GAFF wank!
With a topic like, "Pretentious bitch, generic art, character rape," this was destined not to go well.

Touzoku-Joou posts about fanartist MilkyCat in GAFF's fanart boards:

I've hated this artist for a long time. Not only for her bastardizing of my favorite characters, but the fact that she's in her twenties and acts like a sensitive 12 year old. She thinks she's the greatest artist in the worl, and anybody who says otherwise is a TERRIBLE PERSON. She'll throw a tantrum, delete some of her work, and probably go cut herself. Yes, this happens with every critique. But never fear, she has her rabid fangirl fan following to back her up and always help her to come back. Unfortunately.

The OP links to some of MilkyCat's work, then adds, "...just for fun, I dare you guys to go through her gallery and harshly critique whatever you find. Then sit back and watch the firworks."

Things start out normally, with some people joining in the mockery, and others chiming in with, "Uhhh, this isn't GA." As the members engage in a debate about what godawful really means, anyway, the artist shows up to tell them all how much she doesn't care.

Her fans slowly begin to trickle in, calling GAFFers "jealous" and claiming that they're only a bunch of mean, spiteful people with no artistic abilities. The members find these accusations hilarious... but not so hilarious that about half of them don't feel the need to link to their artwork. It all dissolves into one big fallacy-flinging fest from there.

We're on the fourth page now, and still going. It's small, but diverting!
