First wank! Now, this might be slightly off-topic as it doesn't directly relate to a fandom (unless your fandom is, well, cats) but it is wank of the highest degree and I couldn't let it slip by unnoticed.

I'm a member of Kittypix over at LJ. This community is dedicated to posting pictures of your cats and making people squee over the cuteness. Sounds perfectly innocent, right?

The wank began when Raine posted a picture of one of her kids holding a cat. It can be argued that the main focus of this picture is, well, the kid.

People begin arguing about whether or not the post is off topic and should be deleted. Unfortunately most of the wankier comments were apparently deleted by the time I found the post, but quite a few choice morsels remain:

[info]mistressxenobia:
it was obvious that this woman used her post to try to "show off" her children and that it had NOTHING to do with the poor kitty.

some of us come here to see pictures of CATS, not to listen to some mother go off about how cute her kids are. it is very annoying and totally off-topic...


Right. Since posting a picture which contains both human and feline is 'going off about how cute your kids are.'

i just got upset because i was not expecting to see something like that...
i mean, i don't come here posting pictures of my submissives tied up in a corner while my cat just happens to be watching - even if it IS infinitely amusing to me...
i have that much respect for the community members who might not understand my lifestyle...

i think those who don't care for children deserve the same courtesy of not seeing a photo where the kitty is NOT the main "star"...


[info]charlie_em points out the obvious:
you got upset????? my god. just scroll past it.

[info]ramothhe violates Godwin's Law:
If you're going to be all Nazi about it, and not even allow pictures with kitties and others in it..hate to tell you, but about 95% of the pictures that Ive ever seen in here would not be 'allowed'. And plus you arent even the mod. The MOD thank goodness, is much more mature than you are, and doesnt act like that, so why dont you just step aside and let her do her job.

The wank migrates into Raine's journal, where anonymice make

STOP POSTING PICTURES OF YOUR UGLY KIDS IN KITTY COMMUNITIES!
IF WE WANTED TO SEE GOD AWFUL UGLY CROTCH DROPPINGS WE WOULD JOIN A BABY COMMUNITY!

SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE YOUR CATS AWAY FROM YOU SO YOUR BASTARDS CAN'T HARM THEM!

---

Please give up your cats to someone who does not have children who will abuse them. Maybe you could also work on educating yourself a little.

P.S. Your children are the ugliest things I've ever seen.


Love,
Trish

---

POST NATAL ABORTIONS ARE SOMETHING YOU SHOULD CONSIDER

---

WHITE TRASH BREEDERS SHOULDN'T OWN CATS!

give them to good homes now plz.
k.
thx.

.


One anon attempts to support her and adds to the wank:

why is it you can all use CAPS AND SWEARING AT HER WHILE HIDING BEHIND AN ANONYMOUS NAME??? UNREAL. BTW I posted as anonymous to make a point you twits! too bad all your parents didnt abort you, then again, maybe they tried. You are all abortions gone wrong.

---

[info]ladyvox and co. suggest a post to LJ Abuse, and hope "this did not ruin your lj experiences".


However, the wank CONTINUES!
[info]absofrickinlute makes a friends-only 'I'm leaving' post: "The sheer malice, cruelty and spite in recent comments makes me want no further part of this community."

The mod steps in, telling members "let's not be dramatic." It's a little late for that, methinks.

In that post, [info]tasgenta says that "yesterday reminded me of those militants beheading people." (Shouldn't that be a new intarweb law?), and a few people express varied opinions about asking for money (plz halp mi sik kat.)

Whew. I think that's all for now - but a lot of wank over one small picture!

EDIT: Another post, mocking the original one, causes even more drama in the comments. Wow.

Just so you know, if you find something next time that might not directly relate to fandom, otf_wank is where all that other stuff goes. Not sure if you knew it existed or not, judging by your first line.

As for the wank - Wow. My opinion of humanity hasn't been high lately. ):

JESUS H CHRIST, calm down. I am hoping this person is about 14, because otherwise to assume that child=ABUSE TOWARDS ANIMALS is the type of rampant "child-free" propagando nonsense I hate. As long as they are supervised and taught correct behavior and responsibility around animals, children often get along fine. In fact, in a household with pets and children, the pets will generally form a sort of protective bond with the children...

...but of course, OMG THERE ARE KIDS WTF THOSE POOR ANIMALS!!

Those kids are pretty cute. So's the cat.

I hope no one warns my pets that picking them up and holding them constitutes animal abuse, because if they do, the adventures of The Flying Corgi are going to get me in a whooooole lotta trouble.

Mmmkay. People who live vicariously through their cats? Just as bad as people who live vicariously through their kids. Possibly worse, because people who have kids have at least, once in their lives, presumably gotten laid. Have pets. Have kids. Enjoy--but, er...overboard? Much? At all?

More wanking for everyone! (http://www.livejournal.com/community/childfree/3422476.html)

I can understand not liking kids but...damn. If you want to kill everytime you see one, you must not get out of the house often. Either that or have a rather large criminal record.

Meh. I can see wank coming from both sides of the issue.

God alive. People like that are why I do not call myself childfree.(Well, that and the fact that I don't buy into the massive sense of entitlement/self-righteousness that emanates from the Livejournal community.) I can't stand kids either. Being around them puts my hackles up in an almost literal sense--I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and the muscles in my neck and shoulders tense when I'm near a lot of children. I don't even have to be particularly upset with or irritated at them. It's purely a biological thing. I'll admit to having a "*scoff* Why do you think I want to look at your kid?" reaction to the picture. But it's downright scary how vicious those anonomice are to that poor woman. She made an error in judgement. It happens. Deal.

On the other hand, I'm kind of irked by the how dare people have a problem with a picture in a cat community not focusing on the cat! Don't they know we're one big happy family!" attitude of the other side. I'm scribed to that community for the cats and the cats alone. My two live a couple hundred miles away with my parents while I'm at school. Occasionally I need my vicarious kitty fix. I took it off of my regular reading list because of all the OT posts. And dude, unless you're the Virgin Mary, don't expect strangers to be as impressed with your kid as you are.

Obviously, all future pictures posted in kittypix must only feature a cat floating in stasis inside of a completely empty room with blank white walls. Only then can they avoid offending anybody.

On the one hand, we have the lady smugly posting pictures of her (rather cute and in-focus) chilluns holding their (rather cute and incredibly out-of-focus and out-of-frame) cat. (C'mon, lady, I can only see half its freakin' head!) I think the most in-focus thing in the whole picture is the little girl standing about 10 feet behind the girl with the cat. O_o How does this *happen*?

So on that hand, I give it to the Childfree!Wankers - the picture could be better, and she probably did want to show off her kids.

But on the other hand, we have that the Childfree!Wankers are completely fucking insane. Children can't hold cats? Gods, my mom would've gotten locked up with the key thrown away. (Not that she didn't deserve it. We had five, and while I wound up with cat-scratch fever and abused the living fuck outta the poor cats, that's not to say that *responsible* parents should never ever let their kids touch an animal) And let's not forget that you should never *ever* mention your children anywhere outside of your own livejournal (under a friends lock, so that only the other people with kids can read) or in the [info]i_love_kids community. (gods, that sounds pedophiliac...), because Gods forbid someone be offended by the fact that you had *gasp* sex at some point in your life and it produced a child. X_x

Y'know... some people just don't give a shit one way or the other whether someone has a kid or not.

I've seen that mistressxenobia person wanking somewhere before...I think it was in the sextips comm, something along the lines of "if your penis is small, yes, you really are worthless and deserve ridicule, and if that offends you, it's because you have a small penis". Oh, and "prostitutes are trashy scum and should die, but my profession is noble and pure because I dominate men in return for money to give them sexual enjoyment but do not actually have sex with them".
Also, I never want children and have a list a mile long why, and can't stand people telling me that as a woman that's my highest purpose and I will inevitably change my mind. But damn, most of those childfree types are completely batshit. You think you should never ever have to see a child, that kids should behave like perfect little robots without even being given opportunities to learn, that you're perfectly justified in wanting to be violent towards all children and parents, and that anyone who ever reproduces is a horrible, horrible person? Yup, you're fucking nuts.
