I wanna bang on the drum all day

[mimesere]

Travis McCoy is made of adorable. He's all :D :D :D about playing drums. Aww Travie.

And you know, it may be small and petty of me, but I keep a list of all the people who said stupid, offensive, non-researched, just plain wrong things about bandom and every now and then I like to pull out that list and silently judge them for it. Where by "silently," I really mean, "I like to loudly rant about it to anyone who will listen."

My favorite of these things is the assertion that the only reason anyone liked bandom was because it was made of white dudes.

AHAHAHAHA. I can't even decide which icon to use to show how wrong that is.

...you know, I am going to choose to believe that was the first person I thought of, because it's so much funnier that way.

Well, none of us are posting the imaginary conversations we would have with the bandom folks if they were our maid, so it's easy to see where the confusion comes from.

WIN.

Oh, Sheila. You know Pete Wentz and Gabe Saporta and Alex Suarez and Ray Toro are all secretly white! Just like Greta Salpeter and Vicky-T and Maja Ivarrson are all secretly dudes.

hee hee hee.

[ladysorka]

Ugh, yes. People, why are you so stupid?

Except for Travie. Travie is awesome and adorable put together in a very tall package.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I don't know! But I like judging them for it.

And Travis is made of awesomeness.

[missmollyetc.livejournal.com]

Suck it, haters! ::coughs:: I mean...no, that was what I meant. People are stupid and bandom is kickass.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

People are very stupid! And like, the sheer stupid it takes to make that assertion with very visible people of color is maybe what offends me the most.

Oh people. Don't hate us 'cause our canon is more fun. Or do, whatever, we win anyway.

[missmollyetc.livejournal.com]

We totally win! Because, amongst other things, we have many, many people of not only different races, but different faiths, and possibly sexual orientations. It's like the Musical UN over here, and some people just don't like it.

I would have believed that Pete Wentz was white, based entirely on the fact that teenage!pete looks like a fucking clone of my sister, right down to the skin tone. UGH SERIOUSLY. I AM A LITTLE OBSESSED BY THIS, UNDERSTANDABLY I THINK.

Obelina judges them as well. She also judges me. D:

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

See, looking at wee Pete (really wee Pete, like when he's a toddler) before he became really enamored of the sunscreen is what makes it really blatant to me that he's not white. Oh, PETE WENTZ.

[minna.livejournal.com]

there are toddler!pete pictures and I haven't seen them? THE INTERWEBS HAS FAILSD ME D:|>*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

oh he is wee and ADORABLE. I will upload when I...find it.

[minna.livejournal.com]

[minim_calibre]

PLZ NOTE LACK OF WHITE DUDES IN ICON.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I remember you posting about this when folks were kerfuffling about stuff, and now that I've been sucked into bandom, I've been meaning to go back and find that post! Because, yeah. I thought it sounded pretty annoying then, when I didn't really know anything about the bands, and now it's extra annoying.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

The wank in and re: this fandom is HILARIOUS. I will try to dig up links for you :)
