FINALLY! Someone confirming that yes, JO said that awful stuff. It's great that she's changed, but it was bothering me after the whole TGWTG Secrets debacle that she was denying she ever said that stuff and making things horrible for Rants and the confused fans and those of us who actually read the formspring post that has since been deleted. 

And now we can put this whole business to rest. Now that it's all out in the open ... I think I can watch JO's reviews again. *smiles*

Just got back from my first college party. Yaaaaaay! Pretty small, lots of fun dancing, lots of sexy dancing, lots of me watching people do sexy dancing and wanting to join in and not knowing the protocal for that, and me headbanging to Katy Perry and stuff. I'm sore and sweaty and I had fun. I'm glad I went out with my friends.

That part REALLY bothered me. Yeah, a tumblr full of angry defensive anons is totally the right place to address internet stalking and I'd definately admit to being harassed in front of people who'd flat-out deny my "wild accusations" just because the person harassing me is mildly famous and comes across as so nice in videos ...

Actually, that makes me REALLY angry now, considering what one of my best friends has gone through in her life. There's no better way to get me angry than to start victim-blaming.

I think people say Rants is nice because for the most part he's in charge of this big opinionated mess, and he gets upset and anxious when people are upset because of the blog. It's a pity kind of thing, like, I feel bad that someone who's socially awkward is trying to deal with tricky situations. But at this point it's irresponsible at times, like with the JO thing or the "someone is stalking people" thing. He really shouldn't be in charge of the blog by himself, he takes things too personally and he hasn't learned from past situations.

Can we talk about how much the tgwtgrumors person rocks? 'Cause they make me happy.

Oh yes, I love the Rumor Elf so far! I am in AWE of the research they put into this stuff.

I want to give them cookies and hugs and a shiny hat. No really, I would totally do that. Especially the shiny hat.

Well, they ARE an elf...A raptor elf, but still an elf...

Wait, do you leave milk out for elves, or was that for brownies? *scratches head*

[achika-chan.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that was Brownies. And you can't tell them 'Thank You'. But then you leave milk and cookies for Santa, and he's an elf, so...I'm just confused now.

(I love how many twists and turns this conversation has taken.)

I'm confused too ... I guess I'll stick with cookies and hugs and a shiny hat. Seriously, maybe we should make them a card somehow ...

(LOL me too)

Probably a good idea.

(Seriously, putting an issue to rest, to victim-blaming, to being angry at a person for how they handled a situation, to gender issues, to folklore ... it's like the conversations I have a dinner at college all the time! ... speaking of that, I'm hungry ... and it's dinner time ...)

Probably a good idea.
No time now, but maybe someday ... or if someone else gets a card going I'd gladly "sign" ...
