In the name of the Moon, I will boycott you

[info]sepiamagpie
Nangbaby is boycotting Sailor Moon for crimes against humanity wait, wait, no, sorry, that was me listening to the language, not the message. Sorry, Viz is doing a redub with the cast's original names.

To quote Nangbaby so I don't misrepresent her:

I promised that I would leave the fandom if this happened and I will. As much as I would like to make it an immediate exit, please note that I have spent a significant chunk of my life loving Serena as Sailor Moon, Alan, Ann, Lita, Game Machine Man, Bertie, and Malachite (just like the sword in Ogre Battle). Forgive the dramatic death throes.

For those of you who think I’m overreacting, let me make this clear. Viz has essentially announced that the Sailor Moon loved by millions, the girl named Serena whose opening theme proclaims she fights evil by moonlight and wins love by daylight. is no more. She has been erased from continuity Sonja Belmont-style.



Now, I grew up with Sailor Moon like any red-blooded nineties Canadian, but I'm not sure quite sure what she's getting at. But she goes on to say:

Now imagine if George Lucas has in addition to making those changes, stated Chewbacca was actually canonically a lesbian and changed the scenes to make that very obvious, as well as claimed the Jedi’s goal was to oversee the development of humanity according to the Force and lead them into the light through taking over the Empire.


Now, this may have unfortunate implications with the fact the redub re-adds two original canon gay couples, but I'm also pretty sure Lucas did that anyway and we just moved on.

I mean, we all remember the makeout scene after Leia says she'd rather kiss a Wookie, right? And the interview with Chewbacca's new dub voice, Tilda Swinton, where she says she's proud to play Chewbacca as he was always meant to be - a proud queer woman covered head to toe in fur. She even did the interview in the Chewbacca costume, despite her height and the fact she actually did the whole role from a recording booth.

Sorry, I've deviated.

She knows who to blame, and she's darn well gonna do it.

As a normal person*, I have no powers against this blatant disenfranchisement and marginalization except that of my limited wallet, and I will say this. From this day forward I will not pay for an official piece of Sailor Moon material released from this date forward. I am boycotting Sailor Moon for the actions of Naoko Takeuchi — make no mistake Viz and Toei Animation are culpable as well, but in their defense, they are transparent in that they make the real culprit clear — the woman who authored the manga that inspired the anime and now has taken over the inspired creation.


She understands it's going to be a hard path, but she will face that path. And she's doing it because god help you if you call Sailor Moon Usagi.

I know my action alone is meaningless, but I encourage others to not pay and not give anything official any more time. It’s not enough to complain. We have to take the power away from them that we gave them to redress this wrong.

Sailor Moon CX will no longer update. As much as I would love to finish the story in a “Take That” no one reads it and no one cares, so I am abandoning it. I won’t burden people with my presence much longer.


To conclude, Viz is a monster, Naoko Takeuchi is a monster, and she's not posting her fanfic anymore.

Also there's a site!

The post concludes:

Edit: I’m back.

Hiddlesgate? Hiddlesplosion? His name doesn't even look like a word anymore.

[info]the_sun_is_up
Tom Hiddleston, British actor who played Loki in the movie Thor, and beloved of many many obsessive and sometimes creepy fangirls on Tumblr, has recently come out.

No, not as gay. As married.

And Tumblr suffers a wanksplosion, monitored gleefully by ONTD, as dozens of "Hiddlestoners" rend their hair and sob into their hug-pillows because some actor who doesn't even know who they are failed to share with them all the details of his personal life.

Let the flouncing commence!

—im so angry right now

For the first time i´ll write something for my own, i´m so sad and angry for this new things about Tom Hiddleston maybe many people think that i am a fucking crazy and maybe i am, i don´t care. But now I REGRET EVERYTHING i don´t like his wife or girlfriend whatever and i don´t think they look “cute” together. He most to said something about this before. This is over for me, i´m not a “hiddlestoner anymore” and just close this chapter of my life.

Goodbye hiddlestoners i won´t vote for him anymore and i need to cleen my dash :(


To which an anon replies:

—I think it's perfectly understandable why you would leave the fandom. I unfollowed many Hiddles blogs. I feel as though I am not ready to accept the couple yet and I want to take my time before returning to the fandom. Though I will admit it was a great fandom while it lasted. It just won't be the same anymore. :/

Cut because this got surprisingly long )

EDIT: There's more!

doremiylonenway: all of this thing about the wife is like “OMG, WHAT?” because we have never seen him with her like a couple, we saw pictures of them but we thought “another actress, or just a friend” and yes, it is shocking, I felt like I couldn’t breathe for a second, but honestly, I’m amazed of his ability to keep this in secret or in private, that’s awesome.

right now I feel like “I’ve been through things like this before, I can handle this” maybe this is what I needed to calm down my “obsession”

Not because I think “he’s single, there’s a chance for me to get married with him!!” pff, noo, by “I needed this” I mean.. “He has his own life, it’s time for you to get out of the internet and look for your own”

I now I’ve been wasting so much time here, I won’t let my blog but I need to put my attention on things that are happening in my life, not in someone else’s life… I though I learned this many years ago.

I realized that something is missing in my life right now, like years ago when I started to be a fangirl.

I love to be part of this fandom, I’m not saying goodbye, hiddleston’s army are the best fandom I’ve ever met, I love you all! but suddenly I have all this feelings and emotions… it’s hard.

I just wanted to take this out, thanks for reading!! and I’ll always say this, seriously: I love you :D and I won’t stop loving him


A reply to one of the earliest posts, when the fans were first hearing the news:

thelusciouslumberjack said: He’s not married… he wouldn’t hide it like that. Why would he? He would at least be wearing his wedding ring.

Yeah, I can't imagine why he wouldn't want his army of possessive fangirls to know that he's married.

EDIT 2: The Morning After:

nygis: I thought about it a bit last night and this morning, and to me it’s just plain shock. Of course Tom doesn’t owe us every detail of his personal life, and he has done nothing wrong. He hasn’t insulted us or anyone. But I think a lot of us felt at least some kind of connection to him from his interviews or his roles, so it was like we did sort of know him in a weird way. Then yesterday the “he’s married” bomb dropped and it was so out of nowhere that it felt like we didn’t know someone that we’d followed for a long time anymore.

Am I upset or mad at Tom? Absolutely not. Am I puking rainbows over his newly publicized relationship? Nope. But I do feel kind of down today in a bittersweet way, like someone ripped my bandaid off before my little papercut healed. I think I have a right to feel at least a little blue about the unexpected situation.


mcelise responds: I agree with all of this. Let everyone have their own reactions, and deal in their own way, even if you don’t agree. Don’t be rude and call them crazy and insist that they should react exactly as you do. No one ever reacts the same as another person, and as long as we all realize this and allow everyone space to deal (or not) in the way that is natural to them.

This too, shall pass.


suphiddles: The thing that dissapoints me is the huge loss of character: normally he’s so open and charming with the press and his fans( that is one of the things which made me like him as an actor so much) but now it’s just bamn- no warning- no inkling of this absolutely enormous elephant in the room

qchord: until the dust settles

i am not checking the hiddles tag.

it used to be my favourite tag, second to martin freeman. it was like going to a land of bunnies.

it’s not anymore..it’s just giving me chest pains.


EDIT 3: Whoops, looks like we've got some wanking inside the house. For those wishing to avoid the unfunnybusiness, it's in the thread that mentions Michael Fassbender.

NOBODY EXPECTS IT.

[info]faultypremise
With apologies to Monty Python.

Jaina: Trouble at Fanficrants.
Kutsuwamushi: Oh no - what kind of trouble?
Jaina: Ona trlls 's rilin' up the 'mmunity.
Kutsuwamushi: Pardon?
Jaina: Ona trolls 's rilin' up the 'mmunity.
Kutsuwamushi: I don't understand what you're saying.
Jaina: [irritated] One of the trolls is riling up the community.
Kutsuwamushi: Well what on earth does that mean?
Jaina: *I* don't know - Theo Harrison just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at Fanficrants, that's all - I didn't expect a kind of Wankish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The door flies open and Wanker Izzanami enters, flanked by two junior wankers, Jinxy-sama and Ravyn Skye]

NOBODY EXPECTS THE WANKISH INQUISITION! )

ETA!

Izzanami: Wankers, we are being mocked!
Jinxy-sama: What?! No one mocks the Wankish Inquisition!
Izzanami: Ha! Ha! Ha! I have the perfect plan.... Wankers, fetch... the EMPTY THREATS OF DOOMY DOOMINESS!

"Now he is just as much an iulluninati pawn as his hero lady gaga."

[info]hobosocks
Thank you, [info]wank_report mousie, for this little morsel of sheer, unadulterated crazypants.

In the land of figure skating, all was quiet -- well, okay, all was wanky, but no more than usual. Then, Aunt Joyce (skating's most popular blogger, perpetrator of much unfunnybusiness, and generally awful human being) makes a post about the retirement of popular and controversial figure skater Johnny Weir. The actual post is rather disgustingly homo and transphobic, so we won't really dwell on it. It doesn't have much of anything to do with the impending weirdness that follows.

Now, a good number of Johnny Weir's fans are well known for their special snowflake attitude, so I'm sure you can all see where this is going.

At first, the comments are generally divided between snarking about Johnny's career and outrage over the fact that AJ is basically a huge ass. That is, until this comment, when, to quote directly from the wank_report, "someone claiming to know Johnny's friends (who he calls the Dingles) IRL pipes up, claiming that Johnny is happy now after being in a black hole of despair following the Vancouver Olympics, and even has a new special someone. Of note, he says that Johnny doesn't really hang out with the Hollywood types, but prefers a small circle of personal dingles (aka friends). "

Initial response is a mix of people thanking the commenter for their insight and more wank about Johnny's personal life. Until somebody else who claims to know the Dingles chimes in.

Then it gets downright bizarre.

I quite like this fanfiction, but could you also include Evan not winning in Vancover, and werekittens if at all possible. )

In conclusion: LOL, Dingles. I still can't get over that.

EDIT: Thanks to [info]tarash, who pointed out that a previous pseuicide had been carried out by none other than Johnny Weir's astral wife. It's a good thing they have phoenix down on the astral plane. Some of the people mentioned by name in this wank are also mentioned there. I still don't know what's going on.

The Ware-Ackles Strikes Back: Daughter of the Ware

[info]stele3
A gentle palate cleanser, if you will. Retread of an old wank, but this little twist was too wtf to let it get buried in the many ETAs to that post.

Everybody remembers Stephanie Ware, right? Whackjob who goes around various Internet sites claiming in broken English that she is the true wife of Jensen Ackles of the tv show Supernatural, despite those ugly, filthy lies about Jensen marrying his co-star Danneel Harris?

Well, I'm sure that we'll all be happy to discover that now Jared Padalecki, Ackles' Supernatural co-star, has found his own true love, in Bianca Ware!

Stephanie Ware's daughter.

Bianca Ware-Padalecki says: Everybody get yourselves prepared to laugh at the fake impending wedding of Jensen Ackles (my real life stepfather) and Danneel Harris…

.....which. Makes her -- how old? Maybe Padalecki likes 'em (really) young?? Or Ackles likes 'em older. Me, I don't like 'em at all, not one bit.

Oh, she also claims that Supernatural is moving filming to Jacksonville, FL to be near their new Ware-wives. So I guess at least we have a location for the nexus of crazy.

Many thanks to [info]lissa_ann   for the headsup.

Hey Fandom Wank! Tired of Diana Gabaldon's fans not understanding the difference between fanfic and plagiarism? I know I am!

So let's have some real plagiarism!

Meet kittystrife. Her entire LJ, from fannish to personal posts, right down to the profile, appears to have been lifted from an assortment of other fans.

I am too lazy to link all the instances so far, but it all started here. Other links are here, here, and here.

Like musesfool, I swear those BSG ep reviews aren't hers, but I don't know who they belong to. I'm sure there's lots of other lifted stuff I don't know either. See anything you recognize?

Also, shall we start the countdown to deletion? 5...4...3...

ETA: Thank you, [info]onetimeoffer for doing all the work!

WTF, Y'ALL??!!!

[info]maximuski
[info]midnight_charm just can't stop wanking. She apparently figured her convoluted theories were too much for poor LiveJournal to handle, and she moved to a brand new blog.

But first, she left this gem at her journal:

You have been the victim of a mind control experiment. Alan Ball is actually that chick from V )


So, now with the blog. The characters have multiple personality disorders. True Blood really is fucked up, man :O )

BONUS: You also can't miss Bill fans are like rabid Bush or Ann Coulter supporters.

ETA: The crazy takes a whole new level with Sookie is USA and Eric is Jesus (thanks to [info]mariem_1 for the find!)

ETA II: Hey guys, it's me again. This is from the About page of her blog:

While I adore reading and contemplating film theory and criticism I am far from a qualified expert in the field. My admittedly amateur forte is and has been for some time in the area of conspiracy research- sussing out propaganda and official lies with it’s attendant psyops and mind control techniques which are practiced on the unsuspecting population through the corporate controlled medium of television. I QUESTION EVERYTHING I am told and I diligently apply this motto to my analysis of True Blood. My rigorous intuition tells me Alan Ball is well versed in conspiracy lore and is using it to the hilt to tell the story of True Blood.

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

FYI: IchiRuki are fucking SOULMATES, goddamn!

[info]syncopation
So there's this video about Bleach voice actors who were at Kawaii-Kon, an anime convention hosted in Hawaii, where they were questioned about possible romantic preferences for the young man they provide voices for. Johnny Yong Bosch (JYB) is the voice behind Kurosaki Ichigo for the English dub, while Morita Masakazu (MM) is the Japanese seiyū for the dashing hero. No, he's not really dashing. More like cranky.

the toobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQfkhEK04jE

Then someone dared to ask the million-dollar question: do they prefer RUKIA or ORIHIME for Ichigo?

In summation, JYB & MM both said "Orihime." So there!
OH. HELL. NO. Voice actors aren't allowed opinions! )
But this series isn't about ROMANCE!!! )

Bonus references to Avatar: the Last Airbender wank here.

This has been a busy, busy week for Bleach fandom! I have some caps, but tinypic keeps re-sizing the images.

Finally, a friendly reminder to my fellow wankas: don't feed the trolls.

:throws cheese to mousey for collecting links:

Aww, ETA's for breakfast? You're too kind! )
We have contact! )

Edit 3: Fandom Wank's name was dropped like it's hott. [info]jaseroque got a special mention for the translation.

R/K shippers can't get away with murder according to Summit.

[info]vitalitat
Delaneyg84 is a well known crazy Rob/Kristen shipper who reports on the personal lives of this amazing duo as if she's BFFs with them. Because of her amazing reporting skills she's gained a large following of fans online. In the past she has claimed that her husband works for Summit. This must be the way she gets her R/K hot-off-the-press info. Like this, her first exclusive )

But I digress, because recently she leaked several photos of the upcoming Eclipse movie (ty for the links, and here and here too, linking to suspended twitpic accout), declaring that if she were to go out she might as well go out with a bang and make it good. Shit talking about Summit right after that probably didn't help anything at all because Summit is suing Miss Delaney. And for good measure, here is the filing on Justia.

As said before, she has many, many fans, who already have her back and are offering up financial services in her time of need (however, I should add that she's declined the offer).


All links, sources, and whatnot was collected from the posts about this made by the lovely ladies at ontd_twatlight.

ETA:

Look like Summit was planning on selling the images as movie promo cards for $20 a piece!

James and Lily would make a cup dance on baby Dudley's head, make him cry and lock him in a cupboard

[info]mariem_1
Snapedom issued a new challenge - Bullies and Fathers. This topic was suggested by [info]mary_j_59. She wrote:

What convinces so many people that Snape is a bully by nature, and abusive? And why do people like me - who can see that he actually does bully, and is even abusive on a couple of occasions - insist that, nevertheless, Severus is far more victim than perpetrator, and is neither habitually abusive, nor an habitual bully?

That seems to be the real gulf between the Snape lovers and the Snape haters, and it's a sore point.

And it actually goes along with Snape as a father. I'm sure that those who see Snape as bully would insist that Snape would be an abusive father, whereas I and others see him as struggling to break the chain of abuse -and succeeding. Again, Rowling would like us to see Harry this way, but she never shows us Harry holding back, being sorry, reconsidering his actions - all of which she actually does show us in Severus. So I can't buy the "happy family/Harry as good father" picture she tries to sell us in the epilogue. I can, on the other hand, see Snape as a good father, perhaps most of all because he does have a conscience (however rudimentary - this sets him apart from just about everyone in the Wizarding World) and is not afraid to discipline the children in his care.


[info]sylvanawood added:

I would like to extend this topic to other fathers in the wizarding world. How about James? We know he was a bully, we are being told he was a good father. How do you see it?

How about Remus Lupin who ran away from his responsibility but later totally fell in love with his son?

And Arthur Weasley who is presented as the model father? Some call him hen-pecked, some Molly's eightst child. He certainly seems like the anti-bully. What do you think?

How about Lucius Malfoy? Would Sirius have been a good father or would he have lost interest when the child didn't turn out the way he wanted? Can you think of others?


Snapefen proceeded to answer that Snape was never a bully, that Lucius was a good father and that Arthur, Remus and Harry were bad fathers. [info]pearlette and [info]night_train_fm tried to disagree with that and were told that James and Lily would've abused Dudley, that Dumbledore wanted Harry to be abused by the Dursleys and sent Hagrid to Harry in order to make Harry emotionally dependent on Dumbledore, that the Wesleys are Gryffindor propagandists who forget nothing and learn nothing, that Albus Severus probably thinks that his father hates him because his relatives constantly diss Snape, that Draco is watching out at the Ministry, keeping Hermione's self-righteousness in check (and even JKR doesn't know about that). Never change, Snapefen!

ETA: marionros graced this wank with her loony presence.

ETA 2: sylvanawood thinks we all are stupid and lazy:

Discussing old topics again after a while will often give new ideas, so banning that or rolling your eyes over it is just as silly. We're not one of those communities who are too stupid and lazy to come up with their own stuff and thus find nothing better to do than to mock what others do, after all.

THIS IS A BEAR-LEVEL THREAT HERE!

[info]hypno_jango
Hetalia is a manga/anime series that stars anthropomorphizations of different countries. Stephen Colbert is America (And So Can You). rover_09 posts that "her friend" posted a fanart to the Stephen Colbert forums. Most would think it means it's yet another silly fanart of America and Colbert standing in front of the American flag being America. But to everyone's horror, it's a Colbert/America/Bandit Keith three-way.

The whole community: TAKE THAT DOWN NOW! *FAIL GIFS*

rover_09 reminds the community about "her friend".

Edit:

I am not endorsing this. I put this up because she sent it to me and I wanted to see what others thought of it. You want to yell at someone, go talk to her.


And now we got a sockpuppet troll on page 5: suckonthisnews!

Cut for tl;dr troll )

400+ replies and rising.

Edit: The Colbert forum post was finally taken down right before this post hit 600.

The Not So Triumphant Return of Victoria Bitter, aka thanfiction, part the third

[info]snacky
Lost in the comments of the last post, [info]julian_black tells us that idiomagic has spit out the kool-aid.

The evil twin is yesterday's news, people. Now there's an UNDEAD SHAMAN-WIZARD.

Yeah, I'll repeat that: UNDEAD SHAMAN-WIZARD.

I don't even know. Does it top channeling fictional hobbits? You decide.



ETA: HOLD THE PHONE: UNDEAD SHAMAN-WIZARD EMAILS HERE! All personal info redacted, of course. Thanks [info]bacon_lover!

Also, idiomagic would like us to know that She never drank the kool-aid. She was *cue dramatic music* THE MOLE!

I dunno, there's a reason Deep Throat's identity was never revealed...





Reminder: please use male pronouns when referring to VB/thanfiction, and leave the transfail in the other post, thanks.

No fur bashing plz

[info]oulangi
Meet Lironess, a person of such stunning perfection that she feels confident, nay obliged, to point out the shortcomings of others. Constantly.

When she's not diagnosing diseases over the internet, she's apparently advocating approaching strangers at cons with skin diseases to ask them:

"OMG What the hell is wrong with your skin?"

Yeah, not even kidding*.

Unfortunately no one told [info]betnoir that icky diseased people exist solely as teaching moments for the beautiful people, and that she better learn to live with it or else spend the rest of her life in misery. Luckily for her then, that [info]lironess is here to explain it to her.

The spat lands in [info]sf_drama, where [info]lironess baleeted her most offensive comments (though considering what's left - just WOW) and apparently whole threads if bizarro goodness like handing out condoms to furries, and horse sex, and her inability to spell freak. she then demonstrates her utter lack of getting teh internets, as well as proving that there really isn't a maximum fail quota per post.

After calling like, everyone, a coward or accusing them of hiding (for commenting in an unlocked post in a very public community? huh?) [info]lironess prepares her flounce by calling [info]betnoir (and everyone else) out. As in, *cue scareh music* she can FIND people:

"It has been fun to watch you all hide on a community and make your statements thinking I would not see and reply. However, I can find all of you, any where."

[info]betnoir names a place and time.

but yanno, it's waaaay to far, plus it'd be a hassle and [info]betnoir's fucking parents would sue and it would be a big mess and [info]lironess doesn't care enough to bother. Or something.



*I debated if this should be in UNF because disability!fail = so fucking unfunny, plus there's bonus!fail on both sides, but for sheer overwhelming WTF wankiness I think it belongs here.

The Not So Triumphant Return of Victoria Bitter, aka thanfiction, part 2

Just some links that might have got lost in the faily shuffle of the last post:

His son? A bird. (PROOF!)

Turimel updates her LJ with screencaps.

Famous last words. :( :( :(

Can this get any more ridiculous? I can't even imagine, but I'm sure VB will think of something.

Courtesy of wank_report....

[info]snacky
The not quite so triumphant return of Victoria Bitter.

In which we discover that VB is the writer of a very popular HP fanfic, and *GASP* is planning a con for fans of said fic to get together. By con, I mean "convention" and not "swindle" although, who knows, it could be one and the same again.

Did you know that VB, in his/her* new fandom persona, has "fought with three different paramilitias", "never thought about an ideal job outside of the military", "has a heart condition that gives me less than ten years to live", and is super chivalrous: "Even after coming nearer than I ever have to being destroyed by a woman I loved for almost seven long years, even after she took my son from me without so much as a goodbye and left me destitute for someone she'd been seeing behind my back, I still hold no grudge against womankind."

All these fun facts and more to be had here. Deleted, but screencapped here, and html here.


(Look, I know there's no wank yet, but it's VB and Turimel, so let's take a nice stroll down memory lane.)


*am not sure if VB is actually trans or if IDing as male is part of the scam, so covering my bases here. ETA, again: Okay, folks, I've been away the whole day, and I've got back to an exploding inbox, and I haven't had the chance to go through the whole thing, but I wanted to address this issue.

I was trying to err on the side of caution in regards to past actions, but doesn't matter if I'm unsure or not, using female pronouns or referring to VB/thanfiction as "s/he" "it" or "s/h/it" is disrespectful and hurtful to other transfolk, and I apologize for this. I'm sorry that my choice of pronouns has cause people distress.

So please stick to the male pronouns. Regardless of if this is VB's identity or just another grift, it stands less of a chance of hurting people if you use the male pronouns.

Also, anons, tread carefully. I turned anon commenting on so everyone could play, so let's not ruin it, okay?




ETA, ONCE AGAIN: Anon commenting is off. And please read this. Thank you, [info]white_serpent.

A diversion!

[info]the_mouse
I know we've had a few HP posts lately, so of course it's time for something Twilight related. I saw this posted in a forum I lurk in and felt some of you might find it interesting, even if it is a few months old.

This doesn't involve Twilighters so much as the dark side of the fandom: TwilightSucks.com. Specifically, the Fangirl Encounters forum.

First, the backstory. You see, the OP, Nyxbel Hawthorne, has a cousin who is a bit obsessed with Twilight. So obsessed, in fact, that when she catches Nyx browsing TwilightSucks.com, she is moved to spit in Nyx's yogurt when Nyx is in the other room. Nyx finds out with the spoon in her mouth, spits out the yogurt, then takes to the TwilightSucks fora in order to have the members come up with ideas for revenge. Interestingly, in later iterations of the tale she says she threw up for "a half hour" after, though in the initial post she makes absolutely no mention of this. She posts two threads, one in which members vote on which plan of revenge she should implement, and one in which she announces the winner.

What happens next is fairly interesting indeed. )

EDIT, per [info]ara: Seems the thread has been archived in the "Bullshit Encounters" forum. Was it all a dream?

internet lawyers and exploding sanguinarians

[info]randomsome1
Once upon a time there was Kia, aka Angelica Caprice aka absintheminded aka kiastar67 aka AyahuascaDreams, a Wincest-shipping self-professed vegetarian vampire who feels she has been persecuted on the internets.

No, seriously.

Kia's problems with the internets started on buzznet.com, where some of her statements were brought into question. For example, there's the bit where she said the show Supernatural promotes factual interpretations of paganism and paranormal whatnot. (Her posts were deleted, but the bulk of them remain as quotes in other people's posts. Watch for kiastar67 or absintheminded.)

Also, she found herself the subject of mockery for discussing her vampiric and/or sanguinarian leanings. In a Question of the Day post about vampires, Kia took a question about the vampire bill of rights seriously:
    Yes, it is called the Black Veil! It was written a while back by a Sanguinarian from House Kheperu and COVICA . It is a code of Ethics for the Vampire/ Vampyre/ Sanguinarian community!
And, when prodded further, proceeded to claim that author Charlaine Harris is secretly promoting the sanguinarian agenda.
    Well, I'm SURE no one here knows exactly where she got it or her EXACT meaning or purpose.
And then, as if realizing she was burying herself, decided to bury buzznet readers. In text.
    WHAT? Hell NO! I learn from YOU GUYS daily! I know a little about nothing. Its just called being sick and stuck so reading too much(until I ruined my eyes) and being, like that Astor Roth(?) song about college says,"can't i just stay in college? That's what I did...professional student. Also a weird assed childhood. LOLAnyway...I know THIS because I have been a Sang before they came "out of the coffins and into the light" of the media and books. There are some Sanguinarians and Swans on Buzznet but I would never out them (don't worry guys) That is just "being discreet" which is part of the Black Veil. They will speak if they feel comfortable. People do NOT want to speak out because of certain books or stereotypes (remember what you guys said about OTHER stereotypes before laughing about this) Hell yes you can have sex without that. Blood play is a dangerous thing nowadays and donors (swans) are screened and taken care. In blood-letting or "feeding' they do say it is best to separate sex and that aspect. You can take life force through many ways (energy vampyres) and even those that think they can take only through blood can get it through sex Prana and Chakras (separate from the blood) It is VERY dangerous if people do not know what they are doing,the person and what they might have , how to take it without infection or hurting the donor. It is NOT something I would suggest! Sex (if you are an adult I will say because i am being official) is great for energy work as the energy from this is IMMENSE when done properly to TAKE Prana! If a Sanguinarian tells you they can turn into a bat, live forever, not go out in the sun(some don't do well in DIRECT sunlight) and things like that...run.They are nutters! Did that help?

And then gets into an argument over whether or not she said vampires were sanguinarians, or whether or not she knows psychic vampire sanguinarians, or . . . Yeah. It goes on for just about ever.


Things stayed quiet for a little bit. Then, on November 19th, tumblr user focahontas posted a screencap of some of Kia's crazy. This post got reblogged by a few users, then by newageamazon, who added "Fun fact, folks: nobody cares if you wank to Wincest. But if you habitually make yourself look like an idiot in a public forum? That’s when people start to care."

Doing so, of course, was like throwing rocks at the proverbial beehive.

Kia responded by getting a little passive-aggressive on her twitter. She performed brilliant tactical ass-covering by cutting out letters of the names of people she felt had wronged her, thus rendering her invisible to the eye of the internets. No one ever saw her snarking against those internet meanies, or expressing at length her thoughts on her oppression.

Wait, that's not how it worked at all. Seriously, someone get this woman a livejournal. (Extra points for Godwin's, "I'm not anti-gay, I have gay friends," use of "feminist" as an insult, and a random PERSECUTION macro.)

Buzznet user bznetgossipgrl tried to inject sanity into the cause; Kia responded by ejecting a rainbow-tone dissertation all over her myspace. Dissenters shall be obliterated! Though . . . if you scroll down far enough on her myspace, you'll learn how to curse people in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit--you know, like they did in the Old Testament. Or how to summon your very own sex demon.

Her long-winded attacks on high-profile buzznet members--a mod included--eventually resulted in her being banned from buzznet. So, feeling extra-persecuted, Kia fired off a cease & desist to Buzznet staff. This cease & desist. Word for word. ETA: Original twitter links are gone, but other people are talking about it: 1 2 3 4 5


Kia's talking about internet lawyers and lawsuits. Some buzznet users are talking about Kia's talking about internet lawyers and lawsuits. I get the feeling this one's gonna be like C.S., only with more sex demons and possibly a tasty, tasty Sam/Dean center.

ETA 2--Holy Geometry, now we're speaking Sanguinarian!: Kia takes on Landover Baptist--yes, those guys.
    Wow, people are very intolerant. Hey, that Ok, I will post the site on Buzznet and let people come and debate! I honestly doubt that any of you seriously know what a Sanguinarian is. Therefore, how can you speak on those people. Have you ever heard of the Yazidi people? I have a feeling 99.9% will say NO(even if they do worship angles) (...)
Also, her collegiate kid who's helping her start her hippietrancedojojuicebarclub was fourteen last year--but that's okay, she's a business-owning super-genius.
    You make fun of people that are in need of med's? My daughter has Iritis and is 14 with a 170 IQ.She speaks Fluent Japanese and already has opened a business. She is slightly asthmatic and is on Coricoid steriods for a time. For the Iritis she takes eye drops. Even ON these meds she is 10 fold ahead of where you will ever be.She has apathy and compassion and offered her blood when her friend was in an accident,even though she is in deep fear of needles due to painful test. She is half Native American(her father and i are half) and also speaks 2 basically dead languages ,along with Latin and Sanguinese. \
ETA 3--She Comes From a Land Down Under (the ocean): Kia's people are from Atlantis.

Also, she knows more about "angles"--and everything else--than you do. Even if those biased close-minded Judeocentric meanies on the Supernatural boards don't believe her.
    Well wait, first,these are olf Jewish "angles" and the kaball;ah is some serious S***. I have studied it for let's see, over 20 years ,and STILL have to keep many books to understand the higher issues ,KOS and HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT.
    (...)
    I have been dealing with magic, from vodoun, Palomayombe, Sanguinese (one you will NEVER see your entire life no matter what you do) Druidism, Paganism, most South American Animism and spirit believes,Enochian magic, Luciferianism,and so many many more since i was about 6. I own a magic gallery that sells items from antiquity some so rare we have found only one, many from dig sites, etc. Getting the picture? I grew up living with many different Indigenous peoples and learning culture and magic and it is sad when rubes like you have to put that down, can't understand.
And for the tasty Sam/Dean filling! You don't know Sam and Dean like she does, because of her cultural learnings. Wincest is okay because the Pharaohs did it, and because it's in the bible; and so, it's wrong for us to judge. I . . . I think I've been schooled, guys.

ETA 4--I'm on the internets, corruptin ur babeez: Either she's googling herself or has a myspace tracker; the f_wank post has been found. No matter her previous thoughts on being involved with internet drama, her response is as you might imagine: yet another endless twitter rant. Journalfen's users are losers and drama queens, and she knows her internet law. It looks like she's read my Strikethrough writeup and decided it means I'm a pedophile--and though she believes Wincest is all well and good, she feels her child is in danger from me. She also is pretty sure I'm Newageamazon. That's absurd. I'm [info]caito. And tomorrow she plans to take this post and "show us the truth." I wonder if she can do it in tie-dye. Alas, no dice. But like the creepy mouthbreather hell-bent on handing their hardcore RPS fic to their fannish idol, we shall watch and wait.
