1:38am: X-Men 3 wank
So, over at IMDb, that bastion of asshattery, there is a thread entitled
HOW COME GAMBIT ISN'T IN X-MEN 3 wherein STUMP805 asks just that, adding that s/h/it loves him and AKJOFEIFHAWs him (seriously, but just kidding).
Replies include "F U C K Gambit," discussion of the merits of the cartoon vs. the movies, and "You're a pussy ass dick head!" (which totally comes out of nowhere).
Likewise, there is a another thread discussing Gambit, aptly titled
GAMBIT! in which responses go from "I hope God kills you" to accusations of stupidity in under ten posts. Apparently there's been Gambit spamming in the forums and the anti-Gambits don't like it.
Bonus.I'm sure there's more, but my soul starts to shrivel if I stay there too long. I got what I went there for, which was to see if Beast would be in the the movie, and indeed he will be!
12:39pm: Caina: JKR's husband isn't REALLY sick! She's just hiding from us!
Caina says JKR is pretending her husband's sick so as to avoid Harmonians.
Here.
I don't know why this should floor me - after all Caina's adventures - but it does. Maybe because it's getting into the insane obsession with personal lives territory?
ETA. Caina comments on her tagboard, utterly underestimating FW, me thinks.Caina: Some prick spammed the poll. 347 votes in so little time? I think not. How utterly pathetic. I'm tempted to remove the "her husband really was ill" option to be spiteful, but I won't.
( Lots More Including: 'I think what most people are forgetting is that if I wasn't willing to give her the benefit of the doubt then I wouldn't have included the option about her husband being really ill. I could very easily have left that out, but I didn't. Unfortunately those fools are unable to understand/see that.' )
5:24pm: Scans_daily: why can't we all just read and understand the user info?
Today, on a special episode of
scans_daily: slash wank. (Again.)
Jeepers! The lascivious villain
teh_no has
posted femslash scans and fantasized about group girl sex! Nooooo!!! Who will save us all from the implied gay?
This looks like a job for our
wankers heroes:
Together, they
get their asses handed to them by the slashers FIGHT SUBTEXT!!
ETA: Now with special guest star,
the mod!
8:06pm:
Cereta recently posted a
rant on fandom and male privilege, prompted in part by a
fanficrants post complaining that fandom doesn't actively try to recruit more male members.
The post spawned more than 700 comments, largely positive, and some interesting discussion (and in some cases, bizarre discussion, as in the case of
an anon poster who expresses outrage at a heartbreaking instance in fandom in which a poor man was actually forced to pretend to be a woman because he didn't think he'd be afforded the same male privilege there he received everywhere else).
The real wank, however, starts when
houster_gold shows up to
explain that television is actually a female-dominated medium dripping with misandry. All the research and experts on the subject back him up - he won't point to anything, of course, because anyone who doesn't realize what an underrepresented minority men on television are is too stupid to be worth his time (except to argue with while not providing documentation of his claims ad nauseam, apparently), but it's true, goddammit! Everyone knows it!
It starts off slow, but quickly progresses, up to and including rather hysterica
homophobia accusations when a poster objects to
houster_gold patronizingly referring to her as "honey."
You also don't want to miss
houster_gold returning to his own LJ to
rant about how women control not only television, but also the world at large.
