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.

?style=mine is your friend once again

[info]esclaramonde
As usual, when someone posts about Doctor Who in Wank Report, the mice come out in droves to wank about it.

Originally, larissa_j complained to a mod at Time and Chips (Doctor/Rose comm) that when she followed a link to a Doctor/Rose picture, she was forced to view a Doctor/Martha layout! Horrors!

Quotes given in W_R:
Other ships doth infect mine eyes! - The only D/R pairing is from The Unquiet Dead. Are you kidding me? D/R shippers get to follow this link for ONE image to get hit in the face with a shippy layout?

How offensive.


Mods should be policing the journal layouts of community members - This is being stern, direct and not taking bull and I have every right to this attitude after being exposed to that journal thanks to this comm. I hold the mods lax attitude responsible for this.

The mods should be as batshit as me! - Oh aren't you clever. I honestly don't care. It's your job as mods to field complaints. If you can't handle this, step down.

It's too bad the wank was screened - making this more surreal, because the Rosefen insisting that it didn't go down that way! don't have any more evidence than the OP - but the Rosefen decided to take pity and cause more wank! The first reply in the W_R thread doesn't get what's going on, and people try to correct her. Also, there may be more to what's going on than we know.

ETA: Fun quotes!

asshat, have you not noticed that the case is falling apart? No caps. No links. No proof of bashing. They got nothing.

Where? You can't make accusations and say I've seen it and not provide proof. It doesn't work that way.

Since when is what people think a topic for fandom wank?

They are an ass and appearances are secondary.

Where did I say say that? I didn't say it was made up I said it couldn't be verified with facts. There's a difference. It's a science thing.

Be nice if people knew the fucking wanker before making comments here.

This is what makes fandom wank? The words "exposed to" Are you kidding me?

I know they are desperate for material but this is just stupid. O RLY?

Bride of ETA: The Rosefen, not understanding how things work around here, post their OWN wank report.

Son of ETA: There is a word for Rosefen who also cannot realize that anon commenting is on ...

Doctor Who Fandom: Imploding, One French Chick At A Time

[info]livii
(Warning: most of this wank deals with a spoiler about Episode 4 of the second/twenty-eighth season. Consider this your spoiler warning).

So in the 2005 season of Doctor Who lots of people decided that Rose and the Doctor were in love 4eva (myself included). However, for some of these fans, the thought of anything coming between that OTP is a fate too horrible to describe. Cue spoilers and we get:

The main shipper community, saddened and horrified.

Clever jokes like "madame de poo poo".

"It's not that he didn't love previous companions, but I still think it was the kind of way that you love your cat. As opposed to seeing Rose as more of an equal."

"The problem I have with this is that he's the last of his species. If he gets romantic again, he's going to have to go for a different species, and you know, that's just wrong."

"This is what you get when you bring The Doctor's real gf on set."

The shippers then realize that, at some point, Rose will have to leave the series (Imagine! Companions leaving!) We get two threads on this with such stellar ideas as making Rose a Time Lady (so, in other words, Romana) or making her regenerate (or else "I would lose my interest in the show and my faith in the writers would be smashed.")

The winner is [info]nostalgia (who got all these links together and also made the icons) for her Wankpocalypse Bingo card: Wank, in handy illustrated form! )
