You have the Right! The Right to be Wanky!
This is my first wank so don't forget the cherry-flavored lube, people! Where was all the wank when I was still an active part of this fandom?

Over on LJ's ygo_icons community, [info]raindrop_jewel posts a few icons that are manips of different characters paired off with Kaiba. (I always knew the Shachou was a man!whore...) I personally think they're rather decent for manips but I can see why it might not be everyone's cuppa.

The first two comments are more than civil and then [info]miss_kaiba enters and voices her dissatifaction(?). No, it's not shipping wank.

Uhh... not that I want to start a flame-war, but your icons aren't that good. I mean, c'mon. Using images from two completely different seasons does not an icon make, nor does it bode well with using images from two completely different scemes where the characters are no-where near each other.

But seriously, you've got to be joking.


Wank follows because as soon as someone claims they're not trying to stir up shit, much shit is stirred.

[info]azure15 immediately jumps to the icon-maker's defense and counters with a defensive, if not wanky, reply.

[info]miss_kaiba insists the icons are in "bad taste". And a few people turn their head in confusion at that statement.

The actual quality of the icons aside, most people have a problem with miss_kaiba's attitude in her initial post.

Never mind what I said earlier because [info]wrong_trousers has a few problems with the ships but most of all, insists and keeps insisting that [info]miss_kaiba's initial comment and subsequent replies are first amendment rights to freedom of speech (translates to "the right to be an absolute asshat").

[info]alexi_serenitia tells both side to STFU because neither is helping the situation and [info]zodiacstargazer wonders when the YGO fandom went to hell in a handbasket.

And in the midst of all this, our icon-maker in question, [info]raindrop_jewel is nowhere to be seen.

Go First Amendment! I'm sure this is exactly what our forefathers had in mind. Forget about protesting unjust wars and debating "legitimate moral" issues.
