misscamStrap yourself in children, it's a bumpy ride.
As I ranted about in a previous post, I've come across a group of people who seem to believe Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan are gay, and in a relationship but the Evil!PR!Suits cover it up and force them to pretend to be straight. Okay. The 'fans' of this, if you will, apparently used to post at the Data Lounge, but for various reasons now have a place of their own (they're known as Data Lounge Refugees - DLR) where they post their truths. They call this Canon.
Gaaaaah.
It gets scarier. Apparently, the mum of this board thinks that Dominic and Elijah actually *post* on Data Lounge. And they come up with colours that the actors will wear at certain appearances, and then when they do, call it a shout-out to the 'true fans'.
Gaaaaah to infity.
They also, for various reasons, bash Sean A. and apparently also Sir Ian. Why? Beats me. Also, they think Orlando and Viggo are also gay. The evil, evil PR people keep them in the closet. I want these PR people, damnit. If they can do all this, they are so the people to help me take over the world.
Some DLR people also write RPS fic. Behold, an excert! (From a fic called The Wedding, by Becs. I claim no ownership and am quoting for reviewing purposes only)
Sean watched Dominic and Elijah from the other side of the room as they circulated, and tried not to feel isolated and uncomfortable. It wasn't working. He had made small talk to friends and, while nobody was being actively unfriendly or hostile, he could sense an underlying unease in their interactions with him. He wanted to protest that he wasn't the man they supposed, but he knew deep down that he probably was and the thought made him miserable. He loved Elijah. And Dominic? Dom wasn't that bad really, an ok guy if you ignored the over-confidence and immaturity. It wasn't even that he disapproved of their relationship, or any gay relationship per se. But the key here, (and why couldn't they understand it?), was that he needed to be seen to disapprove of them. After all, he had a burgeoning political career to think about. He couldn't be seen to be allying himself with a couple who had basically told the US government to shove their policies up their arses, even if they were good friends of his. Jesus fuck, why couldn't they understand that he didn't really frown on them (although the marriage thing was a bit pathetic and one flouncy, dramatic gesture too many in his opinion, after all they'd probably get divorced in a couple of years anyway. Well, maybe three). His thoughts were interrupted by Ian who had quietly made his way to Sean's side and stood next to him, staring at Dominic and Elijah.
And more!
"Mr Astin," the young female reporter with a microphone in her hand began speaking to him. "I'm Becs, from the Hamilton News. In light of your recent comments, we were wondering why have you attended this gay wedding today?"
Sean smiled, and tried to look cool and in control. "It was a last minute decision, I had planned on making a trip to New Zealand in any case, so I thought I would just show my face briefly."
"Does this now mean that you support gay weddings Mr Astin? I know that you and Elijah Wood were very close during your time filming here. Did you know he was gay when you first met him."
"I think that is irrelevant, don't you? Elijah has been my friend for a long time now. And he asked me to attend. So that is why I came."
"I understand that you had a big falling out with the rest of the cast when you denounced their relationship last year when they came out."
"Look this has all been covered before. I'm here for Elijah, that's all."
Becs looked at her partner, camera in hand, ready for the ultimate front-page photograph.
"You stood up and denounced gay relationships, when two of your closest friends are gay. Why was that?"
"Ok, I've said enough now. I'm here for Elijah. Not because he's gay, not because he is getting married. I'm here because he is my friend."
"So, you still stand by your original statement that 'gay weddings are irrelevant, and serve no purpose, except to mock the civil society that we live in'." The reporter quoted the very words that Sean had said last year, and he was fucking pissed at that. He had felt like shit when he had said those words, but he had to stand by them. He had no choice. Fucking hell. He just wanted to get out of there right now.
"Yeah, I stand by those words," he began, lying through his teeth. "They both stood up there today, like a husband and wife. But they're not, they're two men, two fucking men acting like it was the most normal thing in the world, when it isn't, and it never will be, and I will never condone such an act." And I fucking hate myself for saying this.
Sweet All-Father of Valhall...
They think they have a special connection to Dominic and Elijah. They think they know the 'truth'. They call their ideas 'Canon'. I'd be screaming 'LIBEL! LIBEEEEL!' at the top of my lungs (especially if I were Sean, poor guy) if this had happened to me. I mean.... Good grief. There's obsession and there's stalking. Even if both Dominic and Elijah were gay, the whole thing about the Evil!PR!Suits just boggles my mind. But what is most disturbing is the sincerity and self-importance of these so-called fans. Conceited much? Delusional much? And they call everyone who disagrees homophobes, which makes me even more peeved. Actually thinking Mr. Wood and Mr. Monaghan both having enough of a spine to admit to a serious relationship (if they had one) instead of lying is not being a homophobe, damnit.
These people boggle my mind beyond belief.
The forum itself. Only for the very, very brave

P.S If any faults in the explanation of this... weirdness occured, please blame it on my poor, widdle, shellshocked brain. Thank you.
