Coalie Who Said "Broadcasting"

I for one am blaming Aquatics*.

The writer did a perfectly honorable thing, writing a fic for a recip in a nice fandom which the recip obviously enjoyed and tagging it (in context) appropriately. Aquatics then decided to rec it in a disingenuous way guaranteed to piss people off and to expose the fic and its tagging to hostile scrutiny.

I don't care what fandoms they like, but I do care about them being a dick, and that was a dick move.

* Or the anti-Aquatics troll, but frankly I don't think they're creative enough to do such a convincing impersonation.

SC

* niche fandom! Niche fandom!

Of all the typos I could make...

*imps scamper for the shadows, giggling maniacally*

Honestly it's what I deserve for perpetuating this dumb wank.

DC

Or, they tried to carefully rec a very niche fic in a very niche fandom with very few potential readers to someone who sounded potentially interested without mentioning the fandom, since mentioning the fandom in the BFE thread tends to result in massive wank, no matter the context.

Given the long, squeeful comment and obvious dedication to the topic spanning many 100 words threads on FFA, I don't think they would be interested in causing trouble for a potential writer.

Was it dumb? Probably. Will they do it again? Probably not. Was it malicious? Given the involvement in the extremely tiny and niche fandom, I'd say no.

(It might still be the troll, though, since it's been stated several times that nonnies have a crappy Aquatics-dar.)

It’s the same way they bring up Desert Peach every time.

To ayrt they're trying to rec the fic without bringing down fire on the author's head; to the rest of us, who have seen this play out a dozen times, they have this idea that if they only hype up the kinks enough to people who are otherwise squicked by Nazis, we'll just HAVE to get over it and sign on to Rommel Was A Sweetie with them.

NA There is a third option though coalie.

When you realize it’s DP, you can click out as if it was any other fandom you hate. If they are self trolling (which I don’t believe but whatever, it doesn’t matter) then what they want is engagement and people sticking up for them, right? So if you don’t get into a fight with them, nobody will jump in. A lot of us could care less that they hype their weird fandom a lot or rec their gifts, we are tired of people using any random comment they drop as a chance to blow up a thread until the FFA mods freeze/all other talk on coal dies because it’s just this boring bullshit again. That is why people jump in to shut (general) *you* down but it is crickets on her original rec.

If everything is a false flag operation, let aquatics post her shit and be met with crickets. Then she can reply to herself too until it gets boring after 5 minutes. We all know there isn’t one aquatics anti/troll because you keep this shit up for days and weeks unless you get frozen. Learn not to engage. It’s been a year and nobody new has gotten into this fandom. Nobody will. You aren’t doing great justice or helping out us Jewish people that want nothing to do with Nazi shit by bringing up Nazis in every damn thread because you’re more obsessed with aquatics and their gifts than you are with your own u____u

ayrt

"us Jewish people" I'm Jewish, coalie, that's why it's super creepy to see this shit go down over and over again. I don't know why you think that not engaging is helping - the lack of engagement is precisely why they're self-trolling to begin with, and then gullible nonnies/coalies go "oh no, poor DP Nonny, getting trolled all the time." I can't think of a single time anyone's actually trolled any Desert Peach content, it's either obvious self-trolling in the BFE thread, or Aquatics being a creepy racist troll and people responding to that.

sa

also, there are probably enough fics in the collection that fit this description that it's not deanoning myself to say that my fic is a very excellent one about Jewish characters. Amazingly, it's possible to think the Nazi troll is a huge creep and still have room for other things in my brain! Who'da thunk?

I haven't been to ffa lately, but I'm disappointed to hear the mods have gone full nazi 0_o

NCYRT

I think that by this point the mods have figured out that someone modcalling a nonny for not thinking Erwin Rommel is lovely isn't doing it "because of recurring wank".

Most of the time, the trolling~ is just a single comment that goes “AQUATICS again, eh?” that goes ignored or mod called. Her white knights just only notice when she sticks her thumb out extra far and people get annoyed again.

(It might still be the troll, though, since it's been stated several times that nonnies have a crappy Aquatics-dar.)

It's been stated. Where?
