pikabot: (ROFLMAO)

Ahahahahaha, oh wow.

I am lulzing so hard right now. So hard.

OK, so, I should have known better. I admit this. But when I saw Katara-bashing going down in [livejournal.com profile] atla_rants, I couldn't resist jumping in with both feet.

100+ comments ensued, and various statements of dire stupidity were made by two ladies in particular: [livejournal.com profile] dietotaku, and the inexplicably named [livejournal.com profile] sugeatarc.

[livejournal.com profile] sugeatarc begins by Accusing Katara of immaturity, not actually caring about Aang, deliberately undermining Aang's decision, and accusing everyone who disagreed with her of just not seeing the big picture. Unfortunately, it doesn't get much better from there: she repeatedly accuses Katara of playing dice with the universe by not running up to Zuko and giving him a big ol' hug on sight. When questioned on exactly how she was doing this, she never really gave a coherent reply, preferring instead to make nonsensical metaphors involving foxholes, and hilariously inaccurate comparisons to Song of Ice and Fire. When called out on her metaphor being bullshit, she does not respond and instead pursues the Song of Ice and Fire quibble. The closest she ever comes to answering our requests for an explanation is this winner of a comment, where she accuses Katara of driving off Zuko when he first appeared. Which, I suppose, is accurate, but she seems intent on ignoring the fact that so did everybody else. No response has been forthcoming to it being pointed out that she didn't think her cunning plan all the way through there.

Also, apparently Katara must be a perfectly behaved little angel at all times, as she also condemns Katara for getting pissy with Toph in The Chase. Apparently, not being sunbeams and unicorn rainbows to a newcomer is the same as actively trying to drive them away. Who knew.

Oh, and by the way? I'm a troll. Image macros are my only response.

The other offender, [livejournal.com profile] dietotaku, is another, but no less crazy, type of stupid. While [livejournal.com profile] sugeatarc contributes the massive ignorance, [livejournal.com profile] dietotaku brings the WTF. She consistently demonstrates a fundamental incomprehension of the way people interact. I could link to every single one of her comments, and each would show off a unique form of crazy, but here's a Greatest Hits list:



On the other side of the fence was myself, [livejournal.com profile] a_white_rain, and [livejournal.com profile] amiraelizabeth, who is now officially my fucking hero. Unfortunately, all we managed to do was stir up more batshit.

Now, this is all hilarious wank, but the real lulz comes in when it turns out that [livejournal.com profile] dietotaku is actually the creator and maintainer of [livejournal.com profile] atla_rants. Meaning? I'm now banned from the comm. Apparently [livejournal.com profile] dietotaku doesn't appreciate being compared to Rodimus Prime via image macro.

I am laughing my ass off here. I sort of want to create a new comm for Avatar rants, one with actual defined rules (including 'no character bashing'), and advertise it as 'The rants comm that WON'T ban you for disagreeing with the mod'.

ETA: HAHA, BONUS. I just checked the comm's user info, and [livejournal.com profile] dietotaku has made the following addition:

FIRST RULE: this is atla_rants, NOT capslock_atla. the douchebaggery tolerance level is substantially lower here. if you can't discuss a topic without breaking out macros and personal insults, don't bother posting at all.

The lulz factor just went up TWENTY-FOLD.

THIS MADE MY NIGHT. THE STUPID WAS... WAS EPIC STUPID.

Ps make that community. We NEED a good rant community that is filled with win like the one where you bitched about lack of girl on girl action in fandom. HELLO THE GIRLSLASH IS EVERY WHERE. FANDOM MOCKS THIS TRUTH.

....HAHAHAHAHAHA. Things like this make me sad for the next generation and their ability to actually understand what they are watching.

Oh man, you don't know how much I needed that laugh right now. People can be such pretentious assholes and I LOVE IT.

Just be careful about creating a sister comm, you might end up being mocked for grudgewanking like that guy who made antipokewifi (except he was twelve and an idiot)



...Avatar is SRS BUISNESS

Fantastic. *joins*

I LOVE NINE. <33333333

[identity profile] a-white-rain.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I HAVE HOPE THAT CE WILL MAKE PEACE WITH THE DOCTOR WHO PEOPLE SO WE CAN HAVE HIM AND TEN IN THE SAME ROOM AT SOME POINT. I THINK IT WOULD BE AMUSING BECAUSE NINE WOULD BE TOTALLY HORRIFIED AT WHAT HE'D BECOME.

[identity profile] a-white-rain.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
And, of course, Ten would be delighted to see Nine. Because Ten loves all of his past selves, even if the fifth one is his favortiest.

HAHAHA. Such STUPID. I am still baffled at the comment that you're a troll.

I guess that's what happens when you get an Avatar comm run by someone who is essentially from the anti-fandom.

*Joins your rant comm*

Wtfuuuuuuck? Man I would not be able to be as calm as you appeared to be.

[identity profile] a-white-rain.livejournal.com 2008-02-04 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
You know that is totally Ten!Logic. And Nine would be even more horrified than before. And he couldn't even kill himself because he'd turn into ten.

zuko's the woobie. katara's the bitch. and it is all her fault. aang and sokka were just as much of a part of the problem but they aren't going to get the grief she is. it's hypocrisy and it's stupid.

*pats you on the back* You are so not a troll; you're just trying to enlighten those poor misguided souls a bit. But some people don't want to be enlightened, they want to be right, dammit. :)

Now, I'd fully expect character bashing in a rants comm. But then, by my definition, rant means anything goes. And furthermore, I'd think any ranter should expect to have to defend their rants. But ranty people, in my experience, aren't very good at actually, you know, conceding, even in the face of clear, logical arguments. :)

I didn't read all the link mostly cause I don't like to hash my happy buzz but from what I've seen you kept the ranting and yelling out of the actual comments yes? At least until she/he/whatever called you a troll. (Also that macro is cool)

That is keeping your cool in an internet agurment.
