Poe's Law: There's no parody ridiculous enough to not be mistaken for the real thing.

[Zangi]

My sister and I used to be avid fanfiction readers... of anime when we were still in high school.  Stuff like DBZ, Sailor Moon, Slayers and Gundam:Endless Waltz being what comes to mind.  We've gone as far as printing the stuff out to read when not at the computer.  Some of these fanfictions probably had as many pages as the wheel of time books and similar.

Well, my sister was more into it then I and there were probably reams worth of the stuff sitting around in her room, never to be read again.  We are using all that printed out fanfiction as throwaway printer paper.  Its been over 5 years and we are not done yet.

At least there's no way that she'll ever have children, seeing that testicles are kinda required if you want to have children...

Are you implying there's a shortage of guys who want a girl who likes anime fanfics?

[Frumple]

I'm more curious about the apparent implication that zangi is breeding with their sister.

[Orange Wizard]

Either way, we demand answers!

An author from the 1800s.

What they're talking about is a Poe as in Poe's Law.

EDIT: On that note, what the fuck is castrating everybody supposed to achieve?

FAKEDIT: On further reading, this woman doesn't need a reason to castrate people, she just wants some sort of absurd "eutopia" that inexplicably only contains half of society.

EDIT2: Has anybody else noticed the irony of where that absurd idea was posted, considering who invented the Web?

There's a major irony here, with the idea that technological advances will make men unnecessary so they can have an all-female society. Those same advances will actually make women unnecessary too. This includes both freeing most women from childbirth, reduced infant mortality and further along, artificial wombs.

The female plumbing is complex and unnecessary, adapted males will be cheaper and simpler in terms of health care. Why spend resources on female reproductive care in a future where most women won't be forced to be breeders? Utilitarianism kind of implies that these brave new world future people won't really be either existing gender. Femitheist's idea that bio-tech will lead to a lesbian utopia of anatomically-modern women doesn't really stand up to any logic.

BTW, scrdest, thanks for introducing me to FSTDT. Really.
How am I supposed to interact with other people now?

FD linked that.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

scrdest mentioned it, though.
I think, anyway. My memory is shit.

[Tawa]

FSTDTers aren't very good at spotting Poes, are they?

That is not a Poe. Or if it is, it's equally insane, just in a different way - this is one of the instantly recognizable names like DJS or Vox Day or caamib by sheer frequency of posts, and it's still going on. You have to be truly a insanely dedicated troll to keep at it for several years.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Hmm?
Oh no, I'm talking about a good while before that.
I think it may have been in the sad thread, actually.
Edit: nope, it was the WTF thread.
Here's the quote

My sense of cultural superiority after reading fstd is quickly evaporating in the face of a Polish article I just read. The author is seriously claiming that ebooks are a tool of Marxist subversion by 'New Left hacktivists' and cites the movie Hackers as a good depiction of an element of hacker subculture.

WHAT.

[Tawa]

Oh, I thought you meant just now. Sorry about that.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Oh, I thought you meant just now. Sorry about that.

'S all good, man. I probably should've been clearer with my wording, anyway.

With tdhis kind of thing I generally assume that the writer is psychotic or has some form of personality disorder. She seems to be suffering from some manner of persecutory delusion or paranoia.
