Just when you think you've seen the worst in anti-RPS hysteria, along comes someone who claims that RPS (nd "reality shows") are signs of the imminent downfall of civilisation.

The. Hell?

No, seriously, the hell?

I mean, if you believe that, okay. But grand declarations that you won't be reading RPS, or watching reality TV, because you're "taking a stand" against ... against the end of the world, I guess?

*shakes head*

Excuse me, I need to go get food to stock up for the end of the world, and a TV so I can watch some reality shows, and then maybe I'll go write some RPS.

Edit: Link should work now.

Um...what?

I mean really, from this person's arguement it could easily be argued back that real people's public personas are fictional characters as well. Just created by an actor or musician instead of a writer. Bah!

Besides, I think I would at least be equally hurt if someone badmouthed something I created over something I was. Cause the creation takes a concious effort. And wanting to be an actor usually entails wanting to be famous. And any rational person would realize that people will think and/or fantasize about you if you're in the public eye. How is it any different if these ideas are written down?

Of course, these points have all been made and I'm just rambling. What is it with people on my friends list making me all rambly dammit!?

I hadn't actually thought of any rational replies or cmoebacks. i was kinda stuck on the part where I'm a sign of impending doom. *snicker*

I guess it's mostly that I've studied Roman history rather intensely for six goddamn years, and I know that contrary to popular belief, the roman empire did not crumble because of decadence or any sort of moral decay.

Oh, but silly Melle, you aren't just a sign of impeding doom. You are the bringer of the end of the world itself, what with your crusading (and even, *garsp* archiving fics) for RPS.

::Snickers:: I was trying not to do this...but...its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

...Am on sugar rush, sorry.
