Icon wank that keeps going and going and going!
Icons are nice little 100x100 or less graphics that represent us in journalling sites such as Livejournal, right? WRONG! Over in [info]interpol_nyc (the comm for those poets from New York) [info]precipitate announces that she wants everybody to quit parading what she refers to as shit made by self-involved dudes.

Wank ensues, people post polls to know what the majority thinks, analyse the frequency of icon posts in the community and just plain bitch. They've been wanking furiously the whole day, and it doesn't look like they're going to stop soon.

For some reason, the perky "edited at 1:28 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time!" at the end of her rant just totally cracked my shit up.

I must admit that also hate people who tease you on a community with a related icon, then link to a post where you have to wade through thousands from different fandoms just to find two that relate. Jesus, that needs to die.

But otherwise? I'd like to know what riveting discussion this person is having on an LJ community to think icon posts are bringing it down.

Gawd, hipster wank is so trendy.

Can somebody point me to the nearest pseudo-dive bar? I'm jonesing for a PBR like nobody's business.

So, from your Fandom_Wank of Eld link, this is the same community that can wank about mood smileys, so really, I'm just wondering how it took them so long to get to icons.

What's next, I wonder? Wallpaper on journals? "I just want to vomit when I see that vile GREEN on your page! When will you learn that linking to my Imterpol community means THIS IS MY BUSINESS!?!"

This community is dedicated to complaining about some cosplay girl who is OMGmean to people, if anyone finds it wanky enough to post.

Oh my... Wow, whenever I think my fandoms have gotten out of hand I will look at that and just shudder at the spot. I know my child's first costume anything is going to be a pumpkin or a blue M&M.

[info]precipitate: if it disgusted you so much it'd take mere seconds for you to scroll past it.

The hypocrisy, it burns.

TRUE.

And also:
you're certainly self-involved enough to think the sole reason i posted my icon rant was because of you. are you that stupid?


BWAHAH I LOVE IRONY. This coming from a bitch who is self-involved enough to start an entire wank because she was too lazy to scroll past a couple icon posts? apiwhgggggwrgip

As if LiveJournal wasn't expressed made for the most self-involved asses on the planet, including myself of course.

Yeah, I thought the entire point of having a livejournal was so I could be self-involved on it.

The first step towards recovery is acceptance. Or something like that...

...and does anyone else find it really lolz that we're arguing about this?

Me too, although I can't decide if I'd prefer it to be posted by someone out of spite, or by an innocent newbie unaware of the massive icon drama.
