How dare you make Disney Princesses show T and A.

[info]kittikattie
Over on D_princesses--a spot for many things Disney and princess--a post is made asking to share some Princess cosplay and arts. (warning: Huge images. I had to scroll sideways and my res is 1600 by 900.)

The first pic is a cosplay of a fanart, and there's some images of the Disney ladies wearing less than what they wear.

Cue people fussing that there's too much T and/or A from the first comment:

[I]t makes me so disappointed to see the princesses turned slutty.

Highlights include:

Complains about cleavage, followed immediately by the Belle cosplayer commenting;

whores whores whores whores whores;

Disney is not a strip club;

Doing this is like whoring up Dora the Explorer.

Note to self: Don't cosplay Disney around some people. With knockers this huge, I'll make EVERYTHING slutty.

ETA:
This sets feminism back.

Cleavage undermines the capacity for social respect for women.

Mods behaving badly.

[info]gusty
On the FurAffinity forums Techiewolf makes a post asking if they could help with the coding of the site. For years now, the site has been promising the arrival of a brand new version of the site's coding called 'Ferrox'. 'Ferrox' could be considered sort of a Duke Nukem Forever thing, as very little progress seems to have been made (if any) and there's no definite release date. The user is informed that any coding help needed would be towards 'Ferrox' rather than the site's current code. All goes fairly uneventfully until Vitae (a former mod) comments: "I wouldn't bother trying to help, every time someone does try they're just shunned and tossed into the garbage at the end."

Mod Tsawolf, who also is a coder for the site, doesn't like this sentiment one bit. So he decides to make a post allowing users to decide what Vitae's punishment should be via poll:

Hello, everyone! It's tsawolf, your (second) favorite mainsite ops nerd! You're probably wondering exactly what the hell this thread is all about - and for good reason! A user posted a thread asking how they could help out with the mainsite coding. Several people were helpful, some were... not so much.

(quotes Vitae's post here)

When I read this, I became a sad techie. FurAffinity loves when people help out! Rather than have the administration punish Vitae unilaterally, like we normally would, I decided to do something a little more... fitting. Since Vitae was complaining about how useless helping out is, I decided to put their punishment in your hands. Directly above me, there are several poll options. Whichever poll option has the most votes at the end of tomorrow (that is, 00:43 Wednesday, EDT) will be Vitae's punishment. Feel free to suggest your own in the thread as well!


Some folks jump right on the bandwagon and start suggesting punishments. Others, however, aren't too thrilled at the idea of someone being called out and punished for having an opinion.

LadyMissie: "Someone stated an opinion? Holy mother of FUCK. You have some serious butthurt. God damn."
blackfuredfox: "welcome to life. this is how things function in life with EVERYTHING. after awhile you stop giving a shit and join in.

And some people are just there for the laughs:

Brazen: "Permanently change his username/title to Lord Sillynipples, and his avatar to a pair of cartoon boobs wearing tophats and monocles."

Takumi_L:"Man I failed a test today but I told my professor that there was some SRS furry drama on the internet so he passed me."

And finally, mod Carenath expresses their opinion of people upset by the post:"Okay, so we have established, that you guys have absolutely nothing better to do, you all win 9000 internets *roll eyes*"

It's interesting to note that for a brief period the thread was closed, and then reopened, the reason for which was never mentioned.

ETA: On Tsawolf's user page, LeoMidori asks: "Excuse me, I know I'm not a moderator or anything, but is this really the appropriate way to act? This is public humiliation."

Tsawolf replies: "As I explained in the thread you linked, the punishment (or rather, the decision thereof) fits the crime. It can hardly be considered public humiliation when the user chose to make the post in the first place! :)"

eli roth starts a civil war on ontd

[info]jar
Inglourious Basterds is the latest Quentin Tarantino movie. Oh No They Didn't, is a gossip site based on LJ that is big enough it's actually taken LJ severs out more than once all on its lonesome (I think the last time was when Michael Jackson died, but don't quote me). Eli Roth is the guy who plays Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in Inglourious Basterds (he also wrote/directed Cabin Fever and Hostel and its apparently awful sequel. That guy).

It all started when Eli Roth discovered the Inglourious Basterds Kink Meme.

Surprisingly, not via a fangirl breaking the sacred rule of Though Shalt Not Force Porn On The People In It AFAIK, but all on his lonesome. He was pretty much amused and also decided to show it to and discuss it with Quentin Tarantino (who apparently agreed with him the Donny would be a top), and also Christoph Waltz (who played Landa in IB) and apparently his parents, because he's that kind of classy. This garnered many facepalms from fangirls in places like 100_scalps, but shockingly, very little wank.

This resulted in a lot of twittering porn at him and his discovery of ONTD. He made a I <3 ONTD sign. Something a fair few celebs have done in the past.

After that it kind of got out of control, progressing from ONTD changing his Wiki page to say he was their Official Boyfriend to him twittering he would think about all of ONTD when he jerked off the night, then posting a picture of a very used looking tissue, then to a very candid interview with questions from a lot of people at ONTD*, to-- and here's where the wank really started, pun utterly and completely intended-- having cyber sex with various ONTD'ers on his MySpace. The Eli Roth tag on ONTD contains basically every screen cap and citation, so I'm not linking to everything individually. Scroll on down.

Then it came out that some of said cyber sexin' ONTD'ers sent him pictures of their boobs.

ONTD proceeds to have a 5000 comment long flamewar consisting of the brilliant arguments (paraphrased, but I assure you all quite accurate as you will see if you click this link): YOU'RE SLUTS. NO WE'RE NOT. YES YOU ARE. NO WE'RE NOT. YES YOU ARE. NO WE'RE NOT. YES YOU ARE.

I think, in conclusion, I would like to say that despite what you may think of Mr. Roth, he certainly knows how to make a girl laugh.

*This is the only thing that is locked, however, you only have to join ONTD to see it. It's... worth it.

[ETA]: Omar Doom answered a similar fangirl written survey for ONTD, said he wouldn't be at all opposed to seeing some fangirl boobs, and the wank goes ever on and on in the comments.

You're a plagiarist becase *I SAY SO*!

[info]ladyofviolets
A certain well-known person in the Hikaru no Go (Aja aka bookshop, whom you might remember thanks to other kerfuffles she's been in) claims that some BNF's had their fics plagiarised. And posts about it in her journal. Citing excerpts of the fics by both "victims" and "culprits" (which, in this repoter's opinions, aren't THAT similar) and a *very* wanky call to fandom.

So, yeah, SHUN HER, discredit her, go forth and spread the word. Let the trumpets of indignation sound!

And people start commenting about it. Some excerpts are here:

- What a skeeve. Can't you use your BNF to make ppl troll this journal?

- "She deleted her DW!" "that's the power of the BNF lol"

- The author tries to defend herself. And is hatepiled on. Errrr...

- "Please understand, I'm not implying that *any* of these fics are plagiarized, I'm saying that I'm not sure but I suspect..."

- A post on it by one of the supposedly plagiarised authors

One of the so-called "culprits" accused has had it, though! And she's NOT gonna take it! Watch as Aja keeps insisting that there was plagiarism, pretty much making an ass outta herself, and people come to umareawareru's defense.

... And finally, Aja snaps. And SCREAMS.

HNG fandom. Please leave me THE FUCK alone. Kthx )

Thank you so much, mousies from wank report!

ETA: [info]mischif tells us that Aishuu has written about the subject. Thanks to ya too!

Fail mods are failing

[info]sepiamagpie
Dearest, beloved, Fandom Wank.

I know you were looking forward to great excitement today. Some of you said words to me that indicated you anticipated fiery 'judgement' upon those who remained fresh and dewey white, those you call n00bs.

Anyway, you got today instead.

Stop anticipating things, we'll just break your hearts.


Sincerely,

Sepia P. Magpie, Esq.



PS: Use this post to reflect on how you could be better people. Or just fuck around in the comments.

The Wank Overload continues

[info]risha
I think that this has blown up enough to wear the big boy pants now.

In her ongoing quest to cause commentroversy, Meg at Cute Overload posted a particularly racky (and ancient) Cats N' Racks. Calls of "gross" and "hideous" and "tasteless" hit almost immediately, answered just as quickly with some fairly impassioned and/or overwrought comments defending it.

I'm sensing some hostility on the part of a few of the commenters. )

ETA: Should have been posted in OTF_Wank instead, but I'm an idiot. Oh well, enjoy! :D

But I thought Ronon was Polynesian??

[info]lasha
Mini meta wank.

SGA fandom is race wanking - yes, again. This time it started with a review Cesperanza wrote about last week's SGA episode, "Midway," aka the Teal'c and Ronon duke it out ep.  Ces says:

"this ep is going in the waste bin, because, I'm sorry, I am TOTALLY UNAMUSED by the Ronon/Teal'c fight. I think its humiliating, and treats the characters like animals, and I'm horrified at the betting, like it's--what--a cockfight? And to me it's racialized and repulsive: I was typing to Linabean: REPULSED REPULSED REPULSED and that about covers it. I'm absolutely repulsed. I don't care if it's supposed to be a showdown like Batman vs. Superman or the Hulk vs. Thing or whatever--fact is, you had two black men beating the shit out of each other and drawing the largest crowd we've ever seen on Atlantis thus far. And like, this thing of "Ronon and Teal'c have so much in common"--they DO NOT. THEY REALLY DO NOT. They are two men with darker skin than the rest of the cast, but Teal'c is overwhelmingly gentlemanly, and they were portraying Ronon like a beast, though he totally is NOT a beast, and just--WHAT THE FUCK, SGA, SERIOUSLY."

People come by, agree and discuss.  Some DON'T (and LiviaPenn gets involved).

Then, ZZanthalinn stops by to say that Jason Momoa is Polynesian, not black, hence Ronon is too? HERE. More of Momoa is Hawaiian thread.

However, Anonymous is just "pissed off" about the fight after reading Cesperanza's review.

They think of you naked... in Mass Effect.

[info]reeve
It seems that every time there's unclothed boobies in a video game, people get up in arms. The scapegoat this time around is Mass Effect, an XBox 360 RPG by BioWare, also known for the Knights of the Old Republic games. As in KotOR, Mass Effect players can foster relationships with non-playable characters, including romantic ones. However, this time around, your character can sleep with their romantic interest, in a very brief, tasteful scene (note that both het and lesbian options are available, but no mansex. Woe.). (ETA: [info]kahteh has pointed to a more revealing [but still brief and tasteful] sex scene here.)

A conservative talk show host hears about this game and the sex scene, and is not amused.

Trying so hard here not to paraphrase Zero Punctuation and make a 'Mass Erect' joke... )

ETA #2 - EA (the game's publisher) is insulted by the Fox News piece. The company's VP of Communications has this to say: Do you watch the Fox Network? Do you watch Family Guy? Have you ever seen The OC? Do you think the sexual situations in Mass Effect are any more graphic than scenes routinely aired on those shows? Do you honestly believe that young people have more exposure to Mass Effect than to those prime time shows?

Tits or GTFO, WoW. Srsly.

[info]soupspooks
Ow, World of Warcraft. Ow.

(I have said this aloud, causing the three year old I babysit for to ask me what's wrong. I don't have the heart to tell him.)

You know, people complain a lot about WoW. Whether it be about the game itself, or things in the game (class nerfs, racial abilities, attunement) but this time, the wank... the wank is special.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present... Boob Wank.

The latest patch, 2.1.0, has finally come down the pipe, breaking mods, adding new content, etc. There seems, however, to be an undocumented change in the patch notes: some have noticed that the breasts on their female characters are smaller.

The original thread was on the WoW forums, but I noticed it through [info]worldofwarcraft. People are bitching in the thread (I have some examples under the cut), and people on the community seem to disagree, because a number of the B/A shots are done poorly and at different angles. Summarizing the thread, some people are taking it seriously, some people are taking it "seriously", and some people are proud to point out that the rest are all idiots.

Oh, WoW fen. I'm a part of you, and yet I want to stand far, far away.

(For my own part, I did notice that my older characters seemed crisper, but I hadn't noticed anything about their breasts. If they've fixed my druid's retarded eye-glow issue, I'm willing to put up with anything, even a mastectomy).

Jin'do flattered, but Jin'do don't take out that kinda trash )

This is the closest thing I have to a 'tits or gtfo' icon.

Spider-Wank: Mary Jane, Domestic Goddess

[info]scapebabe
Rosie the Riveter must be in tears over this one, and it's obviously set back feminism 30 years. Apparently the boys at Sideshow Collectibles have produced a very very popular maquette of Mary Jane doing what any modern girl would do for her super hero man...wash his costume. In a thong, pearls, and low cut shirt. Not exactly a thrill to me admittedly, but ZOMG people, it's the fall of civilization!


At any rate, Here's the thread, plus pictures of the maquette in question.

Because you know, there's no sexism in the comics industry!

There's been a sudden shift in Earth's gravity...

[info]arionhunter
Newsarama posts a preview of Michael Turner's JLA #10 cover.

Cue lots of wank (this is just a tiny sample), insinuations of homosexuality, and race wank.

Also a few good parodies, and a quick-n-dirty of her actual spine.

An unwelcome disruption of cartoon grief!

[info]footsie
Over at someposifeed, the lastest three pages of Something Positive are posted. Davan's mom is shown dead, having went peacefully in her sleep, on the last page.

The local dumbass, jassa, replies "BOOBIES!!" (Apparently, there's a running joke about this that I just don't get.)

So far, over a hundred replies, ranging from "STFU" to "make me!" Small, but amusing.

Not safe for work. Not fuckin' safe for work.

[info]gun
Some bloody good ohnotheydidnot wank. NSFW.

A member posts topless pics of Clemence Poesy (aka Fleur Delacour, for those who have managed to avoid GoF hype for as long as humanly possible).

pink_dog wanks: Pff. Well, I don't think I'd want my 8 year old little brother finding these when he googles Fleur.

Others respond. Something makes me want to find screencaps of the many films in which David Thewlis has been butt-ass naked. Or a psychopath. Or a rapist. Or an alcoholic. Or a gangster who drops taxis on people.

Some other charming quotes:

your tits look deformed. and you are FAR from skinny, sorry love.

jeeze, nice freckles/moles. ewww

I am willing to bet every single cent of money I have that Clemence Poesy is a million times hotter than either of those posters.

And yet, still nothing on the rampant twincest.

[info]dikaios
Reporting in from the Devil May Cry fandom.

Just when I was proud to say that I hadn't seen too many wanks from my fandom, something has to come up and prove me wrong.

It's a charming, bite-sized wank that starts with Soan posting a meme from their journal in a Devil May Cry community on LJ.

Emily_jayden comments on it in a rather fangirly manner. Itzcolihqui takes issue with the typing style of the comment (even when they themselves seem to have a broken shift key). Hilarity ensues.

(As well as a cheap excuse to use this icon.)

ETA: Itcolihqui posts in rabidfanssuck to bitch about the issue.

Son of ETA: Entry in rabidfanssuck is bahleeted, but [info]crysiana has a screenshot in the comments here.

Let's all point at the newbie...

[info]beccastareyes
Hello, obligatory newbie post. But, I come bearing a mini-wank.

Anime Fanservice... Probably listed under things you should not ask about at a gaming board...

Guardians of Order is a company that makes roleplaying books, among them an anime role-playing system called Big Eyes Small Mouth. They maintain message board on their sites where fans can exchange information.

It isn't unusual to see fans as for anime recommendations, and that's how it started. A new member asked about anime he could watch with his girlfriend -- with one minor stipulation. His girlfriend equated female nudity/fanservicy shots with sexism, so he asked for series that didn't have any of that. While we were all mentally running through our anime colections to check for nudity, some comments were made on the peculiarity of the request... well... it spiraled downward and became the Big Battle between this Guy and his Repressed Hyper-Sensitive Girlfriend and the Intolerant Misogynist Bigots.
