Wankery Without Pity
Let us consider the plight of the TWoP recapper. To slave away at their art for the teeming, uneducated, less-gifted masses must be an arduous task. Should the recapper not be exalted, praised for her service and sacrifice?

Alas, sometimes they are not, as Pamie discovered when she posted a link to this recap of a recent Gilmore Girls episode. It turns out that one TWoP reader, "Katie," didn't like the recap so much, and very politely explained why. After several comments of agreement, recapper extraordinaire Omar G uses an odd home decorating metaphor to berate the ungrateful currs. More recappers step in to deliver self-righteous hissyfits respond to such scathing, hateful criticisms as "usually love your recaps. I hope your future ones live up to what I know you're capable of." Hilarity ensues.

Oh...my God. Pamie has passed Anne Rice on the ARTISTE wank scale.
Gilmore Girls - Behold! The perfect recap. No, really. No. Really.
She starts off quoting the infamous "flame" and then goes into "Eeeee!" fangirl mode. See how far you can get.

Her issues make me cry.

Wow. That was just... wow. Pamie officially has no class.

I'm pretty disappointed to see something I like sullied by wanky behaviour. If she kept her issues about this shit out of her recaps, I'd be fine, but now she's just smacking it around. She took up an entire fucking page!

I love[d] TWoP, but that's just too damn much.

Just when I didn't think she could be a bigger douche bag.

Someone constructively criticizes you, and so they're either tweens or lonely old women? Why, because they take their favorite shows seriously? This coming from a person that writes for a fucking television website. She's the most mind-bogglingly hypocritical person I think I've ever come across.

Also, way to fuck up yet another recap. Because god knows I want to hear all about your issues when I'm reading about a show I happen to like.

No, because they don't recognise the Big Mighty Greatness of High Quality that is Pamie's [or insert the name of any TWoP recapper] writing! So they obviously have no taste, intelligence or sense of humour. Because TWoP have patented these things. They're the only ones not only on Internet but in the whole wide world who can write anything witty, snarky, intelligent and thought-provoking. Oh, and this also means that everything they do write become witty, snarky, intelligent, thought-provoking and high quality by default, even if they just repeat sentences like "All work and no play". And if you're not prepared to acknowledge this Objective and Universal Truth, than you obviously belong to the un-washed masses of tweens or lonely women. *Nods*

Wow, GG and people who liked Spike on Angel or Buffy had the same demographics! /sarcasm. (Explanation: It was posited many time s on the Angel/Buffy boards by "fans" who hated Spike (and thus thought both shows were ruined) that all Spike fans were tweens or lonely old maids.

I'm amazed at how "mature" and "intelligent" recappers/mods at TWoP are. Amazed.

What the hell is Pamie's problem? I'm tempted to write a letter to her. It wouldn't be a wanky thing to do. I'd be helping her by giving her material for her next recap, because apparently, she's incapable of doing the job she was paid to do.

Too bad I'm so damn lazy.

This, from the group of people who called Aaron Sorkin a big baby for getting peeved with their trashing of his writing.

Oh noes, did negative feedback make us cry? Poor little Pamie.

Word. (Sorry, had to do it.)

They accuse Sorkin of using his show as platform to bitch about the lowly fans who just aren't smart enough to "get it" and then pull this shit? Unreal. And I've had zero exposure to Pamie, Gilmore Girls, or The West Wing. In the past, I've followed the TWoP rule of "I'm okay with everyone, as long as they're not Ace", but man, now I'm gonna have to pick a side and say the whole fucking site's insane.

Exactly! I thought it was pretty damn wanky and pathetic when Aaron Sorkin did this, but somehow it gets even worse when a site that makes its living tearing down other's work proves themselves to be able to only dish it and not take it. Man, that's wanky, pathetic and hypocritical. Well, I suppose this was long-time coming, but I've finally lost the last shred of respect for TWoP. I can't stand people who are that goddamn oversensitive to anything that is not pure praise. And Pamie's "Young Americans" recaps was what got me addicted to the site once upon a time, in the first place. Ah, those glory days...

Wow, that was so very obnoxious.

And, even worse, it wasn't funny at all.

As usual.

Wow, that's just bizarre. But I have to admit it... I'm enjoying the Pamie's Breakdown Show. Now if someone would just do a witty recap of it, it would make my week.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I should have started a new post or not, so I played it safe/low-profile. The only time I posted wank, it didn't end well. Heh.

Pfft! I've posted five separate wanks--although two were reltated--in less than 10 days. That must be a record. But I understand the not wanting to post.

I prefer to Waldorf-and-Statler my way around JF. There've actually been some tasty wanks (at the now-gone Foxtrot feed, for instance), and I almost did an anonymouse alert, but then people would see my IP address match and be all "uh..."

Yeah. I'm a chicken.

So either we flash-advert-assaulted readers have to post regularly in the "Props to the Mod!" subforum, or we are squeeing teenagers?

I found this comm lying around...

Yes, that's what's so damn hypocritical. They don't mind the "sheep" in the audience, as long as it's them they follow... I suppose that the fact that not every single movie and television company in the world has already left over all their rights to the TWoP-writers is just another sign of how completely stupid and without taste the rest of the world is.

Now that is just fucking pathetic. Even more pathetic is that nobody will dare say a thing on the TWoP boards - as in, tell her to get the fuck over herself - because guess what? You can't criticise a recapper.

What a sad, deluded fucking moron she must be.
