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!

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.

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.

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

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

Perfect metaphor....

*so much love for you*

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. :/

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

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.

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.

A++ would laugh again

Praytell - what is a hatememe?

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

This is a genius analogy!

Given the forum, maybe cat macros?

Yes, we know

I live in Kansas, home of the Westboro Baptists (I lurk here occasionally, hoping for more 'Fathers') and I can assure you that the vast majority of Kansans would support an action to 'delete the account' of the hatemongers from Topeka. Add to that the fact that we from time to time elect evolution deniers to our state School Board, and I have no time for anything but online apologies
