What thenyxie brouhaha?
Also, RECS! Which I can't properly read until I get home, but still.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Short version: wincon 2008, everyone concerned was drunk. Thenyxie's husband got confused between online fantasy and reality, and forced sexual attentions on someone(s) who was not okay with it. The someone(s) neglected to say anything until planning for wincon 2010--or 2011, I forget--when extra security was requested, and events of 2008 were revealed. Thenyxie got aggressively defensive, demanded to know the identity of the accusers. This was granted (mistake, in my opinion) and the excreta impacted the ventilating device. Cue escalation, and everybody in the entire world weighing in on one side or the other.
Fandom still in uproar.

Damn, These are the things I miss by neglecting LJ. After Thursday I can look at it again.

About three hours of reading if you don't go into all the personal journals linked. I limited myself to the anonmeme posts and a few well-chosen journals about fandom behavior in general.

Nothing. I didn't read any posts other than the ones specific to SWSNBN. That's something you'll have to do your own research on, I'm afraid. Although, I did see one brief comment about Jared saying he threw a bit of a hissy-fit. What over, I'm not sure, but it sounds like a tempest in a teapot.

Yeah, I changed my post. Just stupid supposition from people with too much time on their hands.

Oh dear. That looks ugly. And way too complicated to get into, although now I'm intrigued about what Jared might have been throwing a hissy fit over.
I miss the internets, y'all.

Ew. Having experienced more than enough toxicity in another fandom, I think I'll stay way far away from this one.
