(actually, I'm thinking I need a "Bitch, please" icon to deal with Telkena)

eta: And. She has fans. It's scary.

Ahem.

Dear Feminists who ranted about the depiction of women in Sin City. Get your panties out of their twist and GO AFTER AUTHORS LIKE TELKENA, who is doing nothing but raping canon, her characters, and portraying Sam Carter as a woman who likes to be abused and raped.

kthnxbai.

See, that just... Dude. HOW did she escape from the mental ward?

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

Psychologist I can buy. I've known a few of them, and they either genuinely feel a call to help people, or omfg, they need help themselves, badly, and got into the profession that way.

[fallenbelle.livejournal.com]

*nods* Exactly. Some of the most fucked up people I knew back in college were Psych majors.

Note: I'm generalizing. I know that all Psych majors are not psycho, so please don't flame me.

There was a fire alarm and she legged it in the confusion?

[stexgirl2000.livejournal.com]

Wha?

No fucking way.

Then again, I have LJ friends who work/worked for the APA, and hoo boy, they have a ton of wacky customer service stories...

So it could be true.

I emailed her once with some spelling corrections (everytime I see 'loose' for 'lose' I want to scream), and she told English isn't her first language. *shrugs*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Which, honestly, makes sense... There's phrasing she uses that points to it (although I thought she'd said once that english was her first language. Hrm... oh well)

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

Totally. She needs a good, English-speaking beta, though that's probably not enough, but at least her writing would flow a bit more smoothly. Um, it always helps

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

She needs a beta, period.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

yeah, well, don't look at me. I have limits. And they have been far exceeded by her.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

It's good to have that verified, at least.

I find it impossible to believe she's a medical professional. I can't imagine anyone who's actually dealt with the victims of physical/sexual abuse saying, "Well, hey, at least he loves you and you love him. Imagine how much worse it would be if you didn't love each other."

[thatpalebluedot.livejournal.com]

Yah. No way. No way whatsoever. Perhaps psychologist, but only in the sense of MAYBE having graduated with a Bachelor's degree in psychology. Not in the sense of in ANY way being a licensed psych, let alone a pscyhatrist with a medical degree.

In my oh, so, very official, social worker opinion.

(And I AM a social worker. With a Master's Degree in Social Work. Easily googlable and verifiable.)

*goes to make Lyssie an icon*

*squee*

*clings to Hly, who is a good person*

Listen to the Hly, she speaks the truth.

[redstarrobot.livejournal.com]

That's an advanced medical degree, I dunno. Not the easiest thing in the world to get. And there's no way, if she were, that she'd view rape as just "a bad affair" that wouldn't put a woman off a man. Victim mentality is a form of mental illness. If she were a psychiatrist, she'd be treating people who'd been abused and raped, and she sure as hell wouldn't be saying "Don't give up on him if you love him, that's okay, then".

See, stupid people claiming to be psychiatrists are part of why the field has a bad reputation.

TELKENA IS A PSYCHIATRIST?

When I read that I burst out laughing. Oh, Telkena? LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!!!

*clears throat and grows up again*

Most psychiatrists have *some* clue about the effects of sexual assault...

A psychiatrist's receptionist, maybe.

[lytarules.livejournal.com]

It's flocked! *sobs in despair*

Friend me? *puppy eyes* I'm only scary some of the time, I promise!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

omg her friendssockpuppets might find it! Eek!

Oh well. Maybe we can scare her off the internet for life.

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

I missed the window. *curses* Friend me, and you can undo it in the morning?

[jemster.livejournal.com]

Has anyone ASKED her her credentials???

[tarzanic.livejournal.com]

I call bullshit. If she were a psychiatrist and conducts anything in her practice the way she does in writing fic, she would have lost her license by now. (Yes, division of online life and real life, but um, no. Bull-freaking-shit.)
