Spotlighted Wank
Has anyone else noticed how quickly the "LJ Spotlighted Communities" become hotbeds of wank?

Let's see... Over in [info]autumn_and_fall, [info]asweettragedy decides to post up a pretty picture of some pumpkins, along with some glurge about how God made us all like jack-o-lanterns or something. I'm not entirely certain I understand it, but [info]shatterstripes sums it up as :

So being a Christian is like being an empty shell with a forced grin and no potential to grow anything new, who's left out to rot over the weeks after it's useful, and then thrown in the compost (if you're lucky; the trash is more likely) with cries of 'eeew'?

Sounds great! Sign me up!


I'd love to link you to [info]shatterstripes' actual comment, but it's now listed as "deleted comment". I happen to have it open in another window, should anyone want screencaps.

This, of course, leads to screaming of how "uncool" the OP is because she's deleting comments.

Or is she?

To echo [info]krushisabitch: Who would have thought there would be drama here?

Meanwhile, over on the other side of OMG serious business... We've got [info]historyisfun, this week's featured wankmagnet community, where [info]pirated_pie wants to know if we think our interest in history is because of our past lives. (Can I claim to have been Joan of Arc in a former life?)

[info]feste_sylvan thinks this is dumb. This annoys [info]pirated_pie to the point where s/h/it loses the ability to use the "s" key and informes [info]feste_sylvan he's an "a**hole".

Which, as all things do, leads to Communism Wank.

Pfft, autumn wank is so six months ago.

I like the idea that if you don't actually write the words asshole and fuck but instead type a**hole and STFU that you are still remaining calm, reasonable and polite. Yeah right, freak!

I'm surprised that it took so long for anything to happen with that first post.

Yet, the only thought I had when I saw it was "Excuse me, but I am no pumpkin".

Not surprised the stupid pumpkin thing brought wank-- I've seen a Paganized version of it and watched the same wank. (Hell, I was *in* that wank, because I had the same reaction as [info]shatterstripes when I saw it.)

As for [info]feste_sylvan... I'm getting more than a little tired of Atheist Pagans and this whole "if you can't empirically prove it, it doesn't exist" line with religious beliefs.

I took one look at the [info]historyisfun community and saw that it's right now filled with "omigod this community is so KEWL" posts; I was going to wait until the signal-to-noise ratio readjusted.

I now see that it may not readjust, but may scale back into a far more interesting wank hotbed than I thought it would be.

If one uses a stupid analogy, one ought not to be surprised when it comes back and bites one in the ass.

Because, c'mon, "Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin" will never stop being funny.
