Something Awful found me.

I'm sure you've all seen the site before. Only took them ten years to find me. Must be scrapin' pretty hard for their "Awful Link of the Day" these days. They've done the obligatory fat joke, and picked on my nickname, and the fact I have Otherkin pages.

Oh, how upset I am. Watch me cry. *snerk*

Edit: I got worried their traffic would put me over my bandwidth, so I changed some stuff around. Page'll be back to normal when they're done jerking themselves off thinking they're clever little people. Oh, and *LOL* apparently they picked up my site off Portal of Evil dot Com. Totally unoriginal.

Maybe they'll click some Google ads when they're there.

Heh. What a bunch of losers, going around the web and actively looking for things they claim they don't like. You'd think they'd eventually grow up and get a life.

Oh, and I can't see their site here. Work blocks access to SA, which is probably wise for a variety of reasons. :)

You'd think. I think of them as a bunch of untrained monkeys with Tourette's. Marginally funny, but for about 30 seconds, and then you just walk away.

They stopped being funny a long time ago, mostly cause they recycle the same jokes over and over.

*nods* I don't think I've read the site in 2 or 3 years.

It doesn't help me, though; I'm paranoid and anxious to begin with. :p I don't like that I've had to shut the site down to keep it from getting blown up, but I had to. I can rationalize most things, I'm intelligent enough to parry away most of their lame 'thrusts', but when that paranoid voice starts talkin' it's better to just turn it all off and let them go away.

I just don't get why they think I'm unaware that I'm fat. I mean, fuck - I have PCOS and Diabetes. One develops the other, and vice versa. Toss in that being fat can cause either disease, and BOTH diseases encourage you to stay fat. It all breaks down to the fact that I'm just fucking fat. That's the reality of it. Mind you...having weighed about 80 pounds more than this, that was FAT. And I didn't enjoy it.

The rest is just puerile. I mean, take "therian", change it to anything - "Otherkin", "Furry", "LARPer", "goth" - and you have the same rotating joke they put up weekly.

Mind you, I'm fairly sure their other targets either do what I did, or get indignant because they're not smart enough to realize that's what SA wants.

I'm vaguely amused by the weak jibe on my nickname, though. I loathe the name "Morgana", however you spell it. I refuse to be associated with "Morgana Le Fay", mostly I think because I utterly loathe the Arthurian myths, and the idiots who think it's all real and historical the way it's written. I really don't get people who are Arthurian pagans, either - it just breaks my head. I think I read too many crappy Arthurian tales in Medieval
Romances 302 back when I was in school as an English major..

I wonder if they ever get tired of picking on the same old subcultures every time. They're about as passe as the lame furry jokes they make.
It's good that you aren't taking this so hard, cause it really doesn't deserve a measure of your time.

I think you look really cute in that picture they used for you btw :).

thanks. :) It's from one Hallowe'en at a friends' place - I decided to dress up as my favorite goddess.

Oh, I'm sorry that people like that exist. I hope they did click some ads. If it's any consolation, I went, I clicked (even though I've been there before and clicked).

They need a good punching.

I like clicking. :) Thanks.

I'm sure those people are sorry they exist, too.

Lack in the brains department, check!

That's what happens when websites are run by little boys overly concious of their under average manlyhood.

Hahahaha Wooooow. Aren't they funny. BTW, send me some of that Harry Potter fan fic you have around.... *grins*

*LMAO* Oh yes...my huge vast piles of Harry Potter fanfic. I think, tho, it would be better if I read Harry Potter first.

Oi. "Oh noes! We are not the center of attention and we feel horrible about ourselves and the size of our penises!! Due to social conditioning, we can't just put our concerns aside and get laid, no! We must feebly try to make others feel like crap too! We shall make fun of them because they are getting regular sex and we are not! We shall bring them down to our level! Attack!!"

And why didn't you tell me you were into the HP slash fic? -sighs- I've been trying to find some good stuff for awhile!!

*LOL* I think I now have to write Harry Potter slash, but since I know nothing about the books, I will have to simply write some sort of Michael Moorcock slash (I *know* those books), and change the names.

Hiyea, Sadly, I was one of thos people that came across your site from SA. I never really paid attention to the "Awful Link of the Day" until now. My 8 year old daughter has more maturity then thos guys. Just wanted to tell you know your definitely are a stronger person than I. hehehe I'd be livid if they did something like that too me. :)

weak.

The personal potshots at you were out of line. The automatic bullshit assumption that you're a furry also pisses me off- and so does their automatic hatred of furries, but that's another story. Suffice it to say, if you read their boards, you'd understand why they hate people who associate their souls with animals, nough said about that.

What's whore with Arthur? I've been telling different kinds of stories for 6 years now, and I've always loved the Arthurian stuff!

And my girlfriend has PCOS. Try the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet. She lost 100 pounds.

I've already lost 80 lbs, thanks. I have two ulcers, diabetes, and a bad gallbladder.
Why do people fucking assume I don't know how to eat? I live on fucking plain chicken, the occasional bit of starch, and some dairy. Most vegetables are out because they make me violently ill from acid attacks. Ditto on most spices. I can't have much fruit because of the sugar in them. Life as me is not fun when it comes to food. I eat because I have to eat - not because I want to.

I have a spinal injury that makes it harder to go out in winter - if I fall on the copious ice here, I'm in serious trouble. Otherwise, I generally walk 3 kms. about 3-4 times a week. I do take care of myself.

Personally I could care less if people think fat = bad. They're fucking morons. I'm the exact same build as my father. I didn't get a choice. I've been built like a linebacker since I was 3. I heard all these schoolyard insults they're throwing when I was in grade school...so I am forced to assume SA's average reading age is about 8, and move on with my life. I'm 27, married, and have better things to do!
I'm not fond of the Arthurian stuff because it's just a bunch of Romantic bullshit. If you go back and read any of the older stuff, it's all Arthur's an idiot, Gwen is a slut, and Lancelot saves everything. Bleh. I dislike Morgan le Fey because she's supposedly a Christianized watered-down version of my patron goddess The Morrigan. So they make her a bitter, manipulative half-faery 800 years ago...and then every half-baked twinkie "Celtic" pagan decides that Morgan le Fey = The Morrigan and that they're interchangeble. That does not wash with me.

Also, I wish people would stop thinking Merlin ever historically existed.
