Daily Show RPS Wank!
Ah yes, the age-old RPS debate, with a Daily Show flavour!

With the recent spotlight on bloggers, someone posts to [info]thedailyshow about a blog linking and posting excerpts from [info]tds_rps (Daily Show RPS).

First bit of wank starts with accusations of a witch-hunt against fellow Daily Show fans! But disaster is averted with a few well-placed apologies and clarifications.

The real fun doesn't start until godfrei asks: ...am I reading this right? Is there really a homoerotic Daily Show fanfic community?

Jesus Christ those people are fucked up.

And this starts off a nice round of insults hurled towards RPS writers, including such gems as: That has to be one of the lowest forms of creativity possible, if it even meets the minimum qualifications...

And what may possibly be the most offensive statement to RPS writers: A comparison of RPS to Gigli.

And halfway through the conversation, [info]godfrei suddenly realizes something: Holy crap, you're girls?!?!. Be sure to click even if it's only for the lovely picture of Stephen Colbert posted in the middle of the thread in response to the question: ...aren't the guys required to be hot as well for that to work?

ETA: Oh dear. And it looks like the Something Awful goons have got ahold of the link to the community as well!

Thanks to [info]alecto for the heads-up.

ETA 2: More splooge flies forth from this thread: All I'm getting from this is that not only do you write creepy and pathetic gay erotica, but you also have an army of equally creepy and pathetic amateur erotica authors marching behind you. I'm not sure how comfortable that is supposed to make you feel.

I cannot see how this is possible that my only two (current) fandoms *both* got wanked this week.

Is there a full moon out or something?

I think we should all just blame Colbert for being so hot with other men.

Clearly he is the link. -grins-

Bleh. I'm personally lurking the thread on Something Awful. They're bound to wank on this like no tomorrow, and just in a few days after that Harry Potter debacle. Is it wrong for me to be amused by this?

I like that godfrei has "accurate gender stereotypes" as an interest.

I find this hilarious because The Daily Show has a rather close fanbase.

I mean, I don't even remotely believe in nor wish to believe in things like Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert hot steamy sex, but I'm on the community because it's not like Harry Potter where you can type it into the search engine and return about 9,000,000 communities and journals. I am in nearly if not every Daily Show community simply because it's the show's LJ news circuit. Even tds_rps isn't all about RPS, it is still handy.

People just seem under the constant false impression that everybody who writes this stuff actually believes it, really.

bluedeception perfectly distills the essence (and, via godfrei, the ineffectualness) of the fic disclaimer:

Go. Read. It's great.
Unless... you aren't into that and then... don't.

Wow, our lovely fandom has finally been wanked-- most of which is going on the SA thread.

It's interesting: Strangers with Candy got hit earlier this week and now The Daily Show. It's official: no fandom is safe =P

I weep for the fact RPS was compared to Gigli.

I still *heart* LotR RPS.

*runs off to sneakily conceal the Matt Damon/Ben Affleck fic she wrote for a challenge, for all is tainted by mention of Gigli*

I was watching The Daily Show last night with someone and after Colbert and Stewart's segment, I turned and said, "So gay." I was mocked.

I feel so vindicated. And the best part is that I don't even have to write Stephen/Jon myself!

Um, if on December 31st godfrei wrote "Sometimes I get the impression that a lot of girls are in favour of gay marriage because they think it's cute when guys kiss." why does this surprise him?

Wow, thanks, Daily Show fans! But you know, if I wanted to hang out with self-righteous judgemental asshats, I'd be a Republican.

Hee, I've been waiting for this to hit fandom_wank all day.

Don't forget, Wonkette pointed out the Tucker Carlson community too. (http://www.wonkette.com/politics/personalities/index.php#remainders-tucker-carlson-porn-033484) With a clip. And links.

From the Something Awful thread: I don't know how, but somehow Japan must be behind this.
