who_anon, GIVE IT A FUCKING REST ALREADY. I defended Kate Orman's way of writing and thinking once because she was my friend, not just LJ-friend, but Christmas-card-style friend. She defriended me because I didn't like Children of Earth or probably because I called RTD a hack or something, but I still stand by what I said, she analyses things way too carefully, that how she tries to understand stuff. The way she does that and the things she says while doing it have a tendency to offend people because it comes across as extremely patronising. She means well, but she doesn't express herself too well. Whether or not she's a racist is a debate I don't have an opinion on. Calling me a racist for once attempting to defend someone I thought was my friend is fucking pathetic. SO GIVE IT A REST ALREADY. YOU ARE ALL FUCKING PATHETIC.
Secondly: OH MY INBOX RUNNETH OVER.
Okay, let me make my position absolutely clear here: I have nothing against the Save Coffee Boy community. I have nothing against the Children in Need campaign. I love everyone who's trying to bring Ianto back, who is passionate about it, I fully understand where those people are coming from and you'll get no hate from me, I miss him too. I MISS IANTO JONES, OKAY? I do.
BUT. I am angry that thesavecoffeeboy community has gone members only, and while being members only, has done stuff, in secret, that we non-members knew nothing about, that involved us. In my case, my words were quoted in the SIJReport, an image I made was used, a section of text was quoted from savecoffeeboy that implies one can support their campaign to bring back Ianto by donating to the pony fund. That's not true. I am upset that I have been made to look like I am a part of a group of people who would spend their precious time putting together a 436-page PDF report on a fictional character, why? Because it makes me look like my priorities are fucking skewed. It supports people like RTD who say "can't you spend your time actually going to make a difference out there in the real world?" Because that's true. Because when you put this much effort into a pointless fannish thing, seriously guys, THAT ACCUSATION IS PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED. I am upset because of the blatant misogyny in the report, I feel tainted by it by having my name in it. They took my name, and by not being able to write a coherent report, made it look like I was a part of their campaign. It's not the report so much that offends me, it's the complete incoherency of it. It's not clear whether it's ABOUT savecoffeeboy or if it's been WRITTEN BY savecoffeeboy, it's not made clear whether the people quoted support the aims of SCB or whether they're just randomly quoted for no reason. The entire report is so incoherent it renders everyone mentioned in it completely moronic. And I'm fucking upset about that, you bet I am. You can take me out now, but it's too late, you've sent it to the BBC and made me look like an idiot. Luckily, I'm not one of the people whose actual personal photos you reproduced, because if one of those people were to, for instance, apply for a job at the BBC, they'd be pointed and laughed at. (And don't think for a minute this report is going to get binned by the BEEB because it's ridic. It's not often an office gets sent 436 pages of luls to pass around. And around.)
Yes, report authors, I am angry. I have every right to be angry, so stop telling me I don't. I am angry I'm mentioned in this and you never asked if that was okay. I am righteously fucking angry that THIS is the book you rudely gave to JB at collectormania before stomping off, my name is in this, it looks like I endorse that kind of PATHETIC behaviour. I AM ANGRY. This is how I react when I'm angry, so I guess you just picked the wrong person to blockquote. Sorry about that.
Mostly, I'm offended that something has been put out there into the world that makes it look like I, tencrush, whelk to her friends, would willingly be a part of any document that uses and abuses SO MANY FUCKING FONTS. I feel dirty.
