that last comment didn't work because my brain is not pastede in.
isn't it? I snurched it from around F_W and have been waiting for the right delicious moment to use it. Thank you, vm_truth for giving me that moment. (and to you mousie for facilitation)
Man that is funny stuff over there. I'm trying to start up a Princess Bride icon fest just to annoy the OP. Apparently, posting with my nick perverts the rulz of the meme (http://vm-truth.livejournal.com/312.html?thread=304952#t304952)! OH NOES!! I just want ATTN!!!
Urgh, I am kind of in awe of your ability to take the meme in stride. I just get ranty and wander around wanting to punch some fucker for being a douche-bag.
Thanks! I couldn't resist making it after the BSG finale. Just was so appropriate.
and as for the meme, I guess I see the net as a crazy place to begin with. Learned a long time ago to just accept that some people are arrogant ignorant jerks who would litter in the Garden of Eden and expect you to leave the litter there as a freedom of expression. Oh-key *eye-roll* Of course, if I saw them actually littering, then I'd go right off!
Srsly, my family provides me with enough rantiness and I just look at vm-truth as a place to say "See, I'm not crazeeeeee!!!!"
I don't mind the ranting, but I do think one should have the courage of their convictions and use the user name. It's not like someone you malign is going to send cops after you. I find the batshit the anonymousness brings out awfully amusing though.
Heh. I think whoever started it doesn't quite realize that VM fandom skews somewhat older than other shows - hence the lack of negativity/wankery/shipper wars. Seems to me the number of noobs in VM fandom is relatively small and, seriously, if you cut your teeth on Romo-NoRo/Cliffies-Candies/totallygay-totallybffs fandom wars back in the day, you're going to get into it over Logan and Duncan why again?
Cliffies were Michael-Isabel shippers and Candies were Michael-Maria shippers from Roswell fandom - it got pretty heated and words like "incest" got tossed around a leeeetle too frequently, IMO. In most fandoms, I think shipping indicates radically different ways of viewing story and character - i.e. Clark and Lex, versus Clark and Lana - and VM is sooooo centred on Veronica as protagonist and pov character that who you think she should or could be with romantically doesn't impact the perception of the show the way the belief that Xena and Gabrielle were totally screwing changed Xena:WP.
So true. I mean, I prefer L/V to V/D but why would I have ship wars when I can ogle the pretty instead?
Wordy McWord - it should all be about oggling the pretty.
Thanks! I was a Dreamer (ugh, hate ship names, hate hate hate) myself, though I did love Michael/Maria. But anyway, fictional couples, why get real ulcers over them?
And there is so much pretty and so little time that doing anything else is rather pointless :)
hahahaha. I've been bashed pretty badly and I'm enjoying the fuck out of it! I'm surprised they didn't friend you though. You're pretty known in the fandom.
Dude, you're attitude astonishes and uplifts me... I looked at the first page and was filled with a kinda rage-y sick feeling that made me want to smach somebody. Obviously, I need to find the zen of the wank. But the thread about Fandom_Wank Is Pure was priceless. Not that I still don't want to thump someone because the general idea of an anonymous hate meme is fucking weak.
The idea of hate memes is cowardly, but the idea of someone thinking fandom is SO important to them they must create a meme is just...self-defeating in an amusing way.
Yes! I wasn't even too much a fan of Koi Mil Gaya, but Krrrish (is that enough r's?) has Underworld written all over it so going to be seeing it. Hrithik in black leather? C'mon.
