1:15am: Harry Potter = Tool of the Patriarchy
I snagged this from a mouse at
wank_report. Report copied verbatim, except for links added.
Kethylia
doesn't like Harry Potter.
"No. Shit. It's like Star Wars (another franchise I enjoy only in my most self-hating moments) and ten million other male wish-fulfillment fantasies done over and over again throughout history. What makes Harry Potter especially repulsive is that it was created by a woman, which means, in writing these books, that she is complicit in her own oppression."
Vampirycyoda, a fan of the HP books,
says that s/he likes them: "I know, but by the same toekn I know what I like and I like Harry Potter, and Star Wars. I honestly don't think I'd care even if I belived they were harmful. When it comes to etertainment, if I like it, that's all I need to know,"
Kethylia: "So says the guy who looks at the pictures of naked little girls. ^_~ "Harm" is a fascinating issue as well and not always as clear-cut as the layperson thinks it is."
So HP fans are like pedophiles, in a way.
There's also some fascinatingly stupid stuff by
someone who thinks that the X chromosome makes you able to understand women.
10:58am: Millyfan Wank
From an anon on Wank Report:
Celesma
posts a Trigun fic on the Trinut Forums. Lady Shadowcat doesn't like the fic and a guest (sockpuppet of Millyfan?) shows up to bitch at her. Millyfan then shows up, wank ensues.
Lady Shadowcat edits her some of her wanky posts to hide the evidence and an admin edits some of Millyfan's posts to hide the wank there too. Celesma shows up, tells everyone to shut up, and peace reigns.
For awhile, anyway. I'm not sure what this anon is going on about on
the third page but it could pick back up soon.
ETA: Ok,
who trolled? (Scroll down, it's the last post)
5:20pm: Arrested Development Fans > You.
Got the okay from
wankprophet to bring this over from
clairvoyantwank:
From the E!Online boards yesterday morning,
losmaven, a fan of
Arrested Development that is bitter about its cancellation, has a THERE-I-SAID-IT moment:
Because I watch Arrested Development, I'm a better person than those who do not. You actually have to be an idiot not to like it. I don't want to hear about different tastes and whatnot. If you don't "get" that show, there something wrong with you. It's true... I may sound like a television elitist and that's fine. Because the fact that I enjoy Arrested Development makes it true.And when someone suggests he was being facetious, he expounds, apparently with a total lack of irony:
I'm sure there are "smart" people who don't like Arrested Development
. But these people are just book smart. I don't care if you come back to me and say you're a brain surgeon or a physisist. That doesn't mean anything to me. For those who do enjoy AD you probably understand the difference between "Smart" and just "Book smart"
I'm actually not kidding.When someone calls him on his charming attitude
here, he goes on to clarify:
I'm not saying that it's the most intellectually stimulating thing ever... I'm saying that Arrested Development
only seems to stimulate the intelligent.Okay!
5:48pm: Yu-Gi-Ho!
So, I put the search string "Seto Kaiba murder suicide" into Yahoo because I was looking for a dark fic I'd read a while ago.
What do I get?
Yu-Gi-Ho! I thought it was satire at first, especially the 'armor' section. I hoped it was satire, I prayed (insofar as an atheist can pray) that it was satire. Unfortunately, as the responses make clear, the guy was completely serious.
And of course, a variety of
satisfied/unsatisfied customers.The first link is the actual article, the second is the responses to the article. The guy who wrote the article replies to the responses in big blue font.
The responses basically alternate between people that are convinced that Yu-Gi-Oh (especially the TCG) is a tool of evil, and between people I'd like to kick off my side, such as:
Anonymous: You people shouldn't be allowed to breed cause you might create monsters.Your up there on the list with Asoma Ben Laden and Sadamn Hussien. No!! Your worse. Sadamn and Asoma had resons for doing what they were doing but you people don't." Remember, he's in favor of Yu-Gi-Oh and thinks people speaking against it are as bad as 'Sadamn' (no puns please) and Asoma.
Mhm, Naruto. Oh wait, wrong fandom.( Other highlights: ) Remember kiddies,
KnK is an occult website, there are at least
twelve reasons not to see the HP movies (and no, none of them have to do with the actual movie's quality), and Yugi
prays to Yami, who as his dark side is obviously the devil (oh noes!).
11:56pm: Nice girls and mean girls
campfollower has divided fandom into two easy groups, pick yours!In other news: everything is either black or white, and if you're not with me, you are my enemy. Or Obi-wan.
