Re: 130
Re: 130
This is that earth logic stuff they talk about on Fandom Wank. But rarely seem to use, in situations where the resulting logical conclusion might be that what they're doing is wrong. Which it is.
It's not the cause of all problems. It's got nothing to do with global warming, the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina or the abysmal lack of response thereto. But in terms of the poisonous social environment of internet fandom? A lot of the shit rolls downhill from there, whether you want to admit it or not. F_W is one of the places internet/fandom n00bs go to and start thinking it's cool to be nasty--because people will like you for it!
Dude, I went to a social event two years ago. It wasn't even a fannish party--it was actually the wake of a fairly close RL friend and it was held at the HQ of a religious organisation that we had both belonged to. Someone asked for my LiveJournal and I told them what it was. Across the room some complete stranger says to me, "Wow, you're really nice! Nothing at all like they say on Fandom Wank!" (Man, there's nothing like hearing some crazy shit from F_W at somebody's funeral.)
I shit you not. I know that as one of the anons in this conversation said, "you're not as famous as you think you are," and thank G-d for that, but shit like this does happen to me. And to lots of other people.
F_W is a shit-disturbing community that exists for the purpose of inflicting public humiliation on people who care "too much" about fannish stuff--and very occasionally, criminals like Victoria Bitter. But the Victoria Bitters are far outnumbered by the fairly innocent people out there who just happened to care a lot about whether two people got together on a TV show or something.
