Entertaining in a Disturbing Way

So, I was boredly poking around the internet and I found A beginner's guide to fandom. So I read it. And came across the following question and the author's answer.

And then I saw red.
( mostly for profanity )

I managed to marathon my way through series two (and the last episode of series one) over the weekend. and... I have thoughts.

I don't know, is season two still considered an "OMG SPOILERCUT"? Eh.

I was watching to meet the Harvelles.

This trolly secret got posted to f!s today, and I'm... a bit annoyed. Sure, it's a troll. But the underlying message: that it's ok to celebrate a female character's death because she dumped your whoobie is... pissing me off.

So. What did Dee do to Billy?

How to fail at a convention:

1. Anyone buying a full weekend membership receives an ugly wristband. Don't bother with the slightly less failtastic badges, because those might actually look classy. Your convention-goers are probably basement-dwelling gamers who don't bathe anyway.

2. Charge for 'parties'. This makes certain the casual fan who might be interested will get bored and do other things at night (like write porn).

3. When putting on a 'slave' auction, be sure to joke about how getting women drunk so they can't remember having sex with you is awesome. Making the joke multiple times will be even better.

4. Don't bother putting out a program of events, just have printed (or handwritten) 8-by-11 signs on random doors. Maps in program books are also for losers.

5. Pretend the Saturday Night 'party' isn't just an excuse to play really awful music for your faux sex club. (starting with 'Baby Got Back' is always appropriate)

6. Give the impression of a highly insular group of fans. Back this up by shunning newcomers and fawning all over the actors.

7. When the live band finally gets a chance to play, be sure to kick them out after four songs. (it's ok, your group of slaves aren't interested in them anyway)

8. Advertising is for losers.

9. Make sure your guests are world-weary old hipsters of the convention scene. Bonus points if they're known for getting drunk a lot. Getting actors from current (and/or relevant) genre endeavors is pointless.

10. When talking the con up to people who might interested, claim it's "better than DragonCon".

(the last one is hearsay)

There are about to be spoilers in this post for the last episode. It's, in the grand scheme, actually pretty minor a spoiler. But it is one, nonetheless.

Duck Dodgers: you guys. I cannot explain how much I love this show. I just CANNOT.

Maybe this will help?

From tonight's episode:
"It's supposed to create a moral conflict."
"Not on this show!"

And, in other news, Scans_daily has been suspended You guys! Where am I going to go when I want to read angry feminist comics fans kicking at things (and random wankery)? Also, I was about to embark on a read up on Cass from DC" epic affair with their tags and now I can't. *sulks* (please note the link contains angry people on the internet and expect profanity and crankiness accordingly)

BSG: I just. I just. No. I can't talk about it right now (I haven't even managed last week's, either). At least my reaction isn't "Jane Espenson, diaf" this time.

ETA: ALSO. Why does it look like Helo is standing behind Lizzeh in my icon? HELO. You and your jaw do not belong there! even if I now want to dig out that cap for some photoshop work

BSG: ....They need to change the name to Bored-to-sleep Galactica.

First, though. OMG. Caught an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men and cackled. DOMINO. <3 (YOU KNOW NATE PUT HER UP TO THAT SHIT)

Second. DUCK DODGERS. Martian Queen > Laura Roslin. Trufax.

Dear porn writers,

The clitoris? IS NOT INSIDE anything. Please stop writing lines like, "he put his finger inside and stroked her clitoris".

It is possibly 'enclosed' by the outer lips. But inside? No.

Every time I read that, I wonder how anatomy has failed them so completely. (the inside trigger is the G-Spot)

Annoyed, Lyssie
