the wicked wank of the west.
Earlier today, a post was made to the Wicked icons community, defying__icons. The person posting them is an obvious (to me, at least) troll, lots of exclamation points, and the icons are really poorly made. I personally think they're really funny, because... well, Wicked fans make some crappy icons. As the moderator of the community, I decide to leave the post up, against my better judgement. When I do this, there aren't that many comments, and most of them just really think it's pretty funny. At one point, someone calls the poster retarded, and there's a small scuffle over that, but nothing major.
Four hours later...
Someone suggest that it's an early April Fool's joke, there's another mention of mental retardation, and people are starting to get pissed.
Not to mention, the same person makes another post, this time including an icon that implies fat girls can't be popular.
OH SNAPS.
People get very offended and yell at each other. At one point, two people have a personal conversation in the comments, and it's confusing because they're both using the same icon.

I wasn't sure if this should go in i_wank or not, because I am the mod, but I haven't really stepped in at all, except to tell a few people to fucking chill. I'm not really doing any of the wanking though, at least I don't think I am. I kind of just want to see how this plays out.
