Entry tags:entitlement, fandom: veronica mars

The stupid. It burns.
[info]inthevast posts an e-mail address of the CW network programming executive to the veronica_mars community. Problem? She got it from
Grave Watchers, a community of disgruntled ex-fans which is devoted to three subjects:

- How much the show sucks now.
- How to make sure it gets cancelled this year. (This is where the e-mail address came from)
- and how much of a raging, selfish, untalented, mean, fake, fugly, hypocritical bitch Veronica Mars's star Kristen Bell is and how she has no taste in choosing roles, men, clothes, make-up and how she gets co-stars fired. In short, Kristen Bell gives puppies AIDS.

The community is locked, so a lot of its members take offense and [info]inthevast replies to each and everyone of them. Some of the replies are bitchier than others. The Grave Watchers ban her from the community and she posts a screencap of the entry with e-mail address. More wank ensues.

And this point everyone stops caring that the e-mail address is public internet knowledge, because it makes more fun to wank about LJ etiquette and the real purpose of the Grave Watchers community.

The community maintainer okays the post, because "hey, publicly available information." The wank continues over at Cloud Watchers, a Save the Show community where [info]inthevast also re-posted the e-mail address. Its mod doesn't give a shit because logic isn't her strong point:

people who belong to said locked community took information from a locked post in my private livejournal account (not even a community) and posted about it.

Veronica Mars Fandom, never change your stupid ways.

I don't get it. They want the show canceled because... they think the CW might replace it with something better? I totally understand having a community for hating a TV show, and snarking about it, and being mean, but actively trying to get it canceled is weird.

I know. Once it's cancelled, you won't have anything to bitch about anymore. :T

That's my biggest concern about book 7 ending HP land. There will still be bitching about book 7 (and overall whole series bitching), but no new bitching about that chapter in book 8 where Tonks goes back in time to have sex with Henry so it turns out Elizabeth II can change her appearance at will (and cause much embarrassment for her children).

I totally get it though. It's like, when I was a kid my sister had this balloon. And I was mad jealous, so me and my teddybear formed a secret society whose sole purpose was to blow up the balloon. Not because we had anything to gain by it, but because it would hurt my sister.

I believe that was my sister's motivation behind cutting off the heads of my barbies. I got my revenge though, when I... Damn. I had a short attention span as a child.

Considering it's currently on hiatus so that the Pussycat Dolls might find a seventh woman dancing in her underwear whom no one on the street can name, I find their faith in the CW misplaced.

I also find it misplaced because my favorite show on there is scheduled against the two highest-rated shows in primetime and yet they wonder why the ratings aren't what they'd like, but that's got nothing to do with this. :)

That's basically what it is, a bitterness community, a place for anti-fans to get their hate on. The "getting VM cancelled" thing is pretty much just a joke. Nothing fans or anti-fans do at this point is going to have much of an effect on whether the show gets picked up or not, IMO.

I really don't get it. If the people who think that Veronica Mars: FBI Agent!!!11!1!" is an OMG BRILLIANT idea for S4, why can't people who think it sounds like ass on a cracker express their thoughts about it to the network?

People have the right to vent with like-minded people in peace. The whole "We're trying to get the show canceled" thing on that comm is 99% tongue-in-cheek. It's mostly a community to vent. The reason that the members got up in arms about it is becuase [info]inthevast repeatedly failed to get the concept of "locked post from a private community."

Also!

- How Veronica is a huge bitch and everyone hates her.
- How Logan is the most popular charcter, TRUE FAX.
- How everyone hates Piz and hated Duncan, TRUE FAX.
- How boring all of the characters are besides Logan, especially Piz and Duncan.
- How Rob Thomas cannot write.
- How Rob Thomas hates LoVe and LoVe fans even more than he hates Logan/Veronica.
- How Rob Thomas is out to get Logan and LoVe fans.

For more batshittery, I highly recommend the Speculation With Spoilers thread over on TWoP. (Obviously, it will contain spoilers for the final five episodes of Veronica Mars.)

The Vmars fans on TWOP are insane. Every post is about how great and wonderful Logan is and how horrible Veronica is, and how zomg Logan doesn't get as much screen time as Veronica. The show's called Veronica Mars, people, not Logan Eckles.

Oh god. The speculation thread...

I had to re-vow never to visit TWOP again after I saw their guesses as to what Piz' HORRIBLE SEKRIT was going to be.

I'm hoping against all hope that someone's "Piz is the real real Madison Sinclair" theory (to name only one little slice of batshittery) was a joke, but I think most of them are dead serious about him being secretly being some evil pervert who's going to rape Veronica and *gasp* be mean to poor widdle Logan!!!1

Grave Watchers are complaining that we are not mocking them hard enough.

I just want to thank inthevast and other moles on grave_watchers. As predicted, you guys acted with such classlessness and crudeness that you have inspired dozens of people to rethink their opposition to negative campaigning. Now you've actually motivated and energized a whole movement of people inspired to ensure the cancellation of Veronica Mars! Thank you for being so predictably wanky! We never could have gotten the pro-cancellation campaign going without you! Yay you!

But seriously folks, did WarGames teach us NOTHING?

Yes, this is unlocked deliberately. I hate to think of all the Fandom Wankers coming here and seeing nothing juicy. *waves hi* Oh wait, so few people even care about VM any more that they can't even be bothered to wank very much about it. I do believe half the replies there aren't even about VM, GW or fandom. And we have the requisite (hold on, I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing): "The show's called Veronica Mars, people, not Logan Eckles [sic^infinity]" comment.

EVEN THE WANK IS PATHETIC. Step up to the plate, guys. Fandom wank can do better!

Dude, maybe the show *does* suck (I dunno since I've never watched it), but *this* massive amount of hatred dedicated to a freaking *television show* is fucking ridiculous.

Yay for anon posting on!

I miss the good old days when the VM fandom was a sane, nice place to hang out. Then season two happened and all that went away. :( Of course, I'm ready for the show to be gone by now, anyway, but I really want it to be renewed just to piss people (not members of grave_watchers, but other people) off. How bad is it that the only enjoyment I get out of a show now is as revenge on someone else?

Heh! I've hated this show since before hating it became 'cool'. I hated it in Season 1 when it ate my friend's list</i> when everyone began a constant barage of squees that it was the only quality show on television and that if you were at all intelligent then you had to love it. If you didn't you were a total moron who wanted crap television or you'd clearly never seen the show, because if you'd seen it then you would realize it was OMG! The bestest thing ever produced on television EVAH!!111!!!! (or it was a modern take on Nancy Drew with an overly precocious teen who made pop-cult references which would only be believable from someone old enough not to have been in diapers in the 1980s). I've been waiting years for this bitter wank explosion to balance out the avalanche of overthetop squee.
