X Wank! ("Boku wank... kimi wo...")
Hi, all. First wank, so do me hard be gentle.

Welcome to... the Twanklight Zone.

Today's episode begins in the Seishirou/Subaru Community, with the posting of a piece of fanfiction by a new member.

Very first comment has [info]choffman giving a rather blunt opinion of the piece. The opinion, however, isn't where the wank starts.

Choffman declares that Seishirou's name is incorrectly romanised. EvilAsianGenius and Majinkarp point out that there are several different ways to write his name in English.

Choffman proceeds to get all up in everybody's shit.

It's a small wank, but a pretty nasty one. Highlights include:

--[info]ariseishirou accusing Majinkarp of baiting Choffman when Majinkarp suggests that Choffman please try to not blow up at everybody.
--Choffman complaining that "some people can call names, swear, and fling insults with everyone just accepting it as normal", but she can't even say something mildly not-nice without everyone jumping all over her.
--Ariseishirou predicting that Majinkarp or "one of her friends" "post it to Fandom_Wank in a pitiful attempt to garner support from the like-minded".

Best part of this is, I don't actually even know Majinkarp. Found this all on my very own. :D

That was fun. Everyone's frostily bitchy, the poster who started the mess calls in a second to fight for hir (I love attack dogs, they're adorable), and some nice icons.

The attack dog, it seems, is always on call. I haven't borne firsthand witness to many wanks involving those two, but I know people who have, and they always travel in packs back each other up.

It's like I said earlier in [info]rabidfanssuck: Something is seriously wrong if people are wanking about SPELLINGS. That also goes for romanizations-if there's no "right" or "wrong" way, then that's that.

There may be no right or wrong way to romanize, but there apparently is a most correct way. :p

Well, that took slightly longer than the twenty minutes I'd expected. Come on, people! I'm losing faith in your expediency! Given the territory, this should have been instant-wank. And where are the pithy insults? Do I have to post about how evil you all are in my journal with comments blocked?

The best part is how you're acting as if you can claim even remote impartiality in this, Rose ;). That makes my day, I have to admit. See you around next time there's an argument in the X fandom!

Ah, Clique_War. You never cease to delight.

I think my favorite thing about Ari is how, once she gets into an argument, she feels the need to respond to every single post, whether or not it was directed at her, and be vitriolic and/or condescending. Whether or not her response even makes sense. I fail to grasp their point when they say Choffman never said the author was wrong. Maybe I just use the English language less correctly than they do. If she'd said, "Seishirou is more commonly spelled the way I just spelled it," that would be one thing, but, "Seishirou is spelled just like I just spelled it," certainly seems to me to be telling the author that she spelled Seishirou wrong, especially since she cites it as one of three things that make the fic utterly unpalatable. Personally, I think they'll have a hard time proving that, given that all the translation companies, to say nothing of CLAMP themselves, spell the name just like the author does.

Dude. *sniffles* I feel so nostalgic now. X wank... Ari being a condescending wanker... people sniping at each other over the most inane and insignificant things... it's just like old times!

I so wish we'd all been on Livejournal during some of the old X flamewars, like the great het vs. yaoi war. When we got going, we rivaled some of the bigger-name fandoms in wankiness. But alas, thanks to the fleeting nature of Pitas blogs and the DoS board, they're lost to the ages now.

So many familiar names here, it's like a regular teaparty! Logically, I came for the cookies.

What do you mean there's no cookies? The crusty crumbs lead me here!

Gotta love wanking about romaji. Heck, gotta love wanking about anything even remotely connected to The Land of the Rising Sun *bows to the east* because that always seems like a veritable fountain of nice and thicky splooge.

Must give applause to all the parties involved; biting frosty comments, waving of dictionaries, (intentional?) misinterpretations, condescending here and there, and an excellent timing of the Mod Wank Repellant.

May your wank live on, X. Teach your younger siblings. *teardrop*

Maybe it's just me, but I was snorting before the end of the first comment. I personally think "too many sentence breaks" is the wankiest reason to criticize a fic I've seen in a while.

"Not enough notes, Schoenberg! Not enough notes!"

Oy...

The point is, there IS NO DAMN ENGLISH STANDARD for rômaji. To each hir own. I know native Japanese speakers who disagree how to romanize things...*sigh*

And also...the average English speaker with no Japanese experience can't differentiate a short vowel from a long one, like Japanese can't differentiate our "l"s and our "r"s in English-Speaker Land. GEEZ!!!

I pity the fanppl who speak Japanese but have zero knowledge of lingustics, AND a conviction that Japanese IS OMG THE BEST LANGUIDGE ON EARTH!!!11!!.

(Did I sound too wanky in and of myself? If so, I apologize.)
