Trolls in the dungeon: BSG meta.

Oct 13, 2009 18:43

This trolly secret got posted to f!s today, and I'm... a bit annoyed. Sure, it's a troll. But the underlying message: that it's ok to celebrate a female character's death because she dumped your whoobie is... pissing me off ( Read more... )

snark, rambling, dee is more awesome than you, sff, sff:battlestar galactica (new), invading poland

There used to be a Lee/Dee com called Open_Com. Maybe it should be revived.

And Amen to everything Lys said above.

I was just thinking Open Com is the only Dee community that I know of, and that it might be a good place to start.

This is gross. End of story. *checks everything you said*

Attention-whoring troll=no longer funny.

Well, I might think that the Caprica puppy person is real. ;)

It's just...there are ways to have an unpopular opinion without being an ass, but anonymity is apparently too attractive for some people. There's a few BSG every now and then when I look on there, but most of them don't actively try and piss people off. But I also don't remember them very long, these leave a kind of nasty stink that lingers. Blergh.

I... would like to think it's not racism so much as the usual Die For Our Ship shenanigans with Dee and with Uhura. At least with Battlestar, I know there was a subsection of Lee/Dee shippers who were equally bad about Kara and her supposed 'death; ' with Star Trek you can't really compare because there's no way Kirk/Spock poses any kind of canon threat, internet petitions aside, so there's no reason for Spock/Uhura shippers to take the gloves off. But that may be that last pesky shred of faith in humanity. Some of the comments directed at Dee - toffee Barbie what the HELL - are definitely racist ( ... )

(nods) All this.

Only not that sad because Tory was better, for, er, a while there.
You know, there are *still* people who say that they hated Tory from the word go because she had that habit of NOT BEING BILLY and existing. That poor kid is responsible for female character hate everywhere you look. XD

I was actually comparing the "how dare that uppity black woman take her man/job/life by the horns, we should totally bring her down a peg" sentiment. And if you argue that's not racist, I have a couple threads on the kink meme (and at least one meta post iirc) to show you.

I haven't watched Sacrifice in a while because I think it's made of epic!fail and I have no interest in it so I could be remembering this wrong but...didn't Dee end things with Billy before her 'date' with Lee? Perhaps, in her mind, she and Billy were already over before she went out with Lee. And are we even sure they made a 'date'? Perhaps they were just both at the same place at the same time ( ... )

a fic/challenge comm for supporting all the hated women characters of BSG, especially the minor ones

I, too, would be so onto that.

havocthecat October 15 2009, 13:21:53 UTC

I would join both of those in a heartbeat.
