Forum:Alex Meinhold's blog

We have the domain meinho.lt so we can set up character information sites and in-universe versions of sites mentioned in stories. Since the character starts out as an MRA, we should create a fictional MRA blog where she goes on rants about feminism, and generally make her into an MRA caricature like ChristWire.org or something like that. It would be funny to do as a parody of MRA arguments. DondreKhan (talk) 09:07, 4 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I am strongly disinclined to support any action by you that involves pretending to be fictional characters. You're probably going to let them run away with you and start getting way too serious and wasting time on their interactions, let alone inciting drama.  As you are definitely aware, she is 16 during the phase that you are mentioning, so it's a little weird that you want to pretend to be a 16 year old girl.  If you can restrict it to a single website and you can get other people involved in it with you so it just doesn't turn into one of your weird clusterfucks, then go for it, but don't start trying to debate people in blog comments or something.

 * There's nothing weird about running a parody site. Look at ChristWire.org.  DondreKhan (talk) 11:44, 4 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Except that you are inevitably going to take it way too far. Honestly, just write a story.  You can write about a feminist seminar that she crashes in high school or something like that.  Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 12:43, 4 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Also, what the fuck would even be the point? Unless you can commercialize it and get back some sort of investment, it's just a moronic way to spend time.  Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 12:44, 4 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I'm going to have to agree. In an era where the Onion is taken seriously by many people despite it being obvious parody and people on Tumblr having meltdowns over out of context tweets, I think you're probably asking for trouble at this point. Also, unless you can get some sort of return from it, I don't see the point either. Arcane (talk) 13:05, 4 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Listen to Arcane. MRAs taking seriously and citing could be funny, but you're going to have people who seriously believe that the blog represents someone the character's warped views.  You're also going to inevitably have someone think that they're actually your views and write a long winded rant under your real name about how you support various nonsense, or worse, it could be attributed to one of us.
 * I really don't see the point of spending time to write flawed anti feminists rants from the perspective of a 16 year old girl, especially when the posts will be backdated to 2006, which will mean that most people in the blogosphere probably won't bother to read them since they'll look like really old news. Eight years is absolutely ancient for computers.  You also need to be aware that taking the identity of a 16 year old girl and ranting against feminists is going to get you tons of weird messages from neckbeards.
 * The only way in which I could see this being a viable thing is if it were a supplement website to one mentioned in the story. If you mention that Alex goes on a rant about feminists in class and then writes about them on her blog, then it might be interesting to actually have something there from that date for the people who actually go to the site from the story.  There's plenty of TV shows that do this.
 * @Arcane we've got two websites so far one on Alex and one on Heinrich. The one on Heinrich was done by me in response to DondreKhan's persistent virgin name calling.  Alex is also designed to physically look like him, at least in the hair.  He had layered girl hair!  There's also a big fixed position disclaimer on Alex's site saying that it's in universe and should not be taken seriously.  I deleted one of DondreKhan's statements about feminists that I believed to be too far.  He also has absolutely no hostility toward feminism.  I can testify that this is entirely from the perspective of our character.  Lieutenant S. Reznov (talk) 14:32, 4 June 2014 (EDT)
