Fullmetal Alchemist AND Fanficrants: Two For One Special!
A whole bunch of this got deleted in the mid-afternoon, so I'm going to work off of what I have at hand.

[info]hawkeye_chuui posts a topic in [info]fanficrants going on and on about how Roy/Riza is the shit because it works, where as Roy/Hughes, Roy/Ed, and Ed/Al doesn't really work at all. The OP makes it clear that she doesn't want wank to set in, but by early afternoon, the wank sets in with a variety of cries from the fandom trying to justify what they ship.

The post is later edited to say that since the commenters didn't play nice and they suck at being mature (though most of the comments were mature in the first place), the comments were disabled, and the post was deleted.

It's over, right? Wrong.

[info]indefatigable42 shows up, guns blazing, and looking for a fight, since the commenters didn't get to defend themselves before the post was deleted. She closes with this final note:

It's a pretty tall order to ask everyone involved to just forget it ever happened, and I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to resolve it like adults. You weren't the only one justly or unjustly accused of anything in there.

Meanwhile, [info]hawkeye_chuui tries to defend herself, which doesn't cause much wank until a Mouse shows up with a link to [info]devils_devotion rallying the minions.

Spread out wank happens in [info]devils_devotion's journal, the highlights being:

x. All the Royai fans SUCK!
x. Rossette's character is ruined for me!!1
x. Remember when this fandom was fun?
x. Hawkeye_Chuui's fanfics are TOO fluffy!

To summarize, since this post turned out longer than I wanted it to be: Saying you don't mean to cause wank over such a wanky subject will not avoid the said wank. It'll happen anyway, especially if the subject fandom is Fullmetal Alchemist and it's OTPs.

(Also, please note that none of my opinions were included in this :P I'm just posting it.)

*blinks* Right.

Don't forget, OTP stands for one true pairing.

There can only be one.

Yeah, but a person can believe in a bunch of OTPs happening. That, and no one can seemingly agree on one OTP, so thus, there are many. :P

Hey, if it ends with all the annoying fantards lopping off each other's heads in a fight for who gets to be the True God(ess) of Fandomâ„¢, I'm all for it.

Can we make a rule that the only weapons allowed are dead fish? Because a girly fish slapping fight would be more entertaining.

I was wondering when this was going to show up here. Just when I thought it was safe to enter the fandom pool again this happens I just hope that some of those people don't see the question posted on the FMA spork community cause that will not be good.

Actually, the post was edited first with a note saying how great the commenters were for not wanking. Then, apparently, everything went to hell.

Man, that sucks. Didn't know you guys were following my LJ so closely. ^^;; But seriously, our fandom loses at discussing pairings. Just knowing that is half the battle.

Won't bother to say anything else on the subject. If you think I'm wrong, have at me. I'd rather finish my 10,000+ words of porn.

...goddammit. This did not need to end up here :P It was perfectly sane until this afternoon X_o;;;

For the record though, I'll stand by my opinion that in general, when talking with people whom you know might disagree with you: opening the argument by saying, "I dislike ____ because ____, why the hell do YOU like it?" usually doesn't get you anywhere productive :( This goes for all sides, here.

Can't we note that opinions are just that - OPINION - any more? :P

I am utterly unable to focus on the wank, since everytime I see the name "hawkeye_chuui" a little part of my brain malfunctions and creates a little scene wherein Hawkeye opens her mouth and a prolonged, gutteral Wookiee bellow issues forth.

This makes me happy.

And I'm briefly mentioned, albeit one of my other names. Weird.

Anyone made FMA wank icons?

Crap, I read that post this morning and everybody was civilized. Why do the wanks happen when I'm in school? *woe*

While I don't like yaoi in FMA (my ships are all het in this fandom), I wouldn't scream it out loud and especially at fanficrants or fm_alchemist. There's a reason why personal journals and/or posts filters exist, if you don't wank to explode. That's what I do, when some fandom subgroups annoy me...

I'm frankly amused that half of the stuff in devils_devotion's post is personal attacks that have nothing to do with the initial post. "OMG she like types in GREEN! IT HURTS THE PRECIOUS FPAGE!!11!" Seriously, if you're so delicate that you can't read green (and my page is light blue...), for chrissakes, hit ctrl+A and quit being a damn baby.

And who says fluff (and not everything she writes is fluff) is bad? I never see anybody complain about fluff in other pairings.

Damn our fandom.

[info]hawkeye_chuui is doing a really good job in making me irrationally dislike seeing Rossette from Chrono Crusade because I now associate that character with HER. Good work, jackass. Join [info]okami_hu and [info]treesock for needlessly tainting good characters with your own personal idiotic splooge.

Hey, Herongale, if I can still watch Haibane Renmei without wanting to beat Reki into the ground...
