Welcome to the Wank Parade
nicked from the very long comment at [info]wank_report, with thanks to the mouse.

Bandom darlings My Chemical Romance broke up according to their website. Their drummer Bob Bryar has left the band. People leave bands all the time, but that never stops people from pouring dirt on their heads, or beating their breasts, or making long bitchy comments on livejournal.

There is a post in [info]chemicalromance. It's mostly variations of SADFACE and OMG HOW WILL I STUDY FOR MIDTERMS NOW? Peppered by the occasional WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU ASSHOLES? THEY OWE YOU NOTHING. Rinse. Blather. Repeat.

Until [info]inkandchaos goes a little dipsydoodle:



"Y'know, I'm really fucking sick of these people looking down their noses at the rest of us and talking about "entitlement".

We, the fans who buy their music and merch and concert tickets, are the ones that PAY THEIR FUCKING SALARIES, so they can take two years off and live it up in L.A. Damn right we are entitled. Just the same way that if you lie about being sick when you're really at the beach and your boss finds out about it, he is ENTITLED to fire your lying ass. After all the bullshit about Bob being MCR's savior, about all the interminable prattling about how much MCR "cares about their fans", we are entitled to a STRAIGHT answer about the Australia cancellations, and we are definitely entitled to a better fucking announcement than one that's mostly an advertisement for their next album.

And I'm pretty damn sure that all the pussies talking about "entitlement" would be singing a FAR different tune if it was their favorite who'd been booted out of the band. So why don't you shut the fuck up, and let us MOURN IN OUR OWN FUCKING WAY. Thank you very much. :P"

Sticking out her tongue at the end shows she was just joshing? Except that when people try to reason with her she doesn't fucking care. She wants her pound of flesh or something.

This exchange in that thread is also pretty hilarious. And [info]vanypixiedust decides to take her sour grapes to the next page.

"Some girls here put the band in a pedestal, want to give them crowns for their hard work. I'm sorry to say this but that girls have never seen reality from other places in the world, where people works all day and night to have something to eat next day."

And she knows what these other girls have seen because she is psychic? (English is her second language, btw.)

And oh, lookie! [info]inkandchaos is also back on page 4:

"While I have no need to continue to bicker with the slavering fangirls, the apologists and the willfully naive, I WOULD like to give a shout-out to the thirty-odd people who messaged me privately to thank me for having the balls to speak my mind."

HER BALLS: MANY
MCR BALLS: ZERO
MCR-FEN BALLS: ONLY IN EMAIL

But if you click on [info]inkandchaos's myspace link in her LJ profile your brains get ate by a zombie. See? she's totes whimsical and has BALLS.

Can you imagine if there was a Hamlet fandom and they all freaked out when Fortinbras is the only on left standing at the end. All the Rosencratz/Guildenstern shippers would hate Hamlet and all the fans would kill themselves at the end of every production, except like Rocky Horror Picture show suicides, with retracting daggers and spurting ketchup.

Also, I am somewhat ashamed to admit that my interest has been piqued by the mention of Rosencrantz/Guildenstern shippers.

So, by letting someone buy your album you sign a job contract with them? Good to know! I always thought that buying an album or a concert ticket entitles you to, you know, listen to the album or go to the concert. I should have read the fine print, dammit! I order Freddie Mercury to not die!

Ahhhhh, I love the smell of entitled music fans in the morning.

I saw this shit all the time when I was still a Duranie--we pays them their monies and they OWES us! Apparently the CD they got when they bought the album or the show they got when they bought a concert ticket WASN'T ENOUGH.

For you to sit there and type away with all your polysyllabic low-frequency lexis and act like you're being denied your human rights because a band won't tell you why their drummer left is the equivalent of throwing a tantrum in the supermarket because mommy won't buy you the latest My Little Pony.

BUT MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

So...wait. The band isn't actually breaking up? This sturm and drang is all just over the drummer? (No offense to any drummers out there, but if Spinal Tap has taught me anything it's that there's always another drummer.:)

If bandom is carrying on like this now I'd hate to see what would happen if Gerard Way ever decided to write comics full-time. There'd be blood in the streets.

So...I'm assuming there's going to be an influx of MCR buttsecks fic wherein the drummer returns for some sweet, sweet loving.

Or he left because of some not so sweet, sweet loving.

Personally, I thought that this comment was a little special - she kind of compares this happening and a goalie who committed suicide last November.

Annnnd this is why I stay away from the main bandom like it's on fire. I much prefer mourning (Bob's departure, but also the potential delay of the album and cancellation of shows) without bickering and sniping and I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE YELLING arguments. The smaller corners are so much more respectful, I promise!

Aw, jeez. I was sitting here thinking, "inkandchaos sounds awfully familiar.... Have I seen her around fandom?" And then I went and looked at her LJ profile and realized, no, I've never run into her in fandom, but I have met her in RL (sortof). We have a friend in common and I met inkandchaos at DragonCon a couple of years ago. And yes, she was indeed an asshat in RL, too. Oy.

Gotta love the sense of entitlement that some music fans have.

I can't remember where I read it but I am almost certain that I read somewhere that most bands & musicians only really make money off of their tours. That they don't really make a lot of money off the CDs and DVDs.

So by that logic, I highly doubt she can even claim she's come close to paying their salary. Unless of course inkandchaos has gone to every single MCR concert in the last eight years.
