The Slytherin Fandom Is Not Dead
Lots of links here, and I probably left out stuff. Oh well...

A new anonymous journal appears on Eljay: [info]slytherfanatics. Its first entry is titled Yes, Ataniell, Pureblood Prejudice Is Racism and argues that ataniell93 is being illogical about the subject. [info]bookshop/Aja seems to have been the first to post about in public, but she's locked it since. Have no fear, there's a lot of first-reaction wankiness in the comments of the [info]slytherfanatics entry as well.

ataniell93 posts I know about the post in slytherfanatics, and an icon in retaliation. A bit later, she announces she's leaving the fandom.

[info]ajhalluk posts Just when you were thinking the online HP fandom couldn't possibly make a bigger arse of itself if it tried, it unexpectedly turns the other cheek. Condemns [info]slytherfanatics. [info]sistermapie writes a post about Dumbledore but the comments are filled with wank, including a very random Fandom Wank used to be funnier!

Then there's a follow-up post on [info]slytherfanatics Ataniell93 is not racist! But her position isn't conducive to rational argument either.

A.J. Hall writes another rant. Someone called [info]agarttha takes advantage of the general fuss to write a weird rant about how 'One cannot, therefore, go about brandishing puerile ideas of DNA and red blood around.' [info]sistermapie writes a serious essay on the subject, but there is wank in those comments. Our own [info]darkrosetiger has her take here.

A third post on [info]slytherfanatics New standards of Niceness about ataniell93 and [info]theregoesyamum. No reaction yet that I can find.

And, just for variety's sake, wank of the non-is-HP-racist?-sort, Ataniell93 tells threeoranges (whom she recently banned from her LJ) that she's such a Gryffindor on [info]kannaophelia's LJ, and [info]kannaophelia makes a rule'that no one is allowed to accuse anyone else of belonging to a certain Hogwarts house in my lj.'

ETA: WTF????????????? "as a matter of sheer practicality the children probably will in fact be worse off being half- whatever than full- something, so it isn't that the cautious advice is wrong precisely"

I'm leaving...

I'm leaving the Shakespeare fandom:

...because I can't stand the "gay Puck" fangirls who don't know the difference between a "faerie" and a "fairy." Hint: only one of them has to have sex with other men.

...because the PoloniHam shippers keep calling my beloved Ophelia a "suicidal bitch" just because she's obviously better for Hamlet than that abusive Polonius

...because the Troilus and Cressida pairing used to be small and fun until all the "Tempest" fuckwits came in and messed it up and claimed to have been there all along and showed no respect for us old-timers

...because it's "Merchant of Venice", people, not "Merchant of Venus." Why do you have to ruin a perfectly good legal drama with sappy romance?!? Also, it's "Two Gentlemen of Verona," not "Two Buttfucking Maniacs of Verona."

...because I don't want to hear another word about the infamous "Shakespeare calls Caliban fangirls 'sick motherfuckers'" interview from 1613

...because just as I bought all the quartos, he came out with a goddamned folio, forcing me to shell out yet another ha'pound and a groat to purchase it

...because I'm sick of the fact that the Comedies fans think they have a better sense of humor than us Tragedies fans. Bitch, please -- just because we find the whole eye-gouging scene in Lear funnier than the Three Stooges humor of "A Comedy of Errors," that just means we have a superior British, or maybe Canadian, sense of humor.

...because there are 154 sonnets and every single one of them has a fucking BNF

...and, finally, because my vision of a beautifully Nordic Othello has been ruined by the revelation that he is, in fact, a blacker shade of pale

For all these reasons and more, I'm leaving the Shakespeare fandom. Fuck you all.

You have offers of the internets, cookies, and a womb. I guess that leaves me with offering you sacrificial lambs!

Ah, but are you exiting, pursued by fangirls a bear?

*goes back to frantically studying for her Shakespeare midterm, which is in fifteen minutes*

Also, Iago/Othello OTP. It's the Shakespearean Harry/Draco. Or something like that.
