Avatar again, this time with meta

Wait a minute... you mean my little bratty fandom FINALLY got put on fandom_wank?

Damn.

Now they're going to expect people to take the "crazy" label after their name seriously.

Heh... that wank may have been put on FW recently, but it's about a month old. I spotted it back then when I was planning to help out with the AtLA pages over at Wikipedia.

Changed my mind about helping out.

Huh. They're treating it like it's new content, though most of the fandom_wank comments are about the zutara reaction to the finale, which has nothing to do with the wank in question.

Yup. My respect for FW is pretty low at the moment. I wanted to point out that the Wikipedia mess didn't only have 'a couple of days' behind it, but I chickened out. I've never posted over at FW; I don't want to ever.

As for the Zutara reaction to the finale, the poster just tacked it on. I suppose there's some good in that. Two consecutive AtLA-related entries on FW would have been a worser outcome. Not to mention had the poster made two separate posts - the link to the KZ LJ com would be a LOT more obvious.

Ah, same here. They are witty and sometimes I find myself checking on the website just for the great snark, but I find myself liking their attitudes less with each comment I read. And it just hit rock bottom after Steve Irwin's death. They snarked a dead man, complete with graphics and 'didn't know him, why should I care' between every other line. I understand that they don't have to mourn him, but at least respect the dead and his wife and kids, you know...?

In response to the wank, I don't really see the big deal, but this might be because I've seen more passionate stupidity on the fanfiction.net boards (i.e., this convoluted "Zutara fan = Nazi" comparison that raised hell). And the thought just occurred to me; why doesn't anyone ever report ff.net board wank? I can't think of a more batshit-tolerant place.
