Gaia and fandom: when Wanks collide
This is kind of fandom_wank material, and kind of gaia_wank, but since I know very little about Gaia, I hope you'll all forgive me for posting this here.

Anyway. It's FUNNY.

So, Barefoot Sean posts some art on Gaia, asking for constructive criticism. As you do. This goes on quite well, with him posting numerous examples of his 'fantastic art', until the end of the second page. It is at this point that Major Malfunction points out to the masses that in fact, all this art is by a well-known fantasy artist called Wayne Barlowe. He can't immediately find examples, though, as he knows this because he owns a book of Barlowe's art. Wank immediately ensues. Barefoot Sean informs the masses that he has never heard of this 'Wayne Barlowe' guy, and that any similarities between their art is pure coincidence, oh, and he signs his work 'B' because of 'Barefoot'. Obviously not 'Barlowe'.

The English language is mangled. The word 'frippary' is used, misspelled and horribly out of context.

On page four, Major Malfunction successfully finds two matching examples. Barefoot Sean tells the world that, despite only having scanned the images that day, somehow they have been stolen. After all, you can't trust Russian websites.

A few posts later, he hastily changes his song. In fact, he is a friend of Mr. Barlowe's, and is allowed to use his art, as it was a collaboration. Never mind the fact that it was probably drawn before Barefoot Sean was born.

Much boggling ensues. The wank escalates. A girl in pink shows up to defend, using very bad typing. Many posters fail to read the previous posts.

All in all, everything you could want in your well-balanced wank diet.
