7:28am: Fandom ... no no no, Racism is Fucking Funny
salem_wikkat posts to BRPS:

Racism is fucking funny to me when done as an in character thing, not irl. It's never funny then - unless you're a black, mexican or puerto-rican, comedian making fun of the "white folk" - however, I've always enjoyed it IC.

Yet, is it really that offensive?

Shockingly, wank unfolds in the comments. My favorite bit is this exchange, which devolves into misreading, namecalling, and general pomposity with delightful speed.

The problem, of course, is that everyone is interrogating this post from the wrong perspective:

To think when I started this I was thinking about Dwarves and Elves an the inter-politics between these groups, but I wanted to see who'd jump to conclusions first.

Posting something inflammatory and waiting for teh drama to unfold? Where I'm from, son, we call that trolling.

Small but with excellent growth potential.
