8:31am: A little HP troll stirs up a community.
My first post.
So over on Harry Potters fan board, a troll comes along and posts
this. Then tries to claim he didn't....then just gets insane, while posters have fun mocking him.
And the
posters start going for one another.
3:35pm: Tolkienistas!
My eyes are brimming with tears of joy. For months I've read wanks that involved slashers and fangirls, BNFs and tinhats, and I've always had this feeling that MY core fandom was being left out. I just knew that we old, staid Tolkien fans
could be wanky! I mean, who calls Peter Jackson the Butcher of Middle Earth? Who calls movie!Aragorn weak and indecisive? Who bitches that Frodo dropped his sword at Weathertop? We do! I just can't show you because it's all lost and buried on boards so poorly designed that they'll make your brain bleed.
All that potential, and I've never been able to bring home the wank until now.
( cut for slight ROTK spoilers )Thank you Pete, I <3 you.
5:01pm: Yet another furry wank...
I don't normally try to find the wank on my very own friends list, but here it was in all it's shiny glory...
Okay,
TheFerrett is one of those people who has an audience on his LJ, he knows it, he posts to it and I for one think he's smart and intelligent and funny... he also seems to document the weird shit in his life a lot better than most other people. Hence
this post concerning a time when he was approached by a furry at a con. He uses the word Puppafucker to describe this lady, is that a valid word in the furry community? Nothing to do with the wank I just wanna know.
So people try to
ed-jumicate him that furries are "not all sex fiends"Then TheFerrett posts a bit more on his opinons on furries having to deny their sexual tendancies and how inanimate objects become fetishised.
"If I came across an organization arguing that people who sell produce at Farmer's Markets aren't all actually fucking their vegetables, I'd certainly start examining my broccoflower more closely before cooking it."This results in more
educating preaching educating and the first anonymous post I saw.Then comes yet another post from TheFerrett which can be summed up by the quote
"Don't get pissed off at me because I'm misinformed. Your number-one publicity agent's a group of total psychos, and they're spreading the news as far as they can." Which I think is pretty much a fair point, for a given value of fair of course...
See everyone make epic wanksFurrydom is like being gay, in a wayAnd to prove some people have a sense of humour a direct breaking od Goodwin's lawThere's so much here, mainly from the people trying to convince everyone else that a) their point of view is the valid one and b) "I'm mature dammit!" Personally I'm coming down on TheFerrett's side... sorry furries, get better spokespeople ;)
