Go Puck yourself: Glee wank.
Glee, by its very definition, is about opening yourself up to joy. That, or it refers to a new television show that follows a high school glee club, made up of a bunch of mismatched students.

The wank revolves around an ongoing Glee Club Survivor poll, in which members of [info]gleeclub vote off their least-favorite characters one round at a time, so that their favorite will be the last one standing. Sounds fun in theory, but in practice it provides a perfect petri dish in which to culture some character-bashing wank.

One character in particular is getting more heat than everyone else.

You guessed it - Puck, the show's equal-opportunity jerk. The dude is polarizing among Glee fans; there are those that love him, and those that love to hate him.

And wank ensues.

[info]broken_eraser declares THE PUCK LOVE IN THIS FANDOM IS MAKING ME SICK.

[info]scornedsaint adds: GO AWAY PUCK, AND TAKE YOUR QUESTIONABLE CONSENT WITH YOU.

It only goes downhill from there. [info]biggerbeans trolls the other comments, particularly those that are supporting Puck. Basic summary of all hir posts: GTFO PUCK. [info]biggerbeans then decides that the overwhelming force of fangirly tweens is the only thing keeping Puck afloat in the poll... or something like that. (Of course, others disagree with that generalization, but [info]biggerbeans has yet to find them, it seems).

In fact, after being fed some thoughts on yaoi, [info]biggerbeans trolls so hard that people start bracing themselves for hir appearance and s/he is asked to stop replying to comments. Someone else dares biggerbeans to flounce. Finally s/he decides to go DIAF.

On a side note, apparently screening comments is akin to supporting rape. (I wish I could see the screened comments; this remark might make more sense in context).

Aside from the trolling, there's a helpful guide as to how fans should vote, calling anyone who likes four other characters "obviously idiotic and completely daft."

So who's going to win? Mischa Collins, of course. Because wank always comes back to Supernatural.

Some extra credit reading: this wank apparently started in a now-deleted post on [info]gleeclub, which led to the creation of [info]glee_meta. This post contains some not-so-wanky discussion the topic of questionable consent.
