Cherik disability wank
TW: ableism and related fail. Edit: And slurs being flung around.

This has been posted for a friend of a friend who wishes to remain anonymous. Leandralocke is a mod of ONTD_pinto and has been banning people from her journal (status of banning people from the comm unknown), so I offered to post it for her. As of when I found out about this, everything was unlocked. To the wank!

this got long, but it's got links to all the posts I could find.

It starts with a Cherik fic in which Charles' paralysis is psychosomatic and curable by Erik's magic cock. She doesn't mean to be ableist, she just "prefers Charles to be whole, mentally and physically," but it doesn't matter because "it's just fiction." She goes on to say she has "what can be considered a disability" (later revealed to be lactose intolerance and bacne), and she would love it to be cured -- wouldn't all people with disabilities rather be "fixed?" And if it's ableist to magically cure paralysis, then wouldn't we have to ban doctor's shows?!

After a few comments pointing out the problematic elements of the story and her responses, she starts banning people from commenting and responds with a post (duplicated here) about how it's all personal preference, and pointing out ableist storywriting is "flaming." After getting a few more comments on the matter, she sets the post to private, but continues missing the point on her Tumblr, even going so far as to wish her "flamers" to have their periods in a shark tank.

All the while, she's screaming at Twitter:
FUCK YOU ALL! link
I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH ALL THOSE FUCKING OVER-SENSITIVE PEOPLE! LIFE IS TOUGH BOO-WHOO! FUCK YOU ALL link
Everyone that calls me anything -ist from this day forth will be immediately deleted and banned and blocked. Just GTFO you whiny bitches. link
AND IF ANYONE EVEN SO MUCH AS UTTERS THE WORD PRIVILEGE DITTO! STOP THROWING THAT AT PEOPLE WITHOUT KNOWING THEM!!!!!!!!! link
@geekbydefault Stuff happening on LJ. Apparently I'm "ableist" what the ever loving fuck that even is (lovely how new words are being - link
@geekbydefault constructed by those whiny, annoying PC freaks all the time) just because I'm healing paralysis in a fic. Uh right. link
That's why I love Aussies, they don't know what PC is. Fuck you all you awesome Aussie cunts! :D link
To all a-holes in the world: Ho, ho, fucking ho. I hope a reindeer shits on your head tonight! link

She posts the third part of her story with a disclaimer about "constructive criticism" and "guilt-tripping" her. This is HER STORY, she can do what she wants!

The fourth part brings the best drama to the yard. She starts by telling everyone how adorable and silly they are, but once people address her missing the point, she devolves into obvious sarcasm apologizing for their reading disability and giving fake apologies for the bullshit she said before.

One of her friends chimes in anonymously by saying she has "artistic privilege" and therefore deserves a free pass because hey, it's just fiction! A (former?) friend comments anonymously, revealing that this is a habit of [info]leandralocke's, and telling her she is "behaving like a child." [info]leandralocke presumably finds the commenter's identity, calls hir a hypocrite for past drama, and begins calling everyone in the threads a hypocrite for... something.

Someone calls her story anti-Semitic, and she replies with "It's because I'm German, right?" which she seems to think is a pun. Her beta jumps in and says that using a Natalie Portman icon doesn't make you Jewish, and since she's Jewish and not offended, no one can be offended.

She, of course, takes the moral high road and continues screaming about them on Twitter:
Here come the a-hole cunts again. If stupidity hurt they'd scream in pain all day. link
And the wank goes on and on and on. Like a Celine Dion song. link
lol now I'm just trolling back. Someone said "All the awards" to one stupid comment. I posted a pic of the golden Razzie ^^ link
"This is racist/ableist/anti-semitic/whatever-ist" is NOT a valid point as long as you have NOTHING to back your allegations up. link
Ok, several people come to my LJ to harass me and *I'M* a troll?? That's cute. link
Cunts cunts cunts, cocksucking cunts. Oh, and this is MY Twitter. I DO WHAT I WANT! link
Because I'm not a fucking TROLL like you cunts. CUUUUUNTS! Yes. I kinda like the word. I vent and rant if I fucking want to! link

She starts deleting comments, banning anyone who disagrees with her, and disables anonymous comments so that the post doesn't garner any more discussion. Then she follows it up with a final Tumblr post ordering her dissenters to "ACT LIKE A GROWN UP YOU BITCHES" or otherwise "SUCK MY IMAGINARY COCK! Until you choke on it and DIE!"

What is logic, indeed, [info]leandralocke

All your URLS are showing, it might make it easier to follow if they were linked to words.

Also? If you feel the need to post a trigger warning, you should probably cut the rest of the post so that people won't be triggered.

Thanks to your comment I'm imagining "...Cherik?" being said in incredulous tones by Erik himself. This has cheered me up a great deal from all the unfunny. So thank you.

(In my head, it's Ian McKellen!Erik, and Patrick Stewart!Charles is tactfully not-dying-laughing in the background, but YMMV.)

You're only a proper person if you have all your bits there and in working order.

That is why when I get behind on cutting my nails I come a little closer to Godhood.

Yes, I am horribly disgusted by people in wheelchairs. Of course, I said that. And I meant to imply just that. Of course. Wheels are just icky. I'm also terribly scared of cars.

Uuuuugh.

I have a disability, and it might be curable with surgery, and I hope it is because I'm tired of being in pain and unable to do lots of stuff. But, uh. Anyone who thinks I, or any other disabled person, is not "whole" because of a disability, let alone less worthy of love (!!!!) needs to sit on a Lego.

Also, the fact that "cunt" seems to be fast replacing every other slur on the internet (from "dick" to "asshole", though "bitch" is of course hanging on) has me just overjoyed let me tell you. Can't insult someone properly these days without misogyny, I guess.

It never ceases to amaze me that a word that's been in the OED since before a person was born is considered a made-up word that never existed before this week.

I would ask "If she wants Charles up and walking around, why not just AU the beach showdown?" but judging from this, I'm not sure if [info]leandralocke is capable of grasping the concept of "two characters settling their philosophical differences in a mature and civil manner." But her attitude would be offensive whatever she happened to be writing.

I know that the moral outlook of the source material has precious little to do with the behavior of the fanbase, and X-Men: First Class had problematic aspects, but still - it's rather distressing to see someone so vehemently anti-"political correctness" writing fanfiction for a story that's supposed to be about prejudice.*


*Well, prejudice, superhero battles, fanservice, homoerotic subtext, and Erik's epic manpain.

It's probably very petty of me to hope that she's one of the Pinto tinhats who were positively homophobic and dickish about Zachary Quinto getting an actual boyfriend who wasn't Chris Pine, but I don't care. I hope she was.

God what a horrid bitch. This part of fandom nauseates me.

leandralocke presumably finds the commenter's identity, calls hir a hypocrite for past drama

Um... is it really okay to refer to the anonymous commenter as "hir"? I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just wondering because I've seen/heard people get really up in arms over the use of that word. Wouldn't it be better to say "him or her" instead of "hir"?

As for the content of the report.... someone needs to tell this leandralocke that she's entitled to write whatever she wants for her own story, but if she's going to post it up where others can read, she has to deal with the fact that her readers are equally entitled to post their opinions of her writing and her as a writer and fan. Yes it's your story alone when you are the only one reading it. When others can access and read it and be offended by what you've written, you don't get to play the "I'm the creator so shut up and like it already" card anymore.

Some of the stuff I write for self-gratification will NEVER EVER see the light of day if I have any say in the matter, because it was written for my eyes alone.

I guess it's just as well she doesn't want to be called any 'ists' because I certainly wouldn't call her a feminist.
