Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

2:19am: Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!
Got a heads up on this little wank from a friend.

Over in girl_gamers, tiffyangel has issues.

And she makes sure the comm knows that talking about gender-related issues in relation to gaming is painful and offensive.

"I deal with gender issues every single day of my life because of my field of study and because of my own personal gender; I really don't want to see them in gaming or gaming communities. While I recognize that RL issues like that do come up in games (I recently had to deal with a case of sexual harrassment in WoW...that wasn't fun), I want the issues that don't have to come up to stay hidden."

What set her off, you might ask? It seems to be this post by chicknstu, who's noticed how, in his own experience, women approach and play Sims differently than men, and it turns into discussions on how people are raised and what's expected of them and how they're conditioned to think, as well as plenty of counterarguments and people who defy his own personal observations.

And she felt that should be placed behind an LJ cut so she's not assaulted by gender issues on the Intarwebs in a public comm basically geared toward a minority gender in a hobby.

To make it better, she spells women as "womyn". Yeah.

After getting smacked around by other girl gamers for more or less 52 comments, she's back for more, throwing a stamping, squealing, OMG UR SO MEEN I'M LEAVING post in disguise, complete with an adominishment on those who didn't feel the need to speak up:

"To those who were offended by the post I responded to but didn't say anything, don't let what happened to me scare you off from voicing your opinion. It gets ugly sometimes, but that's what happens when you're in the minority. Doesn't make your feelings any less valid."

EDIT: the OMGMEEN post has been bahleeted, but was saved via a screencap provided by the lovely dark_puck.

Small, but full of that creamy, self-righteous filling of fighting the good feminist fight against all things male. So has she ever seen a mass grave?

10:21pm: Your show sucks because my completely unrelated show is so much better!
As everyone knows, the comments at YouTube are generally shining oases of reason, civility, and spelling that vaguely resembles that of the English language.

( And if you believe that, there's a lovely bridge I'd like to sell you. )

11:32pm: Ann Coulter applies to hogwarts_elite
At hogwarts_elite sorting is Serious Bizness. . They've bartended in the dark, exploded in outrage when mocked, and writhed in indignation when applicants sneakily deleted squib votes in an attempt to beat the system. And that's before we even mention "Aspberger's." Calm and placid types they ain't.

So when a rabid right winger (primary targets: gays, ethnic minorities, the poor and the mentally ill) and Voldemort fangirl applies to the community, and then proceeds to answer the question "What's one thing you would do if you knew you would suffer no consequences from it?" with the words:

Manipulate the US presidential elections in order to place myself at the head of the nation, and then alter the constitution both to give myself extraordinary powers, and to retain office for twenty years with an option for a further twenty should I so desire. I would also wish it to be that the remuneration of the role increase in order to found a family fortune of considerable dimensions, to maintain the presidential lifestyle, prestige and status into my retirement.

As President I would no longer need to consider the wearisome whinings of Congress and the Senate, but could govern with free reign and at my absolute discretion. My key policies would be as follows:

1) Enforce strict austerity measures upon the poor. It is neither helpful nor fair on any of the parties to take from one sector their hard earned monies, and then channel that via a series of state waterfalls to another societal group. To do so is to create a nexus of parasite state bodies, to sap the ambitions and entrepreneurial hungers of both sides, and to keep the poor in a perpetual state of infantilized inertia. Abolition of all politically correct initiatives to salve white guilt should also be immediately instituted; the inherent insult to all non-whites is glaringly apparent. While no minority groups should have rights withdrawn, the baffling demands of certain groups to have their lifestyles imposed upon everyone else should be resisted; nobody should be forced to accept an assault upon their traditions and beliefs. Since the habits of the bedroom should remain private, efforts to drag these into the public eye should, similarly, be firmly resisted. The exceptions should not seek to dictate the rule; most particularly the rule of law, and the agitations to the contrary are vulgar and distasteful.

2) Close all borders and promptly withdraw from all overseas military engagements that are not vital to protect US national interests. We should desire to be neither the world's policeman nor its soup kitchen, and should focus inwards before seeking to assist, protect and defend the interests of non-Americans. A working individual's pay check should not be denuded for a cause he benefits from not a whit, and the ludicrously overblown sentimentality that causes vast sums of US monies to be idly squandered upon lost and hopeless causes is a national disgrace. We should also promptly withdraw from the UN, who abuse our hospitality and our patience in equal measure.

you could justifiably predict that they'd go batshit. Only...they don't. On the whole they're fairly patient; a few even trying to gently explain that her style of interaction may be counter productive. The troll/Ann Coulter clone scores a couple of fairly spectacular own goals when she tells a woman who works in Congress to read more newspapers to overcome her political naivity, and a lawyer to stop being jealous of those with a legal education. Pride of place, however, must go to erbylikewhoa</a>, who squibs her by saying,

4. Though this perverts my previous sentiments of in-the-dark bartending, I will triumph my instinctive beliefs, rend myself pachydermous, and stick to my original statements.

7. Perhaps I have been left comose due to the nature of this application or else you may perceive me as simply viraginous, but to say that you have no disingenuous desires (to play heroine and so forth, but that is a frivolous import)? You hide behind a theca of verbosity and expect me to miss this phrase?

10. Well I suppose it was but an eventuality for my admittace of the fact that at the termination of every week, I conceal myself in a tenebrous corner of my bedroom and listen to dismal music one may characterize as "emo" and wallow in self-compunction. Yet still, might I not be a great omnipotent authority? Why, perhaps. Perhaps.

Most of the community appear to believe she is a troll, and make that plain. A few are too bothered by her year-old paid account and fifty odd entries to agree, though others question if anyone could really be that much of a gaping twat. A few more don't care either way, and declare undying devotion on sheer entertained principle, with such love tokens as Hillary Clinton's scalp and Michael Moore's dismembered body laid on the altar.

"You might bring Hillary's scalp...

I, for the love of Cressida, would render Michael Moore's fat into romantic candles, dyed a seductive red with the blood of bipolar lesbians. I can also sautee baby harp seals. Top that."

At least one member genuinely appears to agree with her political beliefs. A Gryffindor. Good to know it isn't only Slytherins that approve of nocturnal bartending.

There's the obligatory Fandom Wank reference, and a random bonus reference to lafeemechante, too.
