Shipping wars cause ill health!
I'm moving this from C_W because this guy is wanky all by himself.
Meet Hiirowing aka Shirohane, a popular shota furry yaoi author in the Naruto fandom whose main pairing is SasuNaru. On December 16th, Shirohane posted a rant to his LJ in large red font. The rant has been reproduced here for those who don't want their eyes to bleed.
SasUKE jokes NOT appreciated. I'll bite your head off if you joke about that. IT ISN'T FUNNY. Sasuke is spelled 「サスケ」or possibly 「佐助」。So it's spelled as Sa. Su. Ke. I understand there is the word 'uke' in his name if written in romaji, but Sasuke is Japanese boy and romaji doesn't count. Not to mention, does that mean every male who has 'suke' in his name is uke or something? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life. If you make such jokes, I'll assume you're an ignorant American, not to mention someone who lacks half a brain. DON'T JOKE ABOUT IT.
I WILL ATTACK YOU IF YOU MENTION NARUSASU OR SASUKE-UKE OR SAKURA THE PINK ROACH ANYWHERE HERE. DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU'RE SERIOUSLY PICKING A FIGHT WITH ME.
FUCK THAT MOTHER-FUCKING PINK WHORE :D
From there, he goes on to tell his posters that they wouldn't like him when he's mad! </ hulk> Oh yeah, also he likes bribes.
Yeah. Well, many of commenters agreed with this rant and praised him yada yada. However, the praise did not last long as dissenters began pouring in to disagree. Apparenrtly Shirohane doesn't like disagreement either as most of the comments have been bahleeted and/or screened.
But wait, Shirohane wasn't done yet! He had something to say to those who disagreed with him.
I am thinking of taking a legal action against people who have been flooding my livejournal account with degoratory remarks. This is beyond being immature and insensitive. This is downright threat, slander and harrassment (including sexual harrassment, since they forced me to see pornographic images I did not wish to see). I have even been threatened with death, which is a serious criminal offense. I talked to my uncle (who is a lawyer) and he agreed that I have a plausible case to take up a civil lawsuit.
It is nearing Christmas and I felt that most of my harrassers were children between age groups of 13-18, so I have tried to give them a chance. I erased all the comments, banned the posters, and hoped that the harrassment would stop. However, the harrassment continued anonymously (I do have the IP addresses). Even when I was at that age I did not harrass anyone. I acted stupid and immaturely, yes, but I did not harm someone else. They should be old enough to know when they are seriously harming someone. This is not a matter of fandoms or personal opinions any longer. As a person to person, this is not an acceptable mode of behavior.
I have screenshots of all comments and screen names, as well as IP addresses. I visited my doctor and had my blood pressure, heart rate, and weight measured. My blood pressure is higher than it had been in the last two years, my heart rate is unhealthily high, and I have lost five pounds since Tuesday morning. I have also talked to a psychologist. He told me that yes, I am mildly depressed. I have been emotionally traumatized and sexually abused (yes, showing unwilling person pornography is considered sexual abuse). I'm sure most of people who attacked me are around my little sister's age. Do you want me to ruin your life? Do you want criminal record attached to your name for rest of your life just for few hours of fun at my expense? Do you want your future colleges and workplaces to see in your resume that you are a criminal?
And that's only a portion of the newly edited notice.
Oh Naruto fandom, never change. <3
ETA: Thanks to
jetamors for this link!
ew_younerd has posted the best "public apology" I have ever read.
ETA Episode II:
annwyd pointed these out, thanks so much! Apparently mention of Sakura around Shirohane is a no-no as seen in this thread. He also showed up in comments here in ew-younerd's LJ to post the entire "I'm suing you" thing.
The ETA Strikes Back: So ew-younerd has been alerted to us. Does this mean Shirohane isn't far behind?
Now with 50% more ETA: Shirohane has now disabled comments on the original post.
