if only these poor idiot children had been taught the basics of creative writing instead of being given unfettered access to the internet's echo chambers, we'd have 100% fewer fake self-diagnosed DID cases and much more hilariously bad fanfiction to laugh at like the good ol days

I believe you'll find there are reams and reams of godawful fanfiction about these Minecraft guys, although I can't tell you if any of it is funny or if it's actually being written by children

Mind you, there were also plenty of things that sounded like insanely obvious bait that were actually real. Like the witchery group stealing human bones from a black cemetery. Or the Hamilton high school AIDS fanfic controversy.

I 100% believe that the witchcraft people attempting to hex ISIS or whatever the gently caress was "real" in the sense that they were all strung out to gently caress on research chemicals and felt the blowback of it in the form of a bad trip alerting them to their impending development of TempleOS grade schizophrenia

Does anyone remember when due to some sort of gently caress up (or possibly intentional...??) FYAD poster Dio was given mod powers over PYF instead of IK powers for FYAD after winning the IK contest and made a big ultimatum thread about it. it was really funny but I can't find it.

I just think FF16 looks kinda dull compared to the much more interesting ideas of the previous games.

These yeah. But there are also some folks who come up with some quite frankly bizarre interpretations with utmost seriousness and then get mad at the writers for crap they didn’t write, and then people who don’t agree

The Tumblr Bone Witch was technically an incident where a Tumblr poster called out something the bone thief confessed to in a witch Facebook group and it blew up outside Tumblr's witchcraft circles. The witch Facebook group self-destructed due to how pissed a lot of people were at the bone theft, too. So it's not like the bone thief was regularly blogging about stealing bones and everyone nodded along for a while.

the tumblr bone witch thing was, a tumblr witch said that she found some human bones that washed up on a riverbank after a bad flood, and was interested in selling the bones to other people who wanted to cast spells with them. but in reality she was probably just grave robbing or something. big drama explosion.

the hamilton aids fanfic was a person who wrote, well, a long and well received fanfiction series about all the characters from hamilton, but what if they were in high school in the present day and they had aids. the author claimed to be, like, a non-binary pakistani lesbian and human trafficking victim or something wild like that, and her writing partner was somalian and also had HIV. they claimed to be very poor due to the numerous challenges that come from their traumatic lives and also because having HIV is very expensive, and solicited a bunch of money from fans. but it turns out that the author was just some random white college student from michigan or something, she had been pretending to be both people.

the internet rocks.

That's a great write-up, by the way.

Oh lord, the Arkh project. A combination of Zybourne Clock/Crimson Haze level "I want to make a game but have no loving idea how, here's a bunch of unrelated worldbuilding and concept art, we'll figure out this simple code stuff later", and Social justice drama where the creators were just the shittiest people possible despite ostensibly building a game for trans representation.

I remember first hearing about it and being vaguely hopeful it'd succeed because the anti-SJW backlash was getting tiresome even pre-Gamergate.
