Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

FUCKING SERIOUSLY, I dunno about the mocking part, but there's a whole acafen contingent on Tumblr that talks about how world-revolutionizing Tumblr and Tumblrspeak is and it goes along with the whole 'when you write fanfic you are queering the text' and all the rest of that Aja-esque BS. I'm totally all for fanfic studies, but to me it's that same kind of binary thinking where if you don't dismiss transformative works, then making them is the same thing as climbing up on a barricade. Sigh.
