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.
