Regarding this fanfiction survey fail, I have only one question:

"Well, slash is kind of the female equivalent of the straight male interest in transsexuals"

Huh?

How is that even trying to disguise itself as anything distantly related to logic?

Bally idiots.

Nahhh Quark (and family) are far above such indignities. (Unless financially profitable at which point it's just good business and really what's a businessman to do?) Given his level of idiocy it is likely that his ear reduction was mandated by the Ferengi government because as he is SUCH a moron he is not fit to be among them and thus...

They gave him to us! (Possibly Quark negotiated that deal. Would explain the recent Disney/Marvel thing too...)

You can't get this amount of WTFery from mere cluelessness. This is a black sucking hole of stupid.

Slash is kind of the ... what now?!?!? Where is he getting this shit?

You'd think after the lambasting he's gotten over the past day or so he'd have learned something, but apparently not. Which is entertaining and all, but if he actually turns any of his incredibly bullshit assumptions into a published book, I will be furious.

I stupidly went back and read the entire thread, and now my brain hurts in exactly the same way it hurts whenever I read what the batshit brigade has to say about healthcare reform.

I truly do not know how you can get through an advanced degree program and still be this stupid about science. And I truly do not know how you can get through life and be this much of an arrogant prick.

Evolutionary psychology is generally bullshit, though. Like that ridiculous thing about girls being hardwired to like pink and boys blue, despite the fact that if you know anything at all about fashion history, you know that that's a very recent association. It seems to largely consist of constructing Just So stories....

This whole thing is such a train wreck. I just keep shaking my head and going "THEY CAN'T REALLY BE THIS STUPID, CAN THEY?"

But it seems they are. Stupid, and privileged, and condescending, and STUPID.

That said, it is an absolute joy to see my fandom friends and many others, these spectacular people with their own advanced degrees and plain old common sense, leaping all over these guys and ripping them into tiny little shreds of illogic.

Without even clicking on the link, you can tell that's just dumb. Besides, if it were the female equivalent of anything, wouldn't it be the female equivalent of the straight male interest in lesbians? That would be the opposite, after all. Not really sure where transsexuals enter into whatever the debate is about, but...oh nevermind, that one sentence has done gone and hurt my head. I'm off to take a couple of Extra Strength Tylenol... :D

Any chance they deliberately posted the Survey of Fail and all those lame replies just so they could study the reactions of people? That explanation is better than the alternative, that they really are that stupid and thoughtless. But extremely unlikely, sigh.

Every time when I think I have seen the worst from them, they manage to surpass themselves anew.

It's so frelling hard not to go into full capslock modes and yell at them, "Oh, fuck you, YOU FUCKING FUCKERS."
