Nothing Says "I Love Icons" Like a Good Flame War In The Morning

GJ's anti_theft community got hit with the wank big time yesterday.

Icon Wank - Chapter 1

It appears to begin when winnipegg expresses her outrage over being accused of icon theft.

~Highlights of Chapter 1~

An icon is not just an icon! It's art, damn you!

I've spent over $200 on graphic editing software just for making lj icons, therefore whether or not we break "copywrite" laws by stealing images from the original artists is not something to be considered!

Icon Wank - Chapter 2

A new thread of wank follows it. _christine proudly admits to being an icon thief and rubs it in the other members faces, leading to a grand total of 63 angry replies.

~Highlights of Chapter 2~

We're not the big babies. You're the big baby and you don't even know how to make icons!

Of course I don't know how to make icons. That's why I steal them dumbass.

Calling you a big baby didn't achieve the desired result the first time, so let me try it again with feeling: BIG BABY!

Icon Wank - Chapter 3

grassmonkey posts a third thread: "Since y'all feel so deeply for these icons, I'm just wondering if any of you have orgasmed while making them. Cause if you take pics of that and turn it into an icon, that would be worth stealing."

~Highlights of Chapter 3~

"Excuse us for wanting a little credit for things we make that take TIME and EFFORT. Holy mother of God! You mean icons take TIME and EFFORT?! Does that mean that people don't shit them out of their asses?! God forbid someone dare ask for credit!"

Back off beeeyatch. I have a bloody tampon and I'm not afraid to use it.

Icon Wank - Chapter 4

obislollipop posts a somewhat more levelheaded objection to the community's icon thievery witch hunts. At first, the replies are mostly intelligent, but then...

~Highlights of Chapter 4~

Hey! Don't forget about me! I'm the real reason for all of the icon wankery. Take a look at my LOTR icon, mommy! I drew it all by myself.

Uhm, no. This thread has nothing to do with you.

Does too!

Icon Wank - Chapter 5

yoursavior posts yet another thread similar to the one obislollipop posted.

~Highlights of Chapter 5~

Nobody paid much attention to me and my LOTR icon in Chapter 4, so here I am again in Chapter 5. I'm the reason for the wankage. Me! Me! Meeeeeeeeee!

Nobody cares about you and your stupid icon. Go away.

I thought this was a place where people would pay more attention to me, but clearly it doesn't work that way. This community is worthless! I'm leaving and I'm taking my LOTR icon with me.

EDIT: The original anti_theft has been deleted, and is now located at antitheft. Okay.

NOTE TO SELF: Take screen caps next time.
