Avatar Wank- Showered with love
Everyone knows that Nick's Avatar: The Last Airbender schedule is completely whack. We're getting episodes on DVD long before they air on TV. As in, these episodes are probably not going to air until July. Fans are understandably a bit miffed.

Post One:
[info]redwiltingroses posts to [info]avatar_fans to excitedly tell the members she has the newest dvd, which has unaired episodes. She works at Blockbuster and they got it in their "pre-streets," copies of dvds available for employees to rent before they come out. People are excited. No wank. No one even questions its validity.

Post Two:
She posts again and provides a rough outline of the episodes. People are nice at first. The entire first page is legitimate comments and discussion. Although, lots of people are still demanding an upload to the point of linking to software to download and explaining how to do it. If only...

[info]kyatto is the first to question the summary's validity (albeit not in a wanky manner). [info]willowchan says it's a "personal social obligation" to provide more evidence. We are informed that the spoilers reek of bad fanfiction. rachelthedemon makes her first appearance in that thread by calling the OP an obvious attention whore. [info]spleefmistress also pops up to call the OP a "tartlet" (...okay) among other tings.

rachelthedemon pops in and profoundly CALLS B.S.[info]spleefmistress continues...

Post Three:
[info]redwiltingroses relents and provides a picture of the DVD a well as a few cameraphone clips.

Avatar fans demand video. If she's going to provide a summary and twenty second snippets taken with her camera phone, she has to rip the whole thing or she's just taunting us. This sentiment occurs several times in both posts, but this was the wankiest thread. [info]spleef_mistress admittedly uses copypasta, nonsensical ice cream comparisons and throughout the thread, still doesn't get it.

rachelthedemon still doesn't believe her, because apparently the snippets don't match up with things shown at NYCC. But oh well, she can't stand 80% of the community anyways.

Most people are very sane throughout the posts. That much is good.

edit: Spoilers obviously.

edit: Posts shut down. Unfortunately I have no caps as I was at work. :(

Wow, there's a lot of entitlement packed into that post. I am both impressed and appalled by Avatar fandom.

Gee, and there I was thinking the summary fitted okay with what I'd independently guessed those two episodes might, in very broad terms, be like. Apparently other people have stronger (or more broken?) BS sensors that I do.

Yes, because I'm sure she went through all the trouble of animating her own clips, with the characters being right on model, just to have the envy of a bunch of people on an LJ group.

So is this one of those comms where all the moderators have since disappeared off the internet? Because I can't think of another good reason why rachelthedemon hasn't been banned. Because wow. What a douche.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like there's coordination between rachelthedemon and spleefmistress. I wonder if they deliberately ganged up on the OP together.

Yes, I wondered when that would end up here. So much cunty behavior over something so trivial - that's Avatar fandom for ya!

rachelthedemon: Go ahead. Personally, I don't really care what you lot anymore, because I can't stand a good 80% of you anyway.

paperclipchains: Yeah, we're crying ourselves to sleep without your approval, here.

I think what astounds me is that no one seems to care about how much trouble this person would be in if they illegally ripped the DVD. Jeez people, be more grateful to some nice person gave you the summary instead of demanding "more more more!" *rolls eyes*

Oh wait, I think megoomba figured it all out over here.

megoomba: It's the OP's fault for what happened. She should have known we're all retarded as hell here and expected an utter deluge of asshattery, personal insults, and demands for her to produce illegal, easily-traceable-by-Paramount/Viacom uploads of the episodes for us.

Rest of Comm: lol wut?

Poor little [info]willowchan. No dictionary AND no backbone. That has got to be rough. I mean, bad enough to be forced into using words without knowing what they mean. But worse than that,to be dependent upon the good opinions of people on the Internet for your self-esteem?

Heart. Wrenching.

Oh yes they are.

It's not a club obligation but a personal social obligation in order to preserve your own image. I don't know about you, but I'd hate to be labeled a phony (even for only two weeks) just because I didn't post enough evidence.


I have nothing articulate to say about this. I'm just flailing. Augh...

Okay, I know people have done absurd things to get love on the internet, but somehow making realistic animation of the show only to be revealed to be full of shit within a few weeks is crap. Some avatar fans truly have some strange paranoia complexes.

Also, something is seriously wrong with Nickelodeon when your business model is:
1. Release episodes never
2. Fans get pissed and torrent our shit
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

I think what's driving the crazy here is that most of them probably do believe her - the material does exist, it's been written and animated and voiced and put to DVD, it's out there - and they don't get to see it.

ew_younerd: She had no obligation to post a video.

spleefmistress: Yes, she did. If she had the DVD/episode, then yes, she had to share. Otherwise, she should not have posted what she did at all.
