Stand Up

So I've taken a stand against trolls before, and now for some reason I've declared it my job to keep the Jori fandom in line.

Let me tell you the situation.

On Tumblr we have the lovely tag "Jori" filled with the posts of Jade and Tori and adorable.

But recently there has been a pairing brought into light on Degrassi.

Enter Jake and Tori. Or as they like to call it, Jori.

This is a problem and the fandom reached a tipping point when after several weeks of silence a para was posted between Jake and Tori by a roleplayer.

Yeah. It pretty much blew up. The next thing the roleplayer knew their inbox was flooded with anons telling them to get out of their tag because we were here first.

For a while I just sat here and watched as the tag was flooded with responses to the anons crude messages. I only stepped in when I saw the ooc post that simply said this:

I’m not responding to any more of these messages. You can’t harass me out of the Jori tag, so keep sending the anons, I could care less. If you don’t like it, scroll past. That takes a lot less effort then sending me anons showing your ignorance. In the Degrassi world, Jori is Jake and Tori. Grow up and deal with it. You don’t own a tag

Well I was quite aware that would solve nothing. Almost no one has settled and argument with "Grow up and deal with it"

And so I sent him a message, off anon, explaining both sides. He calmed down and then I made a post to see if I could stop the harassment.

All in all I must say, after I posted saying we need to calm down so did three other people.

To end this on a clichéd note, it only takes one person. All you have to do is stand up.

Taking a Stand *UPDATE*

So me and the IMDb poster are cool again. Not that we ever weren't cool. Now I have decide to bash in the heads of idiot trolls!

I feel pretty good about it, but I'm kind of disapointed that their are people like that out in the world. At risk of sounding clichéd, if you don't have anything nice to say say nothing at all.

So yes. It's a good life for me.

I'm trolling's new sheirff and I'm bashing in the trolls!

(I like that the tag is 'taking a stande')

Taking a Stand

If you read the title and thought it was going to be some big inspiring story...sorry.

So the other day I made a comment on a message board on IMDb, it was a short little thing, not to many words, about Allison Scags
What I've noticed is she plays Crazy people alot.

Drake and Josh: Sent to mental ward
Mental: self explainitory
Warehouse 13: Checked herself into a mental ward

Today I got this as an answer to my comment

Seriously? You're going to label Claudia as crazy? Have you watched Warehouse 13? Because if you did, unless you didn't pay attention, you'd know she's far from crazy, even at that time she was upset because her brother had "disappeared" and though she knew what happened to him others didn't understand. There was a reason behind it and it was not due to her being crazy.

As for the Mental ep you're talking about, she was not crazy either. Her character was gender reassigned as a baby and she knew she didn't belong in the body of a girl. Even what she did in that ep can not be considered crazy except by people who are ignorant of the feelings of mentally ill people. Depressed people, as her character was, are not crazy. People who feel they're the wrong gender are not crazy either. You're being insensitive to people who've suffered with mental illness of any type by calling her 2 characters crazy.


I must admit my first reaction to this was being pissed off. I mean HOW DARE SOMEONE QUESTION MY LOYALTY TO WAREHOUSE 13????!???? But then I read it and I do see their point kind of. So instead of just letting them get away with their OWN assumtions, I took a stand. (Hence the title)

Okay. Fine. I see all your points, and perchance some things should have been re-worded. People who thought they were going crazy, but aren't.


The Mental episode, I can't saw that I saw it, but hey ignorance isn't an excuse now is it? Sorry for making false statments.


And conserning mental illness. I'd have to say crazy is a strong word, but before you call me ignorant why don't you get some of YOUR facts straight. In the past six months I have been doing reseach for a story about someone who has a mental illness. Calling her characters crazy, is somewhat like calling Native Americans, Indians. Not at all correct, but most people aren't going to blow up in your face if you say it.

Not that I mind the outburst, because I really don't. I'm glad that you will go through this to set the record straight. Just make sure you don't start jumping to conclusions.

Also, yes. I do watch Warehouse 13. It's my favorite show and Claudia is my favorite character. I regret that I made you assume otherwise

HA! Can't wait till they read THAT! I do hope they don't blow up at me again though...
