Trolls being trolled

badgerbagLooks like now what's happened is, someone from SA re-posted zathlazip/hypersurfaces/Rachel Moss's original post over on a sort of SA-meta-wank forum. They used her photo to make a new account, so that it looks as if she just reposted it herself.
So, this community of jokers is turning the misogynist firehose right back onto zathlazip. They're calling her names, evaluating whether or not they'd "do her", and mocking her for whining and trying to get the post taken down.
Looks like she did try and succeed in getting the post with its pages & pages of racist, sexist comments removed.
((edited: I found this post from an anonymous commenter on SA, who posted this exact text with the last names blanked out. I did not post it, but later, the person who did told me who they were.))
See how her "friends" on SA mock her,
I'm surprised that SA took it down. They make a lot of money off popular posts like that one.
Most of that thread is more fat-person-hating and woman hating and photos from the con re-posted, with comments on our fuckability and ugliness. we are all ugly, fat lesbians. Yup, all of us. Just fyi.
One comment did kind of make me laugh about the clothing swap, they bet you could make a few hundred sweaters off the cat hair on those clothes. YEAH CRAZY CAT LADIES OF THE UNIVERSE UNITE!!
Then another bit cracked me up, under a photo of me and the birds of prey last year, some dude commented, "Is that cripple under the impression that a Wonder Woman T-shirt constitutes a Wonder Woman costume" Hallo... dumbass... I was ORACLE.
Other comments on photos of me,
"The irony of a super femnazi bitch wearing a Wonder Woman shirt is just too much for me to handle"
"So what's Wonder Cripple's superpower? Being able to walk?"
Actually, yes. Hahahah! It's a miracle, I can walk!
Anyway.
I'd like to go back to thinking about all the awesomeness at the con, and tonight will post some book lists and some more panel transcripts.
This is pretty sad. What a childish, hateful, stupid thing to do.

Rachel ____,
Taking secret photos of people at WisCon and posting harassment on Something Awful is more damaging than you realize. You did not post personal information, but forum goons are already starting to stalk people. You are hurting peoples' academic lives and real-world careers.
I'll refer you to your school's policies on sexual harassment:
http://www.oed.wisc.edu/sexualharassment/
If your post on Something Awful is still up on Wednesday, I'll contact Dr. _____ of the Department of Environmental Chemistry and Technology, explain the problem, and ask him to ask you to take it down.
I hope you put this to rest before it gets out of control.

got an e-mail from someone at the con threating to report her writings to her college... She immediately caved and started crying asking the mods to delete the thread.
Normally this would get you made fun of by goons -- but since this is a girl the White Knight Action Patrol immediately swooped into action and deleted all traces of the thread from the Goldmine.

Date: 2008-05-28 04:26 am (UTC)I have a preexisting loathing of SA because some of the goons have it in for part of my company's customer base, and they make life more difficult than it should be for our operations and support people.

Date: 2008-05-28 04:34 am (UTC)I had actually never heard of them until a couple of years ago, by some fluke of Internet communities. (None of my friends were Goons, etc.)
SA has some extremely immature members who take things way too far a lot of the time. They 'ruin' it for the rest of us. For the record, SA bans people across the board for racism, and they have had active discussions on what to do about the mysogyny (sp?) and homophobia on the site - so they know it exists, and they're trying to work on it. It may not seem like it, but that's going on.
But not a hate site, like Stormfront.org and the like.
I'm not sure what your customer's base is; what's going on there?
