thebitterguyYou know what I miss? Occasional controversy. I'd write a Bitter Guide, and some Brazilian farmer would go ballistic because of a Mad Cow disease joke, or some Yankee conservative would rage that I was too nice to Al Franken or Mike Moore.
The best? Doing a review of some Shadowrun book (the one that was about magically active places, but was mostly about Australia) and I made a joke. The Dingo joke.
It went like this: "There are also magically active Dingoes, who won't attack adults, but will come into inhabited places and steal unattended children. If you're not careful, dingoes will Eat Your Baby. So you gotta be careful."
Which got me so darned flamed it wasn't funny. I was insensitive (which is just not true, and made me cry), ignorant (also not true; I remember A Cry in the Frickng Dark, for the love of Elvis!), and other falsehoods.
I blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
