[Yates Post] What we have here is a failure to communicate
Before any of you scumbags embarrass yourselves any more than you already have, it's time for a little history lesson. Apparently some people haven't been paying attention during your emoticons language class, so he's a little crash course. Clean out your ears and listen up to this excerpt from the Beiberpedia:
Ship/Pairing. Shipping, derived from the word relationship, is the belief that two characters are in an intimate relationship, have romantic feelings that could potentially lead to a relationship, or have another form of less intimate relationship, which may involve platonic friendship, or even violence. It is considered a general term for fans' emotional involvement with the ongoing development of romance in a work of fiction. Though technically applicable to any such involvement, it refers chiefly to various related social dynamics observable on the Internet, and is seldom used outside of that context.
Got it? Good, because I'm not repeating it. Since you punks are so behind in your history lessons, here's a short list of other terms you've been sleeping through:
OTP. One true pairing. This is your crazed fan's favorite pairing, usually coupled with complete obsession. Do not under any circumstances insult your fans' OTP. I'm watching you.
Slash/Femslash/Yaoi. The pairing up of same-sex characters, usually for purposes of fanfic or fanart.
Fic/fanfic. A fictional story about the characters, written by fans, for fans. Usually about your angsty-ass back story or two people hooking up and swapping spit (see OTP).
Mpreg. Man-pregnancy. You are a man who got pregnant, usually from another man. Through the butt.
Since you punks are so eager to catch up on the schoolwork you missed, we are canceling The History of Beiber this week to give you more time to answer your questions. Instead, read your damn book for once. Assigned chapters are eight through ten, and before I go back to reading through your embarrassing tumblrs, here's an excerpt. Memorize it.
The start of the Golden Era of reality TV (circa 2000 - Present) is commonly thought to correspond with the landslide defeat of ticket Sadaam-Beiber over presidential nominee George Bush; however, in reality the cooperation between the FBN and the Almighty Beiber began some time before that. The depressed economy that began in 1929 and continued through the late 90s made New England America an easy take for the cheap, affordable entertainment offered by startup company FBN. FBN's origins are an unknown, but they quickly rose to become a household name in 1999 with the startling amount of money poured into the classic television launch of Survivor, That's My Nana, and Two Men and a Sausage.
NBN's true rise to global stardom however came with their partnership with the young political hopefuls Saddam and Beiber (then known only as Saddam Hussein). FBN's financial backing was soon rewarded by a market monopoly over all broadcasts, as well as necessary improvements to communication infrastructure in order to better transmit the television that had already transfixed America. Soon, the successful entertainment company was pouring revenue into their native headquarters of New Jersey, transforming the once-desolate wasteland into the rich, lavish pride of the Northern Hemisphere. New Jersey's transformation and stark devotion to both the Almighty Beiber and FBN soon became a shining example for the rest of the world, revitalizing a global interest in luxuries such as fashion, merchandise, and lavish spending for the first time in half a century. With promises to deliver the same financial transformation to the rest of the country, the 2000 election was called in favor of Sadaam-Beiber within two hours of counting.
