Okay, so there's all this bandom wank shit going down and I'm just... honestly puzzled about something.
Facts as I understand them -
Some people at bandflesh are mean.
Some people HATEHATEHATE bandflesh.
A fuckton of people have no idea what the fuck this bandflesh shit is that people keep going on about.
Exchanges as I understand them -
Bandflesh-haters: I don't want to hang with anyone who hangs out at bandflesh because even if they aren't the ones being mean, they're condoning the mean things by hanging out there.
Bandfleshers: OMG UNFAIR.
Forgive my use of grammar that I'm not all that familiar with but isn't that a bit LOL SENSITIVE of the bandfleshers? How can they hang out there at all if they're that easily offended by someone ZOMG NOT UNDERSTANDING how truly loving and wonderful their comm seekritly is?
Disclaimer: I know pretty much nada about bandflesh. I've never posted there and to my knowledge never been posted about there. (Though if I have been, I would want to know because I didn't think I was that well-known! I would be impressed! I am infinitely thick-skinned, fr srs.) I do not know anyone involved in any side of the debate all that terribly well. I don't really get why there seems to be a community that endorses a fuck-ton of grudge-wanking along with whatever else they do, but I also don't think that bandflesh created evil (nor did fandom_wank, or 4chan, or the internet for that matter - people just suck and always have).
Summary: So yeah, I guess what I'm saying is that I can understand the haters (because that's what haters do and you can't actually eradicate them) and I can understand the hatees getting all up in arms, but I can't understand the haters (or I guess the problem is that it's theoretically not actually haters, just people who happen to innocently be BFFs with the haters?) getting all defensive because some people quite vocally don't like them or the way they do business.
I am open for discussion on this matter.
ETA: After a couple hours of backreading, I've come to the conclusion that the bandfleshers at least realize they're being LOL SENSITIVE, which is, I guess, a good thing. Also, I've decided that the freakiest thing about bandflesh to me is how all the regulars seem to recognize each other and know who everybody is irlj. Is there, like, secret code or something or do I just fail at subtextual clues or something? WTF, IDGI.

Umm, it is an offspring of lol_meme @ jf, though supposedly it was originally all about RP and discussion. IDK, I need to LURK MOAR to really get the place in any meaningful way.
