New depths of stupid - an idiot twincest fan

Weigh in. Bash the fool. Since we can't lock them up and throw away the key.

Yes. A moron has decided to give the Phelps twins (who play GredandForge) photomanips of twincest. Good god.

Thankyou! I'm glad you jumped into the debate, I can't believe how people can't THINK from time to time. Even just a little

I've gone through it all, and I'm still shocked at the idiocy of the people who did that. And the ones that find it amusing... I can't even find words other than to say that it isn't funny in any way, shape or form. I feel awful for the brothers.

I'm still trying to figure out what could posess someone to do something like this. I enjoy fandom and want to keep it, not see it buried under a pile of C&D letters.

Sorry for ranting in your journal

My fandom mantra? Reality/Fantasy; learn the difference, people!

Unfortunately, no such luck. This was twice stupid and unforgivable.

First, it exposed the Phelps twins to something they didn't need to know and most likely never wanted to. It was a shameless and shameful invasion of their privacy.

Second, it was a thoughtless action that puts the fandom as a whole at a risk. Maybe not even a big one, but still a risk, and for what? So some little asshat could have a giggle. *bangs head on something hard*

People are idiots. I don't know why there are always some people who insist on dragging actors into fandom. It makes no sense to me at all.

Sheesh.

See, when I went to look, the pic is sadly unavailable because Le Fuckstick had it on assholengelfire account.

Please - somebody, anybody - tell me what the pic was of?
(Stick figure demos are acceptable.)

Actually, my understanding was incorrect. It was a photo of the two boys holding a sign that said 'Twins Against Twincest'. Not as bad as I thought by a long shot. It still put the boys on the spot when the girl explained what Twincest was to ask them to hold the sign. Really not fair to them. What are they going to say to a fan, no?

Eeek. That's still pretty bad - you know those crazy hetters, now they'll think we're all sick perverts thanks to one or two of them. :(

So from what I understand this fan (who clearly has her own anti whatever agenda) asked the twins to hold the signs for her picture and then she explained to them what the signs were for/about. Hence the reaction shot.

Unfreaking believable. The stupidity of some people just astounds me. You know she could have just asked them to make strange faces and photoshopped in a couple of signs. No need to give them nightmares about the sorts of things some fans are thinking about them. Bah!
