reenkaOkay, I really don't get this.
What's an 'other, lesser mortal'?? o_0 What is an 'insignificant' person? Why do people, uh, refer that way [as 'small'] to themselves in all seriousness without any apparent joking self-deprecation or realization this is the height of just... y'know, self-esteem issues? Eh? Whuh? Did I miss something?
Yeah, so apparently there's some sort of... thing going on in the meta-circles currently about Big Bad BNFs & their anti-communist ways or whatever and it's just sort of... funny?? heh.
What I find most amusing is how ready people are to perpetuate such a meaningless hierarchy in every aspect of their lives, including their online hobby. It's like, the person can't truly be a 'BNF', not -really-, unless you accept -yourself- as 'non-BNF'-- ie, a plebe, 'just' a lurker, and/or pathetic loser wannabe [or whatever]. It's funny I even say this 'cause I'm not one of those people big on self-confidence myself, in real life or online-- I'm totally constantly aware what a sad lamer I am. But. There's a difference between not being self-confident and being a willing Tool of the Man, while [of course] bitching at said Man [who, btw, doesn't exist because basically... THIS IS FANDOM, OKAY, NOT WORLD POLITICS] :P
I'm sorry I locked this, but. Wank = inconvenient, even though this is -my- lj, which means [generally] no one ever wanks hereunless they like me, but still. Uh. -.- And now I go to sleep.
