12:42pm: fandom_scruples is back!
Fandom_Scruples returns, with, unfortunately, a rather boring post.

It looks as if some elements of the Harry Potter Fandom have collapsed in on itself and I have to say I'm not surprised.

I can only assume this is a reference to the new installment of DV having gone up yesterday.

...a couple of people who have defended on many occassion their 'right' to promote what many of us feel is inappropriate fanfic about a series of Children's books. (Yes, they are children's books.)

Despite, you know, the AUTHOR saying that they aren't. But whatever you like, f_s. Whatever you like.

For those who wonder why this journal still exists, it is mainly this reason. Secret Society? Indeed, but we are more than happy to keep to ourselves.

Which totally fits in with their "crusading against Moral Wrongs!!" attitude. You know, if you sit around, don't participate in discussion, and deliver judgement from your corner of the sky, people will worship you do what you say!

4:03pm: Mmm, Halo wank!
Attention all girl gamers! schroe would like you to know that YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL!!!:

You're a girl who plays games? Fantastic. That doesn't give you a reason to press your breasts in everyone's faces.

...Look, if you're girl gamer, great, I'm happy for you, I am, too. It does not make you so special that it can be the only content, or the focus of your post. It does not give you the right to assume that men want to have sex with you the moment you say you're female. If does not give you the right to thrust your gender into everyone's faces. This is the internet, land of anonimity, the moment you announce yourself as a specific label, you're giving yourself up to stereotypes. Please stop being GIRL gamers and just be GAMERS.

Sadly, she's disabled comments on the post, which limits the wank potential but probably makes her more inherently wanky. This was apparently in response to a post last night on the Red vs Blue lj community advertising a community for girl Halo players. The post has since been deleted, so I've no idea what the comm was or what the precise wording was. But you can enjoy an earlier post that began, "i'm a girl who loves halo and rvb. you may now pick up your jaws" where schroe and others partake in, er, "spirited debate" about gender and videogames.

Fun for all! Especially, y'know, all those girl gamers who go around smashing their breasts in everyone's faces. How come I've never met one?

(Edited because I realized Schroe's actually a girl. Whoops.)

5:38pm: A Yaoi (Slam dunk, specifically) Wank I found 10 minutes ago...
While checking the Pit of Voles, I came across this...

This looks like your average girl bashing fic made by a rabid yaoi fangirl...

Well, it is. Until you reach the reviews. Lots of yaoi bashing, anti-yaoi bashing, fangirl idiocy, etc. etc.

Do I haver to mention that this dumbass author also has a whiny-ass non-chapter where she bitches about the reviews? And that she has fics that directly violate the ToS? (Hey, you don't have to like the non NC-17 policy, but it's Xing's site and you have to play by HIS rules).

Damn, how I loathe those rabid yaoi fanbrats that give us sane yaoi fangirls (Yes, people, we exist) a bad rep...

6:35pm: World of...Wank?
Anyone who's been to the official World of Warcraft forums knows full well that even on a good day, the place is nothing more than a festering pit of wank waiting to happen. Just open up any thread, and the locals are whining about one thing or the other being in need of nerfing or love.

Just like any other MMO BBS.

Until today.

Today all hell silly breaks loose as a post that many speculate to be a personal beef misposted to the forums runs nuts with wank. A wank born of...barely being behind someone in levelling.

Somewhere, a Gnome cries as a rogue leaves them in the "dust". Funny thing, too, because she's this whiny about being left not even 1/4 of a level behind someone. Imagine if they'd REALLY got above her.

The community at large lets loose on "her" for the misplaced and really really sad post. Look for such wonderful highlights as "Looks like someone's baggage train crashed", "nerf girls" and "as the gnome turns", a new soap opera based on teh crazy unleashed.

World of Wank ahoy.

Edit: Also, Hi Ellery, I know you're reading this. Much love for pointing out teh crazy. :D

11:18pm: From the remote outposts of fandom . . .
I bring you C.O.P.S. wank. Not the real life Fox show that features half-naked drug-addled losers being slammed to the pavement by the week's featured over-testosteroned cops, but the eighties cartoon with "Cops . . . fighting crime . . . in a future time!" I know I used to watch it, but sadly all details beyond the name of the main dude (Bulletproof Vest (and what did they call him for short? Bullet? Proof? Letpro? Big Daddy V? Hmmm)) have gone the way of most of the math I learned in high school and college.

Ahem, anyway.

In a fit of nostalgia and a nudge from moodslime towards the Fraggle Rock theme (don't ask), I stumbled upon a veritable spreadsheet of wank. It starts with the profound comment "Gayest thing fox ever aired" and picks up steam from there, heading full-bore into "To the person who said this cartoon was 'gay,' You are gay!", accusations of pedophilia, and at the center of it all, a troll named Jiff Spiffer, who provides the amusement as people keep poking him.
