Because paganism is JUS LIK a fandom!!11!!
Wow, this is just . . . woo.

I'm going to try to make this better than my usual summaries, but this is way more amusing than it should be.

[info]kittywuff posts an (let's be honest, here) ungrammatical rant about "cthulu fan-tards" and "McWiccans", railing against the wannabe rebels who slap on the pagan label to look "different" or "cool." (I have no idea how accurate her facts are as I know nothing about wiccanism/paganism/whateverism.)

The first poster agrees. Then [info]werebitch steps into the arena and lives up to her username. Her reply (all 1604 words of it) is split into four parts to accomodate the posting limit. "But get a clue here... it's NEOPAGANISM not "let's be exactly like it was 1000 years ago" paganism." What follows is a detailed iteration of everything that's WRONG with [info]kittywuff's argument (with a "By the way, your spelling and typing skills are horrible" thrown in for flavor), delivered with, I imagine, nose firmly in the air. However, she manages along the way to throw out the accusation that it is in fact [info]kittywuff who is the arrogant one.

"But I doubt it... you are so full of yourself and what you believe to be "real" that you will only see where I'm correcting you, you won't see the wisdom, or the knowledge contained in the words. You will get angry that I dared to speak thus to you, and you will probably even delete this comment." (Which isn't true; comments are still up at the moment.)

[info]mugetsu_ replies with "preach much?" and it all goes downhill from there. The highlights:

- tedious definitions of "pagan" that don't seem to ever resolve the issue!
- assertions that anyone not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim is pagan by default! (Shocked my Buddhist ass to the core, that one.)
- a giant pic of a half-naked long-haired weirdo giving a thumbs up!
- ribald condescention!
- accusations of childishness!
- allusions to Star Wars! (All the more amusing since the word "Corellian" shows up in [info]werebitch's sig lines.)
- a pic of the Iraqi (dis)Information Minister!

And in the end . . . it just ends up making pagans (or rather, this group of pagans) look like argumentative boors, precisely what they keep insisting they're not. Two thumbs, er, sideways. :P
