Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

6:24pm: "Hate memes are so last week. Get with the program, kthx."
New wanker aboard, so use the good lube this time, not that greasy shit.

Despite the fact that Queer as Folk has been dead and gone for over a year now, the wank continues, as some genius decides it's time for a "What You Hated About QaF" meme, complete with threats to ZOMG FRIEND AND ANNOY anyone who points that this person is, in fact, a douche. Which is a mostly empty threat, besides, seeing as the journal has already friended all of the LJs still participating to whatever degree in the fandom. Naturally, hilarity ensues.

Even though qaf_hate (the moment I saw that username on my flist, I knew it was trouble) threatened friending, death_in_paris and feei still spout the very thing this person was obviously expecting to hear. (And did get friended, just as promised!)

Some people (oddly anonymous, go figure) use the meme for what it's for: bitching about the show's creators', Cowlip, ineptitude.

Others try to taunt qaf_hate right back, pointing out that you can't friend an anonymouse, bitches!

Another anonymouse admits to Gale Harold!Love peer pressure, opining that she only pretends to like the lead actor of the show because all of his/her friends would defriend them if they didn't. A discussion about what kind of true friends can't love someone despite their opinions that Gale is fug and can't act is struck up.

quinnpowers waxes nostalgic, blacksatinrose wonders what took so long, and an anonymouse stirs the shitpot by wondering who the worst QaF fanfic writer is, and it's all downhill from there, including an anonymouse who brings up the age-old battle between the Brian/Justin and Brian/Mikey shippers, possibly causing the whole fandom to collectively groan in a "not again" type of fashion. There's also a knock on the RPS side of the fandom, the even touchier subject of UK QaF vs. US QaF, and... uh, Randy Harrison's lips.

And quinnpowers gets bonus points for a Clerks reference.

This goes on for four pages, 753 comments upon this post, and is likely going to grow before it's over. I loved the show, even the decidedly crappy last couple of seasons, but there's probably a reason this fandom is going under.

9:58pm: The word "pee-pee" - let's use the right term, people!
It's only a mini-wank, but it seems wanky enough to go right here rather than to clairvoyantwank - you know, since the size of the wank shouldn't matter, just the motion of the...well, you get the idea.

More importantly, I thought we could all use some mommy wank that was actually fandom related and had nothing to do with boobies breastfeeding.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Nick Jr's Wonder Pets! - it's a show about three photo-puppeted classroom pets who go around the world helping baby animals in trouble. Examples include a baby pigeon stuck on the Statue of Liberty's nose, a baby elephant with his trunk stuck in the mud in the jungle, and a chimpanzee in space. Like many other children's shows, it's set to music, in this case, opera, and all the dialogue is sung. It has the requisite theme songs that kids will repeat ad nauseum and cutesy message about helping others in trouble.

The Wonder Pets have flown their flying boat past the Sphinx, the Swiss Alps, into outer space, and to Hawaii, but one baby animal in trouble has a less glamorous problem. It's a puppy stuck in the kitchen, and he needs to go outside to pee. As Ming-Ming would say, "This is serious!"

Parents on the Nick Jr message boards take issue with the fact that the word "pee-pee" was used in the episode, and all the tl;dr excerpts are behind the cut. Although some of the posts were back in March, people are still commenting through April, May, and June on the same issues.
