It's rather civil. I need a bingo card, though.

Edit: what the hell tell me that's one of you trolling. That isn't even a bingo square where did it come from.

Oh, well, I fail then. Whatevs. It's not a particularly intelligent or anonymous threadline anyway.

It's a good thing you're not in the fandom, I'm pretty sure the one bitching about my critique failings is a particular BNF.

That only makes it more fun!

Really? Who do you think it is?

Someone popped up about the Hemostuck review on one of the last complaint threads who sounded like they were talking from the POV of the author, and part of what they objected to was how disorganized my review was and how it was bad to review as I went.

And now we have someone making that exact same complaint (and when that's one of very few stories to get such a comment). And they definitely sound like someone reasonably used to fandom arguments and critique, but also very used to being able to tell someone exactly what the appropriate way of doing so is.

I figured as much, but there are two authors of Hemostuck. Shelby (wearesexy) and Taz (urbananchorite), I think. IME, Shelby seems more like the type to be this kind of wanky. I like Taz, as much as I dislike Hemostuck, so I would be disappointed if it were her.

I know, but I can't tell the difference between them because I don't pay attention. All I know is it's almost certainly related to Hemostuck because the Pretty Little Windstorm is about the only review someone would be acting like this over. It might not be either of them but just someone in their circle, even.

...well I was wrong anyway. The "Shelby" that's always working with urbananchorite is the artist duedlyfirearms, not her coauthor for Hemostuck, wecansexy, who is the person I can't help but side-eye after their comments on Kanaya/Eridan and Eridan in general. God how do people keep all of these BNFs straight? The only one I ever really bothered to follow was Taz.

I've found that everyone important in fandom seems to have terrible opinions I hate, so ignorance has been pretty blissful. Are the people who say dumb things on tumblr the same as those writing stories? Apparently, but as long as I can't match them up it can't annoy me.
