Current mood:Mildly Amused

And yet, still nothing on the rampant twincest.
Reporting in from the Devil May Cry fandom.

Just when I was proud to say that I hadn't seen too many wanks from my fandom, something has to come up and prove me wrong.

It's a charming, bite-sized wank that starts with Soan posting a meme from their journal in a Devil May Cry community on LJ.

Emily_jayden comments on it in a rather fangirly manner. Itzcolihqui takes issue with the typing style of the comment (even when they themselves seem to have a broken shift key). Hilarity ensues.

(As well as a cheap excuse to use this icon.)

ETA: Itcolihqui posts in rabidfanssuck to bitch about the issue.

Son of ETA: Entry in rabidfanssuck is bahleeted, but [info]crysiana has a screenshot in the comments here.

I guess we girls should just head back to the kitchen to make this jackass a sandwich instead of playing 'horribly' violent video games eh?

DAHAHA! The first time I played Devil May Cry and marvelled "Awesome!" at it, one of my male friends gave me "Brownie points" for liking awesome games. Why, how marvelously condescending of him!

Hmmm.

Itzcoliuhqui: moron or troll? I can't decide.

Probably both.

That meme was supposed to make people happy after what happened in the election,not to annoy in a community of all things!

I love how he compares her to a "retarded asian schoolgirl" (ooh, stereotype, anyone?) and "an ape with down syndrome" (someone clearly has a problem with the mentally disabled), and then tells her not to take it personally. Cute, very cute.

i usually don't read the comments left on pointless posts like these (especially in this community), because when i do, stuff like this ends up happening.

Oh, pity him! It must be SO HARD being so much more intelligent than the rest of the fandom...nay, the world! The poor man. Why, I think I'll go in the kitchen right now and bake him a cake...

DMC is...violent? I must be totally desensitized, then, cause all I remember is Dante's ass *cough*, I mean, slashing up stuff without blood and fighting a lava spider. I mean, the locales are kinda creepy, but I've seen worse in Resident Evil...

Ahahahah!

Boy gamers get all pissed off whenever the girl gamers fangirl Dante. It's like... all the girls want Dante, and all the boys want to *be* Dante - and get pissed when the girls drool over him. (I know, I pissed my boyfriend off once over Dante - apparently they seem to think that girls only like video game characters who are hawtomg. He also thinks that I like Iori Yagami because of his looks. :P pfth, I like Iori because he's a psycho.)

And what's all this "It's only a game character" crap about, when there's the Dead or Alive series, in which the women's breasts were *programmed* to jiggle when they move (and if you've ever seen it, you know what I'm talking about), and the sole replay factor involved for most guys is the unlocking of secret outfits for the girls. Hypocritical much?

Also, it's pretty amusing that guys can't seem to cope with female gamers. It's like this is the only place where they can still be macho men, and the womens has invaded it OMGTEHNOES!

...I couldn't finish. I was too busy snickering at the word "sardonicism." Mostly because...well, because it always sounds funny to me, but 1) you sound pretentious when you use that rather than "sarcasm," and 2) "ugh" does not meet the qualifications of being sardonic.

God, what is with the idea that if you respect someone, you can't think of them as a sexual object? I'm a sexual being dammit. I like being treated like one. Being treated like "It's Pat" doesn't make me feel respected.

But If I really liked the game, I wouldn't look at Dante's lovingly vectored ass. If I think members of a band are hot, I can't like the music.

Because people in a band are gender neutral, and the tight pants and shirtlessness isn't a sexual thing at all. When they designed Dante, the skin tight red leather catsuit was for, you know, mobility.

Wow. I wondered if our little wank was going to make it over here.

This guy is obviously looking for trouble. Jayden seems to have bowed out of the fight but others are weighing in (including me, although I seem to be ignored so far as I'm not rising to his bait).

*cough* so...is it impolite to point out that we've been fandom_wanked in the com? Not that I want to cause trouble or anything <_< -[) (mushroomhunterd on LJ)

I am a woman.

Devil May Cry is one of my all-time favorite games.

I love Dante, I love Vergil, I love the mindless violence of the game and the cheezyness of it.

I also love yaoi, of all kinds and shapes (gotta be flexible in that fandom), and I am DAMN PROUD to have ruined poor fanpig's fandom XD

*trots off to find more infos about DMC3
