House Fandom Is Wanking. Who's surprised?

It's the Capslockers against the House_Wilsonist Harbingers of Sims Love!

They were being remarkably civil, actually. I'm surprised.


There's a new House/Wilson comm, [livejournal.com profile] housewilsonlol, founded by a bunch of Capslockers. From the user info page:

FOR THE DISCUSSION OF HOUSE/WILSON, WITHOUT THE WANKERY.

NO SANDY VAG
CAPSLOCK IS OPTIONAL
NO CREEPY FUCKING SHIT LIKE ANIMALS DRESSED AS H/W
NO H/W INSPIRED JEWELRY OR CRAFTS
NO SRS MANIP OF WILSON WEARING MAKEUP
NO ANIME INSPIRED PICS OF H/W UNLESS YOU ARE BEING IRONIC


[livejournal.com profile] house_wilson members are sort of shocked, but there's less wank than this profile could have caused. Some people actually show common sense:

-scans community- ...How strange. o_o;
Although, it always felt to me like House fans were either of the 4Chan or SRSBZNS variety, if that makes sense. Overly simplified of course, but you get the point.
I tend to be more serious, and I know people who watch purely for the crack... so maybe this was a natural split? o_O;

You guys, I have a point to make.
When this comm was created, I (and many others with me, I assume) was under the impression that our goal was to create a sand- and wank-free environment in which to enjoy our pairing. Instead, it seems like all we've done so far is create more wank. I don't think our main goal should be annoying the shit out of [livejournal.com profile] house_wilson and other people in the fandom.
If I've got it all wrong, feel free to correct me. If people are with me, plz let's all come up with some constructive suggestions on how to blow the sand out of our collective vaginas.


I'm really glad to see that the House fandom, apart from a few exception [SAVE THE PINK PONIES respectively YOU GUYS ARE FAGGOTS], seems to have progressed to the point where things like common sense and reasonable arguments are not the last items in the Guide How To Discuss Shit In This Fandom anymore. On the other hand...

[livejournal.com profile] housewilsonlol: Why all the provocation? You state you don't want more wankery, and at the same time you're more than provoking it by insinuating on your profile and in your comm name that you think [livejournal.com profile] house_wilson is the last shit hole and everybody who hangs out there is a loser. I don't care whether that's your mods' personal opinion or not. Personal opinions don't count when you as a group are making a general statement.

[livejournal.com profile] house_wilson: Stop with the self-righteousness already! The comm has been on fandom_wank multiple times; there's a pecking order and rivalry going on behind the scenes which makes law school seem a friendly place. The attitude of everything's brilliant no matter how shit it is, except if it's written in capslock or in text speak is more than hypocritical, and the sheer amount of useless, off-topic entries posted every day is baffling. This comm is NOT the pink fluffy flower power place that you'd like it to be.

In conclusion: neither of those comms is Baby Jesus' answer to global warming. House/Wilson fandom needs a strictly moderated comm with controlled submissions and mods who are not afraid to delete shit when they see it. We had a chance to get that with [livejournal.com profile] hausvilson, and we blew it. [livejournal.com profile] housewilsonlol or [livejournal.com profile] house_wilson, it doesn't really matter what it's called; as long as everybody is allowed to post whatever they want, the comm will churn out shit faster than a sewage plant.

I wonder how other fandoms manage. Maybe they actually have comms like [livejournal.com profile] hausvilson, and people actually accept the fact that there's doing stuff for the LULZ and then there's doing SRSBZNS stuff, and that each of these things belong in separate comms? And that it's not like a person can't do both?

I'm interested to see what will happen next. And a little terrified, too.

I am so sick of all the House/Wilson comms that I actually don't really want to ship it anymore. I am thinking of converting to House/Cuddy, they seem a bit less full of wank...

Anyway, just my 2 cents =]
