continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

What I struggle to understand is why it's fine and dandy to discuss Winterfox, a huge asshole, every post, but discussing Thatfucker and his continued abuse of people in fandom is "exhausting" for the mods. Winterfox's threads are often longer and far wankier, but they rarely lead to freezing and banning of the topic AFAIK. It seems to me that it's just a case of the mods having a preference for one wank and mostly disinterest in the other.

And I've noticed the freeze fingers are getting twitchier, too. I've had completely innocuous things get frozen and been honestly surprised, but I'd never complain because the only thing I'd get out of it is more freezing and a dozen "butthurt!" replies. It's annoying.

It's annoying.

It is, and I didn't realize how much until I came here and started posting. I've been able to mention facts and post things that would be screened or frozen on FA, but -- amazingly! -- they have not led to wank.

I'm going to guess it's the transwank factor. I mean, I'm annoyed they've been freezing posts about delwynmarch on sight, but they all but confirmed that policy stemmed from the time two anons got into a slapfight about More Trans Than Thou.

That said, I have no fucking clue why they froze comments about Aja and CC a few posts back.

I think that's a shitty policy. They shouldn't allow two people behaving badly to get an entire subject banned from discussion.

The Aja and CC thing was just for mentioning the city they were living in.

[(Anonymous)]

Which is so ridiculous, because they both talk openly about living there and have for a long time.

Right? What a silly overreaction.

And it's not like NYC is some little podunk place with 15 people and 30 goats. It's one of the biggest cities in the world--LOTS of people live there.

[(Anonymous)]

Also, it's not like Aja and CC are confined to fandom. They are public figures now. I don't think they'd freeze a thread for mentioning the city any other authors or "journalists" lived in; it would be silly.

I just wrote something like that below, so YES! Also wf is clearly reading everything meme writes about her and so are her minions, and she and meme keep reacting to each other and everyone treats it like it's hilarious. Andy is dangerous to people mostly on a one-to-one level, I think, but winterfox has seriously fucked up the online sff community. If I were a mod I'd have more of an itchy trigger finger about her. If Andy is like the addict who will help you look for your wallet, winterfox is like....the sociopath who will tell your boss you're a racist stalker, or something.
