Is the Indie Exchange still around on live journal?

Edit: this was a big indie rock :filez: community that was around still in like 2012.

There was an extremely funny string of posts Delphisage made in the Fire Emblem thread talking about how the character Cherche bothers him because...

I have genuinely no clue what he was going on about Cherche having a "spinster gimmick", but then going on to ascribe her entire character to catering to a "spinster fetish" is something else. Very much smacks of issues with women in general. There's also the post where he yells about how he hates avatar characters because of a fear of bad fanfiction.

Learning that he has been at this sort of poo poo for over a decade is the least surprising and most depressing thing. How do people like this exist, man?

I don't think he knew what most words meant.

livejournal drama was so epic, there were absolutely insane harry potter people going to war about snarry, parenting advice battles, drama in drama communities... several communities imploding because of anon-type spinoffs, and then everyoen hosed off to tumblr to get even more crazy.

Didn’t ljdrama lead to encyclopedia dramatica?

I think he heard someone joke that Cherche is a cat lady except her cat is the big dragon she rides into battle and then his deranged mind did the rest.

yeah there was a straight pipeline towards it and I seem to recall the earlier days of ED was nowhere as vicious or poisonous but was pretty much public helldump which was destined to be all of that. and of course it led to the people too obsessed with chris-chan, and then kiwifarms

Yeah they were very often people with like. An income. Which was kind of a shocking realization when you're like 15 and in high school and realizing that someone who could afford their own elaborate Harry Potter costume and then get real loving mad when a small child defeated them was something an adult could be concerned about at all

I read it in its earliest days and "just" is doing a lot of masking of how bad it was. It was a sort of public clearing house for peoples' bickering to catalog offenses and such against each other. People who were not Chris-chan level lolcows had pages with every minor sin outlined because they were, say, a furry who had pissed off some other furry over commissions or something

From interacting with him off of SA, he is really good at showing just enough insight privately just often enough that you could convince yourself you’re helping him.

Exploration is ill-advised.
How is Cherche even a spinster fetish, she's maybe slightly older than the other women in the game but there's literal game mechanics for her to get married and have a kid who comes back from the future who is Nightwing that rides a dragon.
