Breaking news! I get involved in DRAMAZ on FFA!

[transemacabre]

So on fail_fandomanon, the most recent post is well into 4000+ comments, and as FFA posts are closed at 5000 comments on ffa, this means everyone is twiddling their thumbs waiting for a new post to go up. So I toss out a thread to try to pass the time.



Yes, that's my OP, and *that's* some assclown who's mama must've been frightened by Waylon Jennings driving a pickup truck when she was carrying him/her.



Because of course it's mandatory to comment on an anonymous thread on ffa, and because I didn't make it Non-American Accessible, I'm an imperialist troll. Good to know!



I would just like to say at this point, that in my time in fandom I've seen some vile things. I've seen people turn on their so-called best friends. I've seen plagiarists. I've seen self-hating female misogynists. I've seen people telling other fans to go kill themselves. I've seen BNFs threatening to sue minors for talking about how another BNF is a known plagiarist. I've seen hypocrites who talk down to black people and then make tumblrs to educate whitey on how not to be racist (change starts at home, fuckers). I've seen and heard it all, s'what I'm saying. And hell, I ain't a perfect person. I'm not even sure I'm a good person. But hell, I laughed this shit off. This is minor leagues, y'all. And just look at this shit! THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY!



I would also like to mention that on this same ffa post, there's a thread with a pack of comments that asks the nonnies about their *personal finances*. Now, I ain't your mama. I guess it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to share your personal financial information with strangers over the internet, even anon. It just tickles me that MY thread is the wanky one, and not the one asking folks about their finances. Maybe because that one gives people a chance to talk about their favorite subject: themselves.

Wooooooow. Just goes to show if you ask a perfectly innocent question, expect a completely stupid shit-starting answer. I don't understand why if someone actually didn't care about a topic ("I don't have one, because I don't give a shit.") they would even bother to reply in the first place.

I almost wonder if this would've gotten the same reaction if someone had asked, "What's your favorite British accent?"


For the record, I like a lot of American southern accents. I'm pretty partial to the Tennessee drawl since most of my family's from there.

Annnnddd that's why I avoid anon threads. People get pissy over anything.

Also, when none Americans can't even be bothered to know New Orleans from Dallas, I wonder why they think I should know the damn nuances of their culture, and further think I'm an arrogant asshole if I don't.

I think the reaction would absolutely have been different had I asked about BRITISH accents, and thank you for bringing that up.

I think the reaction I got was partly just shit-stirring, partly anti-Southern/anti-American bias.

I don't know if its so much an anon thing as a fandom/internet thing. Fandom is filled with Internet Badasses, and there is safety in hiding behind a screename or even anon. I guarantee you, nonny would not have said a word to my face. Not a fucking *word*.

I stared at these caps for, like, two whole minutes

trying to figure out what the FUCK happened?

All you did...was ask a question? Apparently you want to start ~drama?? I hate people. I hate everything.

FTR, I am quite fond of New Orleans accents.

LOL, I remember seeing that thread and was like, wtf. I hate FFA, but I check it once a day anyway. I think it's basically a watering hole for assholes. Once in a great while I'll start to enjoy myself there, and then something like that will happen.

FWIW, I really enjoy Tennessee accents. I had a few friends from there and thought their way of speaking was supremely nice.
