: Henry Miller has a fandom...and it's pretty damn vocal.
Sex scenes can be really funny. Badly-written sex scenes can be absolutely hilarious. Since there are a lot of badly-written sex scenes in the world, the denizens of LJ's![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif)
weepingcock take it upon themselves to select the best of the worst and laugh uproariously at it. Or cringe. Or possibly laugh uproariously in a cringing fashion. It depends on the excerpt.
Anyhow,pirsquar posts this amazing excerpt, for the enjoyment of the entire community.
( My ovaries are incandescing at the thought of this quote. )
The reaction is a standard mix of 'lol', 'wtf', and 'OW'...
...at least, until Loyal Defender Of The Literary Mightydeborahkla charges in to express her displeasure with the mere posting of this blurb.
Why?
Because it was written by Henry Miller.
Apparently, if you are a Noted Figure Of Literature, you are incapable of writing bad porn, regardless of what our eyes might be telling us. She makes sure to inform us of this. She even did it twice, in the exact same wording.
( Her learnings, let her show us them. )
Despite the condescending tone, theweepingcock natives are actually quite reasonable in pointing out that funny sex is not discriminating, and 'great authors' are not immune to mockery if they write and publish something weepingcock-worthy. For deborahkla, however, 'reasonable disagreement' translates into 'OMFG EVERYONE'S ATTACKING ME'. So she attacks back...despite not being attacked in the first place. (She has mastered the use of the c&p comment, for sure -- there are several in there that she copies verbatim into multiple threads.)
She also flounces out of the community.
The only problem there is that she keeps right on posting answers to comments, actively telling people that 'she's out of the community now'. Her logic flaw is pointed out to her numerous times.
She reacts, naturally, by doing the most reasonable, mature thing possible.
She messages the mods.
( Mods, they're being meeeeeeean to meeeee! )
I don't know about all of you, but I definitely feel my ovaries incandescing right now.
