Occasionally, I'm callous and strange. ([info]calystarose) wrote in [info]fandom_wank,

LotR Slash Wank....Homophobia, Underage Fen and more!
First Maura decided that she just couldn't bear to write/read slash any more because it was such a horrible sin!!

Then Elbereth did a me too post (which is sadly friends locked). And when the backlash began, she got all defensive. (Again friends locked). The gist of her posts though, were the same as Maura's: that she was leaving the slash community because she just couldn't keep sinning any more. *rolls eyes*

Ancalime followed suit, friends-locking her entry too so that she could avoid being called on her prejudicial remarks.

Elwen asked the age old question of "why can't we just all get along???" while still getting in a few anti-gay digs. (NOT friends locked)

The real fun, though, begins when baranduin makes her opinion of this mini-exodus known.

My favourite quote from baranduin's thread's comments is from Maura:
Let me also say that I am not homophobic. To each his own. I simply will not allow myself to be homosexual because I believe it's wrong.

Be careful, reading Maura's entire post may give you whiplash.

ETA: *snerk* I've been told to apologize to poor Miss Maura or I will be banned from baranduin's LJ. Oh my heart is so broken. Yes I got snotty, but I have a low tolernce for morons. Which Maura most certainly is.

ETAx2: *sniffle* I've been banned. Even though baranduin agrees with me. heh It's a moral victory! *shrug*

One last word from Maura: I had to quit slash or I would have killed myself *sniffle*

Elebreth says, Perfect. I'm the laughing stock of the fandom. - this one isn't friends locked at least.

And no baranduin, I didn't ban anonymous posters, that's community rules

oh no, the four little "I've sinned and must now do right" group seem quite serious, about all of their utterly inane and contridictory views. It's downright scary.

Ok, that gave me more than the expected mental whiplash, because I have LJ user mauralabingi - who is *emphatically* not the same person.

But, yeah, definitely in need of a little therapy, I think. Her user info still says that she loves slash.

Heh.

I think I need a bukkake icon of my own! I made a booboo. It was mauralabingi I dealt with,not maura_labingi.

Though I'm not taking back my feeling of being slightly creeped about her comment about the picture.

But, y'know, if all the slashers and homosexuals and sodomites are going to hell, that could be fun! Constant orgies, and stuff.

Is that one of the circles of fandom hell? Slasher orgies, constant masturbation, no getting off? What other levels of hell can we have? :) Is there one for Harry Potter fans, one for canonphobes, one for RPFers and RPSers?

Resetting the Inferno in fandom would be fun. :)

Y'know, that's their religious beliefs and that's all well and good, I'm not gonna wank them for that. But when you get hypocritical? That's gonna getcha.

Elbereth, in Maura's LJ: I often wondered if there were exceptions, like unconsensual and mpreg (mpreg stories like Elwen's) and still have not figured out if it is an exception at all.

Yes, slash is BAD and WRONG and against my religion, but maybe God is ok with it as long as it's non-consensual or an mpreg! */sarcasm* Suuuuuuuure, hon. Whatever lets you sleep at night.

She hates consensual slash but she's okay with rape? God, that chick has some extremely, extremely fucked up attitudes toward sex. Possibly some serious therapy is in order.

That one got me too -- especially when they resolved that, yeah, mpreg is OK! I mean, how do they think they GOT mpregnant? The mpreg fairy left a baby in the cabbage patch? Nope, gotta be the buttsex.

Okie dokie she doesn't want to be involved with Slash anymore. No problem there.

The issue is her whole 'Slash is EVAL and WRONG and if you write it YOU'RE GOING TO HELL'.

Ya know it's one thing to say a particular genre, or style, or pairing doesn't make you tingle, it's another thing entirely to condemn and entire group of people for not sharing that opinion.

my favorite is this part:

At this point, I think I'm still going to read Elwen's mpreg and work on my own (and read Febobe's if she ever writes any more on it!), since they're adamantly non-slash.

oh. okay. cause the baby jesus, he loves him some mpreg. o_O

It pisses me off so much when someone connects their homophobia with their religious beliefs.

Fine. Screw religion. But when most of the world doesn't differentiate between 'religion' and 'faith,' then you've group liberal, non-denominationals with the Conservative pricks, the pseudo-fundamentalists, the right-wing bigots and everyone else who gives any form of faith a bad name. It makes it that much harder to believe in frickin' ANYTHING when people see these hypocrites mouthing off to other people and using Christianity as an excuse.

Why do false Christians assume that God hates gay people? Where do they get such moronic ideas from? Unless I'm mistaken, the Bible bashes heterosexuality twenty times more often than homosexuality. Just ask the skeptic's Bible.

Darrrr.

Fucking idiots.

From the "One last word from Maura" link...

"If you really want to know what was going through my head last night, I was going to kill myself. I wanted to make everything right with God."

One of the truisms of the internet should be: "If you're losing an argument and all else fails, claim to be suicidal!"

Seriously.

Besides, isn't suicide supposed to be one of those things that's an instant "Go Directly to Hell, Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200" in Christianity? You might as well just keep on writing slash then...

Hang on -- homosexuality is a sin, so reading/writing slash is a sin.

Does that mean that, since murder is a sin, mystery readers & writers are going to the bad place?
