Wikkid frickin' wanks: "Hate crime" wank in b0st0n
Yay! My first wank! ~~Do me, baby.~~

b0st0n is where I go to catch up on what's happening in my college town, now that I'm far away. This week, however, what seems to be going on is a snowstorm of wank.

It begins with an announcement from pureacrylic on a recent horrific attack against a lesbian. Fairly standard call for everyone to look out for each other and find resources for help, until other posters</i> question the story's validity. ashley331 posts a link</i> to an unfamiliar (to me, at least) news source. In that same thread, garubark announces that said link is not reputable, and is just a haven for "just a nonsensical diatribe by some maoist that should probably be in an institution." Garubark and pureacrylic start to snarl at each other. Meanwhile, community decides that it's a hoax and moves on.

Shortly afterwards, garubark posts a charming parody substituting "queers" with "nigguhs". b0st0n scratches its head, but eventually sporfles.

pureacrylic posts a defense of the first post. Language choices are finally questioned.

Obligatory "good bye, cruel community" post from pureacrylic.

And ashley331 gets the last word here when she informs the community that her women's studies class received an email describing the incident too. The validity of women's studies as a field of study is questioned.

Governmental coverup? Shoddy news reporting? Maoist conspiracy? Just tl;dr? You decide, otf_wank.

That site allows any cook who wants to post whatever half baked cook ideas they have for propaganda.

It took me a minute to realize

garubark was trying to say "kook."

Also, not that it matters, but a maoist, generally speaking, probably wouldn't post a link to a story on queer-bashing, because maoists tend to be anti-homosexual -- it's seen as a sign of the decay of capitalism. (UGH!) I had run-ins with more than a few Maoists back in my political days. If you're gonna go bashing leftists, at least get your terminology straight.

Quel wankeur.

	Agh! You ruint it for me - I was working out what half baked cook ideas were out there. Adding salt to spagetti water increases world peace? Chianti goes perfectly with fish? Roasted garlic mashed potatoes are a good idea in an alternate dimension, so they'll work here? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No no, half-baked, remember? Uncooked bread dough lowers aggression in adult human males. That's why Dr. Atkins was such a pushy bastard. Duh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No no no all leftists are communist hippies, just like all rightists are cigar-chomping capitalism worshippers. Oh, er, I mean 'word' from the center-leftie/liberal (and don't Leninist/Maoist movements see homosexuality as a symptom of capitalist decay? What about the Trotskyites?)

	Well, I was a Trotskyist, and the party I was in was totally pro-gay. And I'm not sure about the other question you're asking me because it seems to reiterate what I just said... ;) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somewhat reiterating. It's been a while since I saw the different stratae of Communist movements, but yeah, they seem to mostly have anti-gay ideas. I, however, wasn't sure if I was right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	'different stratae of Communist movements' Show me for trying to be smart. I assumed 'strata' was a singular and tried to be clever and use the plural ending. However, 'strata' is a plural (of stratum), so it should be 'different strata of Communist movements.' Gah. (Reply to this)(Parent)
