(Circa 2022 there have been rumours going around that FFnet will be meeting its final days. I cannot say I am surprised: the site has seen a marked decline and most of the better quality fics are on AO3. What you read here is mostly for archival purposes; I am, in fact, still around, but spend more time elsewhere. If, and when, the site does meet its last dying breaths I cannot say my time here was wasted. It was fun, but you gotta adapt to keep up with the times. Enjoy reading - I still am!)
Greetings. I am the Fox Familiar, reviewer extraordinaire and wanderer. You may be here because I left one of my patented multi-chapter reviewers that described what was wrong with your story in 1400 words or less. Or you came here from the tumblrs about me, made during the 2013-2014 years. Or you just might be curious. By now if you're wondering, why am I still here I'll tell you: I read for pleasure, and I review for a hobby. This isn't a career for me, nor is your writing one for you. I spend my time reading your work, and my review style allows me to point out when, where, and why you went wrong. If there is a point in your story where I physically cannot continue, my brain will yell 'Stop!' and I'll tell you where I stopped. My answer to those who tell me 'you're wasting your time' is the following: if you can spend hours upon hours, and days upon days writing your 100,000 - 200,000 word fics, then I can spend hours reading them and reviewing them. You do not get to decide what cannot be said just because you are at the helm of your own keyboard, especially when you are the types to decry censorship yourselves.
I will always be honest with my reviews. I have never been fond of, and still am not, of sugarcoating. If you decide that you don't like what I have to say, maybe spending all that time begging for attention isn't for you. If it's public, it's open to the public's commentary. Since my review style changed in 2014, I spend more time reading your works and more time picking out things wrong with it. I believe it has been so successful that my hate mail rate dropped to near zero (with only the few coming in complaining about the length of my reviews), because the authors simply didn't know what to do with it. On AO3, authors change their story settings to moderate reviews (because we can't have an open review system in a safe space), or close them to users only. I've never been apologetic over what I have done; the only thing I regret, if at all, is that my reviews pre-2014 were not thorough enough. I understand that there's really no stopping the tide and it's akin to tossing a bucket of water on a raging forest fire, but I will be content if someone was honest to a horrible author writing a horrible story. The time would have been worth it.
I still enjoy reading and reviewing for fun. The fandoms I frequent are: Dishonored, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, Transformers, Band of Brothers, King Arthur, The Tudors, BioShock, Game of Thrones, and others. More specific reviews in regards to AO3 works will be posted on my blog, as well as reviews on published novels. Expansion is good, and sometimes it's better to move on to greener pastures.
However, why am I still here will be answered next. I have always noticed a trend with fanfic writers in their attempt to be 'edgy', or attempt to defy what they think is conservative culture in their next of the woods. It has been confirmed by multiple sources, one of which is AO3 and the other 'Transformative fanworks'. I'm not saying this to be spiteful. Observe.
On Fanlore, there is an article on 'affirmative culture', written by largely straight white males who love their fandom and just want to enjoy it, and 'transformative culture', written by queer people and women which seeks to undermine fan culture and cultural norms. Think I'm making this up? Have a look for yourselves: h t t p s : // fanlore . org / wiki / Transformational _ Fandom
You wanted to write fanfiction for fun? Think again. Thought the OTW was going to protect you from corporations and entities that prohibit fanfilms and other fan-related works from legal troubles? Think again. The Organization of Transformative Works, is dedicated to 'fan advocacy' and fighting copyright laws. With the latter, it's a noble fight considering directives like Article 13 severely limiting creative freedom. With the former, consider the article I posted above. Does it have anything to do with fandom or fans fighting oppressive copyright laws, or is it about identity and politics?
Think I'm making this up still? Take a look at the 'peer-reviewed' articles offered. h t t p s : / /journal . transformativeworks . org / index . php / twc / issue / view / 55

You want to play politics? So will I. Someone has to be a Tucker Carlson.
My position on fandom and fanfic writing is that you the author, have limited, if any, rights. If you remember the Anne Rice days you know she was ready with libel. As these are transformative works, you are safe from legal issues. My positions have also changed after seeing more fandom discourse and the absolute dogshit opinions I've seen. There has been a markedly politicial growth with fanfics, and people tend to live out their identity vicariously through them. Fewer do any research at all, so the work truly does take on an 'original' life of its own. People, do your research. It isn't hard. Canon may have issues but getting the fundamentals wrong just means you are lazy. Fanfic is, at its core, fiction. Do not try to lecture anyone about your political or social mores, because I've seen the 'discourse'. Write what you want. I'm just there to observe, good or bad.
I will absolutely make exceptions for AUs provided they are written well and even expand upon the lore. S8 of Game of Thrones is a perfect example. Rewrite it all you want. But if you deliberately change the canon into something completely unrecognizable, you're better off creating your own work.
My opinions on AO3 have changed after using it for some time. I do like how you can post adult content, art, and videos and it's on a secure server. However, unlike sites like Odysee, there's no decentralization for commenting. It' heavily moderated, and if the author so chooses, comments can be shut off entirely or frozen. Even solid constructive criticism with no insults directed at the author can earn you a report. This is not an attitude that should be promoted, even when the quality of fics on AO3 is better due to beta readers.
As for fandom discourse: I've seen enough of it to hate shippers and antis alike, and both are cannibalistic hypocrites. If you dislike something, lay it out with arguments and facts. They may not like it, but your goal is to convince fence sitters. The doxxing, death threats, and politicization of the very fictional pixels folks insist cannot influence reality is...charming, to say the least. Some of us are simply done with your degenerate, toxic attitudes. And many of you are not kids anymore, but young adults or young professionals (replete with the pronouns).
To some fans, the idea of receiving criticism lies on consent only. That's right: they have to consent to your criticism, because you aren't worthy enough, pleb. Have yet another example:
some people seem to be confused when I say I don’t want unsolicited criticism from strangers on my fanfiction. I believe that they believe, with their whole little confused hearts, that I am saying I don’t want any criticism at all, ever.
That’s not true. I love crit,when I ask for it, from people whose knowledge and abilities I’ve vetted and trust.And the same goes for LOTS of authors!
We just don’t want YOUR random crit, when we haven’t asked you for it and have no idea what qualifies you to give that crit.
And, pure and simple here, if you give it to us anyway without obtaining our consent, you’re being an asshole. Your intentions do not matter.
Any argument to the contrary isn’t going to change my mind. I’m not going to suddenly See The Light and decide ah yes, assholes SHOULD be allowed to step on my toes, or the toes of my fellow writers, to make themselves feel superior or like they are helping when they are actually damaging us
arguing is just going to expose you as an ass that thinks you should be allowed to hurt us despite the boundary we’ve clearly drawn.
Fanfiction is not your safe space, and neither is the Internet. The minute you want to craft speech codes and safe spaces speaks less of your ability to grow as an author than of your demands of social control. You wanted to defy society and give the middle finger to social mores, yet turn around and do the exact same thing as the police state you decry. You want to control what people say and react to you by throwing up a veneer of a 'safe space', and only want pats on the back for praise that is completely unwarranted. This attitude is extremely callous. If I need to 'ask your consent' to leave a review on a public website, well then you need to ask mine if I even wanted to read your work (but ah! there comes that 'don't like don't read' meme).
On fandom policing:
I really, really hate fandom policing. I hated it when I was twelve and was so afraid to read slash because OMG DICKS TOUCHING WHAT and I hated it when I was fifteen and was smuggling the yaois under my mattress so I would always have a supply of top notch garbage to read, and I am 24 and I hate it now.
Here is the thing: YOU CONTROL what you take in. I am not responsible for your consumption of Hydra Trash party noncon, I am not responsible for your consumption of pegging smut, and I am not responsible for your consumption of fluffy sickfic. I am not responsible for you consuming anything.
I might be responsible for writing that noncon or pegging or sickfic, but I did not make you read it. I did not hand it to you, I did not give it to you. I created it, and made it available for those who want to enjoy.
If you don’t like it, if you don’t want it, then you don’t have to read it.
That choice made, the choice not to consume a type of fic or art, also means you don’t get to drag the person who wrote it.
That is a damn slippery slope.
h t t p s :// the-pen-pot . / post / 185513657125 / fandom-policing
You wrote that non-con pegging fic and posted it on a public site? Well then if it's in my fandom I am going to read it. If you can spend all that time venting your twisted fantasies for the pleasure of others, I have every right to objectively review it and tell you that your rape fantasies say a lot more about you than it does about me. Once again, this is not a safe space. You only want it to be one to excuse your rape apologism* and portray your homosexual sex abuse fics as art. I'm not going the book burning route with you, because that's not how you kill an idea. I'll confront it head on, and I will tell you; I will pop that bubble of yours.
The more you craft a safe space, the more hostile and toxic you make your environment. You're just pissed off someone told you 'no' for once in your life.
I don't actually mind reading rape in stories. The objections I have are listed below.
(Sidenote: If you want a paper on the legal issue, here's one: h t t p s : // web . archive . org / web / 20120408214026 / h t t p : / / www . kentlaw . edu / perritt / courses / seminar / papers / Susan . pdf)
Here's a quaint list of things I've found/noticed over the years. Call them cliches, call them tropes, call them the things TVTropes left out.
1. Cliched stories. Self explanatory, they can be anything from huge magnum opuses based on ridiculous plots with ridiculous characters or literal nothingburgers. Make use of that as you will. Cliched terms in writing can be used well as they have become part of the culture, but make sure to spice them up. Don't be afraid to use your style.
2. Slash. Ah, the most controversial thing I've ever declared. In 2011 I announced my break and my opposition to this writing style, and it was like the MOAB had been dropped on these peoples' homes. I was considered a bigger homophobe than the Westboro Baptist Church. My opposition to it isn't due to 'homophobia', but just due to behaviour. I follow no denomination and was not informed by religious ministers. My attitudes and views arose out of looking down the rabbit hole. People insist to this day there are no differences and in many cases confirm 'homophobic' tropes like sexual assault, domestic violence, and narcissistic pathological behaviour. Nice going, ladies.
Many have wondered if I'm not a closeted homophobe myself due to how much of it I read, but my answer to that is: if I am, guess that means you are just as homophobic for hating me. It's not 2012 anymore and the 'LGB' has been usurped by other identities. (As of 2022, I can say that there has been marked improvement in how these stories are written, in that EVERYONE has a bottle of lube somewhere vs everyone going in all raw no rubber. So good job there. But the RPF stuff is weird, man.)
Even then, it isn't enough. Slash isn't good for gay people, even when it is written by gay people, because of the following:
"There's often a character in slash who is not just being penetrated, is not just on the bottom in BDSM, but is also the one whose emotional subjectivity is centered, who is the author's favourite, and who is probably the whole rest of the fandom's favourite too. I think this has less to do with femininity than with woobiehood.
Most woobies are total pillow queens. They're not getting penetrated because penetrated = girl; they're getting penetrated because they're the queen of the universe who deserves to have their sexual needs catered to by an emotional support boyfriend. Non-sexual hurt/comfort can be like this too: some writers prefer to depict things as more balanced, and a few writers make their favourite one doing the caretaking, but most people like their favorite one doing the caretaking, but most people like their fave to be the recipient. That's the whole point of the fantasy, and it's a fantasy directly counter to how women are socialized to always put others first and never think of ourselves.
The reason this fantasy does not work for me (in its extreme form anyway) is first that I’m a very toppy person in real life and second that I have so much trauma related to being expected to support others that even the fantasy of being catered to just makes me identify with the supportive significant other and not the woobie. It’s nightmare fuel. The fic I like isn’t any more realistic or moral; it just spends far more time showing that the needy bottom character is selfish and should pay more attention to their top’s emotional needs."
What is the motivation for writing slash, you might ask? I'll drop yet another paper. h t t p : //queergeektheory . org/docs/Lothian _ BendingGender . pdf
Fan fiction-writing communities have historically been made up overwhelmingly of women (who tend to be mainly white, middle-class and straight or bisexual, though significant and vocal minorities of otherwise identified fans exist); it is scarcely surprising, then, that questions of gender presentation, representation, and equality are central to fan fiction and discussions.
(...) Male/ male slash explores sexual dynamics via crossgender identification, placing two often highly masculine men in romantic relations to portray love that eludes the hierarchies often inscribed in heterosexual relationships. Lamb and Veith (1986), in fact, suggest that slash’s love between male protagonists explores relationships with a gender equality impossible in heterosexual pairings. Classic slash narratives are closely aligned with the feminine genre of romance, and frequently present sexual relationships as idealized emotional and spiritual partnerships.
(...) The romance plot has often been criticized as a patriarchal structure (Modleski 1980); when slash fans take it up, it can be difficult to see where texts criticize patriarchal structures and where they reinscribe them. In A Female Thing, romance structures of male superiority can be seen in various scenes. John’s pregnancy especially becomes indicative of the heteronormative desires informing much slash fan fiction, which retains romance tropes’ underlying sentiment of true love and devotion transcending all external rules.
Get it, yet? Writing slash 'smashes' the patriarchy, because women don't like their bodies being sexualized, even when said gay or slashed characters denigrate women and use them as incubators for their kids (see modern day surrogacy issues and why most feminists are silent on it). If you could get through that post-modern, queer theory drivel (I suggest looking up Derrick Jensen and what he had to say about that), the conclusion is clear: slash is done for political reasons. Despite mainstream books featuring same-sex relationships, slash fiction is a strictly transformative work that will dismantle the patriarchy and free women.
Just don't mention those CDC statistics or spousal abuse rates, you bigot. Don't mention how female characters are ALWAYS background characters in slash stories - if they even exist.
3. Self insert stories. Admittedly I actually like them, especially if they're written well. Assassin's Creed time-travel fics are a special favourite of mine. As of 2022, Reader Inserts on AO3 have gotten remarkably better in quality so they are a favourite. Back in 2012, though, they were absolutely garbage.
4. Porn. Now wait a minute...don't you have story favourites with sex in them, TFF? Why yes, I do. I'm not a Puritan, but I'm no sexual libertine either. Positive portrayals of healthy sexuality in which the characters honestly care for and love each other is always a pleasure to read. Porn, on the other hand, is completely different and serves a different purpose. This isn't your dad's nude magazines where pictures of ta-tas were considered risque. This is a world where Bella Knox was forced to eat her own vomit out of a dogfood bowl after being choked by a penis, discussed in detail in the documentary Hot Girls Wanted. It has less to do with sex than it has to do with sexual destruction. It is meant to degrade, defile, and devour. You are not breaking any boundaries by writing your Stucky fic or your transformative essay on how it deconstructs cultural norms. You are simply too classy to join the ranks of PornHub. At least the camgirls there are honest about what they do.
My opinions can and will change over time. If you wholly admit your Porn/What Plot is just that, I'll maybe have a read and move on. But there are some things out there that is just plain weird, or bizarre, so opinions on it will differ.
In 2012, there was a purge on FFnet that includes routing out scores of child pornography. These authors flocked to Tumblr and AO3 to talk about the benefits of MAPs (Virtuous Paedophiles, if you want a nicer word) before Tumblr purged its porn later. You gotta love tumblr: a haven for social justice, yet it was porn that brought in the money. This goes back to the fans who think they were breaking the system by drawing racy gay porn, yet end up joining yet another arm of the billion-dollar porn industry. For tumblr's reaction, see here:
5. Authors who really aren't that great, with stories that aren't that great, but are the most vocal about how they're unworthy of criticism. Yeah, OK, bud.
6. Abuse stories. Look, there's only so much a person can take, and aren't you the same ones who decry domestic violence?
7. Rape stories. Another big peeve of mine. What's amusing above all else is that the bulk of these stories are written by feminists who complain about how women's sexuality is held back; how women don't have a choice; how we live in a rape culture. Have another example of the tumblr I linked above:
"A lot of slash writers are exploring feelings of victimization. Another big chunk of us explore things like rape fantasies from the bottom: maybe we have and maybe we haven’t experienced assault in real life, but for all of us, having that kind of rape fantasy brings up questions of whether we’re asking for it, whether it’s okay to be into that kind of thing, whether it means something. Another chunk of us are exploring a different kind of “bad” thoughts: feelings of aggression, violence, dominance. In my own work, I’m interested in sadists and how they come to terms with their desires, but I think slash is also often a way to explore any sort of violent, dark feeling, not just rape fantasies from the top. Society tells us women aren’t allowed to have dark thoughts–hell, that we’re not capable of impulses that dark. Sometimes, it’s easier to write even a relatively banal action story about a male action hero because he, in canon, is allowed to have the feelings and impulses that interest the writer."

Imagine that. Women who complain the loudest about 'Asking For It' and rape culture, and toxic masculinity, have no issue writing it themselves. It is doubly so for slash writers, considering that everything that happens there in the name of 'love' would be considered a Central Park Five case if the sexes were reversed. For people who care oh-so-much about consent, there sure isn't much consent or consensual relationships on AO3 and elsewhere.
8. "You can't criticize me. Look at my fanbase! I have more views than you!" Used to call 'em toxic women. They still are, what with that attitude. Also, no one is immune from it (even me) so roll with the punches as you can.
9. Canon is bastardized/characters are OOC. Look, it's not that hard. You aren't getting paid for this, it's your JOB to make sure you get it right. If not that, a sense of public duty. You spent hours and days of your life following your fandom, and you can't get basic details right? Get the Hell outta here. Characters OOC? Male characters totally cucked? Look no further than Mirror and Image's AC Unity Rewrite. How they butchered my poor boy...
If canon itself is a PoS, then I will absolutely accept re-writes. There is no better example than Game of Thrones, and the fandom there is VERY mature on all the points I listed above. You'll find some of the best re-writes and character interpretations in that fandom.
However. Research helps. A lot. This is something so unique that there have to be Tumblr/Twitter posts made on it.
10. Picked a self-help blog? I got my diversity checklist right here.
11. I don't care if you have a college or university degree. If you can't even get basic facts right or basic biology right, I guess that's $60,000 out the window.
12. Plagiarism? Bye bye.
13. Ask for a review? Don't like your review? Pull out the tired 'don't like don't read'? Too bad! It's public, it's for the public to comment on. Maybe on AO3 and other websites you can delete reviews you dislike, but you'll still see them for a short time.
14. I'm not Snopes, but if I catch you playing fast and loose with the facts, you're getting a visit.
15. Snarky? Think you're the best? I'll match you with sardonic wit and sarcasm. By all means...get snarkier.
16. Disliking Chick-Lit despite following its exact formula. Imagine having that kind of poor self-awareness.
17. The Smeyer/E.L James rule: the more you say you are not like these authors, the more likely you write just like them. You may condemn these authors for their poor work, but you cannot claim a moral and skill high ground when the topics and prose you write with exemplify poor intelligence. The Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments, and Divergent series are badly written and researched, but that doesn't stop their audience from buying their works and seeing the films. Deep down, all authors seek a form of fame, and just because your story has more than a thousand reviews or a million words, doesn't make it good.
18. Stories that should be 100,000 words long end up thrice or ten times the length. If it takes you an entire chapter (or three as I have seen) to convey a single point, then you're writing nonsense, not content. A paragraph should not not form an idea, it should form a setting, date and time, and details. Every word must have a purpose. If you can't do that, you are taking a 'Looks-at-me' stance, in which you think word count makes the author.
A perfect example of this is the author Ninepen. I reviewed her story in 2016. It took her 40,000 words for Jane Foster to get to one location. It is now over 1.5 million words. There is a decent length to fanfics, and there is writing fanfics so long they are longer than all the religious texts in the world. Write to make the words count, not the word count.
19. 'I'm a minority! You can't criticize me!' - Well depending on where you are/where you came from in the world, you probably aren't a numerical minority. If you want to play the gay/trans card, I'll treat you fairly. Your story still gets the acetylene torch, though.
So, here we are again. Why am I still here? Why waste my time after all these years? Well, because it's fun to be in fandom, and it's sad to see it get replaced - er, 'transformed' - by people who clearly have identity politics in mind. It's less about transforming the work to produce a cultural legacy that speaks to everyone, to ones that suit 'women, queer people and marginalized people'. Ah, but don't we say, 'Make your own stories if you're unhappy with the ones given to you?' So we do. But it's still not enough. You cannot please cultural parasites, because they have no real love for culture. Like how Tumblr survived on pornographic content, they cried foul when the content was removed while still believing they were making a difference.
Me? Someone has to be honest. Someone has to point out the hypocrisy. A useless brigade, you may say, but I do it anyways in the hopes someone else will understand. I've had 6-60 year olds tell me how I'm the 'worst person ever', for having standards. In some circles of fandom I'd be considered a 'Puritan', even though I am of the belief that to eliminate bad ideas or cultural rot you must confront them head on. Book burnings didn't kill the ideas; they simply went underground. Alfred Kinsey's work was the pinnacle of sex research until Judith Reisman looked at his data and found out what he was doing. Margaret Mead was the symbol and progenitor of the 'sexually free' non-European peoples until someone who spent more time with Samoans proved her wrong.
Speaking of which, the lack of self awareness among fans is very telling. There was an Assassin's Creed fic with the author saying how much she hated the fetishization (sic) of Native Americans by Europeans. How did she amend this? By having a Native American get the Trail of Tears experience...from two white Europeans, a Frenchman and an Englishman both, up the glory hole. Another crafted a Dragon Age story work that had Malik marry Altair at the ripe old age of ten (h t t p s : // archiveofourown . org / works / 2600771 / chapters / 6340676 # workskin).
Yet another wanted to 'fix the issues' of Assassin's Creed Unity...by having a Zelda Mary Sue completely cuck the main character of the game while also gearing him up for a Pride Parade (h t t p s : / / archiveofourown . org / works / 20365285 / chapters / 48293704). Earlier I mentioned 'Mirror and Image', and that's self explanatory. (I ended up reading this whole thing, and yes, it was as bad as it was when it first started.)
Or, consider the countless tumblr blogs dedicated to pointing out the lack of women's choice and rape culture...by writing rape fantasies and having characters brutalized for fun. The classic 'it's not abuse or rape if we're the ones writing it, because we're in control.' Sure. Some rape culture you got there.
Here's yet another example of the extremism, look no further than to Fierce Awakening, who wrote the following:
I don’t mind Megatron being the main antagonist of something, and I think stories where the main antagonist is pure evil can be written well. I don’t mind reading Megatron raping other characters (hell, I’ve written it myself!) But when Megatron is a marauding rape-beast and everyone else is a character, I cringe.
Yup. That rape culture...
Oh, one more thing: the tumblr based on me is not run by me. It was started by a tumblr user catbountry, who disliked me so much to make a KiwiFarms thread dedicated to me circa 2015. I was considered an 'artcow', replete with the snark, even when she and I shared many views - as do most users there. I am not/was not offended by my thread, and in fact I will defend its right to exist. My reviews pre 2015 were janky and all over the place, and now they are much more structured (and social mores have changed as well, and I do find myself defending same sex relationships more in the gender ideology wars. Imagine that.) Reviewing is important, and is as important as fanfic writing itself. After all, if you can get a peer-reviewed article posted on the special deconstruction of fandom in the name of lesbian feelings, well then I can come along and tell you how stupid that is.

Listen. Eight words, eight spaces, three commas with a period: blah, blah, blah, shut up and grow up. I can why see you have nothing better to do than go around and flame and hate other people's work all because you dislike/loathe incest and such. This doesn't make me a 'sick *' and I could care less if this is any of your concern.
Firstly, my story is however I want to write it. There are more than a million of yaoi stories in this world because it's popular along with others. Gay, straight, bi, and so on. It doesn't matter nor for the fact that the three are related. So what? If I want Altair, Ezio, and Desmond to be gay and OOC, then it's my choice and your concerns are neither desired nor required. And whoever calls people these so called 'fanfags' are the ones who haven't been taught or disciplined enough to come up with some better vocabulary. It's a) not a word, b) soooo cliche, and c) is a poorly describable word to use just like 'fanwhoring', which ALSO isn't a word. Mainly because it's created by the dumbest, most inexperienced person in world: you! :D
You obviously sound like a babbling child...

1. I actually do know quite a bit about history and the traditional Catholicism's view on homosexuality. I do know that it is punishable by death. However, that didn't stop some men and women for committing it. As in this instance of FICTION. Oh lawdy god fiction! Someone stop the presses if someone takes a historical character and one from a game and writes a situation that probably didn't but could've possibly happened. OH DEAR GOD.
2. It's horrible for both genders to get raped. It's horrible for anyone to get raped. It's not okay between two men or two women or a man to a woman or a woman to a man. It's not funny, it's not sexy, etc. This is just how the story happened to evolve. I was given a prompt by a Tumblr User and I went with it. There's simply no way for Cesare and Ezio to have had sex anyways, so I wrote this, no matter how terribly graphic is is.
3. There is an outcry about homosexual rape in prisons. And syphilis is contracted every day by both sexes, so you have no point in mentioning that. (Other than Cesare contracted it. Ooooh STD.)
4. I've had quite a lot of sexual experience with both men and woman. I've had both anal and vaginal sex and no anal fissures here! Or in most of the gay men I've talked to. (Maybe one, and that was from him going to the doctor for something else entirely) People didn't have condoms and I didn't use one, obviously.
5. This comment is just rude, thank you very much. I'm not a sick f*ck. I also skimmed your profile (to see what kind of stupid person I'm talking to), and I'd like to say that you obviously don't know how varied people can be. Rape, Necrophilia, Pedophilia, etc, I have to agree with you about. But BDSM? Homosexuality?
BDSM can be absolutely beautiful in many ways. It's about submitting and dominating. It's about testing just how far the person can go in the threshold of pain (if the couple is using the SM part of BDSM) and just how much they can torment them to almost orgasm and how many times. It's a play between two people, trust and mostly love. Now, the people that do it commercially? The same thing. It's consenting adults.
Homosexuality. Alright. Some people like different things. It's like if someone asked me if I liked cake or pie. I'd say the whole damn desert bar because I do love all genders. (Although I'm more gender blind, seeing as I'm Pansexual, thanks.) I implore it of you to stop pushing your opinions on other people in a bullying fashion. Especially about sexuality and such.
Oh, and the suicide thing? Alright. That's your opinion. But as a human race, we're naturally survivors. It's hard to drown ourselves and it's hard to starve ourselves. Everyone is attempting to live on this Earth. So, yes, it means a lot whenever someone commits suicide . When someone is absolutely that low in their life that they decide to take their life. No matter what they've gone through in their life. A lot of people are chronically depressed and they simply can't help it. I know, because I've struggled with it and I can sometimes over come it. I just wanted to say that some of your opinions are absolutely disgusting and you need to educate yourself before you shittily attempt to educate others.
Thank you and I won't respond to anything else you try to send me. Because you're a rude and disgusting person.

14-year-old paedophile - Likely in his twenties now. Argued that pederasty was perfectly normal and to criticize it was homophobia. Ergo: what gay men do behind closed doors need not be brought up.
Needs some trenches - got upset after I reviewed a rule-breaker. Eventually called me a racist. Hard to believe this one's a guy.
Hi, I'm Shadowsilv3r, but of course you already know that from under the link to this message. Anyway, I reviewed a terrible story you just recently reviewed as well called 'Dishonored remake' and I must admit that I was greatly confused with the way you insulted someone that CLEARLY admitted to being a first time writer.
So I took a look at your extensive profile page and discovered that while you and I share the same opinion of gay/lesbian, bestiality, necrophilia, ect. to a point (I actually tolerate gays/lesbians as long as they understand I'm not gay) I however can not put up with the idea in your head that your opinion is superior to others just because their opinions grossed you out.
You state clearly in a repeated fashion that it is your opinion when you review stories, but then you go out of your way to insult them by calling them sick s, idiots, and/or morons which suggest that you think of their opinions as garbage for simply insulting them, and place your opinion as fact, or at least better then theirs comparatively.
It is their opinion, it is not fact, nor is yours, and nether is better, what I got from reading your profile page suggest that you are an intolerant man/woman that needs to loosen up a lot. yes, some people are going to post terrible stories, yes people are going post yaoi and yuri and poorly written stories (Not everyone can write Shakespeare) and there is nothing that will stop it. But that doesn't mean you can just go and insult and tell them to drink rat poison just because you hate what they put up, negative does not mean insulting. You're not providing hard truths to people, you're just flaming for the sake of flaming.
I expect a response from you. Note that I intend no argument, and if it turns that way it will be on your behalf for I want this to be civil, gross stories or no, there are a bunch of nice people on this community of fanfic writers if you know where to look, and your flaming only degrades it.
Good day.
Retards should stop pretending to be smart.
If you actually read my profile, you'd find that I am in fact a woman.
First of all, you post a great contradiction of yourself. You state that it is not fine for me to express my free will as it is rude, yet here you are, engaging in the same conduct, believing that, somehow, you can make me change my opinion.
Second, I do not care if it is someone's first time writing or not. They violated the rules by posting a non-story, and by defending it you are defending rule-breakers, and therefore chaos. Well done.
"Your opinion is superior to others...because you get grossed out" - Why, I do admit I am superior to others because I am. And frankly, hardly any of my opinions are just sole opinions - they are based on facts and reason. If you can't handle that, you therefore can't handle reality or contradictory statements, and that makes you a spineless coward that flees in the face of evidence.
Third, you keep making assumptions - which you tell me not to do - about me based on my profile. You're not practicing what you're preaching.
Fourth, give me an example of these "bunch of nice people". These "nice people" are brats that write mediocre and get nothing but ass-pats. By saying that you don't like me flaming, you are therefore suppressing truth and allowing these people to live in bubbles. Essentially, you don't like it when someone says something nasty. Well, based on your scorching rhetoric, I am not surprised.
Your message has no merit and you really didn't prove anything.
"Negative does not mean insulting" - Okay, I'll just use sugar and spice and kiss ass. Will that work for you?
"Your opinion is fact" - You seem to have a hard time telling the difference between the two. I back up my arguments with facts, then I form opinions. It should never be the other way around, as you have done here.
"I agree with you on gays...I tolerate them" - So you admit that you don't support them yet tolerate them. Oh, child, where did you get your education? Obviously you don't know basic anatomy or reality. You tolerate something inhuman, anti-family, and support extinction. As such, I am not surprised why you are a complete f/ucking retard that can't prove anything which she says.
You're "confused" by my review yet you wrote this PM, showing that you are not confused. Obviously you did not read the rules, which the story was in direct violation of - because you're that f/ucking stupid - and jumped to someone's defense - someone you don't even know. You're defending strangers based on a false assumption. Bravo, kiddo.
In the end, you've shown your lack of intellect. You ask me to be nicer and say there are nice people on this site (without naming any) and support yet don't support homosexuals. Kid, you're full of circular logic.
Will I be nicer? no. Can't take the heat? Get out. Don't say you advocate freedom of speech when you can't handle it.
Now shut the fuck up and get back to fangirling, retard.
Too bad we don't live in a perfect world, else they'd be in the trenches. What a pussy.
I can't handle trolls - When you try too hard.
Subtle male rape - The rape loving author and the rape - defender Words of rape:
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8984911/
I like your intentions, and would probably find myself a fan of you in another case. But the sheer self-righteous, condescending, preachy vitriol you rail out spoiled that for me.
"No Indication that either are gay."
Allow me to present my notion that that is the weakest such argument I have ever heard. Yes, there have been no "Hints" or other insinuations of their homosexuality. There are also no readily apparent indications that people in Dishonored give live birth, and that Emily did not hatch a baby from a bright purple egg that Jessamine erupted out. Logic would have us believe that they would NOT lay eggs, but hopefully you can see my point. When there are cases like...Say, flat out-stated straight, married, mega-catholics suddenly tossing around in mad drug fueled orgies with other men, your point makes sense. But here, we know next to nothing about Corvo or Martin.
Oh sure, we see that he's intensely loyal, and an incredible fighter and assassin. But what about his personality? What is the culture of Serkonos like, and what was his childhood like? We've already seen that nobles in Dishonored can be massive sexual deviants; why does homosexuality suddenly become stricken utterly from the realm of possibility? I can see Corvo largely giving up intimacy in order to better do his duty, but your assertation that Homosexuality is impossible is just as fallacious as you accuse this story to be. (Nope.) Martin we know even less about. Geoff Curnow had a liason with a dude, so we know that the concept exists in their universe. Point is, there may be no indications that either were gay, (If you say there are no indications, it means there are none. Self-defeatism.) but there aren't any saying that they weren't either. As far as suppositions about this thing go (and I've seen a LOT of bad ones), this one stands in my book. Unless you can find in-game lore or word of God that they were both straight.
Secondly, you are letting your bias against homosexuality color your statement. I may not be gay myself, but I sure as the stones of Calvary do not presume to write off another human being's concept of love as an abomination-that, I consider to be the pinnacle of arrogance.(Being truthful is not arrogant. I'm so sorry to burst your bubble.) But that IS your view to hold, just keep your homophobia out of things when you are trying to be logical, eh?
"Maybe" AIDS? Oh look, assuming something without having any evidence of it's existence within the universe...Why does that sound suspiciously just like what you have your hemorrhoids in a knot about? Yes, there probably would be anal tears; I got a paper cut this morning, I didn't exsanguinate in a flooding torrent of my life's liquid. Some people get anal tears when they shit, it isn't an automatic incapacitating wound, especially if they've done it before and have a tolerance to the pain. (LOL: There would be "probably" anal tears...but you're a homophobe. The epidermis is not like the rectum. Immuno-suppressors, bitches.)
Aside from a few vagueities about the personalities of persons, one of which has a mysterious pas that is not elaborated on, and the other we NEVER HEAR SPEAK OR EVER GAIN ANY INSIGHT INTO THE PERSONALITY OF. Where are the inconsistencies to canon? Yes, the sex is awkward in its own way, but:
1) It was late at night
2) If you know anything about the storyline, you know that the next day referred to will be when Corvo takes out the Lord Regent, after which he will be subsequently poisoned by the Loyalists. It was meant to be a one night thing, and from Martin's perspective, it would be the only opportunity. It was made clear that theirs was just a fling, a mutual quickie. Minor anal tearsRat Plague; honestly, how the feth do you consider anal sex more dangerous than swarms of rats carrying a disease that causes you to bleed from your eyes and become a shambling disease ridden sack of meat? (Too afraid to say 'fuck'? More liberal degeneracy. Subtle rape doesn't raise any red flags to this one, because she is desensitized.)
Your primary complaint, that characters are not in "canon" does not stand in my mind. Thus, the only problem here is your vendetta against teh gheyz. The wording wasn't even that flowery! Additionally, it is incredibly rude to believe you retain the omniscient view to cut down a person's motivations to something so crude. And if she did make it for that reason...? Is she stealing profit from Bethesda and Arkane? Is she infringing on copyright law? Is she doing anything that YOU perceive to be morally repulsive?(The original story was not hers. She accuses me of white-knighting yet does it herself.)
You do not write fanfiction yourself, correct? You were a former reader, but are now so filled with indignant rage and revulsion that instead of *cough*simplynotreadingthem*cough* you spend what I can only perceive as a substantial amount of time raeging over them? Wut.
I know where you are coming from, I truly do (well, not the rabid hatred of gays I sense from you). I hate when there are gaps in explanation, when things happen for no reason, when pairings happen for no reason. I even ocassionally write rants quite similar to yours. But the difference between myself and you, is that I would give them insight on how to correct grammar and spelling, and plot inconsistencies as far as I could, instead of screaming that their minds are composed of jiggling boners and dripping lady parts.(She claimed that the work was in canon, despite saying in this message that she doesn't understand it. Grammar means nothing compared to plot and canon. Based on the story, she loves rape.)
No, instead of simply turning the away from these fics, (Don't like/don't read argument. Self-defeatist. If she didn't like my response she shouldn't have read it.)you have styled yourself the intellectual and moral guardian of every work of fiction produced by mankind. GRRM made it clear why he doesn't want fanfiction of his stories, and took the appropriate legal action, so have others for whom the concept simply doesn't sit right. These other franchises? Either they are totally unaware of the stuff, or they are reasonable adult humans that simply aren't bothered by it! Has Bethesda hired you to police the internet for fanfiction that doesn't meet your-I mean, their standards? Has Arkane provided you with a Canon Policy doctrine by which you can judge what is in character, what is not, what is possible? (Appeal to authority fallacy. I love the "holier than thou" liberal attitude. These companies didn't give you permission either, asshat.)
No. No, I don't believe they did.
My only logical conclusion? That you don't actually give all that much care about canon and in character states. (HAHAHA OH WOW. I don't care about canon? But I thought you just said there's no way to stick to canon and that I didn't own the companies! Why are you playing the authority card, now? Imbecile.)Oh yes, you are obviously a learned human to whatever degree, so I am sure that you do genuinely feel upset by these...Oh, what would the word be...Hm, defilements to human work. But that is not the whole picture, no from what I can see.
Instead, you are motivated by pride, I think. All beings of some intellect desire to be right, to have their beliefs stand at the superior validity. Me, a rather humble soul away from the facade of the internet, I openly admit that I recieve a glowing feeling of accomplishment and rush of endorphins after I have crushed what I see as intellectually inferior subhumans; I loved lording over "poor" writers with my crushing walls of text and big words. (I think this is a reference to me.)
I'm afraid I was an internet tough intellectual. Were I to speak to those people I scorned in person, undoubtedly my words would have been much different. A person's writing on the internet cannot provide a full enough picture of their character to base a concise judgement, that I have learned. In the old days, the many could not read or write. Would you deprecate a man from those times based only on his illiteracy? I hope not. (TL;DR be nicer. She's back-pedaling.)
You are too smart-I can tell-to imagine yourself as some kind of white knight, defending the world of literature from fags and heathens. You still get that high, don't you? By declaring all other morals but your own irrelevant and wrong, you stroke your own ego. This is the epitome of egotism and the misdirection of intellect. You could easily step down from this place, but you do not; all for the same reason I felt the need to write this reply: We are addicted to our own voices, slaves to our pride. (Misdirection of intellect? Lol. I'm not the one who denies race and that sexual deviance is destructive. By denying it, she's already a fool.)
I'd not challenge your morals, they are yours to have, and yours alone. But I would urge you to reconsider your method of interaction. You would like to improve the land of writing, then point out flaws in grammar and conventions. Flaming tirades can be a good motivational kick, but really, use them sparingly. The important thing to ask when descending on an author: Do you Intend to Help, or Hurt this person. Look into your motives, and don't get ahead of yourself. (Flaming is good...just don't flame gay stories/stories that I like, you fucking anti-liberal ! She's the type that would sit by and watch a person get abused and not do anything about it. To her, it's OK for men but not OK for women. Flame this .)
"That is the weakest argument I have ever heard. Yes, that are no indications that either are gay. Therefore, they are!" Logic 101: If you do not have the evidence to back up your argument, your theory is wrong. No exceptions. If we don't know the characters' sexuality, what makes you think they're gay? Logical fallacy implying there are no other explanations. My responses have been updated.
TL;DR
Basically you’re trying to defend the indefensible. Let’s take you on point by point.
“You are letting your bias against homosexuality ruin your statement” – I am not biased, that is the truth.
“Has Arcane...given you a policy?” – You’re just upset because I called you out. You take characters that are not yours and making them act in ways they would not act. That is a violation of your creative license to even write fanfiction.
“There’s no live indication that the people of Dishonored give live birth...they lay eggs...” – LMFAO, OH WOW. Holy , that is the best thing I have ever read. No, obviously had you known your canon you’d learn women do get pregnant from men, just like the real world! Humans do not lay eggs. Holy fuck, learn some anatomy.
“How do you consider homosexuality more dangerous than plague” – Well, because it’s seen as normal, for one. No one ever said that we should have campaigns for support of TB.
“Corvo is...Martin is...” – She’s since admitted that this was some attempt at character assassination and a logical fallacy on my part, despite the fact that I was dealing with hard evidence here.
Plus, her tirade about how Christians are bad but no other religious group is bad is also hypocritical, and she has since removed those statements on her profile. What is also ironic is that she admits she is uncomfortable about homosexuality, yet wrote in her review of the story in question that she thought ejaculation was like “a whale oil tank exploding”.
“Your homophobia” – I usually stop listening when someone uses this card, because it is an old argument and does not deserve an ounce of my attention. If this is the best you can do, you had better learn to stop talking out of both sides of your mouth.
“You could easily step down from this place” – Yes, and so could you. Why are you so special?
“You can’t judge! There’s no canon policy!” – I would love to introduce you to a word about copyright. I am sure the original creators would love to hear what is happening to their works without their consent. It’s like me taking your work (if I was a fool) and turning into a story about pimps and prostitutes and twisting everything around. What would happen then? Would you feel insulted? So there we have it.
“You’re too smart” – Why, thank you. The rest of this can be summed up as some attempt to be Holier Than Thou, and she also does the hypocrite thing again by doing the thing she warns me not to do. Yes, I can be clever and smart, but the difference between us is that I have a sense of right and wrong. I also (try to, anyways) jump into debates without knowing what I am doing.
“You’re just filled with rage” – I wasn’t mad. But are you? What’s this whole Methodist stuff about pride and glory? I’m not going to conquer nations, FFS. Stop treating me like I’m a warlord.
“Don’t like/don’t read” – For every logical fallacy she claims I have, I can point out ten of hers. She has used the appeal to authority argument, Red Herrings, appeal to the populace, as well as a lack of deduction. If she did not like my review, she didn’t have to read it, yet she says that she felt entitled to respond. Fair is fair; if she is allowed to do it, so am I. Practice what you preach.
“I’m not here to challenge your morals” – You spent your entire argument on how I have hubris and all these other things that had nothing to do with the original story. This was her attempt at character assassination and it was kind of funny to read because all of those things apply to her more than I. Basically, it was: “Don’t flame, you meanie. You’re just hurting people!” Insert inane arguments about homosexuality and religion and we have this. She is way more intolerant than me.
“You don’t write fanfiction, therefore, you can’t judge!” – Logical fallacy in the name of Ebert’s Law. I don’t need to write something in order to judge it. If you’re meant to be a cow for criticism, why not me? Except I’m more savvy and smart, right? Right? Hehehehe.
Aside from the emotional arguments, you didn’t prove me wrong. Not at all. Matter of fact, looking back at it now, it amazes me how you came up with it in the first place.
Update: She responded via another PM I sent her in regards to her new story. Alas:
In that case I believe I was addressing what I perceived as a logical fallacy on your part, in which your stance was that absence of evidence dictates-with absolute finality of evidence of absence. In a broad, and corporeal sense, this works, and I’ll even suggest that Occan’s razor supports your idea. However, I believe that in consideration of an individual trait, this being sexuality, your argument is lacking. Your statement rode on the conclusion that “I didn’t see it, therefore it does not exist.” This is the extreme end of the spectrum, so I responded with the same. “Do you ever see a woman give birth in the game? Then you have no concrete proof that Humans in the game have live births.” I don’t think the last time I tried to explain this perceived gap in your reasoning to you, you understood my meaning, and thus took my words out of context in your subsequent notarization of the encounter. Suffice to put things to rest in this regard with my assurance that I do not believe humans in Dishonored lay eggs, and I will accept fault for a poor analogy.
The second part was a macabre theoretical mode of assassination, meant to taken in macabre jest.
Purple prose, eh? The word "macabre" means horribly gruesome, so that's some pretty gruesome jest on her part for being so witless. Plus, the idea that I understood her meaning that thus took her words out of context is self-defeating, because how can I take words out of context if I understand them? I quoted you! I responded privately, but here's another take of mine.
The argument of absence of evidence = evidence of absence doesn't apply here, because you used the Absense of evidence =/= evidence of existence and the logical fallacy where there are no other explanations (If A does not lead to B, it must be B regardless despite the evidence towards C and D), the appeal to authority where I cannot judge as I do not own the fandom and am not a moderator (self defeating as she claims to respect canon), the argument of the populace (don't like don't read) and a huge tirade on hubris and the human condition while saying I'm a homophobe and all that stuff because I'm...what?
I don't remember. Something along the lines of the human condition and how we're all selfish or something. Thanks, Ghandi.
Actually, my statement referred to the butchery of the characters. Because what kind of person says ejaculation is like exploding whale oil tanks?
Plus, your refusal to accept evidence contrary to sexual deviance also is confirmation bias.
Meh. Lulz had and lost. Time to move on.
Plushie Tough Gal - Didn't like being reminded that being a white girl in the First Crusade, in Syria, was not a good idea.
I like kiddies - original story baww-leeted, accused me of crushing her dreams because I told her she was writing underage sex. It was a pederasty story, so less controversy.
Hyperactive Taco Retard - 11-year-old on the Internet. Blocked me after I said its stories violated the rules and that it typed like a retard. Thinks I'm dead but doesn't understand that it blocked me.
Ghost rapist - likes seeing men raped by ghosts. I am not kidding.
InnocenceIsDark - Did a complete turnaround. She now blogs on issues important to her, such as domestic violence, which I encourage any of you who write what you write with a straight face and believe it healthy to contact her. She is no longer an object of scorn, but one who pushes the scorn. For that, she has my support.
The following user asked me months ago not to post her response, but now that I look back on it, her response deserves to be published. You know who you are.
Original message:
So after reading your PM I deleted it and found myself toying with the idea of replying to you, even though I know better than to engage you in a PM pissing contest - I've seen what happens to those who take you on and, quite frankly, I don't fancy ending up on your -ahem- "shitlist".
To be honest, mate, I have no idea why you pulled me up on my review. I haven't given it a second thought since posting it but I guess you have more time on your hands than I do. I don't really give two shits about what you said re: my review and I'm not going to address any of it here in this message.
Before I proceed though I'd like to profusely stress that I do NOT want to engage you in a pissing contest on ANY level. Your opinions are your own, as are mine. In fact I'd rather not give your PM a second thought except that something you said so deeply disturbed me that I can't help but write to you. I hope to keep this civil and intellectual, and I respectfully ask that you do the same.
So. Your comments about female sexuality really got my blood boiling. I found it incredibly offensive - not to mention distressing - that in your commentary on Corvo's behavior in the aforementioned fic you effectively equated female sexuality and behavior with being a doormat. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I just might be since I deleted the PM) but you said that Corvo not wanting sex and then accepting it - reconsidering Martin's offer - was a distinctly female act. You also went on to say that Corvo (and I'm paraphrasing here) bends over like a submissive dog and takes it - again, a distinctly female move. The content of the fic, and the characterization of Corvo, is neither here nor there. But how can you make such a sweeping and offensive statement to the effect that women are submissive doormats who might say no but then reconsider, etc etc? You're a woman, right? Now I don't know what kind of sex you're getting - if any - but I can sure as shit tell you that I don't just accept the first hard that comes along, nor do I bend to pressure after first saying "no". If I want it, I want it; if not, I tell those fellas to take a hike lest they want their jollies broken. Seriously though, it sounds like you're trying to put women's sexuality back 50 years or something. NO, not all women are submissive doormats nor do we reconsider unwanted offers. And if we follow your logic, women who are sexually assaulted and preyed upon can't quite help that it happened to them because they were too submissive to say no or - God forbid - they reconsidered at the last second. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about your statements, though, because I can't understand why you'd lump all female sexual creatures into such a negative basket.
My second gripe is your association of being female and female behavior with the negative. You resent Corvo's characterization because he behaves as a woman does. Do you really think that being a woman is all that bad? More importantly, do you really think that men who - as you put it - behave like women or exhibit supposedly feminie characteristics like relinquishing sexual control or being "taken" are bad? I am a firm believer in the idea that human beings possess both male and female traits - after all, what separates us but a single chromosome? Take a look at Jung's work on gender identity. His theories on the shadow implies that both a part of the psyche of men and women possesses elements of both genders - with no negative consequences. So I'd ask you to reconsider your stance on male and female behavior. It's not a bad thing that some men behave like women and vice versa. Nor should female behavior be seen as this terrible negative thing. Have you no pride in your gender?
OK. That's it from me. Like I said earlier I didn't want to get into a war of the words with you. You had your say and now I've had mine. I will also add that I was perfectly civil and respectful and did not attack you personally. I would ask that you pay me the same respect in your response (if you choose to respond) and I would also ask that you keep this between us. It doesn't warrant being posted on your trophy wall.
Ciao.
Odd how protective she is about female sexuality, yet when it comes to men, she enjoys seeing them bent over like dogs. For a science student, she sure doesn't realize how biology works or how backwards her special feminist philosophy is. My original response had nothing to do with women, but it did have everything to do with men being treated like women. She didn't like this and went completely off the wall. Plus, I love the feminist attack of "Oh, I bet you've never had sex," when she herself is still a virgin.
Can you say hypocrite? Here is the best the world has to offer. Seriously.
I found it quite hilarious since you blocked me, then unblocked me. How nice. Aside from your scorching rhetoric and the attempt to blur the lines behind the genders, and the attempt at philosophy, I'd have to say your point is moot.
"So I'd ask you to reconsider your stance on male and female behavior. It's not a bad thing that some men behave like women and vice versa. Nor should female behavior be seen as this terrible negative thing. Have you no pride in your gender?"
Let's tackle this. First you say that it's a bad thing, yet admit that male and female exist. But the way you write it, you imply that there is no such thing as gender. If men are free to act as women and vice versa, there would be no distinct gender, would there? Actually, it is WRONG for a man to act like a woman, and vice versa, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE. I don't see male lions acting like lionesses. As a science student you should know this.
Second, the comment about my "pride in my gender", that's meant to make me recant, wasn't it? That's meant to make me feel BAD, wasn't it?
Third, the feminist tripe? LOL. Aside from the whining about "female oppression", you're pretty much upset that I dared suggest that there are such things as differences between the genders and that men should act like men and women like women. I'll just skip the feminist rant because that's 68er stuff and multicultural garbage. As a matter of fact I view that entire "philosophy" as nothing more than incessant whining and considering that women didn't liberate themselves - men did it for them.
Oddly enough you support BDSM, so you have NO room to talk. If anything, I'd say you're a hypocrite. Want to debate morals? Take a look in the mirror. By supporting sexual deviance that does dominant/submissive roles, and then going on a feminist rant, and attempt to say that it's OK for men to act like women and women like men, I'd have to ask where your logic comes from. You're supposed to be studying science. You know know gender exists. But by blurring the norms, you are encouraging sexual deviance and anti-human behaviour.
If I "disturbed" you, and you DON'T want to engage in a pissing contest, WHY did you write me a message? Self-defeatist logic.
As a matter of fact your entire message was about how offended you are. Well that is a WOMANLY thing. Why, yes, I am a woman, but I'm not so stupid to believe the little sickle of feminism that suggests white men are oppressing me. Sorry. I'm not that brainwashed.
If I offended you, good. That proves that my point made sense. Women are not men and men are not women. They cannot be both - and don't pull the hermaphrodite card. I could say that you, a lover of BDSM, which therefore defeats your entire message, are a tad bit sick in the head, but I won't go there.
Why, yes. I am proud of being a woman, but not my gender, since pseudo-women who pretend to advocate the "right thing" - feminists - attempt to one-up themselves. If you didn't want to engage in a pissing contest, perhaps it's best if you kept me blocked. You may not have attacked me personally but I still find the bleeding liberal heart something too pestering to ignore.
She eventually caved in. It's expected, really, considering how backwards she is. She wasted thousands of dollars on a worthless education, and like as not she will not bother to study it. Word of advice to you sane ladies: if you're going to study, better know what you want and better be dedicated to it. Do not be like this woman. She is a backwards feminist who enjoys male rape, but when the genders are reversed, she becomes insane. Learn from her example and learn how destructive feminism is.
Le Hypocrite and her works of love - It appears she has cleaned up her image a little, so I won't be too harsh.
Asks for reviews and turns around and says she doesn't like them
Love is Endless - But not that love
Polygamy is easy to justify, strictly from a scientific standpoint. There are naturally more women than men, so it would make sense for highly procreative purposes for a single man to have many wives/spouses/etc. Also, love is nebulous, there is no reason that a single man cannot love multiple women, and those women in turn have affection for him and each other. While it is not a lifestyle I myself would find enjoyable, I see no reason for it to be denied, save for the fact that under-population is no longer an issue.
Incestuous love...that one can be a little tricky, but I'll do my best. I believe one of the main reasons it is frowned upon is due to the fact that, as has been proven, the gene pool is diluted. Inbreeding leads to physical deformities and mental deficiences. It's unhealthy, mentally and physically. However, love and sex are entirely different animals. And I could provide no argument for the incestuous love between parent and child. That is unforgivable on multiple levels. Siblings are more understandable, though, once again, science has long since proven false the notion that incestuous breeding keeps a bloodline "pure."
Ah, that "love" argument again. Notice how she uses SCIENCE for incest and not much else. Oh, and for an "air force engineer" she has men helping her AA ass.
I took biology even though I don't understand it - Shitthor, posted some really stupid stuff and tried to tell me otherwise. Words of science:
I'm sorry you didn't like 'Comemorate', but clearly you knew you hated my work before reading 'Taboo', so I take no responsibility for that one. I'm sure you didn't intend for me to actually answer you but the anus is perfectly capable of fitting a . The basic principle of any sphincter is to streach open then close. Anal sex is also enjoyed by Hetronormative couples, which should ease your stigma towards it somewhat. And as a side note, when Steve is refered to as a boy Loki is also a child, and their relationship is platonic.
Also, Steve is in no way forced. Besides, the genders are reversed constantly. In every day life. When a girl loses her virginity it hurts. In many cases quite a lot. But they're expected to tough it out when their boyfriend/partner wants them to until they learn to enjoy it. Your problem is not with the premise, but with a man being the one in pain. You're so against the mere thought of a man being in a ttraditionally weaker position that you jump at shadows just incase it might be implied. I'm not worried about you hating my work, I'm an amature author, I don't expect everyone to like my stuff. (I am, in face, suprised by how many people do.)
What worried me most in your message is the blatent homophobia and life is not defined by my ability to attract men, so even if every man in the world became gay it wouldn't 'undermine' my 'existance as a woman'. My existance is defined by what I do with it, not some mysogonitic dogma. It's pretty insulting to be demeaned like that, though I guess that was the whole point really. Mostly, though, I'm worried about your homophobia (and general disregard of the LBGT community) because it's completely nonsensical. You may dislike their practices, but noone's making you participate. So, since you're not required to do anything, you're actually railing against other people being happy, because it's different from what makes you happy. And we all know that different automatically equals bad. On a similar note, I don't know why you felt the need to flame rather than leave structured critiscism, I assure you the latter is more likely to affect people's writing.
You'll have to forgive the hasty structure of this PM. I'm writing on my phone at 6:40am on my way to work.

PS: Elephant shit is pretty deep. Maybe come up with a better example. :)
She is a rape lover, and posts graphic content featuring sadism, torture, and male shaming. Ignores the basic functions of biology and claims to have taken it for two years. Used the gay gene myth, uses the good ole misogyny (despite being one herself) and homophobia. The usual stuff.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks for taking the time to say this? It means nothing to me, you are a stranger, a nobody. If you do not like these kinds of stories, be courteous enough to skirt away from them. Just as everyone is entitled to their opinion, everyone is entitled to their own likes and dislikes. Sorry but you are wasting your time.
She wrote incestuous rape, gets off on it, and thinks there is nothing wrong with it. So, everyone is entitled to their opinion? Whatever, but at the end of the day, you still love rape, and I abhor it. That's not an opinion. That's fact; something that you have no concept of. Among other things, of course. She also blocked me before I could respond, the lackwit.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/5941327/
While you are entitled to your own opinion... and as the writer, I agree with your opinion on my draft. What I do not agree with is the lack of constructive criticism. It would be like me saying your comment sucked and was a waste of time. Not useful, engaging, or helpful in any way. If you don't like it, don't comment and stop reading. Go find something else to waste your time and bad temper on.
I flamed her in the past, and this time around, I decided to give it another go. My reviews weren't actually full-out flames, and actually did touch on a few topics. Sadly, her womanly feelings got in the way.
"If you don't like it, don't read it" - You know, for someone as old as you are, with a husband and with a teaching career, that is certainly something that speaks volumes to me: it shows that you really, really don't have any talent and have the mental capacity of a teenager.
"Your reviews are not useful in any way" - Oh? Do explain, fraulein. I may have flamed you in the past, but I always flame for a reason, and your story has given me a lot to work with.
"Go find something else to waste your bad temper on" - Well, considering I wasn't flaming you hardcore, this is a rather weak statement, and shows me how utterly pathetic you are. It is clear that you have been sheltered all your life and what you subscribe to and what you believe shows that you are a person devoid of logic, empathy, and most of all, talent.
"It would be like me saying your comment sucked..." - That's pretty much what you did. You've been ass-kissed to kingdom come, and lo and behold, when someone who doesn't have an IQ of 5 comes around and tells you - rather civil, I might add - that your shit sucks, you throw a fit like a teenager. Plus, this is a public site, so expect public comments. You wanted reviews, and you got them. But if they're not what you want, you throw a fit like the kids you teach.
That reminds me, you are not worthy of being a teacher, and I truly feel bad for the kids you teach. Having a teacher that writes horrible homosexual pornography and embarrasses her husband in public really shows me that there is something wrong with the world.
But at the end of the day, whether my comments are "useless" or not, they still ring true because you haven't bothered to refute them, and besides, you do show that you can't handle them. There's a saying that insults really sting the most when they have an ounce of truth to them.
Going as a gem on my profile. Have a nice day, ScarletWhore.

Excuse me Mister! - Blocked me before I could respond, instead baaws over at her tumblr. It's cut off, but here it is:
I'm glad you're enjoying my story enough to keep reading it. I apologize that you've caught up. I had intended to have quite a bit more posted by the end of today, but I got distracted by playing the game and watching the canon scene where male Shepard and Kaidan do the dirty dirty. Man, I love that game. I've played it a ridiculous number of times.
Thanks for taking the time to review most of the chapters. Your comments are funny, if lacking finesse. My personal favorite is the remark about men not using shampoo. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. My husband, who just ran out of shampoo this morning, thinks you're a little weird, but I assured him that you're obviously crazy and that he shouldn't worry about your opinions on hygiene.
And thanks for visiting my Tumblr! I'm so sorry it hasn't bee as NSFW lately as it usually is. I promise, if you decide to visit occasionally, I'll attempt to do better.
Oh, and if you're ever ready to come out of the closet, you can come to me to talk about it. I understand that self-hatred can be super poisonous, and it's hard to keep it all inside. It ...
Kinda glad it got shortened, because all I can see is foaming at the mouth. She says it herself: "I am a wannabe writer."
I know it took you less than a few minutes to write your diatribe, but in the end, I still win, because you blocked me before I could respond. Did my hate finally get to you? You can go back to your lemon parties and cuddle with your swiggle friends and try to make yourself feel good, but I know that you're just that pathetic.
Husband? What's this now? I wonder how he feels about his wife writing hardcore homosexual pornography. I guess you can't satisfy him enough, hmm? But let's be serious here. You did not think my comments were "funny". You said this:
"This is a shitty person saying shitty things for shitty reasons, and trust me I am EXTREMELY PISSED at them. They are suffering many horrible fates in my imagination. But I’m not going to give them the satisfaction of thinking they’re getting to me.”
I didn't see laughter there. But then again you're putting on a show to boost your frail ego. I highly doubt you're married, and if you are, I feel bad for your husband.
"I assured him you were obviously crazy" - I take it you never actually read my reviews, or were too busy rage-quitting to actually read what I wrote. What exactly was crazy about them? I never wrote a story about two homosexuals who never build up a relationship but already go into the sex. That's not talent at all. And based on the way you write, you have the mental capacity of a hormonal teenager, hence your dismissal of my reviews and trying to appear as if I am the crazy one when on your tumblr you show a completely different personality which suggests instability.
"Oh, and if you're ever ready to come out of the closet, you can come to me to talk about it. I understand that self-hatred can be super poisonous, and it's hard to keep it all inside." - Ah, the token "you must be gay!" argument whenever someone does not accept homosexuality. But I think the person who's trying too hard not to seem like a socially inept wad is you, because I don't have these mental conversations with myself or resort to writing bad homosexual pornography. Very, very ironic coming from someone who is allegedly straight. Yet clearly your husband cannot give you the pleasure you desire, so you do the next best thing and whore yourself out. Doesn't matter to me.
But lol, U Mad Bro? I clearly got to you, yaoifag. Don't try to deny it.
Silly girl. But I do feel bad for your husband. He must be one emasculated male in order for his wife to act like that. Self-hatred is all consuming and paranoid schizophrenia is a completely excusable thing. That's just a few of the illnesses of fangirls, supreme idiocy being the first. And as for my reviews, I believe they are humourous and filled with wit, because otherwise, who wouldn't be raging?
Another baww-lock. Probably up there in the hundreds now.
You are so hateful, dude - Uses the "everyone has an opinion" card, doesn't like rules and lost it when she spoke to me. Hypocrite and backwards scum. Ironically, her message was titled "Actual Talent." Rule-breaker.

A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/9605287/
Thank you for bringing me so much amusement at the end of a tedious day; indeed, having perused what portions of your profile page I could decipher in the space of thirty seconds, I realize that we are tantamount to soul mates: having, as it were, a shared predilection for prolixity in shit-spewing that few others can hope to achieve. A privilege to make your acquaintance, though I do not think there is room in fandom for two such fountains of drivel. And so, adieu. Best regards,rb
Predilection: having a liking or predisposition to; Prolixity: prolonged or drawn out by excess of words. I reviewed her work and said that she went the Twilight route, and it looks like my predictions were right. She blocked me and still writes like a self-absorbed twat. At least people can understand what I say. If you cannot write what you mean and instead hide by purple prose, expect no one to like you but tomfools.
Smut's not art? - Basically, his entire argument was - actually, it wasn't one. It was more of lame excuses. Here is his last PM, because of another baaw-lock:
I've just finished reading your reviews, and damn. You've put more thought into this than I would have thought. Let's be honest: there is no way I could get you to change your mind, and no way you could change mine. You're wrong, I'm wrong, you're right, I'm right. There is no way on this planet that we'll change that. You mentioned that you could hear me typing away writing a long response to you, but why fight fire with more fire? You're the flamer here, it's your job to start the fire, and mine to stop, drop, and roll. I try to entertain a calm mind when it comes to conflict, but you have a great talent in fighting with words. I applaud you for your resolve and resilience used to combat what you deem to be poor. Thank you for this conflict of ideals, but I have better things to do. Good night, and I wish you find peace.

Race Card Driver - Upset that someone actually left honest reviews. Pulled the race card and whined despite being almost forty years old.
A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/8632057/
I have read your reviews and have come to two conclusions, based on both what you wrote and your own personal page:
1) You are basically a person who flames people in order to get attention. As such, I've disregarded your reviews. It doesn't help when you blatantly make racist, sexist, bigoted remarks. You are an attention whore. There are many, many of you out there. Your opinions are just that, opinions. I'm happy you hold them, but frankly, I could care less what you say or feel since you've identified yourself as someone not reading to enjoy but to tear down.
2) You have zero understanding of Christianity. The point is not to sit around, judging people and telling them they will go to hell, but of course someone of your nature would only focus on that part.
Contrary to what you probably think, I don't hate you for your reviews, because you clearly didn't bother to read very far into the story. I actually suspect you simply cherry picked a few chapters. You seem to be missing the point, of course. I am hardly going to waste my time (or yours) laboriously explaining out what you should be seeing, and I wish you grea...
Ends there. Not entirely untypical, but it is amusing to see how people react to flamers.
Ah, another block? Why am I not surprised? Honestly, had I read every chapter, I think you'd find that there would be no difference in the way I review, or the faults in your stories. Besides, in some, I wasn't even flaming, and offered legitimate questions and criticism. Good to know that people truly are immune to criticism.
As for your first point: no, I don't flame to get attention. I flame because I am pointing out shit where shit is. While my flames do get attention, I do not actively seek it. So your point is moot. As for the second, the 'racist, sexist, and bigoted remarks', I couldn't care less, because I am a person who speaks sense and truth, and if that is how you see it, so be it. And for the third, no, I am not an attention whore, though there are many of them out there, you included. I would expect from someone with as much experience as you to handle my remarks a little more level-headed.
'Your opinions are just opinions' - As are yours, though my opinions are based on fact. I make my opinions later. Though, if we are going to go into that opinion argument, it is automatically void, because why would I give two shits about your opinion?
Actually, I do have an understanding of Christianity, and from what I know, you would be considered a heathen for promoting unhealthy lifestyles. Christianity can be considered bigoted, sexist, and racist, but it is what it is, and I guarantee you, I probably know more about it than you do.
'You seem to be missing the point...so I'm not going to waste my time' - You felt obligated to defend your work despite its flaws, and were unable to use what I had to say. So no, I'm not missing the point at all. As for cherry-picking, I did skim through a few chapters and read others, but it was little more than a re-hash of the game, with an unrealistic protagonist, unrealistic characters, and most of all, eye-rolling romance. What, exactly, should I be seeing? For someone with the name 'LogicalPremise', none of your claims are remotely logical. But, then again, what can I expect from butthurt fanfiction authors?
Update: he bitches more here, says he's a functional paranoid:
1) Shepard is lesbian: Shepard spent her youth being sexually abused by males. She is bi-sexual and probably was that way at birth, but the events she went through in her early life shaped her as well. I am fully aware that rape does not one make someone a lesbian. However, it will make a person with bisexual tendencies more likely to pursue female rather than male relationships.
For someone who claims to know biology, he is unaware that bisexuality/homosexuality is not genetic or hardwired. Suggesting that she may be bisexual and using the genetic argument implies that there is a hormonal or genetic defect. Of course, we do not see that argument. Second, for someone that is attempting to create a ‘realistic’ Shepard, it really has to involve a bunch of misogynistic males, a clichéd background of ‘oh, I was raped’ and the clichéd devolution into a psychopath, and best of all, misandry, makes you a cheap and very, very pathetic. In this case, he used both the Nature and Nurture argument, though for the most part, lesbians are lesbian because of their hatred for men and their blatant mental illness.
His attempt at creating a character that goes from a car tire to a ‘real person’ means absolutely nothing, especially when said character is stripped to an anime style character that has zero charisma; or better yet – a Mary Sue.
2) Hilarious lack of information on the military: I’m a functional paranoid and they let me in. The military (especially in times of war and when recruiting is low) has very low standards for entry. That’s why we have so many issues today with rape, abuses, drug abuse, etc. As to the PT part, there are women TODAY who can do that workout, you idiot.
3) Rape charges: Shepard was (and is) dysfunctional on several levels. Psychologically speaking she was trying to perform role based reclamation, which is unhealthy but hardly unusual for victims of abuse.
Actually, that goes against military protocol. In all other militaries, such as the Chinese military, they do not allow functional paranoids or anyone that can compromise the health of the unit and the operation at hand. Even in WW2 Germany at their defeat, they did not allow mentally ill individuals to fight: they used young boys, old men, and disabled people. Not a single schizophrenic there. The US has low standards for entry because of equality mandates. Women cannot perform well as men, and performance varies between the races.
‘Women can do that workout, you idiot’. No, they can’t actually – they can’t even throw a grenade at the proper distance. Plus, if women were as good as men, they would not need Title IX or Affirmative Action quotas. Women run shorter marathons, have longer run times, and avoid active combat. Women are promoted because they are women, not because of their performance. Under stress and combat, women will break easier than men because they cannot handle the stress. Oh, and on the topic of rape and abuse, maybe we can go on about how military women get pregnant to avoid their terms, all the while getting free benefits and pay?
Any dysfunctional soldier is not fit for combat as per military protocol. If you are a functional paranoid, then you were allowed in because of your stature, or you never served any time at all and only stayed on a base. No paranoid, and no mentally ill individual, is allowed in combat. Maybe in the US that holds drag races on Okinawa base, but nowhere else. On another note, it does make sense why you even bothered to write such things and openly call me out. It truly shows your insecurity. If I recall correctly, don’t functional paranoids make things up on a regular basis?
Your story is 111 chapters, 611,000 words long, and is little more than a Mary-Sue who got raped at an early age. That’s not ‘dark’. That’s making up a flat character that has nothing to live for. And it’s also something called Pink Sci-Fi; since when would a rape victim, let alone a bisexual, a blue alien? There’s a comment on YouTube made from a sensible person (not me) that even a progressive female Shepard in real life wouldn’t go for Garrus. In this scenario, it’s little more than a re-hash of the game with a flat villain and a protagonist that is as deep as Marcus from Gears of War.
I remain amused at the number of people thinking the fact that they can hold an opinion means anyone else is entitled to bother to listen to it, especially when it’s riddled with racist, sexist, bigoted overtones.
And of course, he/she/it calls me out on Christianity, basically saying I can’t be a Christian if I don’t act like the fucking Westboro Baptist Church.
Perhaps you should keep that ego in check and obey the rules you set out; mainly, that you asked for reviews. Of course your only excuse is: ‘Oh, Shepard’s was raped and she’s a functional paranoid so believe me plz I have degrees and WHAT’S THAT?! SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU RACIST, SEXIST HOMOPHOBE!’ You are just living Bioware’s dream, you nutsack. And yes, I can call you out on your religion, because by all rights, you are a heathen. And the WBC is old news; it was a troll’s den to begin with and a liberal’s favourite toy. Me? I don’t subscribe to any religion, so you can’t call me a zealot. On your hand, though, there are plenty of things that can be attributed to you.
Extra update: I've gotten more info on this claim from people who have served, and it turns out that it's not so pretty as he paints it. In some cases, this man wouldn't even pass standard protocol. In others, he'd just be drugged. So even if you /did/ serve, you likely did so while under drug use and influence. Hello America: serving your freedom with the Afghani opium fields.
He has sent me yet another message, and has still kept me under that baaw-lock:
Subject: Your followup
Someone wrote me to let me know you'd actually bothered to post up my review response, so I read what you wrote about military forces. I was in the US Submarine Service for four years, not sitting on some base. I haven't laughed so hard in quite a while. Why don't you get back to your fucking 'sources' and let them know what they understand of the military could fit in a thimble, kid.
I have no problem if you hate my writing or stories -- it's not like I'm great or anything. People glorifying rape, people who can't write anything but horrible furry porn, people making a mockery of a story -- bashing that stuff is fine. But the core problem you have is that you've decided that anything that fails your own personal likes or dislikes automatically falls into 'bad literature' and relying on flaming and hyperbole to make a point, thus, attention whoring.
If your object, as you claim, is to "defend good literature and give authors a taste of reality", then you are failing -- no one getting a review like that will listen. They will either dismiss you as a troll, or (if truly idiotic) engage you in some sort of long-running dialogue.
I wish you the best of luck in the Hetalia forums, assuming...
Wow, what a mouthy little thing. I should mention that my 'fucking sources' include an actual Master Sergeant and people who have actually served, and they have told me you are lying. Second, I have read more of his story, and it actually kinda sucks. A lot. So no, I'm not 'attention-whoring' considering that I review when I feel that a story needs changing, and based on his previous reactions to other reviews, he does not like criticism. Third, the troll comment is so old. I'm not a troll, and calling me one is the fastest way to show you're an intolerant prick. And lastly, not sure about the Hetalia forums. I haven't been in any, and Hetalia is old news. U Mad, Bro?
I swear I'm not EL James- Blocked me before I could respond, has a 'writing blog' here. Unblocked me to show her intelligence, and then blocked me again. Messages here. Update: she has since fled to AO3, as FFnet wasn't inclusive enough and didn't have a safer safe space.

I exchanged my views with her, asking her why she would make Corvo or anyone else gay and that her story isn't remotely close to canon or logic. Before blocking me, she went on a Woman Rampage and proceeded to say this:
Last message before I wash my brain of your misogynistic, homophobic ranting:
I'm entitled to post what pairing I want, for what fandom I want. If I want to post an entire story with Corvo and Daud basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking, I can. If I wanted to have Piero, Sokolov, and Corvo running off into the sunset together, I can. If I wanted the Carebears to descend from Care-a-lot and defeat the Dunwall plague with sunshine and happiness, I can. If I wanted the Star Trek Enterprise to beam down Captain Kirk and Spock to help overthrow the Overseers, I can.
Do you see the pattern here?
As long as my story adheres to http://www.Fanfiction.net's guidelines - not YOUR guidelines - but this site's rules, then all you can do is stomp around and throw a little 2k temper tantrum on my review board. That's it. That's the extent of the damage you can do. You can't even report the story because it breaks no rules.
So what now? Hm? You'll post this message on your mile-long profile that people probably hide? Oh no. Please. Not...that.
Anyway, I'm blocking you now. Because if you're going to piss and moan, I'm making you work for it. Be sure to use all your other sock puppets each chapter, or go anon if you don't...
Message two:
by the way quoted from the Dishonored Wiki: Piero's Spiritual Remedy is the second of two anti-plague elixirs to have been created, the other being, Sokolov's Elixir. It is named for its creator, Piero. It is likely that the remedy is profoundly expensive, and [that only the rich can afford it] alluding to why the rat plague is still an epidemic in Dunwall.
Yeah. That. And FYI, referred to the Wiki several times, and have played Dishonored several times, both DLC's also on both High Chaos and Low. Unwrap your head canon from the actual source material. Kay? Thanks.
Canon is canon. Your argument of 'I WRITE WHAT I WANT!' means zilch. In a hypocritical fashion, it is OK for her to criticize other works for violating canon (she accuses me of favouriting stories that violate canon but can't name one), but not for me or anyone else. She has a long history of generally being a mouthpiece.
Message Three:
This is about slash. This is about your disgust with homosexuality in general, and I'd suggest seriously, to deal with your hate. It's not healthy. If I had paired Corvo with a female, none of your "discontent" would exist. Hence you are the one with the problem. I'm not pulling the story and I'm not intimidated by you. You can get all your friends to review if you like - as I said. Reviews bring people.
Thanks again for the typo catch and mentioning that perhaps Piero's Remedy might need some Overseer confiscating. I'll add that in and give you credit.
Have a super day, dude :)

She's gotten worse as things have gone along. She's a mouthier wench than E.L. James and writes just as bad as her. She also accuses me of using nothing but my 'head-canons' and bullying people because they're not adhering to it. Read on, comrades:
Subject: Bait and Switch
I think it's fucking hilarious I can PM you when I've blocked you. Holy shit. Priceless. Gotta love FFnet's twisted logic.
You know, I realized I never followed up on that anon. You were so pissed that I updated. LOL. Damn, girl. So pissed. And numerous reviews telling me my story is shit? Um...besides yours? One was a giant rhetorical question, and the other was a review discussing canon aspects that I debated privately via PM - and received an apology as most were head canons, or aspects discussed on forums, not the Dishonored Wiki itself.
So...one in a half nays? Numerous indeed.
Your exaggerations aside, I know you were tempted...oh, so tempted when I posted chapter three of my well-received story to offer up another blathering display of entitlement propaganda. But good for you, you resisted. And damn...the irony. I actually WANTED you to review. I even made wagers with another friend what you would about next. I wanted more quotes for your Tumblr.
Man...so disappointed.
So here, let me bait you behind a block (lolz, so fucking funny, FFnet!) Updating seems to be a trigger for you. Nothing seems to piss you off more. I guess I can understand. All that hard work de...
Such cowardice. I would expect as much from someone who associates themselves with 'Of Cabbages and Kings'. The more you scream at me, the more you show that I monopolize you. Here is my response, as the coward cannot respond directly:
Cool story, bro. I think in all of this you show that you are a mentally ill degenerate who doesn't have the respect you accuse me of not having. Your behaviour is akin to a five-year-old who didn't get the right candy cane from the candy store, and now resort to white-knighting those who have found themselves under my foot. It's noble, but only in appearance. The fedoras don't get bigger. However, the constant foaming at the mouth, the stalking, and blatant attention whoring show that one thing is clear:
You are butthurt. And you can't handle the truth. The only people who are calling your story good are two people: one is a blatant ass-kisser, the other a fellow sick f.uck, so that is no surprise. In the end, I will tell you that your purple prose, bad canon, and generally bad story-telling is a self-face-palming moment, but since your ego's too damn big along with the rest of the rolls, you couldn't handle it. As much as you want me to be, I'm not as mad as you are. But I haven't seen an author toot their own horn as loud as you, and you are a fresh gem I haven't mined in a while. The louder you cry, the more you disrespect your readers. There's only...what? Two people reviewing your story? Sure, sure; AO3 has more people, but those s have more rolls than a New York bakery. They can't write to save their lives, and are content raping anything in their path. Off to the gulag for them.
I don't really see this as bait. I see it as the same old, same old. I'm guessing that head trauma never went away, eh?
A few little birds have their thanks for me. You put a lot of the pieces together. You know who you are.
Update: the gift that keeps on giving, more than a year after the initial encounter:
I'd rather post where there's a watchful eye on reviews and reviewers - even if it's only my own. At least on AO3, I can delete stupidity.
Ah, speaking of which, here's a quote from a very...special user here on FFnet. Her name isn't important, nor is her mammoth shit-pile of a profile, but one quote bears mentioning (edit: see my comments on canon):
Hmm...*looks at TOS and Guidelines* How strange...I don't see anything in the rules that specifically states an author must follow CANON. Nothing...nothing at all. How odd. I do hope fanfic authors have the common sense to take this user's "opinion" with a grain of salt. A very large one.
Follow or don't follow canon. It's your right to be creative.
Le sigh. When removing all evidence of wrongdoing, continue to throw salt behind a barrier.
I suppose when you realize that engaging someone that is inherently your better, you tend to throw out things that contradict you or aren't necessarily true. One thing about pathological liars is that they project. When confronted with their lies, they project some more; when that fails, irrational tempers flare.
My name used to be listed, but people often remove it or continue to spite it without ever once speaking to me directly. It is easier to claim victory over an opponent when you haven't once spoken to them, or even attempt to understand their position. At this point in time, there's little to do but shake your head at the attitude of a 35-year-old woman that acts worse than Anne Rice when she receives something she doesn't like.
It's an unspoken rule that the best fanfic stays as true to canon as possible. It's not your property, so it is your duty to make fans of the work happy as well as try your hand at style. I'm not entirely impartial to fanfic writers taking bold leaps with their work; in fact I support it. At the same time, though, they should be responsible enough to respect the work. If someone gave you a very expensive car to drive, it would be your responsibility to take care of it. You're not going to go around and put dents in it, especially if the person who loaned it to you expects you to treat their property with respect. You can think of more examples and they can apply.
People do have a right, in a sense, to be creative. But with fanfic rules do apply. The work isn't yours. I've said this multiple times and people do not seem to understand it. As for those upset or angered by my 'opinion', you are free to pay for an editor to read your work, and if they said something you didn't like, you can't say that all of their work was just 'opinion'. You are also free to post it on other public sites, and there are those that specifically host good quality stories and you have to pass certain requirements to get your work in there. But when someone leaves a review, and gives reasons as to why, you can't say you didn't exactly ask for it.
Dismissing people that hold views like mine (and most are not that hostile) as 'cyber-bullies' is, well, pretty pathetic. If you're an adult, you should grow up by now. Stop acting like an angry feminist/social justice warrior/what-have-you. Let's be mature here. As for telling people to move to AO3 to specifically avoid nasty comments: you're more or less telling these terrible authors and terrible people that they don't need to change. And they are indeed terrible people. It's one thing for fanfiction to be a hobby. It's another to treat it as a way of life and a form of escapism. If using the 'cyber-bully' card is your only excuse, I can only wonder what really goes on inside your head.
This is a perfect example of 'Rice Out.' If you send your work in to editors, are in a Critique Circle, and have a style that is similar to the author mentioned, and yet still do not improve and have a horrible attitude, I have no idea what to tell you. Something is indeed wrong. I wouldn't say intellectual nastiness. That would imply some level of wisdom. But I do see a lot of bait-and-switch, as well as things that would definitely imply butthurt on a supreme level of trolling, when I have done no such thing. But I do suppose making an excuse for writers to write paedophilic fanfiction under the guise of 'creativity' would, indeed, prove that wrongness.
Old work. This comes from Raellien's 'The Good Kind of Wrong':
I'm not in this fandom, but I feel the need to address the bullshit below me.
Ignore her. Ignore her head canons, her opinions, her holier-than-thou sexist homophobic propaganda. She has no clue what fiction is. What fanfiction is. She also has no clue how to use the back button, or how to talk to someone like a human being. She lacks respect so she deserves none in return.
She projects her silly, idiotic fanaticism in nearly every fandom unfortunate enough to interest her, and expects everyone to adhere to it as if she's the f.ucking queen of canon. Sorry, no. Not even close.
Consider this the worst she can do. Stomp and and throw a temper tantrum on that excessively long, pompous page of spewlege she calls a profile. That's it. This story won't be removed because it violates nothing. And this story won't be removed because people like this narrow-minded twit can freely harass people on this site and bully them into not updating or in rare cases - not write again.
If FFnet allows this bully free reign, they won't touch this story.
Don't be intimidated by this bitch. She isn't worth your time, your tears, or even your anger. Keep writing (if you're not posting here, I hope you're posting on AO3) because that's the best way to beat her. She doesn't like it when you update. Hates it. RANTS about it. So block her hating ass and update. Update constantly. Slash to your heart's content.
It's your right as a writer, and fan.
Lol, nope. Read above on 'No Rights'. Most notable is that she never claims to censor people or control them over the Internet, yet does both. By far the loudest and most butthurt one I've had in my roster. Even six months on, she is still obsessing over me.

A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/8029746/
Coming away from your posts, I'm left a little unclear about your intent. Is it to vent about the state of fandom and culture in general? Or do you actually want to help bring about change to the issues you're seeing?
If it's just to vent, hey, whatever works for you; more power to you. If it's actually in the interest of change, a few pointers if you want to be more effective, particularly with the fangirl subset demographic it seems like you're targeting:
1) Focus your argument. Pick a single topic that's particularly heinous and stick with it, and beware convoluting your message with many different sub-topics from a single umbrella. The more focused your argument is, the smaller the chance of weaknesses.
2) Avoid assumptions about personal characteristics and opinions other than those that are specifically stated. With generalizations, you may hit a lot of things on the nose in some instances, but statistically you're going to swing and miss a lot of the time as well. A single incorrect assumption weakens your argument in their eyes and makes it easier for them to dismiss the valid points you do make.
3) Avoid the name calling. Sometimes it's well warranted, but again, if you actually want to make people think, making their brains shut down with that easy crap isn't going to cut it. Instead, give them the benefit of the doubt whenever possible to formulate the least stupid version of their views you can (so you avoid the straw man trap), then tear them apart; it requires more thought, but it hits a lot harder.
4) Do the research. Read up a bit on the motivations behind huge portions of the people writing this stuff. Reading a bit on the psychology behind human sexuality and arousal in particular may also be beneficial. Reading about these topics may not appeal, but hey, you're already reading the shitty fic, and if you really want to bring about change, you have to commit. The more you know, the more effective you'll be.
Make people have to fight for it if they want to dismiss you as just another troll--fandom needs people like you who are passionate about raising community standards and who are willing to call people out on their bullshit. I may not agree with your some of your points, but I respect the hell out of you for devoting the time to addressing problems you see around you. Good luck.
-A Proponent of Good, Old-Fashioned Debate (even on completely newfangled topics)
Message Two:
Just to clarify, I didn't address your review point by point because A) I was left with too many questions about what your viewpoints actually were (at least in regard to the fic in question) to address them properly, B) it seems clear that we disagree on such fundamental concepts as the distinction between fantasy and reality (and the idea that an author doesn't have to condone an activity to depict it) to such a degree that productive debate is impossible, C) I didn't want to insult your intelligence with itemized breakdowns instead of letting you make your own inferences, and D) frankly, my schedule was full enough already.
I avoided making as many assumptions about you as I could, though you haven't paid me the same courtesy. You've assumed a great deal of things about my personal life, and I don't feel like discussing my personal life with you enough to refute them, so you may just have to go on incorrectly believing you were right.
If you'd like to formulate a response that meets the standards I set in my first response, I'd be happy to respond with a full rebuttal, but until then, I really don't have the time.
If you've come across a fic similar to mine with, say, Blackarachnia and Silverbolt or something, I would love to read it, though. ;)
Message Three:
Well, if you're trying to convince me that further dialogue might be productive, I can't say you're doing the best job. Looking into more info for recycled attempts at ad hominem doesn't really speak well for the substance of your argument.
"'My schedule is full enough already.' - I am sure that it is. Women hate to be proven wrong, don't they?" No really, not everybody has as much time to devote to ranting fruitlessly about what gets people off as you apparently do. I actually enjoy being proven wrong, but you'd have to do some actual proving instead of spouting things I already know or that've been said a thousand times before (often by Social Justice Warriors, oddly enough).
I do wonder for you when you claim to know more about homosexuality than actual gay people. "Unnatural obsession with homosexuality" indeed.
In the mean time, still waiting on a post that meets those initial standards.
My last response as follows.
"Looking for more recycled attempts at ad hominem won't help you" - It seems you completely forgot about why I flamed your fic and didn't even raise the issues about the contents of your story. I said that the characters were OOC, and that you wrote one groping another while drunk, pointing out that if the genders were reversed and if that were a female being groped, you would have a completely different reaction. Not only that, but you seem blissfully unaware of how long I have been doing this, and so, your 'points to take' don't really mean anything as I already do them.
But I've done some research of my own, and I can tell you: you have zero room to talk. Do not lecture me about ad hominem or whatever logical constructs you've got, because you do not adhere to them and most of all, if you think I have an obsession with homosexuality, take a look at what you favourite.
It's always best to do a little self-reflection, don't you think?
So, I'll repeat myself again, as you forgot MY initial objections:
Focused argument: I already focus my arguments. If I don't, why should I bother to flame? I always have a purpose, and as it is a fandom I know quite well, I already know the canon and already 'do the research' as you suggest I do. For the second, on generalizations and learning the motivations behind these people, I know quite well what are the motivations of these people, and I know they are broken individuals. They are disturbed, sick, and seek a niche to normalize their disgusting behaviours. I have already told you that I have gotten responses like yours before on the subject of 'you're doing it wrong', and while it's a change, it still makes me shake my head, because honestly, we are not talking about me here. We are talking about you. I criticized your story as it was above the rating of the site, where you admitted your hypocrisy (srs bsns indeed) among other things.
I'm still giggling about the 'do your research' part. It reminds me of conspiracy theorists when confronted with inconvenient facts.
For the third: avoiding the name calling. I'll accept this as 'be nicer'. You probably haven't seen many of my reviews, but eh, whatever.
"In the mean time, still waiting on a post that meets those initial standards" - I'm still waiting for you to admit that what you wrote was disgusting and wrong. And based on your favourites on AO3, you adore rape, beastiality, incest, and other sexual fetishes that render you a sick f/uck. So while you're too busy making up a straw-man, I'm still wondering when you'll admit to your own fetishes. Usually people by now will go up in arms about what I've said. While you've been evasive, I know who and what you are.
Lots of people believe I am a troll because they cannot handle the fact that people like me exist in real life. I offered you my rebuttal and it was sound, and yes, I used vulgar language because now that I think about it, you deserve it.
"You're spouting things I already know" - So, someone else has told you you're a sick f/uck? How surprising. If you've heard enough from the Social Justice Warriors, I'm sure you think you're one of those NAPALT who think they're above the seam. We'll also bring up an old message of yours:
"Just to clarify, I didn't address your review point by point because A) I was left with too many questions about what your viewpoints actually were (at least in regard to the fic in question) to address them properly" - I gave you plenty of advice above the sarcasm and wit. Shame you didn't get it.
"B) it seems clear that we disagree on such fundamental concepts as the distinction between fantasy and reality (and the idea that an author doesn't have to condone an activity to depict it) to such a degree that productive debate is impossible" - Actually, there are plenty of productive debates, the first being that as you thought about the subject, wrote it, and posted it, implies nihilism and desensitization. Plenty of room for debate. I am willing to listen, but for the moment, it really, really seems you don't want to admit that there is something wrong with you.
"C) I didn't want to insult your intelligence with itemized breakdowns instead of letting you make your own inferences, and D) frankly, my schedule was full enough already. " - You have already assaulted my intelligence, so that line has been crossed. Plus, if you truly want to rise above me as my intellectual equal, you can start by actually addressing the things you believe I have done wrong, and instead of acting like a Social Justice Warrior (lol) you can start clean and fresh. Though I believe that is asking for too much.
"I do wonder for you when you claim to know more about homosexuality than actual gay people" - Hmm, do I sense some assault on my character? Do I smell the 'you must be in the closet' meme? Plus, we'll quote from your tumblr:
'I like the kinky stuff.'
'And this is why I cave and write the fucking first and then go back and write the other things. ;D'
Plus, you re-blogged and entire essay on how extreme BDSM relationships are normal and healthy in regards to your multiple OTPs. So, not only do you disregard canon evidence, you disregard real-world evidence in regards to these relationships. So, who really has the obsession?
And lastly, for D - Yes, yes, you are clearly ever so busy - that's why you re-post and translate robotic pornography and rape on your blog and offer your services for them instead of acting like a decent human being. You cannot and will not be a proponent of debate or logic if you are a hypocrite and your arguments are based on shaky foundations. It is you, not I, who support and enjoy reading male rape, dubious consent, tentacle porn, and other Rule 34 tropes that are suited for 4chan. If you are such a proponent of debate as you claim to be, perhaps you'd realize that your premises are flawed, and so therefore, the argument is flawed.
I guess I'm not name-calling enough. Plus, shutting people's brains down is exactly why I do this. It gets them to cry. It gets them to think. And most of all, it gets them to cower.
"I actually enjoy to be proven wrong" - Is that so? It doesn't seem like it. What I gleamed from your posts is that you are a highly elusive deviant and degenerate and relish in it. You are no different than the Social Justice warriors you claim to be different from despite being one yourself. In the meantime, I'm waiting for you to respond to my initial objections. It really seems as if you're trying to mask the entire thing (strawman).
What a shame. Debates are framed by evidence, reason, rhetoric and most of all, logic, which you do not possess. Remember what you wrote; remember what you like. Do you not see why I have flamed you? It appears it has all been lost on you.
"You can go on incorrectly believing that you are right" - You said that I should do some research, which I did, and always do, and usually, my generalizations are bang on because I actually know what I am doing. As it turns out, I am in the end right, and you are wrong. Hopefully this meets your criteria, but as for me, you're a lost cause. You are illogical to begin with, so no more time shall be wasted.
- From a Believer in Sound Logic, Reason, and True Debate.
It gets worse as we go along. She finally snaps here.
I, Raelien, am a bad, bad fangirl who likes to read/write/translate bad, bad things. And I would make a list of those bad, bad things, except the list would be exceed the character limit, so let's just say pretty much everything short of stuff involving underage characters. (And maybe scat--that shit's nasty.) I am a sick, sick , and I am in excellent company. However, what I do is in no way normal, as that would likely be less fun. Today, I continue to crank up "Highway to Hell," as I have since I was but a wee lass, and keep on truckin'.
I would've thought this was rather self-evident, given the apparently exhaustive research you've done on my person, but if it needed to be said, it has been.
Now, where were we?
"I said that the characters were OOC, and that you wrote one groping another while drunk, pointing out that if the genders were reversed and if that were a female being groped, you would have a completely different reaction." SEE? If you'd stuck to expounding on these two points, you would have had moderately focused posts!
Context is key: complaining that a PWP drunksex kinkmeme fill is out of character is a bit like doing the same with gen crackfic. Any response I can possibly make to this point can be summed up with a single, atrocious word: duh. You got me. If you're looking for a brilliant, high quality fan novel, you're clearly in the wrong place, and you knew that going in. I'm just left mildly puzzled that you bothered pointing it out in the first place.
I'd glossed over this before, but I would happily read a het version of a fic like mine. Or a femslash version. I really dgaf; we just don't have as many options with the ladies in this franchise, though recently people have started writing some great stuff with Nautica. ; ) If we're talking about Real Life with Actual People (look carefully now, we're crossing the mystical border between fantasy and reality!), you bet your ass I'd have a problem with some guy directing unwanted groping at myself or a female friend, and, as I am a not an idiot, I would have just as much problem with said guy directing unwanted groping at my brother or male friend. Replace some guy with some lady, and (gasp!) same results. Creepy behavior is creepy behavior, and I don't really care who the target or perpetrator is; anybody who does deserves everything you spew at them.
"You seem blissfully unaware of how long I have been doing this," you betcha. It seems I was right not to care, given the clear example of experience frequently not equating to skill. Plenty of people who've been drawing for decades still suck at it, for instance.
OK, the obsession thing; let's tackle it. Let me try to frame this situation from my perspective in a way that makes sense. From my side of the fence, it looks a lot like a right-handed person going around telling left-handed people who write about left-handed characters that they KNOW NOTHING about left-handedness but are clearly obsessed with it. I am quite sure it seems VERY different from your side, maybe replace left-handedness with crack addiction, but at least you can /kind/ of see why I'm left a little speechless on this one.
This is the first time I've seen you mention the content being beyond what's currently permitted on the site according to the rules, and I would have been quick to acknowledge this as a valid point had you brought it up earlier. Alas, it was not always so, and some of us who still remember the lightbulb logo halfheartedly attempt to maintain our corner of the M section, away from all the kiddie eyes. Policy is policy, though, so if stuff gets yanked, it gets yanked. We've always had other platforms.
"Lots of people believe I am a troll because they cannot handle the fact that people like me exist in real life." Please. If people couldn't handle that, we wouldn't be able to go about our daily lives. I went to school with you. I work alongside you. I see you at family reunions. People like you are everywhere; many of them just go about life bringing their offense to people's faces instead of their FF.N inboxes.
"For the third: avoiding the name calling. I'll accept this as 'be nicer'." Nope, it was really "Don't make yourself look like a dumb f.uck to everybody who isn't an impressionable 13-year-old." Except I wanted to avoid name calling. Whoops.
You keep saying that you're a logic master a lot more than /showing/ that you're one. I told you pretty flat out that I wasn't addressing your myriad initial points because of the way they were presented, etc. You endlessly jamming words in my mouth and then attacking some distorted version of my views is a much clearer example of a straw man. "You said that I should do some research, which I did, and always do, and usually, my generalizations are bang on because I actually know what I am doing." This seems very telling to me--that I suggested researching points you brought up about which you seemed rather unknowledgeable (coming from my frame of reference), and instead you took it as an incentive to look up more info on me instead. Making a discussion about (often completely irrelevant aspects of) your opponent instead of sticking to topics of substance is the very essence of ad hominem. I mean, playing the "ugly" card--really? It makes it very difficult to take you seriously, but I've tried, I swear. Lest the hypocrite card come out yet again, I'm fully aware that I haven't stuck to whatever the numerous original points were over the course of this meandering discussion, but that's pretty much just been to refute the random accusation or to attempt to futilely raise the coherency bar.
"Plus, shutting people's brains down is exactly why I do this. It gets them to cry. It gets them to think. And most of all, it gets them to cower." You do realize this makes you a near epitome of a troll, right? Why bother answering with the debate front at all? It's like you're wearing a cheap costume three sizes too big. The insecure ones may cry and cower, but they get older, they get over it, and they come back writing even kinker fic. And they have the rest of us cheering them on much more loudly than the malcontents can whine.
I guess I might seem like a feminist to somebody who doesn't know a lot of feminists, but darn it, the actual self-identified feminists deny me access to their club for enjoying action movies, Lana Del Rey, and kinky as doujinshi way too much. C'est la vie. A note about Social Justice Warriors (and why they get poked fun at by the rest of their community): they willfully look for things to get, for the lack of a better word, butthurt over--often things others are enjoying that don't affect /them/ at all. They frequently claim that these things are disgusting and dangerous, and they are 100% RIGHT about these things. Not much point in discussion, because dissenters are already completely wrong before any discussion starts. Forgive me if this sounds familiar.
You did get something absolutely right: I'm comfortable with myself, my hobbies, my abilities, and my preferences (rapey robo porn and all!), and I don't particularly care who knows it. I can only wish you the chance to know the same freedom--it's marvelous.
You told me in the beginning to get out of your America, but guess what? The "slash fangirls" are just as much a part of this country as you are, and if you've been watching legislation the past several years, you know which way support for gay rights is moving. Meanwhile, those vehemently opposed to homosexuality and women expressing their (deviant!) sexuality might find their cultural values better reflected in areas of the Middle East. Or, you know, they could just learn to tolerate or avoid people they don't agree with. Whichever.
FYIAD!
I was debating to myself whether or not to answer, but a part of me said: 'Do it, do it!' and lo and behold, I got the answer I was looking for.
"SEE? If you'd stuck to expounding on these two points, you would have had moderately focused posts!" - I did. Guess you forgot in the first reviews.
But as we go along, we get the classic, ever so old, 'it's just fiction' argument. I shall tackle that gladly.
"Context is key: complaining that a PWP drunksex kinkmeme fill is out of character is a bit like doing the same with gen y response I can possibly make to this point can be summed up with a single, atrocious word: duh. You got me. If you're looking for a brilliant, high quality fan novel, you're clearly in the wrong place, and you knew that going in. I'm just left mildly puzzled that you bothered pointing it out in the first place." - Now here's where you crack. You're using the 'don't like/don't read' argument. I obviously won't know what a story is going to be like if I haven't read it, and of course I'm going to review. After all, you ask for them, so I will deliver. Plus, as for the 'duh' comment, I will respond to that with 'no shit, retard.' It is not your property, and therefore, you are obliged to follow copyright rules and adhere to canon. Not only that, but I didn't actively search for your badly written story - I found it by chance.
But you're right: context is key - too bad you have none of it.
"If we're talking about Real Life with Actual People (look carefully now, we're crossing the mystical border between fantasy and reality!), you bet your ass I'd have a problem with some guy directing unwanted groping at myself or a female friend, and, as I am a not an idiot, I would have just as much problem with said guy directing unwanted groping at my brother or male friend." - This argument is used a lot, and has no ground in reality. I heard a similar argument that said child pornography via artwork was not child pornography as it did not include real children. The same rhetoric applies here. It does not matter if it is real life or not; you wrote it, you like it, and therefore, would probably engage in it if you could. Writing is an expression of someone's thoughts. Your attempt to dismiss this premise makes me giggle.
"OK, the obsession thing; let's tackle it." - You never did. The comment on hands was a strange allusion, though.
"Nope, it was really "Don't make yourself look like a dumb to everybody who isn't an impressionable 13-year-old." Except I wanted to avoid name calling. Whoops." - Now, if you were honest, maybe we could start somewhere, but at least I rattled something out of you. Now here you are, promoting debate :)
"Alas, it was not always so, and some of us who still remember the lightbulb logo halfheartedly attempt to maintain our corner of the M section, away from all the kiddie eyes." - I guess you missed the 2012 purge where the FBI was responsible for purging the caches of child pornography. It doesn't matter if it is 'M' rated or not, all it takes is a click of a button. Those 'innocent kiddies' are only as responsible as the people who willingly put their filth on the Internet. The blame goes both ways, but those who produce the porn are the ones responsible, not the consumer.
"People like you are everywhere; many of them just go about life bringing their offense to people's faces instead of their FF.N inboxes." - Damn right we are. And wait until the Day of the Rope.
"You keep saying that you're a logic master a lot more than /showing/ that you're one. I told you pretty flat out that I wasn't addressing your myriad initial points because of the way they were presented, etc." - Inb4 'I won't debate with you because I don't have time/you're dumb/etc. I've had other people accuse me of strawmen, of moving the goal posts and whatnot, but the point remains: you did not address why I flamed your fic because you were 'confused'. Oh, hell, even those idiotic 13-year-olds know what I'm talking about. But you? Oh, Hell, you're pulling every logical fallacy in the book, from the Appeal to Authority, Tu Quoque, and missing the point entirely. When I pointed out you distorted canon, you replied: "Duh. That's the point of X". When I pointed out your hypocrisy, you ignored it, as evidenced by: "I'm fully aware that I haven't stuck to whatever the numerous original points were over the course of this meandering discussion."
If you believe that it's difficult for me to take you seriously, holy Hell, you've got me rolling. You were semi-serious to begin with, but you deteriorated as time went along. Like I said: I've gotten responses like yours, saying that I should be more focused or not do the name-calling, but there's a good statement about flamers: they hit you over the head with a crowbar, tell you what's wrong with your story, and then piss on them (the flamee).
"This seems very telling to me--that I suggested researching points you brought up about which you seemed rather unknowledgeable (coming from my frame of reference), and instead you took it as an incentive to look up more info on me instead." - I will confess outright that I was irked by your 'do some research' claim, because it implies that I have no clue what I'm doing or what my demographic is. You also suggested that I look into other human sexualities - a topic that I am well-versed in. Why did you think I flamed you?
And your other responses? Oh, aren't they golden.
"You do realize this makes you a near epitome of a troll, right?" - I am not a troll, my dear, but it flatters me to think that. Again, it's an excuse to dismiss any dissent, because OH MY GOD, people like this exist in real life.
"Why bother answering with the debate front at all? It's like you're wearing a cheap costume three sizes too big." - Implying that I am trolling
"The insecure ones may cry and cower, but they get older, they get over it, and they come back writing even kinker fic. And they have the rest of us cheering them on much more loudly than the malcontents can whine." - So you're pretty much saying that it is okay for people to be rape-lovers, paedophiles, and sick fucks, and that they shouldn't listen to the haters and just do as they please because they're not hurting anyone. Where have I heard that before? Plus, all your standards and logic fail under this statement, and you are no longer serious to begin with. This is the epitome of nihilism and savagery. You even admitted you are a paedophile. Why should anyone be respectful to you? You deserve to be called out, belittled, and thrown aside, and from what I know, the insecure ones just get more insecure, and they get viler. No matter. So long as people like me exist, they have a reason to cower.
You have not tried. If anyone has made the strawmen, it is you. If anyone is in denial, it is you. You are right; it is impossible to argue with degenerates such as yourself, because they are so deluded to begin with. You have no place to dictate what I should do in regards to reviewing when you are, by all accounts, someone who does not use that system herself.
"I don't care what people think of me and I don't care who knows it" - And that is the admission, people! Ah, you degenerates all say the same thing. Plus, unlike you, I don't actually just 'say' I use logic - I actually use it. Hence why I'm shaking my head at such a sad, backwards individual.
"Slash fangirls are as much a part of this country as you are...you know which way gay rights is moving" - Argumentum ad populum. There's no mention of entire nations such as Russia opposing homosexuality, and not a word about the totalitarian behaviour of the LGBT. Basically, it goes like this: 'If you're against us, you're part of the Old World!'
And lastly, "Or, you know, they could just learn to tolerate or avoid people they don't agree with. Whichever." - Implying those nations must accept homosexuality or else die. Nobody needs to 'tolerate' people who clearly are sick in the head, and whenever people try to avoid them, the so-called oppressed follow them! Also, in the Middle East, they hang homosexuals. They also like to sell women such as yourself in harems. Not only that, but you're pretty much saying that those who disagree with homosexuals are just like Middle Easterners. Really, really respectful to your people, hon.
Here you call me unacknowledged.
You believe no morality applies to you; that the rules don't apply, and pretty much give a middle finger to society. It takes a lot of mental fuckery to sit there and say: "Hey, I like underage robot porn! Aren't I cool?" It takes even more to say you're proud of it. If you ever wondered why I decided to use 'ad hominem' it was because it was deserved. I had no reason to respect you, and despite your sweeping comments, I will not tolerate or avoid these subjects, and others shouldn't either. Clearly, for a delusional woman such as yourself, the truth would only rub your wounds the wrong way.
By the way, you never proved how homosexuality was allegedly normal. Or how male rape is acceptable. Your hypocrisy still stands. If anyone needs to do the research, it is you. But your futile attempts at dismissing me only makes my ego grow bigger, and the 'I don't give a damn' sentence gives it all away. You support incest, rape, beastiality, xenophilia, and a whole horde of other fetishes. And what do you do? You relish in it.
If you think /I/ look like a dumb to non-impressionable people, look at what you look like to normal people! Holy f/ucking shit, what the Hell did I just read?
She went full retard. Never go full retard. Minor update: she thinks I'm a guy, and refers to my posts as 'desperate BS'. Totally winning, bro.
You offend me! - Blocked me before I could respond, used the usual rhetoric here:
Subject: So,
I managed to stumble across your delightful profile and I must say, it provided me with about thirty minutes of enjoyment to read. After thinking it over a little, I decided to write you, an obviously civil and broad minded person, a message telling you that whilst I am not at all offended by what you post (not that I condone it at all), I feel that you, my good friend, are an insufferable twat.
I don't know what time period you are unfortunately stranded in and how you have managed to gain access to the internet, but this is currently the twenty first century where things are a little different. I am not going to tell you what you can and cannot say, freedom of speech can be a wonderful thing, but it does not give you the right to say things like you do.
You appear to have some kind of irrational hatred towards anything that you deem to not be "normal", not that such a thing exists, and in order to deal with your quite obvious oppression of emotions in the real world, you unleash them upon poor, unsuspecting authors. I have also witnessed that you do not like it when people do things with characters and change them in a way that is not to your approval. Perhaps sometimes people do write OO...
You can't honestly expect me to read your drama llamas or fedora atheism if you block me. If anything it's too revealing for you.
I decided to post this because a lot of people send me messages like this without understanding that people have already said the same thing. Do not use the Freedom of Speech card when you cannot handle real free speech, and you can't tell me to sit down and shut up because I say something you do not like. Plus, you /are/ telling me what I can and cannot say. Lol.
Of course anybody against those poor fanfics authors must have some obvious oppression going on in their lives, because who would dare to hurt such innocent snowflakes? And lastly, for the OOC argument. How many times must I say this? You do not own your fandoms. Disclaimers cannot and will not protect you. Under copyright law you are required to honour the rules and regulations set by canon. Until you get some money and start lawsuits, you can't do jack shit.
"Not that such a thing (normal) exists" - Sounds like Shadowfeathers. She said the same thing. Au contraire, normal does exist: it's called Natural Law. Humans shun the abnormal because we see it as a threat, so it's an entirely natural reaction. Deal with it or go the Solzhenitsyn way.
I'm immune, silly - this one gets off to writing obscene amounts of rape, paedophilia, incest, and abuse, and doesn't think it's wrong. Initial message:
A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/8910037/
Sorry if I confused you with the kemonomimi theme; I thought it might be a fun take on the cast of Animated. Sort of like a more day-to-day version of Beast Wars. After all, the Transformers franchise is filled with war. Sometimes it's nice to imagine what their lives would be like before, after or even outside such conflict.
To answer your questions, I thought it would be appropriate to put them in clothes for an alternate reality within this theme. Secondly, the character First Aid was, yes, raped. He first said yes, but when he changed his mind, the second party would not stop and continued on; making this a case of rape.
Seeing as how robots don't have genders it is very feasible for the "females" to have s as well. After all, it's basically just external equipment and carries no biological standards.
I do apologize that everything else thus far has seemingly offended you, and since I believe you are attempting to give me constructive criticism, perhaps you'd kindly give me a list of things I can do to improve next time?
-C.M.D
I proceeded to tell her that what she was doing was wrong and that she was a bad writer. She refused to acknowledge this, instead saying that /I/ knew nothing about canon and that I am somehow horrible for raining on her rape-parade. Her last message was this:
Nope. Just wondrously immune darling *kiss* Perhaps you should stick to harassing underage children, seeing as you are unable to arouse many adults' ire.
She, along with the other butthurt, criticism-fearing idiots out there, has made a DA journal about me and even went Eric Holder to her local press. As if local newspapers have better things to do rather than listen to the ramblings of someone who gets off to such sick fetishes. See here. My response as follows:
You know, it's really, really something when people get this upset over legitimate criticism. For the record, it's not bullying or harassment when it is directed to what you are writing and what you are putting out there for the world to see. The fact that you see me as some sort of monster when you are writing what you are writing shows how f.ucked up some people are, and that some people really have no common sense.
You wrote rape, incest, and paedophilia en masse and didn't have anyone tell you otherwise, and you're getting upset that someone has burst your bubble. Get over it. You have a total of...six people supporting you and on the public stage you've made yourself look like a fool. Don't get angry when someone is telling you the truth you need to hear. The only people supporting you are fellow sick f.ucks that think I need to be more intelligent, but until they prove theirs, these are meaningless comments since that's the best you've got.
You are clearly a mentally ill and broken individual detached from reality and you go whine to police that have to deal with real criminals and real problems with your bullshit. It's clear the only niche you've found is one of backwards, mentally f.ucked up misfits that should be in a mental institution and not on the Internet spewing their crap.
Also, unless you suddenly age backwards, you're not a child. You're an adult. More than half the people I 'harass' aren't even children, though they act like them. Perhaps it is you, not I, that needs to reconsider their views on life.
Update: Ms. Fritzl send me this lovely message:
I know you can see this, I know you are watching. I know, you know, that I don't care. I have no problem with what you do, I have a problem with whom you do it with. You think me a fool for going to the media- very well. The point is not to punish you, for you don't even see your own crimes; the point is to protect an entire generation of young people from your ridiculous hate-spree. You are free to say what you want- you are not free to abuse children.
The attempt at actual conversation that I proposed was shot down by yourself, and your pride has turned the reality of our conversations into a woeful tale of your supposed failed charitable act of guidance. No matter.
Thank you for adding me to your list and for hating me so much. When you are ready to talk with an actual adult, I will be waiting. Until then, I will continue with my "foolish actions", I will continue writing and I will continue living contently with myself despite the "sins" you state I have committed.
Awareness is the friend of our children, siblings and comrades- you are not.
Have a good day, Fox.
Well, all I can say to this is: LMFAO.
Me-ouch. Your letter touches my soul! Such passion and prose that it melts my poor, rotten and black heart! Alas, this wouldn't even make it past my telomeres even if it were sincere.
Where to start? For one, if you, or anyone, thinks honest, legitimate criticism is a hate crime, then you're just one of a score of individuals both online and real-world that need to check their morals and learn that they're fucking idiots. Second, it's not at all a hate-spree if what I say is true, and if you want to dismiss it as racist, sexist and homophobic go right ahead - it still doesn't change the fact that it is the truth. It is only hate if the person on the receiving end says it is.
Thirdly, when have I ever abused children? Half or even seventy-five percent of the people I flame are adults like you. The age range is at least 20-24 to 16-20. Not at all children. That said, I find it immensely hypocritical how you claim to be for the interests of children when you write and normalize paedophilia. If that isn't shooting yourself in the foot, I don't know what is.
Fourthly, you may be an adult in age, but not in personality or maturity. I have been completely honest with you and amazingly civil by my own standards, and still you cannot grasp the fact that you are a disgusting individual who needs urgent help instead of spewing your shit on the Internet. What part of you writing obscene amounts of rape, both adult and child, do you not understand? If you are content with these traits: congratulations, you're a sub-human savage that needs to get the f/uck out of my country and learn a lesson in humility and civil behaviour. Anyone with traits like you that is proud of it needs a bullet to the skull.
Fifthly, your use of big words does not negate the fact that you were 'shocked and appalled' like a soccer mom at the things I had to say despite your claims you've seen everything on the Internet. If I offend you so, I can't imagine what reaction you'd get from actual people in the real world with nasty things to say. I'd expect an 'adult' as mature as yourself to be a tad bit smarter, because as of now, you're just another Friztl.
Lastly, if you honestly think you're crusading and protecting the younger generation from me, you're way beyond the wrong side of the tracks, hon. Because I'll tell you that most people won't give a shit and will forget about it ten minutes later because they have better things to do, and most of all, they won't flock to your side because they'll see what you've written and correctly conclude you're an insane, disgusting woman and go somewhere else.
But hey, you're right! Awareness is key, and the more ostracism you get, the better. Some people just don't like the truth and won't accept it when they see it, despite them asking for honesty. Oh, the wonders of hypocrisy.
This snippet comes from 'Sexually Repressed Blues', which is linked above. It is a reference to copyright:
I noticed a glaring, utterly hilarious flaw in The Fox Familiar’s argument. She claims that any derivation from the original cannon (AUs, making characters gay, etc.) are “illegal” and uses this academic paper (quoted below) as proof. However, here is an excerpt from the article that she cites as “proof”:
(See the paper linked earlier for excerpt.)
In other words, fanfics featuring characters getting all slashy with each other could potentially be seen as “transformative work” because many of the characters in question do not “behave” this way in cannon. Furthermore, the typical romantic structure of a slashfic is usually radically different, plot-wise, from the source material, also adding to its transformative status.
TL;DR
The Fox Familiar used an article stating that fanfics which differ greatly from the source material are more likely to be protected in court in order to “prove” that fanfics differing greatly from the source material are illegal, no questions asked. She then proceeds to make an ass of herself on a public website and throw temper tantrums about fictional characters being portrayed as gay.
My response, as these idiots couldn't tell apart a llama from a camel, and since they are too cowardly to take me on by themselves:
Actually, that is not a glaring flaw at all on my part, though it is a glaring flaw on yours. I doubt you read the article in its entirety, and it clearly states that fan-fiction is a copyright violation and that Free Use is the only thing that protects people from court hearings. Also, 'slash' cannot count as a Transformative Work, as you are still using other people's characters. Worse still, you are effectively taking that character, changing it to your own, and are, in extreme cases, plagiarizing. Note how the paper mentions that, and plagiarism is a big, big violation of the law.
The paper also linked isn't concrete in its thesis, going from 'it's okay to do this' to 'it's not okay to do this'. It clearly states that canon law matters greatly, and that fan-ficcers must respect it, hence why they are here on FFnet or AO3 in the first place. The characters, setting, and general plots are not yours, and as stated before, Free Use is the only reason why you are allowed to use it.
As for the entire homosexual thing, that is a matter of politics, and since these are not your characters, unless they are specially stated as homosexual as per the author's wishes, their sexuality should not be of any concern. If the characters are allowed to be interpreted however they wish, who's to say they can't all be insane, bomb-wielding terrorists, despite what the canon says? If anything goes, anything goes; there are no rules to follow.
Christ, you people are so easily taken apart. I don't even need to try. Canon is canon, people, and while I can tolerate logical, reasonable drifts from canon, in other cases, you will be criticized for not respecting the author's original work. If this was your head-canon or work that I wrote about and you complained that it wasn't canon, and I told you to f*ck off, I can do what I want, what would you say?
You'd say I wasn't respecting you and that you'd want your work honoured. Change the seats of power, and you'd be the one screaming at me for not upholding the dignity of your work.
So: no glaring flaws on my part, but lots on yours. It must be easy to sit on a Special Snowflake corner and act like a badass to other Special Snowflakes. It'd be great if you weren't talking to fellow imbeciles.
All the anon asks sound like they come from the same person. It wouldn't surprise me if they all did.
This next bit comes from catbounty, my Savonarola:
I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility that TFF is a woman. There’s a lot of women out there with internalized misogyny out there, TFF seems to pride herself on being “rational” and not one of those silly sluts.
Just something to keep in mind.
Internalized misogyny = being against feminism and recognizing it as evil and intellectually bankrupt. Plus, I am quite rational and have been complimented as such for a while. A rational person, such as myself, does not bother with trivial matters from untermeschen.

Usually I find you hilarious, but today I think you just overdid it. I got bored reading all of that really fast. Broken record, much?
Not even sexist or homophobic enough to post on Tumblr for laughs. Nice try though.
There goes that passive-aggressive behaviour. If you didn't want criticism on your works - don't post them. It isn't my fault that they're bad.
"I just got bored reading it" - Typical. What this usually translates to is, "You're too mean for me." It also shows that you can't take criticism and that you don't actually like people giving you reviews.
"Not even sexist or homophobic enough to post on tumblr" - Awww. That's too bad. What's funny though is that I pointed out your hypocrisy, and you don't even want to admit that. You don't even want to admit your mistakes. I don't think you find me hilarious. That's the word people use to dismiss me, but it's a clear indication of that passive-aggressive feminist POV, which you abide to a T.
Did you really get bored reading what I had to say, or did you just shut your ears because someone actually abode by your rules?
After all, it was you that said: 'Comments and criticisms greatly appreciated.' It's what I gave you. If you don't like that, don't post on a public forum.
Might as well go back and let other people do the thinking for you, considering the level of intelligence you've shown me ;)
Message # 2
Still not especially funny. I think you're losing your touch.
Try some new material next time.
The 'I find you hilarious' card is a typical card used by people of her calibre. They're not really laughing; in actuality they're offended that someone came along and popped their bubble. This one has a habit of associating herself with those more popular than her, and using their talent to boost her non-existent one.

For something that sucks, and for someone you apparently dislike because of my writing, you certainly took the time to waste to explain everything you hated. Kind of sad if you ask me. Dont much care if you like my writing or not, interesting considering you are reading chapter 7 of a story. Meaning you decided to wait until then to spew hate on it.
Not my problem if you like it or hate it. This is indeed a flame and not constructive criticism, youre just hating, just to hate and that makes you more pathetic than you claim me to be. I have my tastes and likes and dislikes and you have yours and it makes you pretty shitty person to tell others that their likes suck. And the fact you go through my profile just to mind more reasons to hate on me is pretty interesting thing to do, a childish and pathetic thing to do. Your homophobia is pretty ridiculous, being afraid of gay people is probably the most gayest thing to do.
Cant imagine you having any friends with that charming attitude of yours. Try to come up with better insults too, seem plenty of those before, and by the way. YOu message me again and start more pointless drama, ...
Ah, no proper table manners? I am heartbroken. I haven't had a guest in quite a time.
Mm, are we ungrateful for receiving the thing you asked for? Petulance, child, I suggest looking it up, as it fits you. It seems you are ungrateful in my presence; what flames I give have all the heart, passion, and undying distaste for the flamed, but I do offer some concrit because a flame is not complete without it. You got the best of both worlds, but alas, it didn't seem to resonate in that empty heart.
I am entitled to say that your likes suck; everyone does, and since I am on an entirely different plane as you, I can deduce that your intellectual prowess abates to little more than video games and comics. Not that that is bad in itself, but since you offered nothing in return it is fair to conclude that your intelligence is that of a second-grader. Try to open up your thoughts, mmm?
Au contraire, and I have said this before: I am not afraid of homosexuals. I simply disapprove of what they do and what they demand from society. I do not quiver in fear. But it seems that you are fond of mimicry, and since you cannot offer much in the way of tact, it's safe to conclude that what you get off to at the end of the day are women you cannot have eating the carpet.
You /did/ get that reference, didn't you?
Tsk tsk. These people do not change over time. Less tactful, more emotional. All the better to tear apart.

I'm Asexual, but I have a sex drive - If you're looking for a rape-fest from a Hispanic, asexual vegan, this girl is the one for you. Want an SJW lecture? Sit back and enjoy! Unfortunately, I was blocked, so here are the truncated messages:
Message One: A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12734405/
Wow, for someone who doesn't like this story you certainly spent a lot of time on it. If you don't like it, move on. Firstly, just because I'm asexual doesn't mean I don't know what sex is or how it works. Many asexuals do have sex because they enjoy it or want biological children, or just to please a non asexual partner. Just because you don't desire it/have a sex drive for it doesn't mean you don't do it. Secondly, this isn't about Muslims nor is copying anything from Muslims. Seeker culture actually is based off of primarily wolves and lions. I'm not basing them off human cultures, and most Muslims don't practice having multiple wives because most Muslims live in the US, England, Africa, etc. where the culture is different. Male lions have a harem of lionesses, they breed them all, and have as many babies as they can. To show strength and pass on genes to the next generation. As for Starscream being "wimpy," this is when he was young. If you do finish the fic (which I doubt) he becomes brave and fierce. Going off the IDW comics, Starscream is more reserved, peaceful, and gentle before Megatron ...
Message Two: A response to your review at https://www.fanfiction.net/r/12734405/ Abortion is murder and exploits women. It is the greatest attack on women and children, and even men, in modern days. I'm asexual. I have no fetish. He married them because he loved them. People do marry abusers. And you keep forgetting the culture Starscream grew up in. Only Seekers have this culture. Again, not based on Muslims. Humans are herbivores, NOT omnivores. Protein is found in ALL foods and leafy greens and legumes have 3 times the amount of protein than any dead flesh. Look up Ga-Maleven on deviantART to see my papers on veganism and all the scientific evidence on it that I share there, since I can't share links here. I literally have thousands of links. You're one vegan hate link is not evidence. Veganism is a lifestyle of peace and compassion for ALL. And eating plant-based is tastier, healthier, saves the planet, and no one dies. Cows are only producing milk because they are raped to make babies. Mammals don't produce milk unless they have a baby. Plants have all the nutrients we need. Humans are natural herbivores, other species are carnivores or omnivores. I never said to change...
This will be a multi-purpose response, since a block cuts me off from responding adequately. First, the Hispanic asexual vegan has a lot of explaining to do. First, asexuals insist that they are not interested in sex, yet according to the definition on Wikipedia, asexuals are completely capable of having sex drives and wanting biological children. This is in contradiction to the very word: 'asexual' means a being that is capable of sexual reproduction on its own, or a being that is incapable of having a sex drive whatsoever. If you're 'asexual', and you have a sex drive or want to have children, you are normal heterosexuals who want to see your genetic line continue.
Second, yes, it sounds a lot like Muslim culture and no, Muslim culture doesn't change no matter which country it is found in. If you're basing your story on wolf behaviour, then the whole notion of 'alpha' and harems is a loose interpretation of said behaviour. Lions may take multiple mates, but the females dominate. The Alpha female wolf is the one who dominates her mate, and decides whether or not she will bear his pups.
Third, I will offend some pro-life readers here, but abortion does indeed happen in nature and it happens frequently. Among human women, miscarriages are called 'spontaneous abortions', and are largely caused by genetic malformations. Chimpanzees and other primates will consume plants to inhibit pregnancy. To human women, abortion and plants to induce abortion have been consumed even when we were primordial hominids. In the early 20th century, during the age of eugenics, it was understood that abortion could limit births of Low IQ children, eliminate children with deformities, and generally, promote the health of the population. In Stalin's Russia and National Socialist Germany, abortion was discouraged, but allowed in the case of rape and suspected deformity. If abortion is murder to an asexual, Hispanic abuse victim, then surely you will be mighty offended at the women who, forced against the wall, had to have one. It is an immensely difficult choice to make, and for rape victims it is immensely difficult. For someone who wants to 'raise awareness', deny even talk about such an important choice, is self deprecating.
Lastly, on veganism. Yes, we had vegetarian ancestors. They went extinct. No, there is not enough protein in plants and legumes. Legumes contain isoflavones, which act as a natural birth control mechanism. Without the presence of other dietary nutrients, the individual eating these legumes will be effectively unable to bear young or produce healthy sperm. An eight ounce steak has more protein than several bowls of legumes. Your 'earth saving' diet still requires crops that need water and soil, and with no animals to produce manure, your soil will be stripped of its nutrients. You will need to kill a massive amount of animals, wildlife included, to maintain your crops. Literally, 'thousands' of studies show that we evolved to be omnivores. You want to be vegan? Go ahead - prefer your in-group and look like a Sobibor victim. To sum up, an asexual Hispanic abuse victim who has 'no fetish' writing nothing but rape and abuse and yet paints her protagonist as becoming 'strong and willful' by the end is insulting to anything with an IQ above room temperature. You're not educating anyone. You're not proving anything. You're just showing that you're not really asexual, but a 20-something college student who thinks her rape fetish will earn her SJW points. Try shipping your story to Larry Nasser's victims. See how they react.
Hispanic asexual vegans. You really don't get enough of that minority grievance.
I'm an English BA, don't you dare criticize me:
Actually, I'd rather not know. Upon further inspection, you're a sheepish, homophobic right-wing troll who loves inflammatory responses and speaks in purple prose to make it seem like he's smart. In reality, you're a lonely, bored individual with little personal merit, following the footsteps of other people's opinions without any self-reflection or ability to think your own way. You've constructed your own nonsensical way of thinking that makes you think you're better and smarter with your big boy IQ points, but you're really just autistic and holier-than-thou in a way that makes you seem repulsive to everyone around you, including random strangers on the internet. Your critique held no literary merit and was full of absolute nonsense, and this is coming from someone with an English BA. Here's a tip; a critique means nothing to an author if it's contrived of material that reads off as a middle schooler trying to write what they think good gothic poetry sounds like. No surprise you have none of your work posted. No one actually gives a single waking care to someone who can't even post their writing to back up how smart and well-written they think they are. All you did was feed into the requests of a troll who was using...(message truncated due to block).
Look, I get it. You're a proud English major with nothing better to do than huff and puff. What can I say? Learn to Code.
It's too bad you blocked me. Anyways, deflection isn't going to help you. If you aren't aware of what purple prose is, and what writing constitutes purple prose, and then use it on a reviewer who was not that harsh towards you, that's entirely on you. Then again, your attitude completely changed once you found out what my political views are. Almost as if you're instantly triggered when someone has a different opinion than you. 'Critique means nothing if it comes from a middle schooler' - Look, sugar. I get it. You're angry, you're throwing a fit, you're literally triggered. And you don't want criticism. You probably sobbed to your professors when the red ink came back on your feminist essay. You probably thought deflection would make you feel better, but it says a lot more about you than it does about me. Isn't it amusing, if not hypocritical, for an English BA major to demand people be open-minded when she cannot comprehend the views of a 'right winger'? The tumblrisms, my dude. Get off of them.
Learn to code.

Here's a showcase of some nutcases I've wrangled recently and in the past. They're linked above near the top of my profile, but I'll give a rundown here. I'll update it when I find more authors.
Acteon Carolsfeld - claims to be a feminist yet writes nothing but rape, includes no female characters and has an entire blog on her ridiculous headcanon. She pretends to be a he on her Facebook, has 'voice acting' that will rape your ears, and has drawings that make all male characters, human or otherwise, look like women. Overall, untalented, bratty, and delusional as hell. Only gave one-sentence replies to my flames.
femme4jack - I reviewed one of her stories that can't even be called a flame. She immediately blocked me. She is all over the Internet, uses the same moniker, and writes anything from obscene rape, to bestiality. She is married and has two children. Claims to be political and historical but probably can't tell me who wrote 'The Little Red Book'.
Deathcomes4u - one of those tumblr brainchilds that thinks they're bisexual. Hates white people despite being white herself, is in her mid-twenties and managed to flunk jewellery class. Took an animation course and yet it all looks like shit.
LadyDragon76 - if you ever needed an excuse as to how modern education has failed, look no further. An ardent feminist that reblogs Gail Dines and begs apologies for any hint of sexism, she goes on to write obscene rape stories involving male characters. Got high marks on some social education or other, but is otherwise completely clueless. Likes to stuff the Cheetos, though. With almost 500 stories under her belt, and millions of words, she is the definition of one that has nothing important to say, and so must speak more to remain the focus of attention. Artwork for her varies on the awful to downright tracing. A complete SJW, she has no rationality whatsoever.
Not-Poignant* - An Aussie who admits she has severe mental defects, and whose boyfriend (if he is still with her) reads real books. She writes 'erotic' fantasy stories involving horribly named and horribly researched themes, but the real problem here is that she is a rape supporter. She lives on disability, yet demands more than 500 dollars (US) for each chapter just to 'survive'. Says she is an award-winning author, editor, and script-writer with a university degree. So self-centered as to use her own works to create crossovers with other fandoms, and has fanart that varies from Shit All Same to moderately blinding.
She is an LGBT author with all the grace of Marion Zimmer Bradley. If you haven't followed Bradley's story, look no further - she molested her own daughter. The asterisk is there because this one is a real piece of human filth, as she asks for money from gullible people when all she does is write gay rape. Whoever gave her the degree or an award should be ashamed, but there will be no recompense. Her is under the same name. Don't ever give a dollar to a rapist, people.
