Fucking hell.

I've only heard about this through various friends, and not seen the actual wank, but I just saw what happened after [livejournal.com profile] arabe1la posted about incest on her LJ. What the fuck, man? What the HELL happened to everybody?!

WHO THE FUCK WOULD HONESTLY DEFEND INCEST and NOT expect to have the backlash of those who don't agree with them?! If you're going to write incest, expect fucking consequences!

What the hell is WRONG with those people?! And what the hell is wrong with Arabella pointing out her own point of view on HER OWN LIVEJOURNAL?!

Oh, and my favorite bit: making "incest" synonymous with "slash" and, of COURSE, just because Arabella doesn't like incest she MUST be a HOMOPHOBE, because those people know her SO goddamn well! That's logic there, my friends. Really. Wonderful, wonderful show of those with brains and those without.

Fucking hell. I'm so glad I was away when all this happened. At least I got a break from all the bullshit. I'm sorry for those who got hurt, and I am DEFINITELY sorry that Arabella decided to delete her journal. Fucking wankers. Jesus.

To add more crap: I came home to a fucked-up Word. It now won't open ANY files, and won't open at ALL, and yes, I had a fic on there. Fantastic. *sigh* Dammit all to hell.

Ok, had to vent. Off to write more on WordPad. At least that opened. Grrrr.

People who value their right to Free Speech more than anything else? People who jump to conclusions, and who confuse arguing with insulting, just as they confuse harmful activity with natural sexual tendencies? People who think that you agree with everybody who friended you, even if you never friended them BAX?

[livejournal.com profile] arabe1la should have gone friends-only.

Eugh, I know. It's such a crock of SHIT, man.

*many, many, many, many hugs for you*

And *turns to Liz's Word* - YOU. WORK. NOW. WE NEED LIZFIC. (only not, um, fic about Liz, because as much as I love and adore her, that would be creepy. heh.)

What the shit happened? Somebody recap, I've been too busy listening to Roy Orbison in a weepy stupor to pay attention to shit. (And I was wondering why Arabella deleted her LJ--if there's somebody's ass I need to kick, that can and will be arranged.)

Yay Le Tigre.

(Word PAD--it's an omen, Liz! Run with it!)

And it took them like a month to find it. I remember the original post, before I left. I read it, nodded ("WORD"), and continued on. It was an opinion (not to mention a SANE one, which is a freaxing miracle in this fandom), and it was posted on her own LJ. WTF?

Anyone who thinks Arabella is homophobic has obviously missed out on some very good slash. Poor dears.

Hope Word starts working. :( And welcome back!

[From a Cara in a rather odd mood:]

I love you :P
Come back to England.
Please?
He he

I hope people realize that civil liberties are going down the tubes when I become King. You'll get what rights I think I can trust you with, not a single one more. ;)

Welcome bax, and glad to hear you had a lovely time overseas.

Wow, were people actually defending incest-full-stop? I thought it was just about incest-fic, which like all fic (IMO) is harmless. I take exception to the idea that there are things people "shouldn't" write about-- for titillation or anything else-- especially when the argument is that some poor (deluded) children might think Incest Is Good Because Some Ficcer Has A Bizarre Kink Harry Potter Does It (which seemed to be her argument-- correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm hazy on the whole thing). Because anyone who's that impressionable has no business being on the internet unsupervised.

'Course, I wasn't involved at all, and didn't give a damn until fandom_scruples appeared on the scene, at which point I was pointing and laughing along with the rest. Didn't read the post in question, didn't read the comments, though frankly it doesn't surprise me-- there are jackasses that cry "homophobe" at the drop of a hat. Such a good insult. "Homophobe" is the new "fag"!

Really, she was entitled to rant about whatever she wanted, but like I said-- I don't like the implication that people "shouldn't" write... whatever. Pick a subject. Especially if it's for the Sake of the Children.

Welcome back, Liz! Ireland sounds lovely. Note to self: Go to Ireland.

Yes, the bloody wankers are asshats. Arabella a homophobe? BWAH. I must have been imagining the slash she has posted at THK. And Smut Week too... just a figment. Not real, apparently. *eye roll*

Because how does not liking Ron/Ginny make her a homophobe?

Seems to me a LOT of villages around the world are missing their idiots...

*hugs Liz* Welcome back! I'm glad you had a great time, and I hope your evil Word program is working now. :D

As for Arabella... amen. It infuriates me what happened to her, not to mention the idiocy that happened when people took her post and used it as the basis for their "blacklist." *sigh* Yeah, you missed a lot. But be glad.

I read that whole thing too, and was pissed off. But in the middle of being pissed off, I read that 'A is a homophobe!' and... well, [livejournal.com profile] prettyannamoon said it - the poor dears have missed out on some very good slash. Oh yes.

And then... I.. couldn't stop snickering.

And I'm GLAD you're BACK! :D Missed yooooou. Got your postcard! :D :D

Good post. Very.

I sort of ended up in the middle of this and I found this all rather vastly amusing until the wank really picked up speed and people started getting hurt. I was very sad to see [livejournal.com profile] arabe1la go. I was also very angry at the treatment of percival.

It's good to see you enjoyed Ireland. If your Ireland is like my Prague, well, I can imagine it must've been pretty amazing :)

That sucks.
I mean, the whole point of a Livejournal is to vent your feelings. If people don't like it, well, screw them, but they have no right to completely stereotype someone just based on their general ideas! God, I hate crap like this. No wonder Arabella stopped writing on Livejournal.
