Crisis on Infinite Social Media (lji season 9, entry 2)
Missing stair is a term coined by blogger Cliff Pervocracy in 2012 for an abuser or harasser tolerated in a community, even though they are as obvious and well known a fault in that community as a missing step is in a staircase. - From The Geek Feminist Wiki, hosted by Wikia
Welcome to Celebispace Chat! Tonight's guest: Miley Cyrus
WonderfulDiana
You know, it wasn't a big deal. I often wear a jacket or sweater in cold rooms. I didn't always have a choice in the outfit. It's Greek armor! But add a coat, suddenly I was defacing gospel.
SelinaCougar
Is he there? If he is, tell him to burn in hell. And I love him. Mostly to burn in hell, though. Did he mention me? I hope he didn't mention me. But did he?
Mrs_Jay
Gee, you're hopeless, kittie. Fawning over Bats like he'd miraculously gain attachments with a few more elbows to the head.
WonderfulDiana
As much as I hate to say it, the little psycho has a point. I tried myself. Never got anywhere. He'd rather be alone than live with the possibility of loss again.
Mrs_Jay
Exactly. So, you see, I'm smart and you're not.
SelinaCougar
Okay, Smartie, how many times has the Clown hit you? Kicked you out? He sets off more red flags for being an abusive boyfriend than Edward Cullen.
BellaBBad
Hey!
SelinaCougar
Who let her in here? Her ex with the marvelous abs has f**ked up fantasies about her daughter. Considering the creepy daughter, creepy fantasies are creepy. And she's okay with it! Get Deliverance Girl out of here!
User BellaBBad kicked...
Stargrrl
Done and done.
SelinaCougar
Thank God. It's bad enough the real celebrities are allowed in here. I want to see Kim Kardashian wrestle a power-ring toting Black Mask.
Stargrrl
Or deal with her family being murdered by secret agents...
WonderfulDiana
Or fight gods and long lost relatives who threaten the world's safety...
Mrs_Jay
Or deal with Mister Jay's dutch oven fascination...
SelinaCougar
Ugh.

It gets better and better...
WonderfulDiana
Ah, Miley. We've been expecting you.
MCPostHannah
Oh, Wonder Woman! I'm your biggest fan! I'm empowering women just like you!
WonderfulDiana
...Excuse me?
MCPostHannah
It's okay to be sexy and female. Vagina is power!
WonderfulDiana
Look, I just got back from ripping fifteen titanium arms off of robots and pile-driving Black Adam through a subway tunnel. I did all of that without a jacket thanks to my rabid fans thinking the thermal comfort of antiquated magical armor was all I needed on a cold Metropolis night. Don't ever have the ego to compare yourself to me. You know what, bring back Harley. She's crazy, but she never said anything stupid.
Stargrrl
Whoa, whoa, Diana. Settle down. No fighting with the celebrities. We'll get HQ back.

Mrs_Jay
Wow, did I miss anything? I went from perma-ban to Stars telling me to relog.
SelinaCougar
I think Diana decided The Joker's dutch oven was more tolerable than the average ego of an Earth celebrity. I'd suggest staying out of it. And making popcorn. On my second bag here.
MCPostHannah
Oh, uhmm, I didn't mean to offend, but I've always looked up to you. You taught me it was okay to be a sexy woman in the limelight, that you could rise above that and sway minds. You could be artistic and different.
SelinaCougar
Very little is different about you. You've taken Disney cartoony presence and made it immaturely adult. A pop artist who sells sex and shock without making a point about either. You've deconstructed yourself into body parts. A slide here, your mouth there, skinny ass on the side. Objectification in scores.
Mrs_Jay
Do...you always talk like that? No wonder Bats fell for you. You're as dull and all thinky as old pointy ears.
WonderfulDiana
Hey, here's a novel concept: I would have ended up fighting in a magical bustier even if I had matted hair, crossed eyes and buck teeth. I don't back down from a fight. No Amazon does. I spend time on my appearance because...because I don't know why.
SelinaCougar
Same reason I obsess over my weight so I can slip into more leather and latex, only to have people focus on the provocative poses I'm sometimes caught in. The world responds to heteronormative beauty.
Mrs_Jay
Yeah, catsuits...how exhausting...
MCPostHannah
It's art. What I do is changing art. I'm avant-garde.
Mrs_Jay
Uhmm...I know a lot of people with strong identities and even stronger artistic expressions. Not once in my sweet man's quest for madness or reading terrible limericks written by the Riddler or being exposed to hallucinatory toxins from the Scarecrow did I see a tongue slide. You're...weird, gal.
SelinaCougar
Give the crazy one a prize.
MCPostHannah
I'm a feminist, fighting the newest plight in a man's world.
WonderfulDiana
Stop right there. You don't know what it is to fight oppression. I can't wear a jacket. You get that? I'm good enough to save the world, but if I put on a hoodie, I deface everything I apparently stand for, when I thought I stood for justice, not lingerie. The difference between us is I'd rather not really be a sex symbol. Now I have expectations I have to live up to. I'd like to wear a jacket. You don't even acknowledge there's a choice between the two. You just put your boney little butt out there and sell more sex in a show than I do all year.
SelinaCougar
What she is trying to say is, you bring this whole spotlight on powerful women thing down around us. Suddenly, if it's not a side of my ass they're snapshotting, Miley Cyrus's big tour bumps us back to page five. We're out affecting society, for better or worse, while there's little redeeming value in what you bring to the table. I could stop wearing leather and cracking whips like every man's dominatrix fantasy, but that's my limit. See, the rest of us have drawn a line in the sand of how far we'll cave to the general misogyny of the western world's expectation that powerful women must be attractive. You, on the other hand, see no line.
Stargrrl
I avoided some of that, being younger. Until I added my midriff and tight shorts that are a little more cheerleader than I wanted. You know, we really should fire all our fashion consultants. Or hire women fashion consultants.
MCPostHannah
I have one of those who's also a feminist!
WonderfulDiana has gone AFK...
SelinaCougar
Right, so, we should fire them all and do what we want. F**k what they think from now on. We're good at what we do. They won't be able to ignore us.
Mrs_Jay
But what if Mister Jay doesn't want to rev up his Harley after?
MCPostHannah
So, we're okay, right? No hard feelings? Wait, brb, someone is at the door...
Stargrrl
Huh. That was weird. Someone accessed the databanks with full clearance five minutes ago. Only got a list of unlisted residences, though. Okay, we should wrap this up so I can investigate. Goodnight in Arkham and Themyscara. Let us thank our guest, Miley Cyrus, and see if she has any final remarks.
MCPostHannah
Oh, god, Wonder Woman tore through my wall! She's demanding my iPad!

BREAKING NEWS
Tonight, a small rectangular meteorite has struck a mainframe computer system that was running a chat interface moderated by the superheroine Stargirl. Though the Star-Spangled Kid was uninjured in the attack, public relations have said the matter will be handled internally.
rAnDoMiNtErWeBzTrOlL-la-la-la
Have you seen what Stargirl is doing with her hair now? Miley Cyrus should give her tips. The whole, my house is now a crater look, not very flattering!
