lizbee: A sketch of myself (Random: sulking Pigeon)
[personal profile] lizbee

A behaviour I first spotted in Doctor Who fandom that has now spread to Legend of Korra fans:  where an episode is so offensive and objectively objectionable that people lose their ability to use cut tags!

I mean, it surely is some kind of unintended side effect, and not just people being fucking rude.

Sometimes I wonder how people in fandom manage to go through one day without exploding from all the offense they endure EVERY SINGLE WAKING MOMENT.

I almost miss the days when even the most blatantly offensive shit was somehow acceptable.

One should indeed never underestimate the human ability to take something meant to improve the world and twist it into a stick to hit and hurt other people with.

My theory is that lots of people are quite sheltered.

Yes, this. I once saw someone claim that some fic that approriated some disaster or another was the most offensive thing they had ever seen, and I only barely restrained myself from leaving a comment to tell them to watch the fucking news sometimes.

Yes, the fic was stupid and offensive and deserved all the mocking and scorn it got, but you have to be pretty out of touch from reality to call it the worst thing ever.

Who are you to use your skimming privilege to ignore what they have to say?

What part of the episode was it that people find so horribly offensive, anyway?

I've been made very cross (nay, angry) by things on the internet but I've never forgotten how to do HTML. I can't imagine how angry some people are to be able to do that.
