Will someone here please tell me what the fuck is going ON?

There's a fair bit going on on the board at the moment, dear, if that's what you mean. What's troubling you?

I have no idea either. Just nod and smile politely like I do.

Well, the thing that would specifically have me asking wtf's been occurring is the exponential multiplication of threads with the word 'joycore' and related derivatives in them, and the concomitant feud between Rage, who appears to have turned into that irritating nongirl from 'The Girl Most Likely To', and Flux.

And the sudden massive case of identity theft.

I suspect it has something to do with Mars being closer to the earth than ever - some kind of mageddon-style Global Tetchiness Spike - but it would be nice if someone would explain basically

(a) what all this joycore business is

(b) how it relates to the Rage/Flux contretemps.

Could someone explain how all this came to pass? Thanks.

As to my ID, Cass, I used to be velvetvandal, but I decided to upgrade my fictionsuit now that I'm operating at a higher level of magic.

I too am very confused by all the coring, I'm staying well out of it, ditto the flux/rage business. Ho hum, barbefeuds...

"I decided to upgrade my fictionsuit now that I'm operating at a higher level of magic"

(a) Who could say? Personally I blame it on Flux, Todd and Lolita.

(b) Who could say? But Rage is all like psychic separatism and Flux is all like Joycore and you just can't have two fads at the same time. Plus, you know, they just don't like each other.

Could someone explain how all this came to pass?

Unfortunately I'm not wise enough for that, I suggest one of the old one's take up the explanation from here.

I think this thread is what so upset our Rage.

JOYCORE - I believe it all started here, in Flux's blog. Check out the post about The Danielson Famile.

Duncan, it may have been what set of Rage this time, but she's been into the 'I'm one of the higher evolved special people' fascism thing for ages. And they claim young people today have short attention span- Ooh, feet!

Aren't loads of people here into that, though? I am a wee bit. Sometimes.

Sometimes not, though.
