: Alright, I give in. You’re all wanky- Congratulations.
So over in the Buffy/Angel fandom, there are a bunch of people who really, really don’t like each other, and yet cannot seem to stop reading each other’s entries, and taking everything they find therein as personal attacks.
On Monday, Jennyo posted a discussion thread on race and fanfic. It’s not really wanky, though some people later take offence at her over generalizing.
Some other people LJ on the subject, some thoughtfully, some defensively. But things don’t really heat up until JaneDavitt posts.
Glossing gets upset when, as part of the larger post on race and fandom, Jane highlights the fact that Gloss complained that a one-off character with three lines of dialogue doesn’t get any fandom love, apparently because he’s coded as “really gay,” and fandom is misogynistic… wait, I think I crossed my wank streams there.
Glossing responds. No commenting allowed!
Jennyo posts. No commenting allowed! She also uses the word “evil” twice.
Ashlyn26 decides to jump in. No commenting allowed! But only because they started it.
Ros_fod gives us some background on Gloss.
Swmbo responds.
I’m sure there’s a lot more. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot more. You all hate each other. We get it.
