4:12am: Trimming Down Toll Secrets at F_S
Fandomsecrets's mod Technophile makes
an announcement about other communities trolling Fandomsecrets and posting fake secrets. It initially came with a link to the Capslock Supernatural Comm with a specific tag for Fandom secrets. The link has since been deleted but
here's a screencap. Called on their game, the capslock_spn-ers turn out en mouse to try and show how cool and easygoing they're taking this whole thing. They give anyone who calls them stupid or attempts to apologize on Supernatural Fandom's behalf a beat down and otherwise generally troll the comments.
Being embarrassed by your fandom makes you stuck up. Calling the capslock_spn-ers dumb makes you dumb. Witchling's apology on behalf of fandom earns her a smackdown.And into the fray jumps Jameth....I dunno, your guess is as good as mine.
Technophile
pops back up on the fifth page to comment on the continued presence of the trolls and gets grilled on the decision to moderate the secrets posted into his own community.
Tianar expresses her rage with mighty capslocks. ashe_frost calls technophile out on his modding skills.And in the midst of it all
Capslock_spn turns off open membership to stave off the flood of potential new members and keep things manageable they say.
1:15pm: My BA in Business tells me that CLAMP is doing it WRONG!
Hey it's CLAMP wank! =D
Over in
clamp_rants,
jlarinda,
rants about people complaining about Syaoran and Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles getting so many covers and splash pages, being as they are the main characters of the series.
Starts off well enough with people agreeing with the OP and then
aniki_kurai enters with her own
opinions reasons about why people like TRC, namely the slashable characters Fai and Kurogane and definitely not Syaoran and Sakura. At first people are a bit boggled by her statements but that does not stop her from
insisting that most TRC fans are Fai and Kurogane fans, going as far to say they are entitled to demand more Fai and Kurogane art from CLAMP.Of course people question the entitlement claim but
aniki_kurai insists that
because she is part of the fanbase that is buying the books she has the right to claim that there should be more Fai and Kurogane and less Syaoran and Sakura. She also then breaks out the fact she has a BA in Business and to quote:
well, i do have a Bachelors in Business for a start and some other general knowledge of life, that quietly whisper in my ear, that whenever big money is concerned, the world stops being as simple as "i do what i wnat and i don't care what others think" XDAnd to top it all off she blames her foul mood on that
it's been about a month break between chapters. Which for long term CLAMP fans is nothing compared to the suffering of X and Legal Drug fans are stuck enduring.
4:13pm: I feel a bit weird arguing AGAINST robot sex.
My psychic wank skills have lead me right once more.The IDW
thread was relatively polite when I first posted, if a bit teal deer. Then
Damolishor showed up and it all went to h***.
I reckon that it's pretty obvious that the number of people who realise that Transformers DON'T "Sexually reproduce" (Why do something that is not only unnecessary, but which would be uncomfortable for robots) to the small number that do is indicative that the people who know they don't are right. I don't know why the hell this point keeps coming up.*snip*
Therefore, No sex.
And don't even ****ing get me started on the fact that Powerglide, Ironhide and Inferno are NOT the boyfriends of Moonracer, Chromia and Firestar AGAIN. I'm not a fan of the borderline hentai, either. And they're off, with wall paragraphs like you've never seen. There's also arguments as to whether Powerglide straddling Chromia is worksafe (apparently boy robot kissing falls under NSFW but this does not) and Tramp wields his boldface like a mighty sword that might also represent a penis while Damolishor slings his asterisks every which way and Jaysie urges people to stop being so mean to Tramp. Supposedly Damolishor and Tramp have history to the point of Damolishor threatening to kick Tramp's ass back before Tramp was banned from seibertron.com, but this information is not verifiable at this time. EDIT:
Ah, here we go.To cap it off, here's a sparkling gem from Tramp that seems to sum up his argument:
I am not saying you have to agree with me. Just don't tell me I am wrong on this. And
here, where at least they aren't talking about sex.
EDIT: Also, it appears that Tramp's fascination with humancentricity even led him to write a letter to
Simon Furman himself to convince Furman of his point.
EDIT: And now they're
arguing over whether it was making out or Powerglide slipping Moonracer the dipstick. Why?
EDIT POINT TWO:
The mods come along to say 'stfu before Hasbro comes poking around and sees you've implied robosexings! Understandable, given the fate of transformerotica.com all those years ago.
EDIT POINT THREE: And in our final act, Tramp cries censorship but the Mosaic mods decide to ax the piece anyway. The thread is locked and for now the madness quiets.
The original piece can be found here.
