12:35pm: The Price of Wank – Up 5%!
It's been awhile since we last had body product wank – whither did you go, BPAL wank? – but it's time to bring sexy (smells) back with an installment of LUSH wankery, courtesy a wee mousey over on [info]wank_report.

LUSH’s North American branch has had to raise prices on their products. There is an ample supply of wank available in their forums – I direct your attention to the handy list the reporting mousie gave us – but one particular thread stands proud and tall as a Church of St. Fap, so your humble wank reporter shall focus her efforts on that.

It starts innocently enough, with heylookamidget expressing surprise at the degree of the price shift. Gaa! Gorgeous is like $80 now :O Oddly enough, the new soaps didn't go up at all. It's really going to be hard for me to spend $5.50 on a bath bomb too. Anyone else surprised or not?

No one is very happy. There's a lot of miscellaneous pissing and moaning, which I will skip over because it all sounds the same. SEE, the problem is, LUSH said the increases would mostly be in the range of 5-6%, and aren't (there's a lot of fun numbers wank).

LUSH's forum setup gives me the Gnats. But there's a sample of what's going on in there, to whet your appetite. )

There are conspiracy theories, starving college student vs. yuppie battles, and even a rape comparison. It's seventeen pages of love and delight.
1:23pm: I'm Being Persecuted!
Moved from CW.

Meet [info]thevelvetsun. He has a beef with LJ admin, namely they bahleeted his character from a celeb RPG. The reason? It's against the TOS to impersonate anyone. Even in RPGs. Along comes [info]clawfoot who says that it was impersonation basically. TVS explains that he had a disclaimer, but as the TOS said, that doesn't matter. From there, TVS gets annoyed: Yeah, people have always been afraid of creepy and weird stuff. I guess that's why gay marriage hasn't been legalized yet, and people are still going around calling other people fag**ts and beating them to death. Just because they think it's creepy and weird doesn't mean we should be shut down with no warning. Yeah, this doesn't go over well.

TVS isn't done yet though, and posts again about how he was attacked in comments and that people are "judging" him for his type of RP. Wank unsurprisingly occurs. Small right now, but still has potential.
