FMA wank - revisited
If you were browsing f_wank earlier today, you may have seen the brief wank posted by [info]jewishninja before he bahleeted it. Of course, nothing stays gone forever on the intarwebs.

The following was sent to me by a friend of mine, who summarised the whole thing on her LJ for the benefit of the Mildly Bewildered. The only changes I have made have been to take out the quotes from friends-locked personal journals and merely summarise them, instead. If that's still inappropiate, let me know and I'll edit this post further, but for now:


So, last night, [info]mother (formerly [info]crucifymylove), one of the moderators of [info]fm_alchemist apparently got bored and a plan formed in her mind. In a post on her (friends-locked) LJ, she outlined the plan: Someone would make a post to the comm stating that a chat with Fullmetal Alchemist dub VAs (Vic or Travis) was to occur later that evening. [info]mother wanted to see how many people would stay up to see the dub actors. When people finally put two and two together that it wasn't true, she planned to delete the post to hide the evidence and claim it never happened. Or, perhaps people could make fake screennames and pretend to be the VAs and see how many people they could fool. A bunch of people jumped on the plan.

One of [info]mother's friends, [info]_kilana, then proceeded to make this post on [info]fm_alchemist:

Alexandra (_kilana) wrote in fm_alchemist:

AIM chat with the VAs?

hey everyone! ^-^ Sorry, first time poster here.

I got wind tonight, that a few of the VAs are suppose to be doing an AIM chat tonight. I think Vic and Travis? I was told the room is suppose to be called 'FMAVOICE' and that one of the members of this comm is organizing it.

I hope it's true - I'll see you all tonight, if you're going. :) They never said what time, exactly. I only heard about it half an hour ago. ^____^;

Download the full post here.

People bit the bait, and the chat filled up and occurred.

Read the chat transcript here

They did get someone to imitate Vic, but poorly. And of course, note the username that finally lets everyone know it was a prank:

the redamancy: YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D!!
the redamancy: YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D BAYBEE!! HAHAHAHAH


That is, of course, [info]mother's AIM name, who then proceeded to go back to her LJ and crow about it.

Now, that wouldn't have been so bad if it had just ended there, I guess. It's just her being an asshat, what else is new?

But then there is an edit to this triumphant post, in which [info]mother says that she's extending the prank and having one of her friends get a troll account and make an extremely mind-numbingly stupid post to [info]fm_alchemist.

The post:

{Holly} (holly_san) wrote in fm_alchemist:

I can't believe those meanies who pretended to be Vic on the AIM chat! :(

Does anyone know who could possibly be that mean? T-T I really wanted to talk to Vic and ask him questions!!! Why do some people have to be mean and fake something so cool? I THINK I AM GOING TO DIE! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO ASKING QUESTIONS!





MY LIFE HAS ENDED!

SO WHOEVER LIED AND PRETENDED TO BE VIC, FESS UP!!! I SAT IN THAT CONVO WAITING! You guyz all suck!

Download the full post here.

This, of course, irritated a great number of people and a lively "wanking" session started, with an anonymous running around "creatively" insulting people, people begging for the post to be deleted and [info]naruto (formerly [info]arex_kun) and [info]mother playing the sympathetic mods who allow the post to stay so the perpetrator can be caught.

Yeah, pretty heinous, [info]mother tried to pretend she wasn't at all involved in the plot, never mind the fact that it was her username that was in the AIM chat. YAY MODZ!!!111!!!

Unfortunately, I don't have all the comments saved, however, the infamous Jesus-cannibalism thing is preserved here.

And here's the icon: Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Anyway, next up, a post appears on fandom_wank:

jewishninja (jewishninja) wrote in fandom_wank:

Full Metal Alchemist Wankings

Now, if you've been on the Internet long enough, then you would know not to believe everything that comes along. For some people, that's harder than others. Like these fangirls.

Apparently, there was a post that said there was going to be a chat on AIM for the voice actors of Full Metal Alchemist. It seemed real enough, with a chatroom mod (FMAVoiceMod) and everything. The chat seems to go on forever without a voice actor (Vic?) until one shows up. Questions get asked and then, suddenly, someone says, "This isn't the real Vic." Oh noes.

Everything is chaos! People start whining ("how cruel!"), people start crying ("What?!?"), and it is all hell from here! Suddenly, someone shouts, "YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D!!!"

The chat transcript is here.

All of a sudden, it gets transferred to LJ. holly_san makes a post in fm_alchemist, whining. ("MY LIFE HAS ENDED!") And what's this? A troll, perhaps? People try to calm her down, but she refuses. holly_san gets fiesty and begins to lash out.

Hello, wank.

Download the full post here.

Note the username that posted this wank. It's a varient of "jewishshinobi," which is one of [info]naruto's AIM name.

[info]naruto then proceeds to make this post on [info]fm_alchemist:

king of the insects and the m-5 (naruto) wrote in fm_alchemist:

Stop the counters, guys.

We're back on fandom_wank

Download the full post here.

It's pretty obvious by this point to many people that the mods set this whole thing up. People call [info]naruto on the fact that that's his journalfen name that posted the wank, and he starts claiming the troll stole it and posted it herself, as does the troll. Much bullshitting ensues.

People start commenting anonymously on F_W, calling [info]naruto on it there too, but several of these posts get deleted, presumably to cover up.

You gotta be pretty pathetic to have to make your own wank and post it there YOURSELF. Isn't that what i_wank is for?

[info]mother heads back to her LJ and crows some more about the fabulous wank they gifted to the community.

She then makes another post bitching about how someone ELSE tried to wank the community, but she deleted it right away because she found it annoying.

Then, she wanders back over to [info]fm_alchemist and tries to pretend to be the good mod again. She deletes the posts involved in the wank and then posts this message:

Aly (mother) wrote in fm_alchemist:

Mod post.

Just letting you all know that I deleted all the wank entries, including the one stating about us on f_w. It turns out the same troll got ahold of one of our journalfen names, and reported their own wank. Nice. It was fun while it lasted? At least i know this comm gets a huge comment count.

I now give everyone permission to post pictures of penises, or something. Go crazy. I'm going to bed.

[edit]: I'd also like to add that; anyone who accused one of our mods of being part of any of this journalfen/posting tripe, should rethink that accusation. This is not a place for blame, alright? <3 you guys, so.

Download the full post here.

And finally, after the fact, [info]mother went back and deleted every post pertaining to the wank, including the ones in her own LJ, stating that she wants the entire thing to be forgotten about.

EDIT: And now they're stalking their own community, bahleeting posts related to the wank including, so far:
- a copy of this post by [info]reformedvandal (note: link is not worksafe),
- a post by [info]whimsy_chan with a link to this post:
wankity wank wank

Now we can reset the wank counter.

lol @ stupidity

Of course, I fully expect this to be deleted. Unless our mods are still in hiding?


Edit the second: [info]hagane_no_ushi makes a post linking to her journal, which has some more screencaps of the wank (here).

My Cousin Was Bitten By An Edit Once: [info]naruto has deleted his LJ.

Edit Bunshin no Jutsu: ... aaaand it's back.

Running Out Of Edit Names, Maybe I Should Just Start Quoting Star Wars Titles: Arex_kun has stepped down as a mod.

A New Edit: [info]neneno, [info]fm_alchemist's founder, has removed [info]mother's moderator powers.

Looks like the fm_alchemist mods got jealous of the Harry Potter people and needed to make it known that their fandom is still in the running for Most Batshit Ever.

Arex-kun is a little 16 year old kid who is on a powertrip because he got a hole of a community to moderate. His past times include making girls cry by playing jokes on them or withholding dub actors aim addresses :)

Well, they wanted dick so I gave them dick :)

Bleh. And why were they made mods again? I just loved the whole "This is not the place for blame" -_- If our mods would stop being so wanky, our community wouldn't be THAT bad.
(Whoo hoo. Finally just forked over the money for a paid account so I don't have to squeak anymore.)

Alas, the incredible amount of stupidity and wank in that community and the half-assed idiocy of the mods is the reason I removed myself from it. It wasn't worth wading through all the pointless crap for actual updates and information-- even for an anime as good as FMA.

Sigh. Internet, I hate you so much some times.

Wow. People are idiots. What kind of asshat mod does that? (And I still never understand why people *want* to be on F_W) I tried reading the chat transcript, but it was mostly "I want Roycake" "Yay Otakon" "Yay Yaoi-con", so I would up skimming. I picked out some of my favorite quotes:

astromantic girl: I'll be late to work jsut for Vic

Angel67Limited: What happens at Yaoi can o_O?
What happens at Yaoi-Con stays at Yaoi-Con.
The first rule about Yaoi-Con is don't talk about Yaoi-Con.
This isn't the Yaoi-Con you're looking for.
Shall I go on?


PyromaniacRoy: I've seen all of it =D
Elitist anime fuckwit on isle three!

DehHughesFan: but since I understand some english I downloaded some english episodes
AOL admits to monitering all conversations in their new TOS. Probably not the best place to talk about illegal downloading of a liscenced title. This person deserves to get caught by the IIRC just for being so damn stupid.

xFan Geekx: I need it for a website about my favorite VA's.
Who the hell ass-kisses a no-name American VA?

rubicon cr0ssing: Yeah, the real Vic is on his real s/n, and he doesn't know how to sign into two things at once yet XDDD
notshortvic has left the room.

That speaks for itself. In so many ways.

cherryfoi: and he avoided all quenstions referring to job

Angel67Limited: and he said he loved CATS!
sparklesonastick: and this guy didn't respond to me at all
astromantic girl: my heart hurts
Lady Gwuinivyre: is it possible he has a seperate aim name? I have one aside from my aol member name...
sparklesonastick: Vic hates cats

OK, I'm not an elite anti-dub asshole, but who the hell knows whether some American voice actor likes cats or not? And Lady Gwuinivyre is the so hopeful I almost want to give her a cookie with a clue inside.

Is it just that these kids couldn't wait for summer vacation to be over or what? How boring and empty is your life that you sit around and think, "hey I got a great idea, me and my friends will fake a chat, and we'll pretend to be outraged, and we'll create fake people to pretend to be wanky over it, and then we'll report it to Fandom_Wank ourselves! (No actual wank was made in the creation of this wank)"

I really, really, really don't get the idea of creating sockpuppets just to PRETEND to wank. I especially don't get deleting it all a day later. If it was just one person I'd presume they have serious ADHD, but under the circumstances I can only attribute this to mass stupidity.

... What the hell were these idiots smoking? I took consolation in thinking that for as wanky as the FMA fandom could get, at least it wasn't as batshit crazy as HP. ... Um, I'm gonna have to retract that. Not only was this wanky, it was so incredibly stupid and utterly lacking in any point or anything remotely resembling Earth logic.

At least the H/Hr 'shippers are wanking about a solid topic. These dipshits are wanking about something as substantial as bad acid trip hallucinations.

FMA Fandom - and specifically [info]mother and [info]naruto - put down the crack pipe and step the hell away from fandom and the Internet and get help. o_O
