The Recycled Racist Menu Story
So who remembers huntress69? (Assuming you wanted to, that is.)

Well, she's currently in reboot Hawaii Five-0 fandom, writing classic gems like "5 People Who Did What Was Necessary To Get Catherine Rollins Out Of Steve's Life (And How They Did It) - A Pseudo-Halloween Fic", and her latest recycled work "A Night At Wong-Wong's - The Remix Version" (because of course she couldn't refrain from re-writing this classic for ~~the third time~~ her latest fandom).

The second story is a repost because she took down the first version after someone said her story was racist. However, IN THE NAME OF FREE SPEECH, she put it back up again. AND she encourages everyone who wishes to write their own version to take the menu and apply it to their own fandom! Who wouldn't want to have a story centered around a menu with dishes such as "Sum Yung Chick (Different and Delicious)" and "Cum Too Soon (Order Early These Go Fast)"?

If there are other folks who have (publicly) posted how uncomfortable/angry/etc. they are over the second story, I am unaware of any other than this fanficrants entry, and one or two folks who commented on her initial (now deleted) fic post and the follow-up. I feel icky enough going there to find the above links without reading the supportive "You're not racist! WHO DARES SAY YOU'RE RACIST!" comments of her fans.

	That wasn't funny when I was eleven years old. I mean, it's so juvenile. The racism is like a nasty topping. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Right? Bad enough it's disgusting racist fic, worse that she's recycling it through a gazillion fandoms, but it's basically just throwing some crappy dialogue around a meme that's been around since before the Internet was invented. (Reply to this)(Parent)

You know, even if you ignore the racism, the fic is a steaming pile of poorly done boredom. Even if you can't see racism for some reason, it's just terrible. It's like a fic consisting of one boring joke, done 50 times.

So how come so many people like it?

It seems racism itself is the reason. That's the part people like about it. Which explains the reactions from her fans to "this is racist" really well.

Racism is bad, but it's what they like about the fic, therefore it's good, and not bad, and thus not racism. QED.

	There've been so many racism wanks over various fandoms in the past three weeks, that I've started to suspect that, too. I HATE that it's somehow become socially acceptable to spout racist bullshit again. I refuse to believe that this stuff isn't blatantly obvious to anyone who bothers to open their eyes. People can't be so clueless, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Is it Asian Stereotypes Week or something? There was the one yesterday, and then on another forum I'm on, there was a bit of a dustup about whether "Confucius say" jokes were racist or not. (Reply to this)(Thread)

I want to preface by saying that I should NOTNOTNOT have pulled this fic, no matter what. My LJ header states quite clearly "WHERE FREE SPEECH REIGNS" and I will stand by that, and for me to bow to any type of bad or nasty or cruel comments, as well as name calling, makes me TRULY ASHAMED that I pulled it. So here it is again and if it offends, then so be it. I will never allow myself to feel like this again...especially over a menu.

Woooooooow.

And from the comments:

I do not support prejudice in any way, although I support the rights to both be ignorant and use the media to communicate such ignorance without fear of censorship.[...]
I do not detect any racism in this fic. I am not Asian and am open to the possibility I, as a non-Asian, would be unable to understand offense being taken.

Emphasis mine. Holy cow.

Free speech means the government can't put you in jail for saying shit. It doesn't mean that, since we have free speech, anyone who tells you you're being an -ist douche should shut up and take your abuse. Free speech is not a god to be worshiped above all else, nor is it a free pass out of common decency.

Moreover, if people like her have free speech, SO DO THE PEOPLE CRITICIZING HER. Trying to silence them in the name of "free speech" is just -- ARGH.

	I was going to post that saying "Wong-Wong's Chinese Food Menu" is not racist would be like saying that Mr. Yunioshi in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is not racist, but, you know, I'm willing to bet some people have done just that. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cum Too Soon Ew... Reminds me of that cook book I saw on weeping_cock with recipes with bodily fluids listed as ingredients. Right to free speech means we also have the right to tell her to shut her racist mouth. The fic wasn't funny the first time and it still isn't. Some people just won't learn. (Reply to this)(Thread)
