And the WSFS and File 770 people have been absolute assholes from start to finish--and not just assholes, but stupid assholes.
I've just seen the summary at synecdochic's. I am not even a particularly fannish writer (do not vid or draw, write about one piece of fic a year, started a full decade after my pro career was established; I host it all on AO3, of course, but it's not my sandbox) and I don't understand what anyone at the WSFS is thinking, except things that I do not consider valid reasons for bad behavior. It's like watching someone set fire to their own feet.
they sent the OTW a statement to post on the AO3 news page
Well, that's stunningly passive-aggressive!
It's like arguing with the spirit of 2002, if the spirit of 2002 was a fucking numpty.
I have started referring to it as a dumpster snowball: it's not quite enough of a crisis for a dumpster fire, but is is garbage and it just keeps going.
