A review episode...I dunno F Plus, with how popular 'terrible reviews' are as a meme isn't this just gonna devolve into only kinda funny people trying to write funny fake reviews being read?

What's this...

quote:

We're looking at authors who, around the internet, show up to berate, insult, and argue with people who say unfavorable things about a book they've written. It's kind of like the Correct The Record PAC, except without the funding.

Well, nevermind, this sounds like gold.

Personally, I'm still kind of anticipating the "acne lovers" episode that Lemon teased with it being arguably the most disgusting episode in the entire F Plus oeuvre.

Wow, I'm surprised that after being so tactful with their anniversary retrospective episode they outright name-dropped Bo News in this one.

God, that might be the first episode I skip. The bug one got close, but I can only begin to imagine the horrors contained within an erotic acne popping forum before I want to die.

This episode was awful for me, not because of anything in it, but because it reminded me of a brilliant meltdown I'd seen a few years ago and caused me to spend a very unfulfilling hour looking for it.

If anyone else remembers a crazy right-wing PDF "novel" about some mysteriously important chick in the quasi-dystopian near future (think Southland Tales without the sci-fi gobbledygook and with even dumber politics), generously illustrated with competent but unpleasantly sterile vector images (gradients EVERYWHERE), please let me know where I can find the author's flamewar over it. Please. It's killing me.

No, that's a webcomic full of sci-fi gobbledygook. Perfect example all the same, though; thanks for reminding me of it.

Edit: I guess my description is pretty similar, but the important thing here is that as wonky and exaggerated as Sarah Zero is, this thing was deadly serious in equal measure.

invisible or nonexistent, and should be treated as such
This takes me way back. I remember when the Ann Rice tirade came out and lots of fanfiction writers were hooting about it, especially the "interrogating the text from the wrong perspective" and "strains my Dickensian principles to the max" bits. They were common joke responses for years after that.

That one's pretty dumb, if merely because it's a dystopian novel written in the 21st century, but can it really be accused of being right-wing?

Jennifer Government is basically that copypasta story about the cop in full libertarian world that has to put in quarters to shoot his gun and won't solve crimes without being paid first, so no, it isn't right wing.

the F-Plus episodes never really got into any of that deeply uncomfortable poo poo, the closest they got was when Lemon said "Whores get murdered when they wear that shirt in my show" which makes me think they did record stuff about it that got cut

then again given how long they said those recordings went on for, that's not surprising

Speaking of uncomfortable poo poo, I've been relistening to Lou Reads and while I like the f plus for only focusing on the funnier parts of the internet's crazies, Lou Reads' roller coaster approach tickles that part of my brain that wonders just how hosed up the Internet can get. Speaking of which: I was actually vacuuming out my car at a gas station and had it playing, I think it was one of the episodes on trip reports. Anyhow, the episode ends and the next one comes on, I'm only half listening until I have to make this mad dive into my car to my phone to turn the podcast off because everyone in a 20 foot radius of my car was now listening to Lou's dulcet voice serenading them with the "people who enjoy eating poo poo" thread on fetlife.

Also while I'm at it excelsior and also gently caress you Lou, I listened to that during this second go through because I thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as I remembered and yet it totally was

People are super into Armor as a classic of science fiction. Ask for recommendations for fiction about the horror of war and especially science fiction, and Armor is going to pop up in seconds.

I can't wait to read listen to the newest episode. I had a regretful period of youth where my love of giant robots meant I'd read fuckin' anything with power armor, so I ate up Starship Troopers and Armor both. I tried to reread Armor recently and want to time travel back and cuff little me upside the head for being a fan.

When I'm on cold meds I mix up the difference between reading and listening to things.
