A runthrough time.

I own and run the ljgenie community over on LJ, so I figured I'd make dwgenie here.  dwgenie rather than dw_genie because dw_* are official DW names, naturellemente.  (I put a note to that effect in the bio.)

It all went smoothly, which I totally expected.  Hooray!  *pleased*

I'm not sure if I want to import my journal yet, but I definitely like it here already.

Well, that was perfectly horrifying.

The post, at/by Bitch PhD: Ann Coulter really is a cunt, people

The post that one refers to: Teabag me

The best possible response to the second link is at Shakesville: Quote of the Day

The understandable part: I can joke about plenty of things with close folk that I would never think to with acquaintances.  I know my close-folk's history, and values, and senses of humour, so we can joke about something wretched like that.  Not to mention, if a bunch of commenters started dissing a partner of mine, I'd be pretty defensive.

The really awful part: Well, first, I always thought it was fairly obvious that one can generally joke more freely with one's close ones than with acquaintances or the internet.  Therefore, posting offensive jokes made between close-folk to the internet is kind of "wat" to begin with.

But further… just… read that post, and read her comments in the post.  Apparently, trans* jokes just can't be made yet by cis folk, alas.  We're just being sensitive.  And what do we expect, when we called her boyfriend an asshole?  She's not going to apologise because they were dissing her boyfriend, so there.

And for serious, since when are image-based offensive goddamn jokes okay?  "No no, it's pining a critique!  It's subtle!"  No.  No, what it is is not fucking okay.

And I thought I had defensiveness problems.

I'm waiting for a follow-up post about how she was just doing it for the lulz.
