Harmonians: Still Oppressed, part CXIV in an ongoing series
Over in the comments of the latest lj_biz post, usofbs posts a comic comment (Note: comic is NSFW, as one of its panels has a banned Snarry pic) explaining how LJ could possibly have decided to delete a few more journals lately.

So why am I posting about this here? Because the comic blames it all on the Harmonians! OH NOEZ!

Cue Logansrogue losing her shit in futher comments:

Are you fucking stupid? The last thing you need to be doing right now is alienating *any* part of fandom, particularly H/Hr Shippers.

You do realise that we have far more members in harryhermione than is in honestlyronald?

My comm is affiliates with honestlyronald as well. A large number of our fans *liked* the seventh book and defended it.

So I really do think you owe H/Hr shippers an apology. I realise you're just making a joke but seriously - you lot have been making the SAME fucking joke for two years now. It's not funny anymore! I understand the 'Potterdammerung' wasn't quite as satisfying this time, without the huge numbers of us wailing and gnashing our teeth at the OBHWF ending, but trying to go from this problem and segue into it being the Crazy Harmoanians again is really fucking lame.

This Harmonian is on the side of the slashers. This Harmonian ENJOYS SLASH.

The only person wanking in this thread, dear girl, is you. Congratulations, here's your "Dumb-shit Shipper Dick" award.

And later:

See, that's exactly it. It's *not* a harmless joke. Harry/Hermione fans are consistently excluded from fandom *just* because they read a book differently.

I hate to tell you this but your comic isn't funny. It's just not funny.

You're right - I over-reacted. I apologise for that. But I don't think you realise how wearing it is, taking care of a community, having to go above and beyond what any other fan group has to to prove ourselves sane and normal fans. It's a consistent tightrope, do you realise that? It's been going on for two years now and I get a little sick of it.

And this comic? It's just making things worse! I'm just as upset as anyone else here about what LJ is doing. Why pick on the H/Hr fans? I don't think you realise this, but your 'harmless' comic is insinuating that fans like me, Harry/Hermione fans, think any other pairing other than H/Hr amounts to rape.

That - that isn't hilarious. And making out like we're all against the 'perverted' other fandoms? Not funny either. We're one of the crowd and we just wanted to be treated as such, okay?

So you can pretend that I'm being crazy if you like, but I think I have a legitimate point here, which I'd really like for you to consider. If you have nothing against the H/Hr fandom, then don't sell them out for a joke that you hope will get you some LOLs and pats on the back. It's just not cool.

Again - I'm sorry for swearing at you. It wasn't cool of me and I shouldn't have let myself fly off the handle like that cause clearly it solved nothing.

But please consider that I have something real to be upset about.

When told to chill, because it was just a joke, Logansrogue and other Harmonians chime in with: "But it wasn't funny! If it has been funny, I'd be laughing right along with you! Srsly!"

Right. Sure.
