I spent a large proportion of yesterday reading about the Final Fantasy 7 house thanks to the "soulbonding" wormhole you guys sent me on. Jesus bloody Christos.

5 minute summary???

Faith in Humanity: Restored (dayo), Monday, 25 June 2012 11:16 (fourteen years ago)

Insane young couple claim they are multiply soul-bonded video game characters from FF7 (and a host of other fictional characters), invite other young people in the fandom to stay with them and convince them the whole thing is real, take their money, separate them from their friends, hit them a lot...

No idea how much of the story is true (it seems to be fairly immature people in their early 20s, so could be a lot of dramallama interpretations, for one thing), but it's a complete mindfuck.

emil.y, Monday, 25 June 2012 11:34 (fourteen years ago)

too bad leon festinger isn't still around to write about FF7 house

Mordy, Monday, 25 June 2012 12:41 (fourteen years ago)

started losing my own sanity after about a page of those stories

I very clearly remember her putting on a lab coat and calling various medical supply companies in the yellow pages trying to get medical syringes.

she put on a lab coat so that she could trick the ppl she was calling over the phone.

wonderful.

have no time to read, have no energy to resist

So does the US Census regard "wolf" as an ethnicity or a race?

wow @ "there's no tipping"

some dude, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 18:27 (fourteen years ago)

Thanks, G! I've always read this thread as "Rolling This is Racist . . ." util now. Anyway, I can't believe this was a real thing. "Dinnertimin'" is pretty great though, it's true.

(✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 18:30 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, it's not racist if i start using "Dinnertimin" in my day-to-day life is it? Cos i might start doing that

Number None, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 18:44 (fourteen years ago)

Could imagine Tracy Jordan using that line.

I kind of feel like the whole patronising Orientalism thing is racist, but the clearly hyperbolic "I want to skin them and wear them" isn't. Unless it's playing to a stereotype I've never heard of?

emil.y, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:58 (fourteen years ago)

the inside of japanese ppl's skin is stereotypically soft like cashmere

Mordy, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:02 (fourteen years ago)

their skin is particularly buoyant so I can see why this would be troubling to whiney

wow @ "there's no tipping"

this is a very ilx response to this poster i think

Just saying. (stevie), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:23 (fourteen years ago)

btw if you watch the vid, it's not racist

puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 22:27 (fourteen years ago)

I didn't watch the vid because the article contradicted itself in the space of like three sentences

some dude, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 23:14 (fourteen years ago)

saddened that only on cynical ol' ILX would a poster aimed at black people that makes a virtue of "there's no tipping" be considered racist

I am going to an "Indian themed" party hosted by Very Rich, landowner, boarding school people tonight. It is fancy dress. The possibilities are endless. This family once had dwarfs serving drinks. I am extremely worried.
