BRB DYING OF LAUGHTER

OK SO, there is now, right now, as an actual, not-intentionally-self-parodying thing, a Twitter account called @SFWAfascists that is - I shit thee not - a troll account set up to mock “Screeching feminist witches” within the SFWA.

And I just. OK. These guys? They set up a Twitter directory called PC Monsters of the SFWA, and it has backfired on them SPECTACULARLY, because the overriding reaction has been, “Hey, that’s a list of really cool people!

NEWSFLASH: THESE TWO SENTIMENTS ARE LITERALLY THE EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE OF EACH OTHER, and I am physically shaking with laughter that the person running this account doesn’t realise that. Like, the first one is all “you fascists can’t hack criticism! It makes you HELLA MAD!” and then the next one is all “you fascists find criticism hilarious and adorable, you don’t even GET mad because you’re TOO PRECIOUS!”

I bet their five whole followers are totally fistpumping, though. At least, the three or four who aren’t following ironically are.
