THIS appears right after fandom_wank goes down?

rules for those people who, like it or not, have become BNFs:  You are not allowed to have hurt feelings, you are not allowed to argue with someone, and you absolutely are not allowed to have an opinion.

If you get your feelings hurt, you deserve it, because there are other people whose names the fandom doesn't recognize whose feelings are also hurt and theirs count more because they're not popular. Also? It's funny when your feelings get hurt, because you've probably done something to deserve it.

err. just checking: you know that she's writing it in jest because rosenho is known as a BNF right??

yes. clearly. the satire comes across perfectly to make her point, which is whiny, wanky, self-important, and obnoxious.

why is that obnoxious? I find it entertaining and there's certain parallels to what celebrities put up with too.

tho I suppose 'celebrity' *is* a definition of BNF as well, but still.

I'm not quite sure why you're so angry at the post.

i think it's pretty clearly a satire...right? i can't imagine how it wouldn't be. o.o

[cimness.livejournal.com]

yes. that's what i think is obnoxious.

yet another poor little oppressed bnf post.

Some of it was funny. But most of it just made me a bit stabby. Oh, it's just all so SAD for them, don't you see? Their lives are so tough - I mean, having fans, having a large friends list, and then also having some people not like them, and not agree with their opinions! Can you believe they aren't loved by everyone? The horror!

(I like how she rants about not being able to say what she wants and having to keep her thoughts to herself, and then she's had nearly 200 positive comments on this already, and - as far as I could tell - none that were negative. Okay, then. Yes, she's really being oppressed.)
