Where Are They Now? An exclusive look at the exciting world of the H/Hr petition
This isn't Harmonian wank mostly. This is people-pretending-to-be-Harmonians wank. Other people are then outraged.

Pumpkinhead reveals that the blog, which purported to be the crazed musings of a Harmonian teenager, is really a prank by a college comedian. Lots of outrage in the comments, including the inevitable appeals to Hurricane Katrina.

[info]phoenixwriter is outraged because she thinks Pumpkinhead tricked the fandom into thinking Harmonians were insane. Her thread on the subject devolves into an argument about whether there's a vast R/Hr conspiracy out there. Fandom Wank might be part of it.

Just as this is calming down, we get the sequel to this wank. Pumpkinhead was supposedly a pal of Snowy, who made the Ultimate Betrayal website and petition. Most FW members called troll on this and, as of today, there's an R/Hr icon on the site. Lots of wanking in the "signatures" of the petition.

Since we all know that anything that makes us look bad...anything...will ALWAYS, ULTIMATELY, be caused by that evil big huge conspiracy out there. Since of course, you can only disagree with them when you are THE ENEMY.

Oh. My. Goddess.

I sometimes regret getting HP fandom. Some of the fans are just plumb fucking crazy. And this is from somebody coming from a heavy background in Star Wars fandom.

I was a SW fan before HP myself. I lurked mostly in that fandom, though, only writing fic with my friends. One of the differences I've noticed is that HP is waaaay more obsessed with JKR than SW is with Lucas.

At least they don't honestly think themselves wizards? *hopeful*

That's one of the reasons I stopped being into SW Spanish Speaking fandom. At first I thought they were role playing but then I learnt some 'embraced' the Sith and Jedi ideals. Maybe that's uncommon now Jedis are monk like.

Well, according to vanceone on the comments of Pumkinhead's blog:

I cannot say thank you. Nor do I wish to. You have caused my board and the people I associate with tons of grief, actually. I know you were trolling, and I wondered if you were, even before, but we had several people come and accuse me of being as irresponsible and stupid as you were trying to portray yourself.

Thanks to you, I'm stuck with the reputation you and Snowy have given Harry/Hermione shippers. When Snowy comes out of hiding as a troll (which I think he is), I'm sure none of the people here congratulating you are going to admit that Harmonians are not as insane--they keep on thinking we are as stupid as you were.

I know you don't care, but this was a low, dirty trick; because I've had to deal with the insane people who think I am you or follow you, or that you represent all H/Hr shippers. And their opinions won't change, just because you said you were trolling.

The HMS Harmony forums have suffered greatly because of you and Snowy. It was you and him/her that primarily are responsible for prolonging the angst and grief, and causing all these others who post here to have hardened to the point that we are mocked daily, no matter who we are.

Now that you came clean, I do not think highly of you, at all. My name is being dragged through the mud because of you. Thanks a lot, moron. Of course, I'm sure that was part of your intent.

And now I see you are suggesting to others to follow suit; to pretent to be outraged Harry/Hermione shippers, and be really stupid, thus continuing to cast all of us in a bad light. So, I will have to deal with that, too. I'm sorry--but directly due to you and this tactic, I will once again be impugned, reviled, and hated, even more than I am now, just because I happened to share your alleged belief.

Please remove the link to the HMS Harmony forums off of this site. We have no desire to be associated with you in any way; although it's clearly too late for that.


WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

These people are eerily like Tinhats. They even have the same "there is no middle ground" mentality where you either love and support the ship (and thus, prove your superiority) or you're against it and you're a mere plebe who can't properly read and appreciate a book (or a homophobic Brianna).

Was it trolls that put up stuff about support for Rowling being support for enforced abortion in China? Was it trolls that insisted the rationale behind the Harry/Hermione ship could become an official philosophy in its own right? Or that the books could have signalled the dawn of a new age of enlightenment amongst our youth if only Rowling hadn't done all that stupid "sticking to the original outline" garbage? Because if not...yeah, still mental.

Pumpkinhead on Snowy
(Anonymous)
2005-09-13 03:17 am UTC (link)
be a joke. I really have no idea, though. I was thinking how funny it would be if snowy's was a joke too the two of us had kept going for a few months, linking to each other and supporting each other, both unsure whether the other one was serious. I sort of feel bad for "outing" myself because I might have now convinced some people snowy isn't for real. Snowy seems pretty crazy though, and he/she has been saying some pretty outrageous stuff. I tried to refrain from being rude to any of my "trolls", and I figured the Nazi-Godwin stuff was so silly that it would just be funny and not offensive. I don't really find snowy's responses to his reader email very funny - "I suggest you take your mouse and shove it up your ass" is not exactly comedy gold. I think snowy's just out to piss as many people off as possible. But hey, that's his/her problem. I'd give snowy some props if he was actually as creative as I was. Like meaning to say your points are "irrefutable" but typing "irreputable." Stuff like that is what kept me going. Telling people to shove things up their ass isn't really fun, unless you're telling a friend what to do with his Xbox controller after he's just defeated you at Halo.

I can't really knock snowy, because he's got thousands of "signatures" on his petition and my little project was just an offshoot of his.

"phoenixwriter is outraged because she thinks Pumpkinhead tricked the fandom into thinking Harmonians were insane."

And for Pumpkinhead's next trick he/she will make us believe the moon exists? 'Cause we all KNOW that already.

Also, I must say, this Harmonian wank must be a record, 'cause they're been wanking for SO LONG NOW. Marathon wank or what?

What struck me as quite funny was that because he picked the noisiest batshit community to upset (ie H/Hr) that must mean he's OMG a R/Hr shipper. Based on the fact that when he read the book he allegedly said "how could you not want Ron and Hermione together?".

This to me does not define a shipper. I could casually watch a movie or read a book and make a similar observation - this does not mean I actively care. It's just a passing thought.

But because he highlighted just how crazy it was all getting (let's face it, how many Harmonians backed away while saying "Jeez... dude - tone it down..."?) and they were behind it - thus aligning with the crazy - it must be an evil R/Hr conspiracy.

The meanies. They're all evil, you know.
