On Racewank, and wank in general

Jan 07, 2010 16:56

A number of mildly related issues have surfaced on the internet of late; the first is what is now being called "Moff's Law" and basically states "Do not ever comment in a serious thread that people should stop analyzing a piece and just enjoy it" (see: here) and the second is the release of the movie Avatar in mainland China.

You have a fair point about the tone of the discussion; I don't think I'd mind so much if 1) There was any basis for these accusations other than that the principals are white and 2) The racewank people weren't so convinced of their own righteousness to the condemnation of all other opinions.

A lot of it is that I'm kind of fed up with these people teasing out every single little insignificant thing to further the P7 theory, and as someone who most people assume is P7, I get a little defensive.

Also, I am uncertain that Avatar is worth watching anywhere but a theatre, but it is definitely a marvel there.

PS We should hang out <3

Avatar is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Titanic. If you like things that are pretty, you'll like Avatar.

Also, K won't be here until Sunday evening, so if you want a twofer it'll have to be later but I'm free all day.

Well, my plans with you predated my plans with Sarah, much as I love her, so you get precedence. I'm sure we can work something out; K didn't end up going home, so we've got all day now.

We saw The Princess and the Frog last night, actually, and it was very very enjoyable, definitely up to see it again.

Actually, I have been asking you almost every single day since SUNDAY if you were free tomorrow.

And you absolutely refuse to tell me one way or the other.

It's okay to say "No" you know. Just fucking tell me something next time plzkthnx.

Okay, chère, back the fuck off.

I see Colleen maybe once every couple of months, so even if that is the case and I'd forgotten (which is entirely possible), she still gets dibs. I will call you both tomorrow and we will work this out.

I totally get you wanting to hang out with Colleen! In fact, I think you should. I just wish you wouldn't have left me hanging.

That went from lofty and abstract critique to "dude, I totally sed" "nuh-uh" "yes I did, I totally did" SO FAST.

I love you all.

Also, hey look at how small this text field is!
