okay, yeah, he seems like kind of a challopsy pill. And the 50 insults thing is really terrible. He's like fifteen though right? Dude could grow out of that and become a true ILXor although probably a somewhat dull one. Trying too hard, doesn't have the fundamental spark of a CaptainLorax.

To be serious for a moment... The fact that ILX is giving him more than the usual newbie hazing over that Florence shit is one of those moments that makes me actually proud of ILX.
Like all the conversations and discussions we've had are actually starting to sink in and the penny has dropped. When you have the entire open goal of Florence's music and how awful it is, just sitting there and you go for insulting her appearance, that's not just lazy thinking and bad writing, it's sexist shit and sexist shit has real life consequences.
I know dude is so oblivious he's probably gonna go on now about how we "can't handle his banter" and bonus points if there's a "make me a sandwich" joke involved (see how engrained this shit gets, that I can internally make the insults before dudes make them.) This shit is insidious, that it's not the one dude who thinks he's hilarious, but the way that all the males on a messaeboard who could go either way (who could be reasonable posters or could act like pillocks, before anyone makes any LJ jokes) take that example. So it makes me heartened to see people calling him out on it, even if he's too clueless to even recognise what he's being called out for. It's one of those cases where I think peer pressure can actually work in a way that 100 carefully argued threads about gender can't always.
It's actually heartening. So no one spoil my moment, please.
