6:24am: Quality New Fandom Wank for Final Fantasy XII!
The Final Fantasy XII fandom is only a few months into its infancy and there's already wank storms abrewing there.

Follow through for some Mary Sewage...

12:40pm: Anyone remember Transformers KISS? No? I envy you.

At any rate, there is wank once again. A thread on it was made about two months ago, and was reasonably peaceful because people had a sense of humor about it. Yay sane fans.

The wank doesn't start until page ten, with this phrase.

"Transforming combat robots that get their powers from molesting underage girls. I think that sums up Japanese culture better than anything else possibly could"

Since when is this kind of racist crap OK on RPG.net?

I think my Japanese friends and family members might have something to say about this.

Arguments break out over whether commenting on odd habits or pervertedness in parts of Japanese culture is racist or observation. Choice comments from both sides:

I understand the point you are making, but when you have a homogenous society like Japan, the issue of race does creep in especially considering the history between the West and East and The US and Japan.

Furthermore, your bias is clearly displayed, as Rape-man (which is not what I was really talking about anyway) MIGHT BE ERRONEOUS as compared to “Rambo Defines…” would be COMPELTELY WRONG. You’re directly implying that maybe it really does define their culture by the use of weasel words.

Saying “Transforming combat robots that get their powers from molesting underage girls. I think that sums up Japanese culture better than anything else possibly could” IS completely wrong as well. Not some weaselly “might be erroneous” garbage.

***

Actually I can qualify the one and not the other because I happen to live in the United States and not Japan (I live on an Indian Reservation, technically), thus I can say that the society I live in is certainly not represented by Rambo while I really can't say if Rape-Man represents Japan on not from personal experience, not having visited. The notion that this represents a clear bias is something you're inventing yourself by reading more into the text than is stated.

If Japanese Society is homogenous, as you claim, then what's loved by one should be loved by all. In that case we have to conclude that Rape Man, Jam Fingers up Asses: The Video Game, and Megatron: Pedophile Tongue Rapist are indeed representative of Japanese culture. You're basically contradicting yourself since your argument in this post seems to boil down to:
A: The Hideous Lolicon stuff is only liked by a few weirdos and doesn't represent that culture.
B: Japanese society is very homogenous with everybody being very much alike.

"And incase your interested, I have been to Japan and no, I didn’t see anyone get raped by robots."

Weird. When I went to Japan, I saw it happen every day. You must have been there during the two-month rest period, when the robots are recalibrated, and their robo-reservoirs are replenished.

1:19pm: LKH tries to be as missunderstood as Anne Rice
Laurell K Hamilton just published another book that had no other story then to tell the world her wanking fantasies.

More fans then ever complain about the lack of plot, and Amazon reviews go down like hell

( So the great-big-fantastic author needs to point out that no one understands her )

On the same time her publicist/assistent minion Darla posts this to the message board as a warning:

For those of you who say this is nothing but a Praise Board. Fine, it is. Feel free to run up and down the street screaming "I was right!" with my blessing. Personally, I am tired of listening to you whine and trying to make others here feel bad about the fact they don't share your opinion. Trust me, your opinion is really only important to you. The rest of us, could care less about what you think and wish you would go away. Yes, I do get to say what a lot of folks are thinking and have expressed in emails.

The snarkiness and nastiness will now stop. Immediately. Some folks have turned waltzing up to the edge into an art. No more. Abide by both the letter of the rules and the spirit of them or be banned. The mods here have a difficult job and are doing their best. And they do a fine job. If you think something isn't fair, then talk to me. There is no way a single person could mod this board. And there may be some uneveness in how things are handled. But that is mine to deal with. I am the one who makes the rules. The mods merely enforce what I decide. Yup, I am queen. Sometimes, new things come up and a rule may not cover it completely or adequately. That is on me not them. I will applaud those who spend the time seeking loopholes to exploit. Some of you are really good at it. You should run for public office.

People at LKH Lashouts have fun here and here:

8:53pm: Your Kink Is Not Okay
Taken from wank_report


arrmaitee and daylyn are assigned to write ravingraven's Harry Holidays giftfic. In the spirit of the season, they decide to include all of her squicks and deride her pairing of choice.

( Author's notes )

People are not amused. Arrmaitee doesn't understand why.

Ravingraven is upset by the fic and decides that this is the last straw:

Arrmaitee responded but the post has since been locked.

ETA: The authors apologise in the comments of ravingraven's latest post.

ETA 2 We have some details on the locked post here, here and here (oh, and here). They make the apology seem even more sincere!

ETA 3 oh_envy has provided the text of the originally unlocked post.

ETA 4 Mod has apologised and taken down the fic. Screencap of page 2 of the fic and comments. Screencap of mod's now-deleted comment praising the fic. Friend of the pair flaming ravingraven. There's also another 'apology'.
