: RPS Wank: Destroying my hope for humanity, one idiot at a time.
This is an entry in Leadensky's LJ. And lo, it is a wanky entry. Leadensky felt the need to share hir views regarding RPS with the world. Ze doesn't like RPS, oh no precious, though it should be noted that ze has no such qualms regarding FPS/FPF.
( Snipped below are some choice bits of rhetoric, for those who don't feel like wading through the entire entry. )
So, it's entirely possible that I'm misinterpreting, but the tone of the entry appears to imply that while chanslash/pedophiliafic/twincest in HP etc. are morally wrong, there is something... Extra-loathesome about RPS/RPF. I don't want to answer one moral judgement with another. I'm just here for the drinks, the boobies, and of course, the massive allburning war that inevitably will erupt in comments.
The preceding link represents Round One of this RPS Argument. A couple of our own-![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif)
shoiryu and eljuno- step in with what looks to me like a relatively amiable response to an inflammatory subject. The OP then makes the mistake of invoking Fandom_Wank- always happy to oblige, by the way- and informs eljuno that he can 'tell his buds' that 'this LJ is *NOT* going to become a battleground'.
Little bit too late, there. The rest of that thread continues civilly enough, which may have something to do with people going to sleep and waking up with less vitriol. Subsequent threads, however, show that the orouboros is far from finished.
Here, se_parsons brings up the tinhats as exemplars of the wrongness of RPS.
And here, purplepopple wants Shoiryu to name names!
In this thread, sa_parsons continues her discussion.
This goes on and on. For twoish pages of comments. People come and go, and some are more coherent and some are less. There are obligatory anonymice, and some gratuitous mudslinging.
I leave the rest, gentle readers, to you.
