4:28p - You can never get too much breastfeeding wank, can you?
Over on LJ comm "pregnant", a mother-to-be takes exception to The Breastfeeding Campaign.

The comm does not take it well.

I'm in there a couple times at the beginning, but my comments didn't contribute to the wank, so I'm putting it here. I'd include spoogy excerpts, but the damn thing grew from ten comments to 100-plus in five minutes flat and quite honestly, I'm afraid to look.

ETA: The OP's ([info]asuos</lj>) post was apparently prompted by the response to an earlier post of hers, wherein she asked advice on baby products, including bottles. I can't find that post, but if anyone else tracks it down, I'll link it.

Meanwhile, the wank has spread: both to asuos's LJ, where she cross-posted, [son-of-ETA -- baleeted! and the OP has apparently been banned from the comm] and to this later post by [info]prime_radiant</lj>. The latter is friends-locked, but the community is open membership.

Cousin-of-ETA: Bahleeted! And just when it had occurred to me to go make copies, too. I am a dingbat. Happily, iwanttobeasleep saved the first page down in the comments. Also, hobbit-kicking mouse found the earlier post by the OP, which is here.

5:56p - Gay is NOT like Being Left Handed!!!
[info]subordinate posts a treatsie on how homosexuality is purely psychological based on years and years of research at [info]anti_femninist.

Full post in case of Bahleetion )

Of course people aren't happy. )

Ah the nuances of pseudo-science.

7:39p - A picture's worth a thousand opinions!
In the community [info]foundphotos, [info]iamcam_camiam posts a picture of an impoverished family outside of their home in Haiti.

The first couple of comments call the picture 'beautiful', and that's what sets off [info]misslaura: "Beautiful? Poverty has aesthetic value?"

There are then several arguments in the thread over if it's right or wrong to refer to the picture as 'beautiful'.

[info]ohhbackseatlove tries to get the community to 'cut him some slack', which of course only results in more arguments.

Wow. Who would have guessed a photograph someone accidentally dropped at Target would ignite such a fury?

9:49p
Over on [info]mock_the_stupid, [info]gemsy_iii makes a post about her stupid housemate in which she refers to someone as a "coloured man."

Predictably, people take exception.

Small for now, but sure to continue.

10:52p - Prego_Drama lives up to it's name!
Apparently, pregnant teens are the internet's new punching bag! But then, you just KNOW a comm named "prego_drama" has to bring in the wank in at least a weekly basis! Wank erupts on both sides here, and leaves no one looking any better for it.

Pregnant Drama Ahoy!

Oops, it looks as thought someone at the comm "accidentally" deleted the entry above after it was featured on Otf_wank. Luckily, nothing is ever REALLY lost on teh internetz, and below is a link where you can download the initial post and some of the mindboggling resulting comments.

Pregnant Drama Ahoy! Part Duex

And a small bonus-- drama starts again on the same subject in another thread. Part 3 of a never-ending Wankthology. Because people who believe in forced sterilization always make the best parents.
