Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
Entry tags:awesome writeup is awesome, community: fanficrants

Friends, Ranters, Fandom Wank, lend me your ears
In [info]fanficrants, [info]madirose brings to light
Her gentle cousin Angie's troubling plight
Her recourse: to review with a request
For author to remove offending text.
When author's friend responds, it makes one cringe
And this is where [info]fanficrants comes unhinged
Some sympathize while still others decry
[info]madirose for her entitled reply
The wanking in this post soon overflows
And to a post in ffrantsrants it goes
Where every point of view's rehashed again
Until it lands on [info]sf_drama then.

This is a case where butthurt spreads with speed.
For those that thought "too long, and didn't read."

Thanks to a mousey for the heads-up.

A+ write-up, too.

HAH.

One I actually got to see, though I did feel sympathetic for her cousin, at least for feeling hurt. It sounded like the whole thing was a game of telephone where the message gets louder and worse every time someone passes it on.

I like the writeup.

I do not understand the wank. Someone got mad about something a fictional character said? So... authors aren't allowed to write any character who holds any opinion that may upset someone? Or was it that the story itself agreed with the assy thing the character said? I got the impression that it was the mere fact of the character saying it that upset someone, though, in which case wow.

Again, we don't know how the character was played out, if they were clearly a villian saying these things, that would be different. If it's a "good" character saying these things, and not being called on it by anyone else, then it does become problematic as part of the normalization of misogyny in modern society.

OH NOES, because good characters can't be flawed or else they wouldn't be good! That would make them villains, and villains are evil! And we can't have that!

This is making my hangover even worse from all the brow furrowing. Dislike. >:|

If you wankers have offended
drink but this and all is mended
That you have but wanked in here
While these straw men did appear.
And this weak and idle rant,
No more yielding than Immanuel Kant,
Gentles, do not froth and spit:
If you pardon, we don't give a shit.
And, as I am an honest Wanka,
If we have unearned rancor
Now to 'scape the butthurt whiners,
We will LOL as long as they aren't minors;
Else the Wanka a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be hyenas,
Or go blow it out your concertinas.

A+ write up!

And I think it's kind of funny how many of the sf_drama people are so amazed that there's a community out there dedicated to commenting on another community.

Um. Did I miss something?

Dammit, now I've lost the bet, thanks a lot guys! Actually, I guess I should thank the rest of that original entry for picking up wanky momentum and snowballing on to other comms, I really thought it would make CW at best.

Holy feck.

The response from the author's friend was utterly uncalled for and cruel. My own parents endured eleven years of trying and no less than three miscarriages before having a child, so I can empathise with the cousin.

However, I do agree that "the opinions of the character are not necessarily those of the author". And to think, a disclaimer saying that added to the fic would have avoided all of this. Maybe. You never can tell in the world of wank.

Normally fanficrants wanks are kind of "close your eyes and throw a stone, you'll hit one" but the artistry of the write-up makes it all worth it.

I was following that whole wankfest. I think both sides were way too extreme in their reactions. You'd think someone was killing kittens with all the rage that was going on.

And looking at it now, it seems to have exploded even more since I decided to ignore it. Wow. Awesome write up.

Still, I think the cousin was actually Angie's sock. Otherwise the cousin was a total dick.
