Random thought on the Boskonians - M Fnord - 03-27-2007
Quick cut-n-paste from the Fortress of Solitude:
*Mal-3 pokes @ fenspace, idly ponders... would it be going too far if the boskonians were really /b/oskonians?
KillJoy_: ...
Mal-3: It would explain a lot, especially the random casual cruelty we tend to write into them.
Mal-3: And outside of Nazis, I can't think of any more shootable mooks than /b/tards.

KillJoy_: BRILLIANT!

um, by /b/oskonians, do you mean Boskonians? As in, Eddorians?
Anyway, if so, here's where the one thing about fenspace gets to me. If this was supposed to be just Fans in space, it seems that adding Haruhi and, if you're going to do what it syas on this thread, Eddorians, this is going from being the fans in semi-soft SF to being self-inserts.
there's not anything wrong, per se, with self-inserts but i rather liked the idea of fans actualizing their fan fantasies in space themselves rather than being in a self insert.
anyway

Quote:Not exactly. "Boskone" is one of four or five different terms (raider, reaver, zwilnik, Black Hat, etc.) we've been using interchangeably for the main opponent group for the first big storyline - a coalition of mundane criminal interests and psychopathic fen. What I mean by /b/oskonians is that the psychofen in question come from 4chan's /b/ imageboard, which is the biggest and most concentrated pit of psychopathy on the internet. Or in their own words:

"You COMPLETELY miss the point of /b/. /b/ is not Fark "oh hay guys i found a cute link ha ha." /b/ is not Slashdot's pseudo-intellectual discussion. /b/ is not LiveJournal, SuicideGirls, or HotOrNot. /b/ is a place for people to be monsters- the horrible, senseless, uncaring monsters that they really are.
Tsunami owns the Asian continent and we laugh. Psychotic emo takes his sickness out on a cat and we laugh. A man rapes his granddaughter and we laugh, and ask for more. Suicide, homicide, genocide- we laugh. Racism, sexism, discrimination, xenophobia, rape, and baseless hate- we laugh. We are mindless "me-too"ism; we are irrational preference; we are pointless flamewars; we are the true face of the internet."
