olorielFine. I deleted yesterday's rant, but today, it's going on air. Let there be Drama.
"It really sucks when a canon character, particularly a major one, is OOC."
Which totally doesn't apply to at least half the characters, even the major ones in their respective canons, on DF. Oh, no. Of course not. Especially not those your puppets like to interact with. Or those of your clique. Never.
"And the way she treats people that she should respect-"
Whom, please?
"The worst example was the dog-petting thing, really"
And that is necessarily OOC? Because someone who tries to convert people's way of treating house-elves would never ever tell them how to treat animals? Sorry, I don't get it.
"If we're thinking of the same person, then she hadn't even read the bloody books when she joined."
Has our dearly beloved Eöl- and Saeros-typist ever read the Silm? Just asking. Or did she just need every possible reminder about the character because it's so far in the past and she can't remember anything?
Would you swear that all of our LesMis muns have actually read the book/s, or don't you think one or two might just be running on the musical and/or one of the many movies?
By the way: She had.
"...especially about her trying to break the magical rules of the universe."
PROVE. IT.
Seriously? The last thing one needs are immature, inane, selfish teenagers, who stick only to the rules they like or made up themselves, who're incapable of getting their own lives sorted out and wine about not being respected when they've done nothing to deserve respect, telling them what to do.
And let me just add something entirely for myself, because I've been swallowing it for far too long:
YOUR. PRESETS. ARE. NOT. FUNNY. ANYMORE. They were never really funny, and now that the amusement has worn off, they're really just annoying.
The same goes for the Eruawful "your mom" joke, which wasn't even funny when I was in kindergarten and CERTAINLY shouldn't be funny amongst people who have been out of kindergarten for a while.
Also for "O RLY", but that's not your fault alone, so I'll let that pass.
Anyway, rule of thumb - and listen up now, because this might be important:
Passing fads are only funny as long as they gracefully pass when their time to die has come at last.
You know what? Excuse my Middle English, but FUCK YOU.

*sigh*
I'm not in the middle of this particular storm, but there a lot of people I think of friends very divided on this one.
I am pretty uncomfortable with a lot of what goes on in OOC, but I mostly ignore it. I feel like no one but close friends want to play with me. Maybe a lot of us do.
*sighs again*

Date: 2006-04-20 06:29 am (UTC)It's ok to be divided on an issue, and it's ok not to like everybody - I have my people on DF whom I don't like, too - but attacking someone cruelly, in a place where they can't even defend themselves, where every meaningful discussion is blocked by the purpose of the community, that's just plain unfair and not just a bit cowardly.
Yes. And lo, one of the few typists whose character's actually willing to interact with anybody gets flamed...

Date: 2006-04-20 12:17 pm (UTC)And my personal bugaboo lately is how many people are telling me--not Armand--how much they dislike Chris and think he's wrong for him. It's been common knowledge since December that they were going to get married. Maybe Armand hasn't been very vocal about why he wants to be with Chris, but for Eru's sake, they're getting married in THREE DAYS! Now is not the time to complain, esp. when you won't even get a puppet to take it to the puppet.
And I don't mean you, Lyra. Feanor is one of the few people who has talked to Armand about Chris's weaknesses, though he doesn't seem to understand Armand's reasons for tolerating them.
