, not taking the net too seriously, because while outright lying on it is bad--because there are still people on the other side of the computer screens--it is still just the internet. It is still just games.

Thinking it's the end-all, be-all, taking it serious and getting all pretentious and histrionic about it...that's screwed up.

And that's entirely the sort of attitude we were mocking. You may not have laughed, but we did and so did the people we were trying to make laugh. You weren't one of them.

Mandy and I did something that entertained us and gave a few other people a good time.

Also, I can't speak for Mandy, but I did it to do the situation more tastefully than Mitch, proving that it can be used purely for humor and be non-sexualized.
All the people offended are offended because we're taking a poke at their expense, not because we're being skeevy.

Sure, I could have waited until the wank died down, but while half the joke would still be funny, the other half wouldn't. If that meant offending a lot of people I only vaguely know and don't really care about, so be it...since I don't really care about them.

That's what RP is for--it's not meant to please everybody. As complicating things for the mods, sadly, we're not breaking any rules, and they're mods. It's their job to deal with this, and other than getting a few already huffy people huffy at us as well as much, we haven't done any more damage. They can feel free to join me and Mandy and Li's game and make moding more complicated for us, and we'll have to deal with it because that's our job there.

You may not have found it funny, but Mandy and I were giggling in our corner and our friends--the main people we were aiming the posts at--were laughing with us. We and they are still giggling. That's all we were really aiming for in the first place.

You could join us in the giggling, but I'm afraid you'd have to get some pliers and remove that tree trunk you have jammed up there first.

I actually was giggling-- until you two jumped on the train because given those intarweb reputations you've garnered yourselves, it doesn't look funny to the majority, it comes across as, well, a little like a pathetic attempt for attention.

It wasn't offensive - and hey, kudos to you for amusing your own little peanut gallery - it was just plain stupid. And since you two, plus Mitch (who, frankly, I have less of a problem with at this point) now make up a good portion of this canon, I choose to bow out before I ever really got in. Which personally, isn't a big deal. I wasn't as invested in this as some other muns are.

I'm glad you're a wonderful person in "real life". It's too bad that doesn't come across online.

Oh come on. Are you going to *pinches her cheek* and call me "sweetie" and "hon" too? Unless you have something meaningful and/or sarcastic to say, don't even bother. After that it's just time for both of us to shut up.

You know, I was going to ramble on about this and... man. I just don't need to. The RP I get speaks for me. 80+ tags on Zuko's post and going. Five taggers. One I've never RPed with before, as far as I'm aware.

Mmm, nope. Not sorry I did it. We got a laugh, I got RP, my job is done.

Since we have the Spelling and Grammar Police Patrolling with a speed spelling-trap on this street.
