I'm getting annoyed at the writers who use googledocs to post their letters since I'm now listed as "sharing" them on my drive.

I don't they see anything about you making a copy or accessing it but yeah it's annoying.

NA

Possibly they mean this thread, which included some evidence that a user on the Yuletide Discord talking about how mean anonmemes were was meatball:

Yes, Europe with its speech restrictions is famously not having any problems with a resurgent fascist far right at the moment. It's great that this is a solution to fascism that totally works and is never used by the people in power to shut down the Left.

To be fair to ars_belli that is a beautifully finessed "Please don't write me Nazi hunting fic this year" request.

I hope her author can find a way to wriggle around it, but it's elegantly done.

They didn't DNW deathfic so just have the Nazis die or write a world where everyone is mixed and white skin/blonde hair is gone. Sorry, non-Nazi's who have those things, take one for the team.

Or write a fic that's basically what if the program that man Kahn in Star Trek happened in one of her fandoms. The true master race is a brown person! We all win!

You're a fucking idiot. No one nominated Mary Jo Kopechne, or the William Smith rape survivor, or anyone else who can be considered a direct victim of the Kennedys. The fact you don't like them or their politics is irrelevant.

If we're gonna play that game (they aren't my fandoms and I got no skin in this game), lets get rid of Royalty RPF too if you REALLY want to talk about a family that has a string of vis a vis victims o_O

If only “direct victims” count and killing millions in war is just “politics,” what’s your objection to the Nazis again? Dipshit.

Please tell me which war Bobby Kennedy killed millions of people in.

The Things You Do For Meme

Have you ever not commented something because you knew it would possibly be *too* wanky and you didn't want to kick off something on coal?

(Have you ever posted something a little OTT just to get some coal discussion going?)

This question brought to you by me finding something stupid AlexSeanchai said a few months ago while looking for recent coal namespace wank and NOT posting it here because it probably would have led to a grudgewank spiral even though I just want to laugh at their lack of shame.

Don't bother with them coalie, they're trying for wank. Everyone knows they're dumb and that's why no one else has replied.

I mean, I'm the person who first called out ars_belli on FFA. Which was something I Did For Meme, in its own way.

I'm imagining the desperate scouring of Wikipedia pages that's going on right now in order to come up with a sufficiently "WELL ACTUALLY...." reply.
