I have hives. Maybe I'm allergic to the chart?¹

I am not attacking anyone who has had a laugh or two at the chart. God knows I've been amused by things in pretty poor taste myself from time to time. I am attacking specific defenses that have been offered to justify the chart's fail.

1. It's parody. Clearly, the female characters on it represent ( Read more... )

This is me, saying right here, right now: I am so sick of the outpouring of racist bullshit that's followed on the heels of the election.

Enjoy those links? I didn't look for them. I stumbled on all of those just by reading my friendslist and chatting with friends. Some were linked approvingly, some in disbelieving disgust (oneironaut: "Okay, we're cutting ( Read more... )

It really seems like in fandom, anyone who actually takes time to explore the deeper ramifications of just about anything--from female-negative language in a show's dialogue to the reasons a certain popular behavior is unhelpful--is characterized as a tightly wound loser with sand in her vagina and no life ( Read more... )

Here is a funny April Fool's Day joke.Also in the category of "funny April Fool's Day jokes" would be Kingdom of Loathing making a joke familiar based on a retarded HAL 9000. Livejournal saying that they'll be offering a graphic of an upraised middle finger as a virtual gift ( Read more... )

I rediscovered an old fic that I'd once seen on AFF.net where Sasuke is a horrible, abusive husband and Sakura runs into Naruto's arms and acknowledges how much she wuvs him. Of course, he's been there for her, suffering in silence, the whole time.

All right, Naruto fandom, I give the fuck up. You want to believe that there's no evidence that Sakura is in love with Sasuke, that Sasuke's treatment of her can be summed up with a Margaret Atwood quote about an abusive husband, that Sakura is a prize to be awarded to the worthiest male, that Lee is some kind of romantic superbeing, that SasuSaku ( Read more... )

There are some very valid things I could be angry about lately. But that would hurt. So instead, I'm going to be angry about Naruto fandom, which is about as pointless as you can get, but it's fun! So here it is, another installment of Naruto Mischaracterization Myths: EXPLODED!
( Including: Neji and Hinata as well as Sakura and Many Other People! )

Oh, drama, will you never cease to amuse ( Read more... )

This was going to be a laughfest about how crazy the scaryfans are, but instead it turned into an open letter to them. Note: nobody is allowed to complain to me about how I'm talking about HP too much. This is my journal, bitches. Complain in your own about what I write in mine if you must.
( However, I will definitely cut for spoilers. )

I'm getting kind of tired of all the bashing of the FMA anime that goes on. And for once I'm not talking about people on the MU*s but rather people scattered about LJ ( Read more... )
