RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
OHMIGOD THE INTERNET IS EXPLODING.
Oh, wait, it's just a community that's been barely a blip on my fannish radar.
Am I worried for the rest of fandom? No, not really. Because the rest of fandom isn't calling Jensen retarded and whatnot, even in jest. Bottom line, it's libelous, and libel has consequences if the person being mocked catches on. And, to me, it's so much fucking worse than writing gay porn about the guy. I mean seriously, while almost every young, hot famous guy has gay porn written about him on the internet, it seems like only a few [only one?] have had their intelligence called into question [jokingly or not] by entire LJ communities.
'nuf said.
[ETA] This is not an "I told you so!" post, because frankly, 99.9% of fandom people are adults, and it should be common knowledge that creating potentially extremely libelous videos about an up-and-coming actor will get you beaten by The Man. I shouldn't HAVE to tell you so. :|
