One less LJ to read....

Just catching up on toft (toft_froggy on LJ) who thought it'd be oh so amusing to waste time by posting absolutely hilariously witty fake requests to a fic-finding comm.

Umm. Yeah. Not seeing the funny.

I smiled when I defriended her, though...does that count?

I mean, yes, sometimes the requests in fic-finder comms make my eyebrows shoot up because people are asking for the kind of fics I'd run a mile to AVOID reading. I can also see the funny in making some up and posting them in your own LJ as examples of how weird things can get and people saying, hey, I've read that!, but actually posting them to a real comm and getting people, kind people, to run around looking for them while you smirk to yourself and then wet your knickers laughing when it turns out there really are fics that fit your spoofed criteria?

God, it's this kind of elitist arrogance that makes my lip curl. I loathe humor that hurts people. It seems a contradiction in terms.

Fandom is a place where people are endlessly helpful. Abusing that for a laugh, just...no.

I'm also disgusted by the pages of comments with people applauding her for her actions. I guess they think if they laugh too they're safe from being laughed AT?

Whatever.

In some ways I feel her apology has made me feel worse about her because she really doesn't seem to get why people are hurt, and I'm getting too old to willingly deal with the people whose EQs are so much less than their IQs. At least she does get that she's caused hurt. Maybe the why will percolate in eventually.

She's clueless but can she really be that dim as to think her admission wouldn't cause wank? I doubt it :;is cynical::
