Well, guys...

We made it.

... dude.

What happened to being a non-wanky fandom?

We used to jokingly wank over what kind of skirt Kaito should be put in ficcage. And now we're on fandom_wank?

*shakes head*

[meimi.livejournal.com]

Eh, it only takes one wanker fapping away unto eternity to get on f_w, and Knightus seems to be doing quite well in that regard. *shrugs* I don't think it reflects badly on the fandom, after all it's mostly him who's doing the stupid dance.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they all seem to know it to. *lolz at the comments mocking Knightus--hey, f_w peeps are funny when they insult*

And now I go sleep before Candy keels me ded. *waves*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

There's a troll over there slinging shit around and saying it's making it a more balanced presentation...despite the fact that A) nobody cares, B) it's setting itself up for shameless mocking, and C) I don't think it has a single bit of proof to back up anything it's saying, as opposed to Beca, who has careful documentation.

Ergo, troll looks like a moron and everyone mocks it.

YOU NEED TO START SLEEPING AT A REASONABLE HOUR, WOMAN!! *WAVES MALLET AT YOU*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

It is true that Knightus (and to be fair, I think some of it is his supporters' doing, and I'm up in the air as to whether or not he knew about some of it--so I'll be fair on that point) is doing a lot of it...but at the same time, it also means that Beca's name could potentially get drawn through the mud. I think thus far public opinion is on her side, though.

[meimi.livejournal.com]

Oh man, unless she starts foaming at the mouth and shrieking like a harpy (i.e. like his supporters are doing), then there is nothing to worry about. They've already got the locals poking them with sticks thanks to their stupidity of trying to justify their actions with vague points of contention without supplying any proof of wrongdoing.

I mean, come on, anyone with half a brain knows that attempting to argue the point on f_w only opens one up to further mocking. :D They're going to eat that troll alive~

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Three and a half years we've been in this fandom (because I think you and I fell into it around the same time?) and so far as I know, this is the first time it's exploded.

...so what kind of skirt should Kaito be put in? *SHOT*

[meimi.livejournal.com]

An invisible one. 8D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

... *hands you a shiny new internet*

[meimi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was checking my flist over on jf earlier and saw that. It's been awhile since I've seen a wank I knew about beforehand. Odd that~

Edit: The wank is amusing me greatly at this point. Apparently, Knightus is solely responsible for keeping the fandom from vanishing off into the aether. Who knew?

I dunno. Would a blood offering suffice or do I have to burn some precious doujinshi at his altar? =(

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I've been following it for quite a while now--I've been a willing ear for Beca through a lot of it, which is why it's become very personal for me.

Oh, the anony-troll? Yeah. Apparently doesn't realize that nobody really cares. Especially when troll isn't providing any actual evidence to back up its claims. And this isn't even the fandom proper. These are people who have no connection to it whatsoever, so there's no way to claim bias.

Granted, I told some of my students about the basics of the situation--had a nice discussion with them about internet harassment, and actually gave one of them a couple of pointers on documenting such things. When fourteen-year-old high school freshmen are going "What the hell?" YOU HAVE ERRED.

Hmm...what kind of doujin were you thinking? *hides the pr0nz*

[meimi.livejournal.com]

It seems that the choice has been made for us. Thankfully, I have none. Really. Really really. No, that isn't a stack of yaoi doujin over there. What are you talking about? *INNOCENT! FIR REALZ!!!*

[randomaicoholic.livejournal.com]

It's bad that I shed an emo tears, whispering "My lovely fandom, it became an adult, so touching." Y-Y XD;

Well, beeing put on fandom wank haven't killed anybody...yet.
We've lost the count for the number of HP wank and there are still potterfiction, ne?

(sigh)
That beeing said, it would have been better if the wank was funny and not nasty. If it was something like... I dunno, a good old pairing wank, or... hey, Candy, you're sure you don't want an I-pod?XD

(The title of the wank repport was pure genius)XD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Three and a half years I've been into this series and fandom. Haven't seen anything like this, and as I understand there hasn't been anything like this before. We pride ourselves on being wank-free >_>;;

*laugh* Oh, the Harry Potter wank on there is fairly legendary. The big difference, though, is that HP is a HUGE fandom. DC/MK, on the other hand, is a great deal smaller, and rather tight-knit in many circles. So when something like this happens, it has the potential to hit a LOT of people in varying ways.

Like you said, it's not even funny wank. It's bitter and nasty. But really, all we can do is ride it out and wait for it to settle back down. And I've got an mp3 player that I love ^__^

I agree on the title z(^o^)b

[randomaicoholic.livejournal.com]

"Like you said, it's not even funny wank. It's bitter and nasty. But really, all we can do is ride it out and wait for it to settle back down."
Well, yes but NOW it's a funny wank...Well, almost...
Sockpuppet makes every wank...wankier.
Sharing your thoughts on ya... scantrads on fandomwank?
If I was sweet, I would found this newbie's behaviour ridiculously cute but...

...but I've never pretended to be the fandom equivalent of mother Teresa so...


BWAHAHAHAHA, DEFENDING YOURSE...(cough) Knightus ON FANDOM FREAKING WANK! WHAT A MORON!
OH PLEASE, SOCKPUPPET/KNIGHTUS/KNIGHTUS'S DADDY/TROLL, SHOW ME MORE, I'M SURE YOU COULD DO BETTER! YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT YAOI, SHOW THEM!XD
(In fact, we've already get her/his thoughts on the subject but still, not enough details. XD; )

It's still pathetic..(shakes head).

But it's still funny.

"And I've got an mp3 player that I love ^__^"
Oh, you're sure you doesn't want a second I-pod?

Come on, Candy, beeing a self-centred BNF using her fans as slaves, and despised by the jealous meanies who don't have enough fans to get free laptop, you know it's your secret dream.X)

Now that we're officially on FW, we could wank without a bit of shame, ne? as long we're doing it in a fun way.XD

"The big difference, though, is that HP is a HUGE fandom. DC/MK, on the other hand, is a great deal smaller, and rather tight-knit in many circles. So when something like this happens, it has the potential to hit a LOT of people in varying ways."
Well, since I didn't know personnaly the people involved, I keep a bit of distance with the wank but I see where you're coming.
Yes, let's hope it would end the sooner possible. Fandom is for fun, after all.
(sigh)

[rasgos-76.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing from what I was told before, its bad it mad it?

I read the post and I think its not all that bad :/ I mean it could be alot worse, but it isn't, so not all that much harm done?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

If you've made it onto Fandom Wank, you have reached the epitome of fandom idiocy/notoriety. It's a big comm that most people in fandom are very aware of.

The situation as it stands is that bad. The website hacking was ultimately what decided her to go public on this, and the one IM she received was potentially a federal crime (internet harassment). I doubt she'll press charges because the fact is that scanlating a licensed series is illegal. So...it is a big mess. We can only hope it ends soon.

[alena_s_anigor.livejournal.com]

*headdesk*

Dear God, this knows no boundaries...

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I know. It just won't stop...and I am sort of fearing repercussions on this, even though MBG had nothing to do with it. Plus, the comments are all from complete strangers with no bias at all >_>;;

It can't go on much longer, can it? Really?

[alena_s_anigor.livejournal.com]

I...honestly don't know. I hope it's going to stop soon. I don't know why the hell do people have this need to blow everything out of proportions. This is either going to stop abruptly (which I hope will) or it will go on and culminate in something I don't even want to think about...

Poor MBG... *huggles her and the whole DC fandom...except some people*

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

*patpat*

Oh the bright side, if more people know that Knightus is being a tard, it could be easier to get him to STFU, right? Right? @_@

*distracts you with Fakir*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I haven't gone back and looked at the post again, but it sounds like the troll over there is being eaten alive. Which makes me laugh--you don't go into f_w with a banner flying and expect to come out of it in one piece.

Fakiiiiiiiiiiir ~♥♥♥

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

I didn't look a ton either, but I didn't know there was a troll. HAHAHA.

YES! *wants to like clear out icons she never uses and make a ton of him cause... FAKIR* I got my mommy through the tree episode >D

[kuririnchan.livejournal.com]

wow...f_w. The community has really reached a new height...or a new low... :P

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

It's funny how those two can be interchangeable in certain situations.
