1:38pm: World of Warcraft uber-wank
I'm really surprised I haven't seen this on here yet, so I guess it falls to me.

Blizzard reprimands a player for advertising her guild as "GLBT friendly"; all hell breaks loose.

This is actually showing up on every forum and blog with even the slightest connection to gaming, but I've chosen the official forum because Blizzard deleted the first three threads that mentioned the issue, and we have to reward persistence, now don't we?

I can't figure out how to link to specific posts in the thread, so have some choice quotes behind this cut.Read more... )
Anyway, it goes on like that for another twenty pages. I know I'm supposed to do a full report, but frankly it's making me kind of sick. Blizzard remains silent on the issue, and eventually locks the thread when it devolves into a discussion about sandwiches. Liberals are generally canceling their accounts, moderates are generally disturbed but figure it's not a big deal, and Blizzard can do whatever they want since it's their game, and conservatives are generally continuing to not understand why anyone would be gay in the first place.
8:03pm: No More One Big Happy Weasley Family
Gacked from a mouse on Wank Report. What happens when R/Hr shippers and H/G shippers fight?"

A short but amazingly passive-agressive wank. People are "offended" that H/G is left off Author-By-Night's list of canon pairings. My favourite line comes from [info]rhrsoulmates: Thank you author_by_night for at least admitting you weren't doing it against H/G shippers because we see too much of that around the fandom.

And here I thought it was the Harmonians being persecuted.

ETA: Some mice didn't think this was wanky enough for their tastes so they brought their own wank. Here and Here, most of it, and it's being discussed on [info]wankitywank here. Have fun.
11:03pm: Announcing *trumpets and all that* a new community for the nice mice:

[info]anon_no_more where anonymous posters can ask paid users to request accounts for them. The community has been approved by the JF admin and is good to go. How to go about asking is spelled out in the user info.

So for all you long-suffering nonny mice posters who have longed for icons of your own, have at it.
