So, finding wank on DeviantART is probably one of those fish-bucket things, but this one has been going on for at least a week and shows no signs of stopping. And has the potential to get all sorts of fun depending on what happens tonight! :)

( This turned out to be much longer than it looked orginially, so have a cut! )

But in case that way too teal deer for you... I shall summarized!

1) Disney Art group ran by Mod #1 & Mod #2 on DeviantArt was hacked, everything deleted.
2) Mod #1 creates new group, invites somebody to be co-mod - not Mod #2
3) Mod #2 says "Wah! Mod #1 deleted everything so he can make his own group!" Provides group log screencaps to prove it
4) Mod #1 says "Nuy-huh! Mod #2 set me up as she is a big meanie!" Provides screenshot of DeviantArt message to prove it
5) Battles lines are drawn, people pick sides... and everyone else is all confuzzed to which screenshot is actually 'shopped. And I realize that I've been obsessively refreshing all pages involved several times a day and decide this needs to be shared.

ETA: borishu's Live Stream videos seem to show exactly what her screenshots do, although to be fair I don't have sound and the video quality isn't the best. So far all I know she's doing some serious evil cackling about how she'll get madameLEOTA and his little dog too! You can watch the 3 videos she did last night on her Live Stream account.. madameLEOTA has, as of yet, not responded to the videos.

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.

I found this at wank_report and have too much time on my hands this week. There were 333 comments when I started the recap.

MTV.com has a Twilight Tuesday thing every uh, Tuesday. Let me 'splain, no there is too much. Let me sum up. Stephenie Meyer's Vampire series Twilight is now also a movie coming out in December and staring Cedric Diggory (aka RPATZZ). MTV is making the movie and this blog every Tuesday is part of their marketing strategy.

Today's post is about three sophomore girls from Texas who formed "The Bella Cullens." Larry, the blog writer, falls all over their jailbait asses:

"I had seen their MySpace page and heard some of their songs, but I was honestly amazed by how pretty their voices and melodies are, and with lyrics like “Edward’s so hot he can set the house on fire/he’s a sexy vampire,” these teens already have more talent than all the Pussycat Dolls put together."

1. Those are good lyrics? WOT?
2. More talent than the who now? Doesn't slime mold have more talent?
3. The band's name abbreviated is BCP. But remember only condoms help prevent STDs.


Most comments are some variation on "Larry, you fail" or "I <3 LARRY!":

My Sparkly Peen sings better, even when it drools for muh Bella.

But Janet comes to Larry's rescue:

Yikes people are being harsh. :) He has a lot of weeks to fill before december and I’m sure summit wouldn’t let him give us big stuff like clips every week and remember these are a gift. I’ve never seen people do something like this before to promote a movie…weekly updates I mean. Larry, I really thought it was the trailer this week and now I feel silly.

Under the cut I C&P for your pleasure.

( It goes back and forth between the Twimoms and the Twatlighters and the haters. )

ETA: LARRY SPEAKS!:( Read more... )

ETA w/XTRA SPARKLES: http://www.thebellacullenproject.com (warning: music embedded in site) is getting spammed on the comment pages by people claiming to be from ontd_twatlight. Twatlighters are saying it is not them. (Sorry can't like to comment pages directly.)

ETA part 9.546382023: MTV blog has posted the EW photo. There may be more comments to come though currently it is at 0. Larry wants to know what people think! *CACKLE*

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.

To some people, Raven-Symone will always be the cute little toddler from The Cosby Show. To others, she'll always be remembered as the psychic comedienne on the Disney Channel hit, That's So Raven, or perhaps the best-known founding member of the girl group, The Cheetah Girls.

To Derrick, an adult man who is the founder and maintainer of the huge, years-old fan site Raven-Symone.org, she is a constant source of disappointment, and he's had enough.

You see, Derrick is extremely butthurt that Raven didn't do more to promote her last album. Blaming Raven personally for the behavior of: her record label, her management, her web designer (seriously), her publicist and even her record-buying audience, Derrick has decided to shut down his site, but not before tl;dr-ing about why Raven sucks.

( Raven was STANDOFFISH when I met her. My righteous indignation, let me show it to you. )

Most of the wank I've seen about this is in friends-only communities, but, between the comments on Perez Hilton ("I'm so glad Derrick decided to do something with his life instead of stalking this girl"/ many variations of "Bitch is NOT MILEY ENOUGH for this kind of diva attitude!") and the posting on ONTD, ("I've heard she's a bitch!"/ "You can't act all high-and-mighty and pretend to take the mature high-road when you've been the maintainer of a fansite for Raven Symone")... I'm confident there's still more than enough wank to go around.

Of the many shows currently playing on Broadway, one of the more popular for the family set is The Little Mermaid at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre.

Our wankstory begins on the Broadway World message boards, when EdwinDrood172 posts that he saw one of the cast members from TLM outside, in his makeup and hair, smoking a cigarette.

( He says... )

The very first comment on the thread summed it up with "This should go well."

It is later figured out - and without a lot of difficulty - that the "offending" cast member was Tyler Maynard, who plays Flotsam. (*points at icon* That's him.) But beyond all of that, is a lot of rending of garments, so to speak, about how it's disrespectful and he is a "Disney employee" and he doesn't deserve to be in the show if he smokes, yadda yadda yadda.

Four pages later, they're still going strong. There's some bonus "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" comments as well.

Once upon a time, in a wonderful land full of profit, the good company Disney, not content with its other triumphs, decided to go out and establish itself on Broadway. And thus it was that Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, Mary Poppins, The Lion King and Aida came to the fair city of New York and delighted the hearts of children and adults everywhere. But not all were pleased with the works of Disney, and seeing the happy faces of children spilling out of Disney musicals darkened the hearts of posters on Broadway internet boards. A great evil began to arise, and the dark-hearted ones attempted to bring doubt to those who loved the good Disney. "The Disneyfication of Broadway is bad!" they cried. "Where are the days of original musicals? Why must Disney take so many theaters?" But Disney carried on with their work, undaunted.

And then it was that Disney decided to expand its happy empire with The Little Mermaid. Rumors began to swirl, encouraged by the dark hearts of the doubting internets posters: how will this be staged? Will there be water involved? Will it be as wretched as Tarzan? But their most insidious tool of evil was.... casting rumors. "Who will play the roles?" the innocently curious people asked, not knowing the danger. And then it was that someone claimed that Norm Lewis would play Triton, the father of Ariel the mermaid. And then it followed that wank exploded in the dark internet realm of Broadwayworld, for the rumored Ariel is white, and lo, Norm Lewis is African American.

A great battle was waged with terrible cost. FOAnatic lead the charge with an inability to imagine just how this will work out:
Please someone explain this to me.

Ariel is white.

I'm all for color-blind casting, but when it's believeable.

This, I don't get.

Sweeping generalizations were made by Fenchurch (who rather enthusiastically throws him/herself into such threads):
The debate itself is racist. Having a problem with a person in a role solely based on their skin color is racist.

Period. End of Story. There's no getting around it, no verisimilitude arguments, they don't hold water. If you can't see past the skin color of a person, you're a racist.

Plain and simple.

Fenchurch and FOAnatic continued to duel (My argument is right, his argument debases humanity), and others joined in. As time went on, some fell to fighting over the concept of color-blind casting, and others spoke of mermaid genetics and discussed the sad discrimination against giant lobsters and bird actors in the musical industry. Some tried to walk a middle-ground and come up with explanations as to why a merman could be black and his merdaughter be white. But the darkest hour came when Fenchurch implied that those in disagreement with him were members of the KKK:
If it's a problem for you, then you're more than welcome to put on a white sheet and protest in front of the theater, or in frony of Disney's offices.

Wildly exaggerated rhetoric flew. Those who could threw up the defenses of mockery and graphics, but still the uncomprehending raged on:
You obviously don't know me at all....Or anything about biracial families...which exist all over the country...there are families who have a black parent and a white parent and blonde-haired/blue eyed kids....look at the Singerl twins...perfect example...That's all I'm gonna say about this...I can't educate the totally STUPID!!!!!!!

Will there be a happy ending, or will chaos rule the land? Good Disney didn't write this one, but since it involves the evil internet, I doubt the perfect ending is in sight.

Copied from wank_report:

The Lion King Fanart archive is a huge cornucopia of all animals Disney style. It used to be about the actual movie at one point, but now it looks like purple wolves with wings and magic powahz as well as goth, rocker emo lions are par for the course. Anyway, the site owner has started cracking down on off-topic art and violence that exceeds a G-PG rating; a post on this subject can be seen in the Administrator's Message on the main page.

Cue backlash and wank by a select group of artists.

In which we get some wanking glory about how no blood is allowed, and in which the Administrator himself says not to use the "don't like it, don't look at it" argument, but his calls are pretty much in vain.


More!

And it continues.

I DON'T WANT ATTENTION, GUYS.


Full of blockquote and lack of spell check for the whole family!

It may be small, but it's chock full of IMBD lunacy.

Over on the IMDB boards for the Lilo & Stitch tv series (which in my opinion blows every other Disney spinoff show out of the water), we have a thread about the possible return of Angel. For those of you who haven't seen the show, Angel is Experiment 624--I think that's the right number--and, well. Let's just say there's a very strong case for her being a canon Mary Sue. But we're here for the wank! Said wank is rather massive due to the instigator's 'unique' formatting, but I'm leaving it as-is so you folks get the full effect.

( HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  )

I'm quite afraid to look, but I'm almost certain that this Nima person is probably spewing her madness all over the series' board, so if you want more of her schizoid ravings, you know where to find it.

Why does my little fandom attract these weirdos? And why do we rival Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Dragonball Z for sheer volume of Mary Sue fanfiction? Ah, internet, you make me sad.

EDIT: Wow, I hit send too soon. I went ahead and looked at the rest of the board anyway...among other things, Nima announces Next week I am gonna kill myself. The reason I kill myself is because I am very upset. I am losing my husband and I have hard time at school and I couldn't take my life anymore. I am either gonna slit my own wrists, hang myself, place a plastic bag over my head or swallow medicines. I decided to place plastic bag over my head. Sorry guys.... I will miss all of you. I am all in your heart as always. This is my last week to talk to you guys at imdb.com</i>

INTERNET.

Over at gankutsuou, a challenge was made a while ago in the comm for shits and... more shitswell, giggles, kinda.

And it looks like it's paid off with The Best Contest Entry Ever (NWS, there's Disney characters and tears involved) by El Socko Puppeto kurama10

PLZremove kthx. People call troll. Apparently, in some people's heads, this is funny. And there is teh funnay picspam.

But most importantly, it's all about the Villefort-helicopter-penis icons.

Edit: I spell like I dance.

RattleRain crossposts an anti-Lion King rant to several groups, including rec.arts.disney.animation.

( It's insulting to peasants, whites, and - worst of all - HYENAS! )

Some of the veteran members have a history with this troll and mock him, and someone else pops in to give us a link to history of this troll, better known as Gaza, since about 1997 as well as his MO, as a warning. (Usenet takes trolling really seriously!)

"Gaza" comes back and violates Godwin's:

I don't mind lions being shown as lords of the jungle(or savannah). But, other animals happily greeting the birth of a lion cub? That's like watching black slaves welcome the birth of a massa or Jews celebrating the birth of one of Goerring's kids.

And, of course, a few people take the guy seriously:

"Gaza, it's a fucking DISNEY movie, you dolt. Does this have any significance to you?"

Samantha finally decides she's had it, telling the troll (now back under a foreign name, just like in the MO) to GET OVER IT! IT'S JUST A MOVIE!!!1 Pot, kettle.

"THE HYENA IS NOBODY'S BOOBOO!"

The troll's response after being told to fuck off. (I must icon this...)

'Tis but a small wank, but it's still going on...

EDIT: Links should be fixed now.

Every week or so I try to stop by the Station 8 Gargoyles comment room. It's usually not wanky, but this week it just exploded...

(Note: the messageboard's new messages are at the top, not the bottom, it's cleared every Monday. You also can't link to individual posts, so I'm copying everything relevent here.)

Apparently there is some newbie, Brooklyn X, on the board claiming Dragonball Z is better than everything. The oldbies beg to differ.

Greg Bishansky: (at some point before the board was cleared)
The plot of DBZ - Fight, Fight, Fight, You get stronger, Fight, Fight, Fight, They Get Stronger, Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight, You get much stronger, Fight, Fight, Fight, You win.

Brooklyn X:
( DBZ does too have a plot! Don't you know about the FIGHTS? DBZ is better than Cowboy Bebop!!!1 And better than Gargoyles, too, because it takes me longer to draw! )

Greg Bishansky: ( Thank you for proving my point. )

Brooklyn X: ( ALL CAPS FLAME!!!!!!111ONE! STOP COPYING/INSULTING ME BY DISAGREEING! YOU'RE RUDE AND UGLY! YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF! )

Several board regulars: WTF? Could we all stop fighting?

Brooklyn X: ( Yeah, Greg, stop fighting! DBZ is still better than Gargoyles! CN said it's the best; they must be right! And anime is not cartoons! )

Nickerous: ( This place is going to hell. Outta here for now. )

Lots of people: Everybody drop it!

...and then, just when you think it's over...

Brooklyn X: ( Evil MSTers drove my friend out of the fandom! You know, my friend who sounds and acts like me, and occasionally used my name? )

Greg Bishansky: ( Friend? Don't you mean sockpuppet? )

MacBeth: ( You caught me, I'm not Brooklyn X. I'm his brother. The real Brooklyn X just died in Iraq! )

What...the...FUCK?! O_O

First post, first wank, yadda yadda yadda...

This wank is more than a few years old, but it still runs through the ranks of Disney fandom today.

If there's one "BNF" (in quotation marks for reasons explained later) who's either shitted on or worshipped as a major deity in Disneyland fandom, it's Al Lutz. Lutz's sordid history with the fandom began on Usenet, which, as we all know, is home to wank of various sorts.

( Wankitude... )
