The CBC reports a story about a 66-year-old missionary, Eloise Bergen, and her husband who was assaulted in Kenya earlier this year, and recently testified against her assaulters. People feel the need to state their opinions in the comments: ( Read more... )

This story has been widely reported by Canadian media, so there are even more choice comments, including an opinion piece and replies on the Globe and Mail site. There are also articles from when the assault occurred, including a longer comment thread at the original CBC article.

ETA: Sorry, was a mispost (the comments I originally found were wanky rather than plain depressing, and I forgot to change the field). The recipes sound delicious, though.

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

A secret about prop 8 is posted to this post in Fandom secrets. And we get twofold wank for it, too!

Wank #1: FOMG HOW IS THIS NOT A 'NOT-SECRET' THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FANDOM WHATSOEVER! This one is small, though, because the modly type froze the comments.

Wank #2: Gay is wrong. No u! No u! NO U! NO U! And that's all within the first three pages.

Also, liking het means you hate gay marriage. Srsly. And there's macros. And people loling over all the wank this caused. And there's also a thread of d'awwww.

I chose to post it here instead of fandom wank because almost all of the arguments were not fandom related. And there was even an argument about that, too!

Record-smashing Olympic swimmer and half-naked hottie Michael Phelps has a Facebook page, where his fans can post comments about their sincere appreciation for his athletic achievements. That's clearly what one FB user had in mind when he created the discussion "How many guys wanna #*%^ Michael?" Some of Michael's sweet and innocent fans don't appreciate this depraved line of conversation. Others tell them to lighten up. Censorship is invoked, religions are bashed, butts are hurt, homophobia is paraded about, Godwins gets a nod, and I'm just waiting for the swimslash to show up. Or Michael. Michael should definitely show up.

Poor cf_ioan is having a bad day. Over at the Childfreez, she posts about how an "idiot moo cunt" she is acquainted with "fortunately...miscarried". She does not receive acclaim for this viewpoint.

( Plenty of stereotypes and hate for everyone )
