8:36am: Good Old-Fashioned Fanboy Outrage
Moving this from ClairvoyantWank because of the ongoing fanboy rage.

An ANN that Zac didn't purposely start! *shock* Every new season, ANN has an Anime Preview Guide that has different reviewers watch an episode or two of a new series and give it a review. That also means that show defenders will jump into the forum and call the reviewer an uninformed idiot if they give the episode a bad review. Casey's review of Clannad ~After Story~ caused fanboys to jump in and defend the show's honor.

Casey's Review: It seems exceedingly difficult to justify the existence of a bishoujo anime series like Clannad that, while long on big-eyed, big-busted heroines, is woefully short on the fanservice.

greyhawk: No more difficult than the existence of anime and a reviewer called Casey Brienza, I must add, but that would be ad hominem, oh noes!

Casey's Review: The story operates under the assumption that you already know the plot premise and cast of characters...
...which is quite a long time but still way too quick for any newbie viewer to glean real backstory from current events...

greyhawk: This is where she's starting to pull crap out of her ass. Is she saying this because she hasn't watched the first season, or because she's pretending to be a newbie viewer? For your sake, let's assume the latter, so she's actually caring for the people who, in their infinite wisdom, believe that nothing ever happens in a whole season and thus decide to jump to the second one? Oh yes, there ARE such people, and I AM telling them to either stop watching or shoot themselves in the head and die. Anyway I must applaud her for making it look like KyoAni's fault.

Casey's Review: Although this anime series seems to be going for a modest elegance, the absolute best it ever achieves is inoffensive mediocrity.

greyhawk: I just love weasel words, they make you look more intelligent (read: fail) somehow.

...

tl;dr note: when you bash a series, do it right, don't make yourself look like a sorry loser. I could care less about the series, but the stupidity was so breathtaking that it grasped my attention. Nice trolling! Just personal opinions, rite? Was I unnecessarily rude? I don't know, I was just imitating some certain reviewers.


Zac: Jesus christ, some of you need to settle down. It's a cartoon.

Enjoy your ban. Anyone else getting ridiculously personal and nasty because they're mad someone didn't like their favorite cartoon will be banned as well.

The rage doesn't stop there and to make things worse, Zac is not only on the forums but now trolling with a Clannad review of his own. He didn't start the wank but that doesn't mean he's not going to fuel the fire.

4:45pm: Chancery Stone discovers Nora Roberts, guess what happens next!
I'm going to rip this straight from wank_report   because the Mouse summarized it perfectly:

"Small wank so far, but I'm sure Chancery won't disappoint us.

After Stone's debacle on the Amazon romance forums, Chancery discovered Nora Roberts. And immediately finds her so silly and her writing so horrible, she can't HELP but write a big long post on just how LITTLE Chancery thinks of la Nora.

Also, in the comments, to prove to everyone that she really DOESN'T CARE AT ALL about Nora, Chancery goes to her local library for some of Nora's books. Because she COULD REALLY CARE LESS. The butthurt is continued in her next blog post, wherein Chancery cares so little about Nora and her success that she psychoanalyzes Roberts' home life, motivations, and lack of strong female influences in her life.

It would have just been left at that, perhaps, if Karen Knows Best, the former blog that complained about the Amazon wank, hadn't picked up on it and posted their own butthurt on behalf of Nora. Now that people are paying attention to her tantrum, Chancery will inevitably ascend to the peaks of Mount Wankalaya never before scaled.

*applauds mousie*
The only things I'll add to this is that Chancery added another post in which she tries to spoof Nora's writing, with hi-fucking-larious results, and she found that last link the mousie gave.

I would've put this in clairvoyantwank  , but Chancery trying to spoof Nora's writing just put this one over the top.

Edited again to fix wacked-up HTML. GODDAMN RICH TEXT TAB.

Bride of ETA: There's now some bonus wank/rage in the comments of Chancery's post on being spotted by Karen. I don't know if it's related to Karen's blog going down or not, but some people clearly think so.

Son of ETA: Karen's blog is now back up. Leading theories are lasers, monkeys, space lasers, space monkeys, or space laser monkeys or us wankas overusing metered bandwidth.

Bride of the Son of ETA: What the shit? (from a new comment, made today, in CS's first post)

Revenge of the Bride of ETA: Speaking of batshit comments, there is now delightful catfighting in Chancery's post about Karen. Particularly beautiful (emphasis mine):
ItsASecret, why do you all have an obsession with me changing? Do you have problems with people changing on you? Is this a fear of werewolves, vampires? Did your mother have a sex change and become your dad? And there is no facility to screen comments on Blogspirit. All I can do is delete them. Would you like me to delete yours? Would that help you feel more special? Try not to look so paranoid. It's an ugly trait, and you're already trying too hard. You can't win, you know.

Don't worry, I have screencaps in excess should CS go on a deleteathon.

ETA with a twist of lemon (i couldn't resist): I think this deserves an ETA of its own for sheer fucking irony. Chancery's latest comment on this post:

Of course you "don't have an obsession with anything" about me, ItsASecret. And of course you "are not trying to win". And we do know why you keep posting "stupid comments". That, we do. However, maybe you want to try and learn not to "protest too much." Fails to convince.

And does anyone "disagree with me on the internet"? All I hear is the same sad assortment of 'insults' followed by "oh Chancery, never change", all the time, every time, over and over, endlessly. Not an 'argument' in sight.

Lastly, in the wild, giddy impossibility of one of you actually managing to think up something resembling a "disagreement" - why would that damage my "sparkling reputation"? (Thanks, by the way)

Do you ever think before you speak?

many bothansquotation marks died to bring us this ETA.
