One white fan on "showing your ass"

[tacky_tramp]

Dear Fandom,

There’s a phrase I’ve learned recently that I quite like: “To show your ass.” Urban Dictionary defines it as, “To act like a complete idiot.” So-and-so says something colossally stupid and insulting, and someone else, describing the incident, says, “So-and-so needs to stop showing her ass.”

I saw that on metafandom. To me it was no more than a 'WHY CAN I USE MY PRIVILEGE ON DISCUSSIONS?'.

It depressed me.

Seriously. I keep wondering what exactly she wanted to say about Foreman that was going to make us descend like a dark horde of vengeful harpies.

OT, but I recently had to exchange cheerful emails with Berkowitz on behalf of my boss. The whole time I was thinking, "OMG Y U H8 MAH P0RN? :(((("

Here’s the thing. When I say, “So-and-so needs to stop showing her ass,” I don’t mean, “So-and-so should stay inside her house and never allow people to lay eyes on her because she's an incorrigible human being.” I mean, “So-and-so needs to put on some goddamn pants.”

Can I have an AMEN from the choir!

Sadly, I can think of one person who I just unfriended on IJ who thinks that being asked to put on some pants is self-censorship and infringing on her religious obligation to be erotically weird. Or something.

Come back here! There's a corner with your name on it!

Yes! Thank you. I wanted to be surprised that someone had actually said we should "get on with the mixing", but today? There is no fandom stupid that surprises me.

you know, i almost wrote a rant about seeing that in a comment at a british journalist's blog post about the elections. I still might. People have this incredibly clueless view of interracial relations in this country, honest to god.

Testify!

Honestly, some people need to learn the difference between "put on some goddamn pants" and "wear this burqa for the rest of your life."

You want to LIMIT MY FREEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

I'm sure this violates some sort of Constitutional amendment, and don't tell ME you foreigners don't have a Constitution.

[delux_vivens]

But... your tone!

*runs away*

[tacky_tramp]

One should always be supremely polite when discussing asses.

[delux_vivens]

I mean, dont you want to catch flies with your polite tone honey?

[tacky_tramp]

Oh, right! Let me revise
