Uber-bitchiness
Dec. 10th, 2002 01:02 pmAnd much whining follow
What is this insane need I have to alienate people I don't even know?
I just said "If an OFC's sole purpose is to sleep with a canon character, she's a Mary Sue." This is a given in fandom.
What made me respond to the first chicklet who got her feelings hurt?
My trademark snarkiness pissed off a lot of people and they went on the attack.
I did try not to be personal. Yeesh, you think they took the "heterosexist" crack to heart?
Maybe it was the "gleeful sadistic fun" description of skewering really bad writers. I'll do it mentally, mocking their behavior only in my head and maybe in a parody piece. In public, I'm a two-faced bitch and say "Maybe a beta reader could help you out. Your characterization seems a little weak."
Or maybe it was the "Mary Sue is a PHASE. You move on and start creating real characters."
Nope, heterosexist Mary Sues, and damn proud of it. I thought I'd wandered into Temple Bards for a minute.
I know: don't start nothin', won't be nothin'. I voiced a given. Umbrage was taken. I said my piece. More umbrage was taken. I sat down and let the stuff whiz over my head. More umbrage taken at my silence. Toldja what I know already, don't like repeating myself.
One of these days, Angel, you need to remember when to sit on your hands.
