As an anonmousey was so kind to write up a complete report at
wank_report, I figured I should share this little wank with the rest of
fandom_wank. The only thing I have added is fixing the html for the links and anything
in bold text past this paragraph.
Gundam 00 is the latest in the Gundam anime franchise. It's tauted as the Post 9/11 Gundam for being realistic about war and being broadcast in Hi Def. Despite ample opportunity for wank-fests in this series so far the Gundam community has been generally civil. Or at least, I thought it was, but apparently our main wank generator here is a repeat offender (at least in the land of stupid_free.)
Yesterday...
News broke out that Bandai will be distributing Gundam 00 in North America.
LJ comm gundam00 breaks the news to its membersAnd seemingly, things are fine. Not too much ruckus.
Except moderator and owner of the comm, bucue, is already sewing the seeds of ire taking any opportunity he can to mention how much he truly hates dubs. Dubs suck, therefore he will not be investing any money in DVDs for the sub, because that only rewards lousy dubs.
Things don't get interesting until bucue makes a follow up post to the comm stating, once again, how dubs suck and that drama regarding the sub v dub debate will most likely ensue...with some...added incendiary comments. This post is locked.
But the epic fallout, for some reason, is not. (I think you can glean all that you miss from later comments.)
First, witness "rival" lj comm, gundam_00 calling bucue out As you can gather from that post, bucue accused the gundam_00 mods of spamming his gundam00 comm. And as we find out later, apparently the spam in question may have been yaoi fic related.
Then bucue posts again, in very tl;dr fashion, trying to sort everything out Like mousey says it's quite tl;dr as bucue gives us all s/h/it's thoughts on yaoifandom. But it does have a nice LOL worthy bit where s/he mentions they had mistaken a friending meme as wank and thus deleted it.I don't know that there are many lols to be had in his actual post, but the comments once again point to the epic wankery that went down in the span of one night.
Which apparently included things such as deleting posts that weren't really violating the policy, "you guys misunderstand my humor!", banning people...including, from the first comment thread, one of the other moderators...
Oh and look! Godwin's! Oh yes, a lot of tl;dr here - but the scope that can occur in one night is amazing. It's also amusing to note that the forecast of wank came about with the announcement of licensing, heralding sure fire Dub vs Sub wank...and yet none of the massive wank that occurred from this mod really had anything to do with dub vs sub opinions so much...
ETA: Thanks to
sticks I have been pointed to the
clairvoyantwank report of this wank which fills in the holes and brings more wank to the yard than the
wank_report version of it.
clairvoyantwank version written up by
hermisia( Cut for length. )ETA 2: Bucue is his ever tactful way has deleted entries and threatened to ban anyone who continues to complain about how he's been running the comm, as can be read in these
saved screen shots of the wank, thanks to
yosei.
ETA 3: Bucue has been ousted from his comm and has taken up the age old art of trolling under the name of
tieriaisafag on various LJ journals using current gundam00 maintainer
cerulean88's default icon. As can be seen
here and
here.
ETA 4:
kaiser_chan has given an update including the post he made on the /m/ board at 4chan. 4chan thread is deleted now but deconcentrateat LJ made a
cap of the thread.Also links for screen caps of deleted wank from Bucue before he got booted has been provided by
kaiser_chan:
