2:17p - Feminist wank
 jess_k posts to  feminist encouraging the community to donate to John Kerry's campaign.
aweasel takes offense, because she plans to vote for Bush.
What results is 124 comments of wank, including Democrats = teh eval communists omg!, abortion debate, ageism (particularly amusing when you consider that aweasel is supposedly only 24 herself), and more.
Also, as a bonus mini-wank, damn those self-centered Americans!
edit: added the correct link to the entry, sorry.

3:53p - Bwee! Con-wank!
Ah, anime conventions. They're such wonderful, smelly places full of opportunities to spend your hard-earned money on Japanese goodies. While these all may be fun and smiles on the outside...they really get interesting once you get on the inside.
Take this little juicy tidbit, for example. This is but a sample of what usually goes on behind those folding con walls.
LadyRaven is the con chair for Kamikaze Con here in Houston. Its first con will be held in March next year.
LadyRaven feels like it would be a good idea to advertise her con on the cosplay.com message boards. Fair enough. She had a cosplay event to talk about. So she posts this message, with the subject line "Kamikaze Con, Houston's Largest Anime Convention".
This, of course, upsets delegates from at least one other about-to-happen con in the area, namely Cherry from Oni-Con. This con will have its first in late October.
( And it all goes downhill from there. )
It's worth noting that not once did any O-Chibicon (the other Houston con having its first con next weekend) head-people show up in this. It's probably for the best, they need to be working on their con more than squibbling with people about semantics on a cosplay forum.
Finally, after much tribulation, the admin cometh with the smackdown. Verily.
current mood: *sporfle!* (30 comments |comment on this)
