snatched from [info]wank_report

"Someone" posts a secret (#114 now bahleeted--caps?) on [info]fandomsecrets and the image is stored on her easily identifiable photobucket account. She claims to be lonely and not have any friends and she wishes the Avatar characters were her RL friends. But she means local friends, not imaginary intarweb bitches her LJ friends.

Responses are mostly of the "Oh, snap!" variety except for the "What am I? Chopped liver?" one. It's really a very mild response though [info]yukinoomoni is outed by name.



She posts and does not overreact at all:


"*facepalm*
Oh, honestly.

First of all, I don't care if people know who I am.

Second of all, read the fucking whole thing in context.

Third of all, you know what? Take it out of context, I don't care.

That's how I feel. When I come home, I don't have people to hang out with in my neighbourhood.. When I want to talk to someone about something, I have no one I can call. With the exception of one person, who I am not belittling, what I posted was true.

I am fucking so sick of it.

I try to explain myself. I try to express myself. And I get people misinterpreting me, not getting it.

You're going to think what you want, so why do I bother posting anything anymore?

If that's enough to make you hate me, if my loneliness in real life makes you hate me, if the fact that I wish I could have friends makes you hate me, then fucking hate me and be done with it."

eta: F_W is not your therapist. If you can't lol at a wank maybe you need to go for a walk. I thought this was funny. lol sociopath.

Fuck it. What's another dogpiling.

I miss when we could have posts like these and people would talk about strange things our dogs have eaten or whatever instead of complaint after complaint about it being "unfunny". It's not like we get many posts these days with HP and Twilight mostly confined to their own comms. There was what - seven posts in all of September? I think we should lighten up on the "unfunny".

FYI: Recipes and boobie trains (especially the boobie trains) aren't funny either.

What about recipes for cakes shaped like boobies?

Or boobies with recipes written on them?

Or a train of boobies?

Yes, seven posts in fandom_wank, compared to 3 in otf_wank, 9 in sparklefield and 42 in unfunnybusiness.

Here, have a graph of posting statistics.

Are you arguing that the wank should actually be funny, or that if it isn't funny, people who say so are meanies and should just pretend it's hysterical to mock people in crummy life situations so they don't harsh anyone's buzz?

Because if it's the former, I agree. If it's the latter, ew.

Pretty much THIS.

And I think it may be scaring off people who do want to post a wank when every other wank gets called unfunny, or people start making tl:dr comments about their own life. Also I think the spin-off comms have affected things. Yes, so what if there were a ton of Twilight-related posts? A few years ago there were a ton of Harry Potter posts, and before that there were a ton of Lord of the Rings posts, that what happens when there's a popular fandom. Shunting it off into a separate comm reduces the number of posts here.

And bah, I'm getting unfunny damn kids get off my lawn

Remember when this place didn't have impossibly high standards for "funny"?

That said, though, I actually feel bad for the secret poster. Drama queen, yes, but she didn't deserve such a dogpiling. :/

This. It's really starting to feel to me that a lot of the stuff that the comm as a whole just pointed and laughed at even a year or so ago would get dubbed 'unfunny' if something of the sort was posted now. Yeah, okay, some of the things that end up here really aren't funny for whatever reason, but it's getting to the point where it seems that every other wank that's posted gets slammed as 'unfunny' for some reason or another. Can't we lighten up a bit?

I like the recipes on the posts that are actually unfunny! At least if a post isn't funny, it can still be tasty. But yeah, I miss the days when we could actually find some things funny. The standards are too high.

SIGNED. The relevance of this comm is diminishing hella fast, and I think it's a lot in part due to all the bitching over what qualifies for posting. Some of the most memorable wanks (in my mind) were things where there was actually something at stake, even if that something wasn't lol-a-fucking-minute.

I just don't know why it's so hard to understand that ALL wank is going to be unfunny and painful to SOMEONE, or people wouldn't be wanking over it.

Instead of accepting this and maybe realising that it's not for you anymore and possibly LEAVING if you think wank has a funny to unfunny ratio of 1-6, somehow the solution to this is bullying everyone else into doing what YOU want.

I realise that goes for people against unfunnybusiness, as well, that is why I am basically never here anymore and NEVER look at that comm. But at least I don't go over there leaving a zillion comments saying "OMG THIS IS SO UPLIFTING, YOU MUST DELETE THIS AND POST IT TO HILARIOUS_WANK!" and then starting my own little war if people don't do it.

A good percentage of what was posted a few years ago would get slammed as 'unfunny'. It really started at otf_wank, which used to encourage all sorts of discussions about the topic, debates, arguments and so forth. Then a few things got posted that were truly awful, and people started getting twitchy about it...and rapidly anything that referred to racism, sexism or similar got screamed at. I remember several things I thought were hilarious and so did the first few replies got 'oh my god NOT FUNNY GUYS' and suddenly dogpile/recipes. Even if the people in the wank acted foolishly, if the topic was serious, watch out.

So now, people don't post or post in unfunnybusiness. It makes me wonder why the mood of the comm changed so very drastically. In unfunnybusiness, there is crazy dogpiling anyone who argues the party line, even just to debate it a little bit (the recent 'trigger warnings' wank was a good example of this). And...there are lots of places on the internet that do this, but I do wonder what made journalfen of all places one of them.
