Being offended about being offended. Loudly.
[info]fuckyeah makes a run of the mill post in fanficrants about the use of racist phonetic accents in a kink meme fic. Everyone nods and tsks appropriately...except for [info]bgaleb, for whom this is just the last straw. A stand must be taken. And that stand must be coated in more exclamation points than a porcupine's got needles.



I am outraged

I thought all day about all of this and decided to write an open letter to all the pests.

I am sick and tired of all the uneducated fuckheads who took it upon themselves to be offended on behalf of all humanity over a phonetic accent of all things. In that case you have to be offended by half of all classic European literature, you clot-poles!! I am sick and tired of always being politically correct, always being the "smart"one, always being polite and such. But in this case I just fucking can't be all of that!! If you're going to come here and criticize people anonymously, then you can just fuck off.

You choose to be offended by a fucking kink meme for crying out loud!! I don't care about your feelings! I am here to read fan-fiction for god's sake! And it doesn't matter how many people try to reassure the author, or your blubbering justifications, the damage is already done! Because of people like you we can't have nice things. No one wants to hear how offended you are on a kink meme. I am so outraged, I am almost speechless! This is my opinion, if you feel offended by it I do not care whatsoever, you stupid, narrow-minded self righteous fools!

Oh, by the way, if all of you critics are so sophisticated, why don't you go read James Joyce or Leo Tolstoy, not filthy porn on a kink meme then? If you're on a kink meme , you don't have the right to be offended. Hypocrites.

I wish I knew who Author!Anon is so I could console them with hugs and chocolate!


People attempt to explain why kink-acceptance does not mean racism-acceptance, but they are not having with it. The honor of the kink meme must be protected from people wishing to not be confronted by racial caricatures.


I am not here to discuss the law, but a kink meme IS a SPECIAL place indeed! Its is deliciously filthy and kinky and deviant and full of prohibited fantasies and explicit descriptions! If people willingly go there they should be prepared for anything, that's my point. Did you ever read about all the kinks in your daily newspaper? No? I thought not. But if you ever do, THEN you could be offended, because some of the stuff IS PROHIBITED BY LAW in some countries or states.

But we could write and read about it on the kink meme freely. I don't see you complaining about rape or underage fucking or drinking; don't you feel offended by it? So go educate yourself for crying out loud!




[info]bgaleb even posts the offending chunk of the fic so we can all see how unracist it is. It, um...it does not work as they planned. Undaunted, [info]bgaleb continues to yell about how little they care, and flounces eight or nine times in succession until finally the banhammer a voluntary unfriending of the community ends their piteous existence. And nothing of value was lost.

For bonus content and even more exclamation point overload, they go to wail in their journal about it. Something there got deleted, but I have caps should they decide to end the rest.

Are we supposed to be offended because any non-penis-in-vagina sex is technically illegal in so many places? And, for instance, that sex toys are illegal in Alabama? Because I am. Or are we supposed to be offended by what's illegal, period, no matter how antiquated and anti-human the law is?

Also, putting rape, teenagers having sex with each other, and teenagers drinking alcohol on the same offense-level: what the hell.

"Boys will be boys" seems to cover all three offenses in my neck of the woods. People are awful and I hate everything. D-:

Oh it's even "better" than that. Later, they say:

If you are not offended by rape, insect, watersports and such how can you be offended by an Author describing an accent?!

I did laugh at the "insect" part. But how in fuck are rape and incest in the same category as watersports?!

Well, 'things I don't want to see', but that also includes bobbit worms and I doubt it is an international standard.

But otherwise...

one of these things is not like the other ♪ one of these things just doesn't belong

Well, I'm offended by roaches, which are insects. Do I get a pass?

Oh, I know. Once upon a time, I had an icon with an extreme closeup of a cockroach's face that I'd use whenever bugs were mentioned. Now I wish I hadn't deleted it. Here, have a cute kitten instead! :)

That sounds like just about the best thing ever. Now I have to find a copy. :)

Also, in the UK for instance, expressing racist thoughts online is illegal. Just ask Liam Stacey.
