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.

Grey's fans, start your wanking!

[info]baskinglizard
(moved over from [info]clairvoyantwank.)

So ABC has finally canned Isaiah Washington. (warning! spoilers in links about the season 3 finale.)

As I'm not a member of any Grey's comms I can't say how this is going over, but I did a bit of poking around and found some discussion over on [info]greysanatomy.

There's a little bit of wank about the lack of spoiler cuts, but most people seem to be taking it reasonably well so far, except one [info]pinklemonade417, who thinks that Isaiah learned his lesson and we don't know the whole story, one [info]xsarahdawnx, who is sick of hearing about the whole thing, and [info]gmurray122, who may need some lube before the day is out.

It seems to be getting wankier, and considering how wanky the original incidents were, I think there's some potential.

eta Oh man I almost missed this one: [info]cindeh brings the stupid.
Nooooo!
God this is SHIT!
As much as I love George.. T.R needs to fricken grow up. So what if he called him a faggot. I know gay people that prefer to be called faggots!
This show is gonna go downhill with Addy and now Burke gone.
Bah.
So. pissed. off.


eta again: [info]queencallipygos spotted [info]rfjason showing up and wanking.

Grey's Anatomy, English majors, and Hitler OH MY!

[info]plazmah
Down at the [info]greysanatomy comm, someone posts a "Behind The Scenes" interview with Katherine Heigl for her new movie Knocked Up. All is fine an well until [info]stefkttn states the following:

I don't really have an opinion about her, though I just have to say, as an English major, I hate it when people say "like" and "you know" as fillers in their sentences. Drives me crazy.

The wankiest of the replies to said comment have been deleted by the overzealous mod [info]jaimekeane, but fortunately I have someone on the inside who had all the comments sitting in her inbox. Hooray.

A transcript of comment thread.

As you can see, modly mod [info]jamiekeane decides to compare using the word "like" to Hitler. Things kinda go downhill from that point onwards. Grammar is attacked, the wahmbulance is invoked, and the VT shootings are brought up For The Lose. All round childish behaviour from the fandom that wanks with the best of them.

Grey's Anatomy fandom goes at it... again

[info]plazmah
Down in the Grey's Anatomy comm, [info]pradagirl decides to post this nuggest of wonderfulness.

I'm not trying to start a war amongst the fans but lets face it Izzie has been taking her digs at Callie every which way she can for quite awhile.
In previous episodes we've seen her constantly make fun of Callie. It's akin to watching one of those Teen movies (like Mean Girls for example).

What has Callie ever done to Izzie? Nothing really. All Izzie has ever done to her is be mean and incorrigible. And to top it off she's fornicated with Callie's husband. TROLLOPING TRAMP!


Oh yes, that will go over quite well with the other fen.

[info]thoushaltkissme: "Izzie and Callie are BOTH bitches!"
[info]ohlovelyy: "Way to not start a fight, no-fight. Also, Callie sux."
[info]matthewgoodband: "Callie is an abusive moron."
[info]55170054: "But Izzie is George's person!"
[info]anaaki: "Stop starting drama."
[info]shlupquack: "I h8 Callie."
[info]dicktracie: "Don't forget; Meredith is a tramp too."
[info]maniaclove: "Where's a mod when you need one?"

If this isn't wanky enough for ye, feel free to mock me.

Grey's Anatomy Fans are taking the place of the LOTR and HP ones in this episode me thinks.

[info]elgato_gamgins
I quote from a little mousie. I love you little mouse, so cute and...so much like a mouse.

"So Grey's Anatomy has been on the verge of implosion for the last week over promos showing BFF George and Izzie sharing longing, non-platonic looks.

example:
Link One
Link Two
Link Three
Link Four

BTW, it all comes to some sort of frenzy tonight with the airing of the episode. 9PM EST.

If you post this wank, you'll also be introducing the world to one of the worst shipper names I think I have ever seen: gizzie! (DO NOT WANT)"

Information on the links! )

EDIT!!! Thanks to [info]doomsday for pointing this out! People counted down the minutes until it came on. People went awwww...People went "OMGWTFBBQ!!!"...And some chick just HAD to point out a community, which probably made people vomit flaming cars on the freeway(another bad day in L.A.)...

And then there's the customary MOD'S BE NICE POST!

Grey's Anatomy+Racism+Homphobia = Wank

[info]oxydosic
Thanks to a mousie on [info]wank_report

Over on the ABC Grey's Anatomy message boards, luv2watch_gh posts with the subject 'WHY DO PEOPLE COMPARE HOMOSEXUALS WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS???'

You just know this is going to end well.

As you can see it makes me soooooo angry.

Homesexual and African American are NOT interchangeable.

As far as being discriminated--a homosexual person can leave their home everyday and HIDE their sexuality in order to avoid being discriminated against if they wanted to--a Black person can NEVER leave their home and HIDE their ethnicity in order to avoid being discriminated against!

People STOP comparing their struggles--its an INSULT to some African Americans--Who has ever been enslaved in the U.S. for being Homosexual???


MoreMcDreamyIsay is the first to reply:

Can we please not bring up the slave card? Obviously it was wrong that people were enslaved, and people should not be treated differently because of their race, sexuality, gender, religion, etc. But the slave comment just tends to get on my nerves. I wasn't/am not a slave owner and you are not a slave. How can people of today be blamed for the actions of those that we've never met? And how can people of today act like they were personally involved? Like I said, yes it was undoubtedly inhumane and wrong, but we shouldn't be forced to pay for someone's actions.


And by the way, I understand why you're saying not to compare racial prejudice with sexual prejudice. But I think the reason people are using that is because IW is very much into racial equality. So they are saying that he would be excessively offended (as well he should be) if someone was racist against him, so he should have thought twice before degrading someone based on their sexuality.


luv2watch_gh fires back:

1. Black Slavery took place for 500 YEARS, it its ramifications CANNOT be UNDONE in 50 years.

2. Mr. Washington can choose to perceive homosexuals whatever way he wants--that is his choice, just like it was ABC/Disney's choice to cast a homosexual to play a heterosexual--people are so hypocritical.

3. You said I was discriminating, but in the same breath you say IW should feel EXCESSIVELY offended because he is a Black man??? Your very statement is racist.


And it pretty much degrades from there. Attempts at rational discussion are made, the history of slavery is whipped out, and the bible is thumped. Only 6 pages, so dive on in.

Chokegate: it's not all black-and-white, except when it is

[info]791point43
If, like me, you were concerned that so far the coverage of the Grey's Anatomy choke!gate scandal has been lacking a certain batshit-insane quality, then here, for your delectation, is the discussion of the incident from the black entertainment blog ConcreteLoop.com:

"It’s easy to blame the black person when drama goes down, but now they are making him out to be some sort of crazy mad man? Please! I heard some rumors about Patrick Dempsey being nothing short of a damn drama queen, but you don’t see anyone writing anything about that."

And we're off:

"If he did choke Dempsey, I’m sure there was a good reason. Not to condone his behavior, but you don’t just go around choking muthafuckas for no reason."

"Society loves to castrate our Black Men, and tell them that they can’t express their emotions.
...
Men need to fight. It’s good for men to fight…Men are very physical, and once they get the rage & tension out their system, things can resume as normal…"

"The majority of Blogs appear to be written by Homosexuals or those sympathetic to the Homosexual community, so of course the BLOGS are going to jump on the bandwagon and publish this report every ten minutes."

"Yeah, Isaiah shouldn’t have used the F slur; if he did. And yeah, he shouldn’t have choked that motherfu**ka; if he did. But damn it! I’m gonna support this brother weather he did it or not!"


Regardless of which "side" you're on, anyone can use "you're making my side humanity look stupid" icons for this one.

He's Gay?! Wank - Take 2

[info]ladyrogue
So Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight has come out to the public, and unsurprisingly IMDB is off and wanking.

It starts off with an innocent enough question of if he's seeing anyone right now. The first few posts are the expected "he's gay?!" and "that just ruined my day". Other people question the OP and even say s/he is full of it. Proof is linked to, in which Knight says, yes he's gay. Choice quotes from the thread:

He's gay? Well, he's pretty good at playing straight ...

I don't think that he's gay - He was on Martha Stewart today and Martha asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said no because of his busy work schedule - so I would doubt if he's gay,but you never know.

HE IS NOT GAY! I HAVE KNOWN TR SCINCE HE WAS 1!!!! HE HAS HAD MANY GIRLFRIENDS!!!!!!!!! SO...GIRLS...IF YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM...ITS OK..HE IS 100% STRAIGHT!!!

aww i hope hes not gay..
i mean, im okay with homosexuals and all, but him being straigh def. makes daydreams more realistic ;)


Oh IMDB. You never disappoint.

Every Fandom has a Wank.

[info]jewlmc
Well, I don't think the Grey's Anatomy Fandom has been wanked yet, but after what happened last week it was bound to get really really wanky. Basically we have the dubious "heroine", Meredith sleeping with the designated(but IMO too good looking to really be the..)"dork", George after he told her he loved her. Fans of the main couple Meredith and Derek((annoyingling termed Mer/Der.) were in a state of rage. We'll forget that Derek is too balless to leave his cheating wife for "Mer". Anyways the wank of the (Grey's Anatomy)Century was bound to errupt.

And lo and behold, we have the writers blog

http://www.greyswriters.com/2006/02/from_krista_ver.html#comments

I don't know what is wankier, the writers feeling the need to explain themselves or the over the top responses. You'd think the characters got together to murder Derek(Patrick Dempsey).

I'm sure there has to be people here that would find this of some interest. Maybe even add some other Grey's wank? Because even though I like the show, the "Mer/Der"(seriously they call them that) fans are just wanktastic IMO.
