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.

Re: So, Andy has "watchers" again. Remember when he promised that would never happen again?

He would be told to avoid fandom, and writing, and look for other pastimes.

I actually can't think of a better example of what NOT to do than the Bucky journals.

-Pretend to be a fictional character, with a declared history of delusions about actually being fictional characters - Check.

-Pretend to be a character pursued by the government, Andy's former "great delusion" - Check.

-Pretend to be a character who behaves violently, when you claim your delusions have led you to abuse people in the past - Check.

-Pretend to be a character involved in military or paramilitary activities, another delusion of Andy's - or wait, was that just a lie? Has Andy ever admitted that both his IRA ties and "100% Irish ancestry" are bullshit? See below:

Honestly, this is like an alcoholic "in recovery" walking into a bar, ordering a bunch of drinks for himself and asking the friends with him to inform him if they think he's relapsing.

I've been put in that position before. It really clarifies to me how terrible this is, and even then the people who did it (I used to be a goddamn magnet for stuff like this) weren't in danger of starting cults!
