12:53am: oh no! not *defriending!*

OK i don't know much about the fandom Without A Trace and this came to me from friends of friends so bear with me.

Seems like there's a new girl in town on the show that is threatening the Sacred Slash Pairing of WaT and many slash fans feel she must be punished for existing and being hot/annoying/etc.  Thus we have the lovely community of die_elena_die  filled with such compassionate thoughts such as

( The many ways in which whorebitch should die: )</i>

Some people in the fandom think a disturbing number of fans are going a bit off the deep end.  The idea of misogyny is mentioned among other things.  nekosmuse is on her flist, happens to be one of these haters, and flips out at the misogynist label.  she immediately informs tanzy she's been defriended and demands tanzy defriend her in turn.  Then nekosmuse posts a public entry to her own journal where she's all upset and naming names so that everyone can share in her hurt feelings.

10:36am: Roleplaying and Children...
[Damn...closed the wrong window, and lost my original attempt at posting this. *curses quick-fingers*]

...or won't someone think of the Roleplayers?

It all started innocently enough, with halloweenboy asking in Roleplayers...

This is a gaming issue that I don't see mentioned at all. My wife and I both rp and I know here in St. Louis there are a few other couples with kids. Since we hold most of our games in our house we don't usually get a babysitter but I have been invited to play in other games and my wife would like to join me but we don't have easy access to a babysitter and I would not think that it would be polite to bring the little one along. Does anyone else have this issue or is this a very rare issue? Just kind of a brainstorming issue...

First comment, the cf_hardcore people strike! blacktigr brings out the child-beating bat with this...

I've only been in one game where there were children in the place. The group never got anywhere. And if you're that couple that never gets a babysitter and has them running around the table...I hate you.

Get a babysitter. One day a week. It shouldn't be that hard.

And it's off! So much so, that the original poster EDITS his post to include this:

EDIT: I would prefer answers from regular people, no members of cf_hardcore who seem to have an agenda to spread...thanks

Which sets blacktigr off again, as she is unhappy with the edit.

I'm personally amused by the people who keep talking about their gaming being SERIOUS BUSINESS and that they'd never bring a child along to a WHITE WOLF game. ADULTS ONLY OMG.

I've played White Wolf games. Maybe I just was never so OMG HARDCORE into the silly (inconsistent) world WW keeps creating.
