Bad definitions of "yaoi", worse attempts at humor, and CUTE!

Ganked from a helpful mousie at [info]wank_report

Keysha-chan posts an INTENSELY CUTE FMA pic depicting Chibi!Human!Al hugging Chibi!Ed.

All is "OMG CUTE *ded*" in the comments... Until EvilManiak chimes in with...

Good job, but I HATE yaoi =__=

...And we're off!

Heathenesque to the overreactive rescue!

Note to EvilManiak:  If you have to state that you were joking, 9 times out of 10, it wasn't funny and the explanation won't actually help.  Not to mention, following up your misunderstood attempt at humor with an even worse attempt... Not good.

Not large, but rather heated, IMHO.

Elricest breaks my brain. That said, I find the fanart really cute *insert big anime eyes here*

All the animated smileys made me want to punch something.

Cute picture, really small wank, though.

OMG CUTE! *wibbles*

Okay, first of all. How is Ed and Al hugging automatically yaoi? Siblings hug. It doesn't necessarily mean they're banging. Sometimes a hug is just a hug. I know that I, for one, am not banging every single person I hug, and this goes double for family members that I hug.

Secondly... even if it WAS intended to be viewed as slashy, why do people feel the need to say, "Good job, but I hate ___?" So you don't like yaoi. Good for you. Nobody cares. And yeah, I understand that sometimes what the commenter is going for is something more along the lines of, "I don't normally like ___, but this was so good I was able to stomach something I don't usually care for," but nine times out of ten, it doesn't come out that way.

Awww! The picture is *so* damn cute!!!

And, y'know, Ed and Al are *brothers*. Sometimes, brothers do things like *hug*, y'know. Why, sometimes siblings are even *gasp* not sleeping together! I know that's kinda hard to believe after spending hours and hours on the Pit, EvilManiak, but . . .

God, I *hate* it when people scream "I WAS JUST JOKING GUYZ, LOL!!!" If have to say it, it usually means one of two things:

1.) The joke fell flat. It happens. Just drop it and move on. Saying you were joking over and over again isn't going to make someone go "Now I get it! HAHAHA YOU'RE HILARIOUS!"

2.) You actually DIDN'T mean it as a joke and are desperately back-peddling. No one is going to be fooled, and it just makes you look stupid(er). Stop it.

PS - I don't even know who the characters are, but that picture is adorable.

Yes, but what are their feelings on... Oh. Wait.

(I'm sorry, but somebody had to)

Oh, and only nine times out of ten? I'm assuming you're reserving the tenth time for when your audience is incredibly stupid, right?

Hell, even being a bit of an Elricest fan, I can. not. see. the. yaoi in that picture. At all. And EvilManiak has to be one of the worst "comedians" ever. Everybody knows that if you have to explain the joke, it's just not funny.

...that was yaoi? Granted, I've never seen FMA, but even in that picture it mentions "brother". And, sure, you can go to the 'cest place, but, uh.

Elricest is my main OTP. I nearly breathe it. Still, the yaoi? It is not there. That pic looks like what I do to my sister, and hell, I think Al is sweeter than I am.

There's something about people that compels them to tell you they don't like what you like. There's expressing your opinion and there's missing your cue to STFU. I'm especially confused by the people who go 'zomg I read this fic and I find it good even if I think the Elricest is gross' or 'I'm totally ignoring Al in your fic so it makes it bearable to read!!!' So, wait, are you trying to torture yourself with my writing or something? Thank you, what a great compliment! You know what, go read my DenxEd fic. Nothing you say about that will make unhappy, I promise.

For the most part chibi art I can take it or leave it probably because I've seen too many badly done ones, but DAMN that one is absolutely adorable.
