3:13am: WE ARE OTAKIN! HEAR US ROAR!
OH!
This has to be seen to be believed!On OTHERKIN, of all places. I guess it could be worse, the OP could have posted
it on Something Awful or Portal of Evil.
No, Otakin will not be ignored, Dan! Just laughed at a lot.
3:13pm: You know what our problem is? Falling standards.
Did you know that LJ users are expected to maintain strict standards of fannish decorum at all time? At least, that's what
selenitatis seems to think. When
rageprufrock posts on her private journal about the most recent episode of
House,
selenitatus takes offense at the post's frivolous tone:
While it's hard to object to pure joyous fangirling, I can't help but be truly shocked and frankly a bit disappointed to hear "there's probably another plot and stuff" out of you. I've respected you greatly in the past and was hoping that I would find some of the depth desperately lacking elsewhere here. Not only did I not, but you seem to be validating the shallowness that other, lesser writers are flaunting.Remember, kids: Your LJ is a valuable public service. And medically-shoddy-yet-highly-entertaining doctor shows are, as always, Serious Business.
9:19pm: HP Fandom is Run by Fandom Wank!
Sequel to the big pureblood racism wank ahoy!
Ishtar79 blames Fandom Wank. Other posters agree. Apparently, we're intolerant of any meta that mentions "WWII, racist organizations, and Lucius Malfoy" (unless we write it),
FW members can get away with anything in HP fandom, and we
break Snacky's Law on a regular basis, but
snacky is a hypocrite and lets us do it.
