menstrual_cups is full of unfunny troll posts today. I find I mind the unfunny more than the trollage by some way. Boo

Body image issues are thought to be completely normal for women these days. Over the last couple of decades the diagnostic criteria for anorexia have changed because you can't call half of the female population mentally ill.

[edithmatilda]

Can't you? Why not? If you can call half of us mentally ill you might then start taking the fact that this has happened to our brains a bit more bloody seriously. Bastards. I'm not sure who, just Bastards, generally.

[diarytypething]

The patriarchal medical establishment and their ticky-box culture? Or do you mean the people who arbitrarily decided that women inherently don't look right and should change that if they insist on being looked at by men.

[edithmatilda]

All of the above, I think.

Damn. I was hoping his wankerish tendencies were because of the Brain Chaos. He's on my List, you see.

[edithmatilda]

I suspect it's a bit chicken-egg. Mainly I need to believe that it is not evil for me to make up wee stories where he goes insane at 3am in his bespoke silk snooker pyjamas and starts yelling about how much he hates snooker, and has to phone John Parrott to be calmed down.

[twofootsmall]

It would be more evil were you not prone to the same Chaotic tendencies yourself (I mean Brain Chaos in general, not phoning John Parrott. Clearly if it were the latter then I would have to discontinue our association.).

Or something. I like the stop worshipping me bit very much, particularly as he already does this with BBC interviewers.

[edithmatilda]

Actually John Parrott is probably very calming if you're going mad at 3am. He'd be better than the out of hours service at university, anyway, but that's not saying much given that the guy on there once accused me of "having a laugh" when I phoned in a bit of a hysterical state about a friend who was threatening suicide. And given that said guy recognised my voice, how stupid did he think I'd have to be to carry on with a non-anonymous prank call?

Presumably if Ronnie is God, one of his children will turn out to be some sort of hippy variant who brings the love and wonder of snooker to all who believe in him/her. So the BBC are very silly to sack Clive when they just need to wait a few years. Tsk.

The trolls were all from idiotic comms like ohnotheydidnt and some of its spin-offs. Stupid kids.

There's a post about it on sf_drama, cept its flocked http://community.livejournal.com/sf_drama/1870281.html?style=mine

That explains why they weren't very amusing then. I gather people had fun mocking them, though, so may have a look at the screencaps later.

Seriously, though, it should not be hard to mock menstrual cups. Fail, trolls.
