God I love some good old fashioned icon wank (thanks, mousie in wank_report). sparkled_pink posts a stupid batch of Smallville icons in an icon community two of which (1, 2**) have an extra special something attached to them.

definition of chlu chlux fans: chloefans/chlarkers that hate and bash other smallville characters/Actors publically.

NOT all chloefans and chlarkers are chlu chlux fans.

Yeah, I don't mean that KKK... well, I do. Sort of.

People call her out on her general stupidity, but she does have her supporters putting up a good fight*. I mean these icons are okay. People call Lois an alcoholic all the time.


*ALSO, YOU CAN DELETE, BUT YOU CANNOT HIDE.

YOU GUYS SO BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELVES. IF YOU DIDN'T HATE ON US, WE WOULDN'T BE FORCED TO COMPARE YOU TO THE KKK. JEEZ. STOP BEING SO STUPID. GET OVER IT. YOU'RE SO LIKE THE KKK.


I don't know why, but I'm lol'ing a lot. A LOT A LOT.

**She's removed the icons and edited the post, but here's a nifty little cap of the original like I said, you can delete, but you can never hide.


ETA2: FUCKING SHIT ON A BRICK, SHE LOCKED IT. FYT: A thread in here with some snippets of her comments.

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.

I'm really not sure where this started, but I'll keep you updated if I find the originating communities.

This wank apparently concerns which slurs are appropriate to use and which are not, and some vicious *education* of a segment of fandom on how calling persons of Asian heritage "squirrel" or any other form of rodentia is racist. I'm not commenting on whether it is or not, I've never heard it is, but that doesn't mean it's not.

Anyway, to the meat of the wank (posted in the order I traced them, because I'm not sure how exactly it happened):

The Beginning, as I found it - calling an actress of Asian heritage a rodent is bad.

mskatej perpetuates the wank on her journal - the wank gem:
Slurs - You can't be racist, but calling someone a cunt is okay because I *like* calling people cunts. Added bonus: all-caps post about not using proper punctuation.

A Lana Fan Community Posts - and is promptly invaded by haters

I'll keep you informed if I find more connected posts with wank.

This one . . . I've no idea, honestly, but it's nice to see Smallville working so hard to get back up there in the wank tournament. I thought HP was going to shut everyone else out at this rate . . .

Anyway, from what I gather, Michael Rosenbaum appeared at some charity event or hockey game or summat and some "fans" (term used loosely) presented him with a gift.

The gift contained money for the charity, a jersey, a shirt, and . . . "a superman tin that we've [rightfully] dubbed the 'smut box' (because it contained a pocket pussy, wet lube, a whip, Panty Dropper Massage Oil, Everyone Loves a Happy Penis -- Penis Massage Creme, Tit Tarts, Aphrodisiac Chocolates, Kama Sutra Cards, and a purple cockring)."

*allows several seconds for that to sink in*

Which leads to the wank, namely that those who are rightly shocked and disgusted by such a tasteless and trashy "gift" (can you tell which side I'm on?) are seen as prudes by those who'd just like to sweep it under the rug or those who think it was just innocent merriment.

Over on LJ, SV grande dames emrinalexander and trislindsay weigh in on the subject, respectively.

A sockpuppet by the name of rosenwanker shows up in both threads, along with various anons, and good times are had by all.

Small at this juncture, but will probably grow. I also gather from comments that there's wank over on TWOP, but I'm not entirely sure what or where that is, so I leave it to other wankas to search it out . . .

Edit: Thanks to serafina20, here's the link to the TWOP stuff (at the end of the page), and more wank can be found in perclexed's journal here.

Just a tiny wank to celebrate the premiere of SV s4. WARNING: Here there be spoilers! Or not. Whatever.

So, in the ongoing drama between 'those who must not be spoiled!!!' and those who say 'WTF' (sort of like the knights who say 'Ni!', but with more bloodshed)-

They're big, they're bad, and they've blindsided the cornfed fandom of Smallville! At first, no one was quite sure whether the uncut revelation of a promotional picture seen in newspapers and billboards across the country was an in-your-face attack on spoiler-phobes or a simple matter of not using the proper code to hide the seemingly innocuous picture of The WB's Pretty Couple.

The post that followed neither apologized for the spoilerage nor condoned it, instead insisting spoiler hos should be thanked for cutting when they do because it is a hardship of Herculean proportions to cut-tag a post properly. The confusion generated by this post has become of Herculean proportions itself, hos and phobes duking it out to define what a spoiler is, spell out the rules of spoilerage courtesy, and make veiled threats of (oh my!) a possible spoilerho cut tag coup.

All in all, a dissension in fandom Lex Luthor himself would be proud of.

People, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen. And yes, I'm counting the woman who went into labor becuase of a Clay Aiken wank, the people who got their nemeses fired over their Harry Potter porn, Victoria Bitter, and CrystalGamgee. This is a whole new level. Of what I don't know!

Some of y'all may remember some time ago there was a minor kerfuffle in the Smallville fandom about a fan who delusionally earnestly proposed to Tom Welling at a fan convention in late March 2004, which seemed to freak him out and send him scurrying out of the room. The SV fandom was pissed in general, because Tom W. never does fan conventions, and that one had been going very well until the weirdness from this girl. The people who were there, including Kryptonsite moderator Tigress35 said that this was not said in a flirty way, but in the same earnest wide-eyed way that the woman at a Trek convention asked Spock Leonard Nimoy what it was like to lose a son. So, yes, creepy.

This girl was, at the time, posting on Kryptonsite as TomWellingLuvsMe.

When banning the Lex Mafia from Kryptonsite yesterday, something caught my eye - some of their IP addresses were identical. One thing led to another, and after two days of comparing posting logs with LexsBitch67 (who talks about her discovery here, where we all kissed and made up), analyzing IP traceroutes, database logs, posting patterns, posting/arguing styles, and IP addresses from 4 different LJs as well as both Kryptonsite and the LexMafia message board, we've discovered that this person has at least fifteen, and possibly as many as 28 personalities (we discovered seven more today) in the Smallville fandom alone. She's also said she's involved the BtVS, Angel and Stargate SG-1 fandoms, y'all, so this is kind of a heads up.

( Have you seen this wanker? )

We've figured out that once she realized that Tom Welling does not, in fact, luv her, she became an insant vitriolic anti-Clark pro-Lex fan. All her personalities pre-May (when she was outed as the crazed fan) were pro-Clark. All her personalities post-May are Clark-hating Lex fans. Once the Ksite mods backed up criticism of this kind of treatment of the show's actors, and several mods snarked on her and the fandom declared her a pariah, she decided to wage war.

Specifically, this war.

Yep! That Lex Mafia wank? Is made up of at least 2/3 of her personalities. The other people just believed the varied and sundry personas' claims to persecution against Lex fans by the Ksite mods. This person's spent at least a year lying to people, and has spent the last few months deliberately trying to cause a fandom-wide rift.

It was one person doing her best to piss off UltimateMother, who must have seemed the easiest target at Ksite, not being a site admin and not having the power to ban anyone, and being nice and all. And doing it all under 20 different screennames. The vent UM posted came after months of consistent harassment from this person under at least a dozen different screennames because of her anti-Clark vitriol in the Clark forums. According to our log files, she created at least one new persona every other week between September 2003 and May 2004. She also wreaked major havoc in the Whitney forums. In one thread, one of her personalities (getawaysame) told us she hated the character because her brother had been killed by a hazing incident. She was then offered condolences by another of her personalities (colilan) and then a third personality (Lionel's Son) berated the other posters for not having reacted sensitively enough to the tragedy. Does anyone at this point even believe she has a brother? GAH!!!

No wonder we kept getting pissed off at these people. They were all the same people!

( The sordid details here. Because it's all about the sordid details. )

In other words, we all got played against each other. We at Kryptonsite are agog, but mostly we feel really bad for the LexMafia girls. They invested tons of energy into defending this person in her various guises on the boards, believing that they were truly being picked on. After all, if ten people have the same problem with the same person, you can't just write it off as a personality conflict. What's more, they thought these personas were their friends, in real crises, real depressions, and it was all just a big hoax to use them to start a fandom-wide flamewar. Their best intentions were used against them, and our desire to keep the boards safe from hackers was used against us.

It almost worked, too. It was only the off chance of banning IP addresses back when I thought it was a big group of women trying to sabotage the boards that I caught this, and mentioned it to Lexsbitch67, and it all just came togeher there.

Twenty identities, dozens of people hurt and harassed, and at least two message forums embroiled in a flame war...

And it's just because of one girl's bruised ego.

ETA: I've now been contacted by three different Buffy/Angel forums saying this all sounds painfully familiar, and they'd like to compare notes. *is frightened now*

I don't even know WHAT to think.

UPDATE: frelling_tralk shares the "Lex Mafia" side of the story and the extents to which SockQueen lied to them and used their good intentions in this post.

A while back, the Devoted Fans Network put a copy of the script for the Smallville episode Shattered (which is considered to be one of, if not THE best episode of the show). A bunch of fans pool their money to buy a copy. They are out-bit at the last moment, and decide to buy a copy of Perry instead.

For some reason, DTS sends out a copy of the deleted scenes from Shattered as well, making all those that received the script very happy. One of those people, Smallcondo, posts transcripts in her journal.

However, the owner of the script shows up, and she is pissed.

Still a pretty minor wank at the moment, but WindDancer's behavior is amusingly inexplicable.

Naturally the SV fandom cannot just have awards-giving dramas and flamewars like normal fandoms. That would be way too easy, and the flamewars would be tiresome and petty like with the CBFFAs and the wankery they inspired this year (again).

Not to be outdone, the Smallville folks have come up with a harebrained foolproof way to ensure that their fiction awards are not just fair and accurate, but productive! The Treasury's intentions certainly look noble on the surface, but look closer, and you'll immediately see the potential for mind-frying wank is impressive. Witness: It's been up for, like, a day, and so much silliness has ensued that I've decided to hand out my own SV_Wank awards:

Winning the Best Illustration of That Famed Smallvillian Logic category is Bexless, who is all "Haven't you people learned anything? Fanfic awards are seriously a veryveryveryveryvery bad idea and this is inevitably going to lead to doom and destruction, but I'll support this one anyway because I love everyone there."

Taking home the prestigious I Have No Idea What I Actually Think But I'm Going To Rant About It Anyway</b> award is Corinna_5, who agrees that, "boy, this is going to blow monkey chunks (but I hope I win anyway)."

Whisking away the coveted I Re-explain Myself For The 4813478th Time So That You, Too, Can Feel Free To Hideously Misquote and Subsequently Flame The Shit Out Of Me Anyway prize is Seperis, who explains once again why awards are good and necessary, especially, coincidentally, hers!

ScribblinLenore wins the Believe Me, In *This* Fandom, It's ALWAYS Necessary To Gratuitously Point Out The Obvious award with this entry.

Finally, in an easy victory in the Makes Too Much Sense to Be a Real Smallville Fan category is LaT, who, like the calm before the storm, accurately points out how pretzel-like and egregious the whole thing is.

It's like, nobody's angry and ripping anyone's heads off yet, but everybody uneasily seems to feel like they should be. So, technically, it's not a flamewar yet... it's just a gathering of kindling.

*BTW, all you SV fans out there, I will kill you all if you don't each leave Bible-length explanations for why my Pete humorfic RULES THE UNIVERSE. What? I'm just sayin'.

No I'm still not posting the Domlijah wankiness, this time because I left all the information (quotes, links etc.) on the other computer, in the other house. Half way across London.

Anyway, dude, there is nothing I can say which even gives justice to this so I think I'll just straight link:

She is our God. (Literally.)

Watch as Sarah T (harriet_spy on LJ) gets her widdle feelings hurt.

Continued Smallville debate on whether or not the fandom is MEAN. The devil is in the comments.

*pets the shiny new F_W*

I figured I'd take my turn in christening this place with some Smallville wank. So, altricial and eleveninches are starting up a Luthorcest archive (and there was much rejoicing! hurray!). In an act of common courtesy, they e-mailed Sarah T. about exchanging links with the Level Three archive. Sarah recognized eleveninches as a member of one of the incarnations of fandom_wank, and snarkily turned her down.
