timepiececlockI just got called a "newbie" on the adult swim board. For some reason, this is really cracking me up.
http://boards.adultswim.com/adultswim/board/message?board.id=6&message.id=1033681&jump=true
(near the bottom of page 1-- the only page I think)
See, I've lurked around the AS messageboard for about a year now, but I really only go into threads about series that I like, and I don't talk all that often, so my post count is only like a hundred forty-something. But best as I can figure, being called a "newbie" is the height of insultdom in ASmessageboard-verse. (side bar: I personally could care less about being known as a newbie even in those times when I am new, because I don't advertise myself as such, and frequently I have great disdain for that labelling system as a whole-- who cares if someone is new to a fandom or not? Most people could be new and you'd never no it anyway so the distinction is pointless. Also, don't waste my time with pointless shit if it's not funny. /end side bar) It never actually happened to me when I *was* new though, so it's kinda cracking me up.
Although I admit there's a small amount of indignation, cause someone said "you tell that newbie!" to someone else who had been debating me on the somewhat finer points of why the Sin characters are called what they are called in FMA, congratulating him on his winning arguement. I don't have a problem with the name-calling, but with the assumption that he "told" me. I *won* that arguement. He lost, I won, cause I had the better argument and(though of course this isn't as important) I got the last word. Why does he get congratulations?
It's not right. I won that one dammit. It was a clear victory for Team Shaka Who Has Better Sentence Structure and Grammar and More Sound Reasoning Than The Rest Of You, You 10-15-Year-Olds.
::sigh:: I have a stupid fandom. It's sad but true. I really hope that once the people who watch Full Metal Alchemist on Cartoon Network actually start writing fanfiction, we don't get all the stupid people there too. I'm hoping for more the CB fandom range-- a lot of badfic but also a considerable amount of good fic mixed in between. I don't want FMA to turn into another Fruits Basket fandom, where the greatest mystery on the internet is how such an intelligent series has the stupidest fanfiction writers I have *ever* come across (EVER, in all television, film, book, or anime fandoms), on a 134:1 basis, approximately.

Date: 2004-11-17 08:11 am (UTC)I'm so glad that I wasn't the only one feeling that way regarding the layout. If I can't read it properly, it turns me away from it. Perhaps if they used a lighter background to where you can read the posts, it'd be a different story.
