Infighting, the best spectator sport
Bear with me, because this one's been fermenting for a while. Note: no links are guaranteed SFW, given the nature of the community.

Way back in September, user [info]morilkasstory was posting (really, really bad, imo) poetry to the lj BDSM community [info]male_dom, and users were complaining. In October, there was a major wank, and the situation threatened to descend into all out war between [info]male_dom and [info]dot_bdsm_snark. There was a very funny post by [info]drcruel and that seemed to be the end of things. (Full disclaimer, I participated in this a little.)

Things were quiet until this month (although there was more poetry), when [info]sheobeys entered the scene. Her first post comes the same day as [info]morilkasstory's last one. This post ignites a different war, one that [info]sheobeys has continued to ignite on several occasions. Her second post is particularly important, because that's where the first accusation of plagiarism happens. There's also at least one deleted post in this time (no caps, sadly

After some doings in locked posts, the community gets this little gem. In the comments, [info]hitonihi links to all sheobeys' articles found on a Gorean website. Community reaction is basically "lol, wtf?"

Then, there was another deleted post, directing people to pictures...promptly followed by a similarly incomprehensible post by [info]dadawg105. There is some confusion in the comments, but people assume he is [info]sheobeys' master.

Then, [info]maidenofmidian drops the bombshell you all probably knew was coming: she thinks sheobeys and morilkasstory are the same person. They both plagiarized from the same Gorean website, and they share the same habit of never responding to comments. The community explodes into a flurry of does it matter? and you're a bitch, so why should we believe you?. Of particular note is the mod's response to the plagiarism. No one is suggesting yet that [info]dadawg105 is also a sock, but it seems only a matter of time. Regardless, the community seems to have been the recipient of well-planned and concentrated trolling for a number of months.

Wow. Reading about how women are rightfully the property of men and should get their asses back into the kitchen just never gets old funny.

However, I think it says quite a bit about me and my issues that I read [info]sheobeys' name as sheboy.

It took until you said that for me to realise that wasn't actually her name...

I'm pretty sure he's another sock, and that all three are carefully designed to push the snark community's various buttons.

I've been through the links twice. I'm not seeing wank. I'm seeing a respectful community responding calmly to troll(s) who don't talk back.

Recipes involving chocolate, plz?

I don't know, I would think anything involving trolling, plagiarism, and sockpuppetry would count as wank regardless...

It's not a recipe per se, but have you ever tried making an orange soda float with chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla? I ended up with one once when the ice cream stand was out of vanilla, and it ended up being delicious.

(Actually...I have chocolate ice cream and orange soda. I should go make one.)

The only thing I've got is with the nature of LJ, how the hell was the name [info]sheobeys available? I would have thought it would have been snatched up years ago.

Man, no matter how cool they may be IRL (and I've met some very cool ones) male doms always seem to come off as creepy assholes on the internet. Why is this?

[info]paladin

Probably because you only know they're male doms when they're in a comm talking about their...uh...male-domness. It's also probably encouraged to some degree by the nature of the comm and the John Gabriel Internet Fuckwad Theory.

I would guess it's because you can't pick up the visual cues you can IRL. Also, given the state of the local BDSM mailing list I'm on, the cool Dominants (of both sexes) don't spend all their time on the internet, because they are actually playing with their submissives.

Today's exchange:

Me: Ann, there's a gorean on OTF.
Ann: Kill it! Kill it with a newspaper!




Later: I actually read the links.

The Gor community worries me. I've personally never met the truly batshit ones, but I keep hearing about them. They leave me alone, I leave them alone.

That being said, if this chick is for real, I really hope she stays on her side of the web, 'cause, da-yum.

Every time I see something about Goreans, I remember my friend who hangs out on Second Life complaining about the "fucking bondage Vikings" that infested that community.

Like, weeks later I figured out he was talking about Goreans. And I LOL'd.
