2:11am: Australian Idol Wankfest
Last night (tonight?) on the Australian Idol Live Eviction, our latest evictee begged the nation to "stop being mean" on the forums, because the contestents read them.

So naturally, I had to go there and laugh. And mock. And point.

And I wasn't disappointed. Apparently, the official forums form a congaline of wank.

Let's start at the general discussion. Conspiracy theories ahoy! Check out the contestant's family spreading teh hate, OMG, the judges like the people they can market better than the people they can't!!11!, and is Anothony gay?????

Conspiracy theories continue in Anthony's forum (OMG, he's got Italian heritage so it's THE MAFIA!!!11!), Courtney and Casey have people saying "If you want to know why [they are] so fat"...

...and this is without going into the New Weekly article that talked about how the judges will cause one of the contestants to kill themselves eventually (seriously).

Ahh, Idol. Who said American Idol is the only franchise with wank?

4:55pm: FMA Almost-Wank
I don't know how wanky this is - it doesn't have anything in terms of insult throwing, but I thought the original rant itself was fairly wanky, and there's always the potential that someone will be horribly offended.

Someone posts in FM Alchemist that he doesn't understand people who write yaoi and shounen ai HagaRen fanworks.

Some people agree that the proliferation of m/m works in the fandom is off-putting. (And a discussion about the definition of shouta versus that of pedophilia ensues.)

Dissenting but polite voices point out that HagaRen does not lend itself to any pairings whatsoever, and so to say that shounen ai and yaoi are out of the question seems a bit off.

( I nearly forgot to add that the OP establishes that it's odd that he doesn't understand yaoi and shounen ai, because he's transgendered. )

10:12pm: Does it count as wank if one side has no idea of the controversy they've set off?

Neva Chonin writes an article for San Fransico Chronicle Young Gay Men. Young Gay Men Having Sex about women who like to watch Queer as Folk.

Fortunately, Paul Alley is there to set her straight on how female sexuality works.

QaF and slash fans get really really pissed and start a lj/letter to the editor/petition dear_mralley.
