here, have some fail

[rm]

Apparently women and queers are ruining SF.

Torchwood gets a not insignificant amount of text, and, sadly, Dirk Benedict is referenced. If you're thinking this can't end well, you'd be right.

Maybe I'll actually pick it apart for your viewing pleasure later. But maybe I'll actually have something more useful to do instead, like ruining the genre with my homosexual girl-bits or the cock in my dresser drawer or something.

Tell me, SF-ruiners, what's on your agenda today?

I tried to read the whole thing, but my eyes rolled out of my head and under the desk in a desperate attempt to save themselves from further exposure.

Mmm, I'm working on some sci-fi stories. They have actual science in them along with the fiction, and some women and OMNISEXUAL characters. OMFG!

If I can't ruin sci-fi with this feeble effort, at least I can ruin this schmuck's day! Woo!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

today i plan to "do and accomplish things" (women doing this is apparently unfamiliar to the author of that post)

then i will join a previous commenter in writing more kirk/spock

then i will mourn the fact that we will no longer have any physicists, engineers, scientists, etc, because boys won't want to be those anymore

ARGHHHH!!!

Being from San Francisco, I totally read that first sentence wrong. It's sad that I basically said, "yeah, so what's new" in both cases...

It's all part of my plan. As a woman in science (gasp!) I make sure to buy novels with women and PoC on their very covers, to make it more obvious that I am ruining teh skiffy for losers like that guy. Young boys will obviously get the message that exclusionary, idiotic attitudes are unwelcome in my world, and rather than changing their manners will sit at home and whine on the internets about those mean women in science who like sci-fi keeping them from their rightful phallic spaceships. And I will LAUGH.

Mac and cheese. Lie to Me. Destroying marriage.

You know. Typical Monday.

Working with my mental voodoo doll. I think the author needs a bit of body mod. You've heard of the Prince Albert? What say we give him an Abelard?

In my Copious Free Time I'm working on an SF short story that is set in a matriarchal society. But before I make any more progress on that story, I have to further emasculate myself by sorting and putting away the laundry.

I thought about you yesterday - our walk path crossed with the Equality March in DC - pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/orlacarey/sets/72157622421038219/

[hughcasey.livejournal.com]

And here I thought that what ruined SF was sucky writing. Shows you what I know...

[requiella]

As we know science fiction has inspired boys to pursue careers in science, engineering, and technology as men. With women killing science fiction on television, the current generation of boys won’t have this opportunity to be inspired to work in these fields. many boys who would have gone on to make scientific discoveries and invent new technologies will not do so since they will never be inspired by science fiction as boys.


This should make me angry or at least annoyed but I am seriously laughing at how stupid it is. So boys won't become scientists because of evil women? I feel the power surging through me!

Same thing we do every day, Pinky: try to take over the world.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

OMG, is that a Father Ted icon?!

[genmaicha.livejournal.com]

I also misread it initially as San Francisco.

Either way, I think I should be penning in "destroy a genre" into my to-do list.

[realtsunamigirl.livejournal.com]

Wow...just wow.

My agenda:
-clean the cat box
-weed the yard
-do the dishes
-ruin the precious bastion cock-strut-itude solely by my interest and presence
-hand wash delicates

*goes back to watching Doctor Who, thereby destroying its scientific purity by daring to accept that social norms might alter over the next 30,000 years*

The funny thing is I have found the same amount of female to male fans in science fiction since I started going to cons.

Now, I've been a fan of science fiction almost since I could read. I watched the *original* Outer Limits and Twilight Zone. I'd love movied like Day The Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet etc when they were on the afternoon movies after school. And I watched the original Star Trek from day one.

When I first started going to cons, I found a balance of female to male fans. Granted they were the early Star Trek cons, with the except of the handful of Lunacons I went to, in the 70's. My first World Con was in Boston in 1980. It was a fair balance of fans then, too.

So I don't know how old that blogger is saying that s/f is a male form of fiction. There were a number of women writers, even in early s/f.

It's that "Good Old Days" mentality, when one completely misremembers the past. They were unaware of the things that bother them these days. Those things were still there.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

My sci-fi ruining agenda for the night:
1) Go to bed.
2) Dream of various people going forth and discovering new worlds and new civilisations.
3) These people *gasp and horror* are NOT only white, hetero cis men.
4) Laugh to myself about the cowards who wish for the bygone days in which they imagine sex just didn't happen, ya know, between men in close quarters.
The Navy Hello!

5) Imagine pointing and mocking at the above cowards because really, "boys" that club house was taken off the trees a looooong time ago.
Get over it, move on.
Read some John Ringo.

I have an overwhelming urge to pat the writer on the head and tell him to run away and bring us girls some coffee.

It's either that or reach for my chainsaw. Or possibly my copy of I, Robot. Y'know, the REAL SF, the written SF, the classic series of stories centering on a manly man male scientist as the world's leading robot expert? A manly man male... named Susan.

OMG, Issac Asimov ruined SF and emasculated his readers!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yes, THANK YOU. Susan is KICK ASS.

[lunasblues.livejournal.com]

I seriously thought this was a satire of some weird sort. And I kept reading for the punch line. And it never came.

[wednesday]

Now I totally have to go watch Space Mutiny, which is clearly the height of SF by this guy's standards. It even has Battlestar Galactica Classic SFX in! It must be perfect!

Well, aside from the sex scene with Hairspray Clone of Shari Lewis, but even the MANLIEST BESTEST HETFUCK EVAR can't be totally bereft of moronic relationship drama. How else would the women know to watch?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

BUTCH MCDEADLIFT.

[anotheranon.livejournal.com]

FWIW, there are tabloid rumors that Daniel Craig wouldn't mind a bi Bond.

Yes, it is a tabloid site. But I want it to be true!

Back on topic: Who is the yo yo who wrote that article? Poor little pearl, being denied his pwecious boy's club >:(

[rm.livejournal.com]

I do know all about those rumours and actually wrote an article on them years ago. I still get hate mail occasionally.

[j-v-lynch.livejournal.com]

I'm going to write some reviews for a couple of fantastic SF books by women.

[hobbitblue.livejournal.com]

Women only want supernatural or paranormal things. Hmm, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Which no *men* ever watched, obviously.

And we should mourn the betrayal by the new version of the original BSG. For manly men, being manly and manlike and inspired to become scientists. By Muffit the robot dog thing. Er, right.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

They don't even remember the old BSG that well.

At one point, all the male pilots were stricken and they had to train women as pilots. (OK, the 70s) The women not only held their own, but continued flying rest of the series!

[crewgrrl.livejournal.com]

Wow, I've been ruining an entire genre for at least half my life without knowing it. Huh.

Guess I do have something to show for my life after all.

[gallo-de-pelea.livejournal.com]

Tell me, SF-ruiners, what's on your agenda today?

Glancing at a wall of words from some inconsequential misogynist whiner, then getting back to making comic books.
