WB Rants: Yahoo Answers.
Werebelushi:
Yep, it's that time again - time for another Werebelushi rant. The topic of today's rant why are people on Yahoo Answers such dickheads? Seriously...why do they insist on calling other people out like that? Get this, my friend was doing a report on the novel Clan Of The Cave Bear and all they wanted was an expert opinion on the whole bear thing only to get accused of being lazy. That's just pathetic.
Ummm...excuse me? How does someone not reading the book or watching the movie make them lazy? That's just moronic. I mean I haven't seen the movie Midnight Express but yet a lot of people think i'm stupid and that I got Clockwork Orange mixed up for that movie, but thar doesn't make me lazy. I KNOW what the basic idea of Clan Of The Cave Bear is about - it's about prehistoric times and neanderthals, I DON'T need someone to try and point that out to me because I know what it's about. I DON'T need to be told to look it up on Wikipedia because I just did. It's NOT lazy if someone hasn't read the book or seen the movie, not everyone has read every novel in a span of 4 minutes or seen every book to movie adaptation known to mankind. I've never ever read any of H.P Lovecraft's novels but i've heard people talk about them on forums and I do know what an Eldritch Abomination is. I've read bits of the original Sleepy Hollow story and I saw the Disney version, but i've only briefly heard of the original story - that doesn't make me lazy though. I saw the Tim Burton version and I love that movie, I tried to like the Fox tv series only to feel both confused and disappointed by it.
If they're going to blame anyone, at least they could do the sensible thing and blame the idiot on a forum who thought it was something to do with werecreatures and totem animals or that it was some sort of therian/otherkin thing. Look, my friend was NOT asking for you to help them - all they were doing was looking for answers. They weren't being lazy at all, trust me. Seriously Yahoo Answers...where did you find these people? An asshole convention?
The book is pretty much about Neanderthals learning to domesticate animals and they adopt a child, from a human tribe - and raise her - and that girl growls up in their herd or tribe so to speak. And the titular cave bear is the animal this particular tribe honors. As far as I know, there is nothing spiritual or supernatural about it. When the girl is clawed by a lion, while being stuck between two rocks - they understand her totem animal is a lion.
There...that's the basic premise of the novel in a nutshell. Straightforward and not a single dickheaded comment in sight. And no...it has nothing to do with therians or otherkin, whoever thought that it was deserves to be punished for their stupidity. You don't need to have read or seen the source material to know what it's about because sometimes it's better off not knowing what the original book was like. Like for example The Shining mini-series, that turned out to be laughably bad and yet King prefers it over the Kubrick version despite the fact it was closer to the source material.
It's not lazy at all to have never read a book that had its own movie adaptation, I mean lots of people have seen the movies but don't even know that some of them used to be books or comics/graphic novels for that matter. Also about the 'It's a question and answer site not a teen drama whine zone' thing, dude...have you ever seen Yahoo Answers recently? It's full of drama inducing questions such as 'What do I do if my boyfriend doesn't like me just because I have a blemish?' 'I'm having trouble in bed due to my wife's constant snoring..what do I do?' 'OMG you guys i'm like totally molting...am I turning into a bird?' and other stupid questions that do nothing but come across as something you'd see on an episode of something like Melrose Place or those teen drama shows. Seriously...why is everyone so mean spirited towards my friend even though they have more problems than even I can count? Is everyone just going through an angsty phase in which they act like cycnical assholes for no reason?
There's a reason my friend asked about the email protected thing...it's because of this one dickheaded forum admin who tried to give them advise only for them to turn into a two-faced weening loser who pretty much hated them just because every other troll at the time was doing so. I'm sorry but it was pretty much that person's fault to begin with.
I mean if you're going to give people advice...at least not sound like an asshole while doing it. Oh and try to be more original when it comes to ideas. I mean really? A vampire that ages? That's been done before, you know. The Dorian Grey aging thing? It's been done before too, having an immortal character age defeats the point of being immortal to begin with - immortal means ageless - as in they'll never grow old. I mean what's next? A wereshark that can only revert back from shark form if he's on land? A seahorse merman who can only give birth to female seahorse merchildren instead of male and female? A plutarkian that that smells like roses? Also about the new Pokemon concept...what else is there to be a Pokemon version of? At this point even inanimate objects have a Pokemon based on them? What do you people want? A Killer Tomato Pokemon? A Gelfing Pokemon? Granted, you could make a Gelfing inspired Pokemon and have them be a fairy type or a grass type since Kira is intune with nature. Heck, there's already a Skeksis type Pokemon already in the form of Mandibuzz - you could even have Murkrow, Honchkrow and Fearow as Skeksis types if you were to do a Pokemon/Dark Crystal mashup. A Deadite Pokemon? A Necromonicon Pokemon? A Reanimator inspired Pokemon? A Sleepwalker (as in the cat creatures from the Stephen King movie) inspired Pokemon? A Chud Pokemon? A Cujo Pokemon? A Christine Pokemon? Heck, i'm still waiting for a koala Pokemon - it's been 6 generations and still no koala.
If I wanted to watch a drama, i'd watch an actual drama like Grimm or ER - thank you very much. And for the record, yes - I LOVE ER. Again...it's the Clooney. So in conclusion, i'd like to say that everyone on forums and the like tend to act like assholes including on Yahoo Answers and i'd like to tell them all - to stop doing it because they're only making themselves look like idiots.
So there you go. If they stopped acting so moronic, my friend wouldn't have been treated so shabbily like that. I'm That Werebelushi In The Shades and this has been my rant on people who act like jerks on forums and on Yahoo Answers, now if you excuse me i'm going to go a George Clooney bingewatch...see you all later.
