I gave up on replying in the other threads last post; there was some quite long discussion going on, and I was a little unsure of who should be replied to ( Read more... )

I was fine with the comm as it was, and I think that the racist comments would have been best ignored rather than given a lot of attention...

Anyway, I'm concerned that now it'll be that anyone who doesn't like NewUhura is automatically called a racist.

I noticed that...

Personally - I kinda didn't like Nu!Uhura...I do like Zoe Saldana, but I didn't like how Uhura was written (I also wanted more scotty, but hey...can't have everything) I prefered tos Uhura...

I also didn't like the fact that the women's dresses had no rank...

You shouldn't be.
st_anon was really clear.

There's a difference between OH MY GAWD UHURA IS SUCH A BITCH...please write this prompt where her skin gets ripped off, because she sucks and is awful.

... often w/ subsequent discussion of why Uhura's skin should be ripped off

and...

I want Uhura's skin to be ripped off.

I haven't seen *ANY* race/sex wank in the second situation.

Only the first.

Because you haven't seen it totally means it doesn't exist, right?

Oh, wait. Maybe you're confusing wanks you have seen and wanks you have CAUSED. Because god knows the only contribution you've ever made towards this meme is wank.

Soon

far too fucking soon

came the dark time known as "After Summer". And the followers of the Word of Roddenbury and Saint Anon had to go on long treks to school and to work, returning at night to relax into the kinkmeme

(Like one of those hot baths or the green fluidy Jacuzzi that used to be in the recreation area but not anymore after the half-the-crew-is-pregnant-including-Chekov-dammit-Jim incident.)

On one of those days a girl with sparkling eyes and curly hair (totally not a Mary Sue) saw a Traveller on the roadside. The traveller looked parched and hungry and stuff so she bounded over to her, giving the salute of which she was taught from birth.

\o/

The Traveller looked up at her and heaved an epic sigh.

LO, DEMORA.

The child stood all amazed, not knowing how the stranger could have known her name because she wasn't even wearing her uniform or anything.

I KNOW ALL. (And it was totally true.) I AM SAINT ANON. ALSO, LIKE, ALL CHILDREN ARE CALLED DEMORA IN THIS MEME BECAUSE CHEKOV/SULU MAKES AWESOME MPREG AND THAT'S ( ... )

Argh. St. Anon, I am so sorry this is blowing up on you like this. I read the comments to the last post, and head-desked, with my fingers itching to reply. I read the first comment here, and had to go walk around the room to not type "it's not about the subject, it's about the venue; this is not the place for that discussion" about fifty times in response to it. To say nothing of what else I wanted to say.Personally? My impression of your attitude towards the way people seem determined to fight over Uhura is that you're tired of seeing her slammed but don't want the Kink Meme to be the venue for that battle. But even if your attitude were that she's a horrible character who should've been left out of the movie and deserves to be punished for existing, your primary goal is to keep the Kink Meme as low on argument as possible, which is a goal I see the reasons for and support ( ... )

This.

I haven't been able to refrain myself, and I'm going to make more of an effort in the future. It's just not worth it to engage - and these conversations are better had elsewhere, where people are willing to listen. I seem to have missed the latest maelstrom (thank goodness), but this.

Thanks again St Anon.

Repeatedly post offensive shit when logged in and I will ban your account.

sadly, this only means people are going to post anon and everything will continue

I think we can all agree and be sensible enough that IF this happens, we ignore it. Are we agreed?

Offensive anon comments can still be frozen or deleted by the mod... Not too hard to send a PM about it, eh?

LOL AT PEOPLE NOT GETTING IT.

IF THE PERSON IS ANON AND POSTING SHIT, PM THE MOD SO THREAD CAN BE FROZEN/DELETED. IF THEY ARE LOGGED IN, REPORT THEM SO THEY CAN BE BANNED.

AND IN ANY CASE, STOP ENGAGING THEM ARGGGHHH.

The 100+ comment threads arguing back and forth about what is offensive are annoying. Just fucking send a PM saying "O hay this is offensive pls take a look!" to the mod and keep on prompting. Taking up posting space arguing pointlessly on the internet with someone who probably doesn't give a fuck and isn't going to change their worldview on a goddamn kink meme takes up space for those non offensive prompters and writers who want to contribute.

Jesus Mary and Joseph oh my godddddddd.

And if it's a logged in user and you want to enlighten them to their own stupidity, for God's sake send them a PM and maybe they'll clean up their own shit.

It isn't rocket science.
