Because it bears repeating

[blamebrampton]

In the broad church that is fandom, anon hate memes are the Westboro Baptists.

If you can't bring yourself to ignore them, make amusing signs, dress up as a super-hero, stage a same-sex kiss-in in response, but for the love of bunnies, don't let them get you down!

Hear, hear!

and that means you, Ella!!! ;D

ETA: It never ceases to amaze/amuse me that you can post an entry on one day, and I can comment on it the day before!!! Time travel FTW!!

THIS. Amen, and amen.

As I said to you before, this is the best analogy ever.

My friend Jadzialove calls me her friend from the future, alas, no use for lottery results. I've just booked my flights to Italy: TWO Wednesdays! But, alas, I lose a Monday altogether ;-)

I think we need to spread it. The nasties are making perfectly fab people sad, which is ridiculous. Fab people should be happy about their fabness!

We would so be in the Good Fandom Church Choir (it would be one of the ones in a nice old church with good old hymns, but breaking out in the occasional soul and rock number and be fine with the gays and the atheists ;-))

It brings them joy, and since they are clearly not going to find that in genuine friendships or satisfying sex, we should let them grab it where they can, at the same time as ignoring them because we can. Unlike the actual WBC, who are more actively loathsome (though still unlikely to pull a satisfying shag ...)

i am completely clueless about this, and so, so glad for it. *hugs everyone* you are such a darling Brammers. we should have an open Love Meme to spread all the love.

I don't think I'll ever understand how people can find such pleasure in hate memes. But... whatever... mine is not to reason why.

Or some such shite.

I love your metaphors <3

That is all.

[jamie2109.livejournal.com]

There is a bonus to my vow about not participating in wank - I miss all this shit.

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

I have no idea who the Westboro Baptists are, but a same-sex kiss-in deserves a Halleluja, at the least. :)

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

Perfect metaphor....

*so much love for you*

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

Word!

In fact, the Good Word!

:D

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

I have no idea who the Westboro Baptists are
OMG I just exploded in a burst of envy. I so wish I didn't know either.

Don't look them up. They're depressing as fuck.

[annafugazzi.livejournal.com]

Hallelujah and amen!


Edited for more appropriate icon ;)

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

;) I am too tired to look them up tonight. But I'm suspecting we have something like them, too, in Germany.

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

We have! Go here to our open Love Meme. ♥

*waves and glomps*

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

Wow, reading about them is just so... depressing. I can't believe they did all that - esp. all the picketing at people's funerals, that's just horrible. :/

[mabonwitch.livejournal.com]

Instead of looking up the Westboro Baptists, I went and perused the love meme. Excellent stuff!

[creme-bun.livejournal.com]

I love bunnies. I love my part of fandom. I (occasionally) write happy (hoppy?) little fics. I read fluff (mostly). Ignorance CAN be bliss.

[elissande.livejournal.com]

I got as far as googling the Westboro Baptists. The search results were depressing enough I didn't follow any of them. Haven't seen any hate memes either. Hope it stays that way.

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor darling ella_bane!

Though occasionally tempted, I have never actually read any of the anon hate memes. Nor do I know who the Westboro Baptists are.

On another topic completely, I have found a fandom for which I don't think I could ever write smut porn erotica. I simply cannot, cannot get my head around the idea of Cumberbatch's Sherlock shagging anyone. Which is a terrible pity, because he is utterly delicious.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I find it hard to imagine most Sherlocks shagging anyone. Which is balanced by RDJ's Sherlock, who I can imagine shagging everyone.

And yes! Particularly ridiculous because Ella is a darling. I foolishly peeked once, and had to correct someone who thought I was an anti-American bitch. I am an anti-Stupid bitch. Quite different! I demand accuracy from my haters!

The Westboro Baptists would declare Blondie's family dangerous Bolsheviks. Steer clear!
