Taken from a mouse on
wank_report (come forward, oh mouse, and give yourself a name!).
batgirl20 makes a post about her landlord. In it, she describes her frustration with him—not informing her when work is going to be done on the house, despite it being outlined in her lease, and the like.
lovecrafty takes issue with this, and
trolls her journal, but
not before posting on
anti_feminism! The first half of the post is standard, mocking a weird post to
feminist_rage. The second half of the post? You guessed it—dedicated to calling out
batgirl20 for being racist/classist.
From
the first comment, the wank begins.
david_deacon:
Your second point, about
batgirl20, is, of course, your usual fingerpointing, judgmental hysteria about people being classist and racist everywhere. No, Ken, the world is sadly not as full of closet racists for you to pick on as you obviously think it is. It was clear from
batgirl20's original post that there was no racism or classism going on, only some legitimate fear about female tenants having their privacy invaded by workmen. Her original post contained nothing remotely classist or racist. (Other readers of this post can easily read that for themselves: no mention of race a'tall. Sorry)
Unless, of course, you typed that tongue-in-cheek and were just kidding. . . .Reply from
lovecrafty:
Your opinion on racism is not valid in my eyes David, because you yourself are a racist and refuse to acknowledge it. So really, all your comment serves is to once agin show your complete defensiveness at the very idea that somewhere someone (who isn't a minority) might be racist. And why are you so defensive? Because you are a racist.(Goodness,
lovecrafty, what did basic syntax ever do to you?)
It only gets better as the comments progress, most notably with
bull stepping in to argue that
batgirl20's landlord is
entirely within his right to enter her apartment without notice, despite what the lease says. Discussion is mostly-civil, with
lovecrafty stepping into wank downthread, till
peachthief shows up to voice her two cents.
Finally, we have the crowning moment of wank:
misplacedmind calls
lovecrafty out for
'being a serious asshole' in
batgirl20's journal. This, however, isn't what brings the wank. Instead, there's sidewank as
hexennatch enters the thread, and is immediately accused of stalking
lovecrafty. Apparently, all
lovecrafty knows how to say is "die painfully."
In the meantime,
batgirl20 posts an apology to
feminist_rage, for possibly coming across as being classist/racist (despite the fact that her original post mentions nothing of race).
A quick summary?
lovecrafty is insane, the rest is TL;DR.
Whew. Please inform me if this is too long, and I'll place it behind a cut.
