tencrushThe meme has a troll! Yay troll! I'd say trolling is bad but in this case I'm willing to make an exception. I still wish they would permanently turn IP logging on, A) so I can prove it's not me and B) because that would make anon wankers possibly stop being such fucking cunts to people. Not that it would, but still.
This week in memery, someone posted this:
on the meme for luls. Yes, the link went directly to the picture in my gallery, no context, nothing. (Context is here, btw, and the pic was made by whoever owns the fanbot.net domain.) Anyways, yeah, it weirds me out a bit when stuff of mine ("mine" in the loosest possible sense, obviously) is posted to the meme, especially when there's no context, and especially when it's as old as this, if only because it means that someone out there has been trawling either my archives or my galleries looking for something to repost at the meme. That someone is a dickhead, you know? Just sayin'.
Anyway, funnily enough, there was a comment to this pic on the meme that said something along the lines of "Why are you stalking her?" Her being me, obvs. I don't know who left that comment, but it would seem to be the one they call Meme Nanny. Meme Nanny has a point. Not that I feel particularly stalked on this occasion, but when it boils down to it, it is kind of obsessive and, above all, fucking pathetic. So there's that, picture posting anon. Why don't you just fuck off? (Just for more context, I post a lot of pictures on my livejournal, the vast majority of which are mine, but even if they're not, I always upload them into my own LJ gallery and credit them in the post I've uploaded them for, simply because I think linking to other people's galleries is a bit intrusive, and leeching bandwidth from other people's picture accounts is evil. This does, however, mean that anyone who keeps stats or anything like that on their pics would never know that I was reposting them on my journal. This bugs me a bit, because it also feels a bit evil, but it feels slightly less evil than grabbing images directly from other people's accounts. Which is why I always credit and link as much as I can. I don't really think either way is ideal. I've digressed on the sensitive topic of netiquette, I know. Sorry.)
Why am I still posting about the cesspit that is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
who_anon? Well, quite simply, guys, there's people, like Trolly McTroll today, coming out of the woodwork now on that place who do seem to agree with me that the meme is full of anon wankers using their anonymity to be cunts about other fans. And while I might not agree with the manner in which those people express their distaste with the meme, and while I think those people should have the fucking balls to stop being anon already and just show themselves, on the other hand I can understand not wanting to reveal your name to your interwebs friends who might be on there. And with regards to trolling, I don't like it because I think it gives the mods a headache, but frankly when those same mods delete perfectly reasonable comments along the lines of "Why can't you people just be decent to other people?" I can well understand that after a while you'd just resort to trolling and being annoying. The mods have a pro-meme bias, which is understandable, but it's also bound to lead to this sort of shit. I've seen loads of comments on the meme this week telling anons off for being stalkery wankers, a lot of them are being deleted, but I have seen them, meme crusaders. I like to think that, simply because I just AM that famous and influential (right? right?), I played a small part in that. Not the trolling, mind. Trolling is bad, mkay? Well... lulsy and bad. I will now do a small snigger, but I'll hide it behind my hand so nobody sees, yeah? *snigger*
*waves at meme*
I never said anything about sunbeams, tossbag. As long as random anon wankers keep trawling my journal (and again, guys, what, like 10 minutes for the linkback? Pretty good going!) for no reason, I'm going to keep reading yours. It's fucking hilarious.

Date: 2009-12-01 12:41 am (UTC)But then, in the morning, any evidence of any points I've brought up wind up deleted, and the meme clusters together to praise the mods and talk about how much they love the meme, so, after what must be the 4th or 5th time I've done something like this, I don't know how well my tactics are really working.
Hmm... The problem with who_anon is that they're incredibly hard to fight. Fighting on their own playing field may help change a few minds (until the mods come along and start deleting stuff), and drive a few people away who don't want to be around for the 'trolling' and IP reporting, but in the end it winds up being just a waste of time, and is also a bit counterproductive, because any kind of wank = more comments on the meme, and I don't want more comments on the meme... I want them to shrivel away and die.
Will a boycott work, though? I'm very versed in all sorts of boycotts of various things for various causes, and those do work, because the companies lose money when people won't buy their product... I'm not sure what who_anon's loss is, in this care. Clearly, they don't want us around their meme so they see it as a bit of a win/win. But, on the other hand, some anons find my attempts to be just entertainment to them... they like it when the meme gets crazy and wanky. So definitely boycotting them will make the meme boring, and decrease the amount of activity there.
Gah, I wish I could just go the picket signs, chants, and petitions route that I'm used to when it comes to protests XP
At any rate, I applaud both you and tencrush for your efforts on this whole thing, and I think I'll attempt to *actually* boycott it for more than one day and see what happens. Hopefully, like you said, the shoal will just up and die on its own.
And yes, this is very much a sock. Why? Because while I don't really care what the anons think of me (they already do hate me, for other reasons, and thus was when I began to hate them ages ago) I don't want my flist to ever get wind of my involvement with the meme. Because yeah, those are two separate parts of my fannish involvement and I'd like to keep them separate, thanks.
