You people have no idea how much I hate this new breed of fan that has snatched up the community in the absence of webmasters who aren’t massive tools. They make me hate Ghostbusters. They really do. I sit here at my computer and look at pictures of shit like these fucks.
These people make me hate Ghostbusters. These are the kinda guys who hang out on GB Fans and act like complete pretentious anal fucks. The one on the far right actually tried to insult me by telling me my proton pack looks awful. He actually said that, and he meant it. What the fuck is wrong with these guys? Ya know, There was a day in the community when a man was measured by his contributions and whether or not he was a tremendous asshole. Now apparently the measuring stick is anal retentive attention to details on something only you give a fuck about and everyone else could give less of a shit.
Recently a random douchebag on GB Fans DEMANDED RESPECT from Master Spider, and from what I can tell for no other reason than the fact that he had made a couple proton packs. Holy shit, that sounds familiar.
There was a day when being a Ghosthead was kinda cool. When we weren’t looked at like Trekkies or those MASSIVE tools in the 501st walking around pretending to be storm troopers. People didn’t look at us that way. But now, Thanks Afroman, Jabba, and Pedro the Pedo up there, we are gonna be looked at that way. Gone are the days when we were looked at as one of the cooler fandoms on the internet, Now thanks to these men, we look all look bad. The community has been taken over by a gaggle of fucking nerds the likes of which has never been seen before. I mean, how the fuck does the one guy leave the house looking like that? I’m not talking about the fat guy. I’m talking about the fucker with 70’s blacksploitation hair. How the fuck does he do it?!
Eh… My point is being lost here…
The truth of the matter is, I don’t wanna be a part of any of these message boards. I really don’t. The quality of people there is in the shitter and it’s never coming back. Just a bunch of social misfits and pompous propfags. I sincerely wish I had not clung to their definition of a community as long as I did.
What I REALLY want is to be able to enjoy Ghostbusters again. Simple as that. I want it to be able to feel good about being a Ghosthead again and the motherfuckers like the giant nerds pictured above aren’t helping at all. I know, most of you will ask why i’m so pissed about this. But look at these guys, man. Tell me you haven’t seen these pictures and thought about how these guys are out there representing the fandom. Do you realize that if someone were to randomly interview a Ghosthead at a con, they’d pick one of these freaks over me, or Belmont, Or Chrismer, Or the Yeti. They are what everyone is going to assume we are. It makes me sad.
The worst part is, it’s not just these 3 guys, GB Fans is loaded to the fucking gills with with a bunch of guys who look like Harry Knowles in flightsuits MORE than eager to jump in front of a camera and play the dancing monkey. I mean, Jesus Christ, There’s a group of 40 year old men who do it for charity. It doesn’t excuse it, but at least they have a reason. Most of these guys just do it because they don’t realize that they’re really being made fun of.
I know there are some of you out there, for which the dream lives on. The dream of representing the fandom respectfully and with dignity. You cool motherfuckers. You awesome motherfuckers. Who don’t put on their flightsuit to go to Hooters. Who can’t afford by vacuuformed proton pack parts from pretentious assholes, who think you should worship the ground he walks on because sucked enough cock on the corporate ladder to necessitate funding his obsession. Who don’t go to cons and pretend to be “in character”. Who don’t go around quoting the movie just for kicks. Who want to choke the living shit out of Adam Sessler. Those of you who don’t wear khaki suits with a “Venkman” nametag. Those of you who don’t own a “belt gizmo” because it serves no real purpose. Those of you who feel the same way about the leg hose. Those of you who don’t finish the phrase “Who you gonna call?” when some smart-ass screams it across the floor at a con. Those of you with one leg. Those of you that make the effort not look like complete shit. Those of you who put up with my angry ass when you really shouldn’t anymore. Those of you named Jen Spengler.
Back when I was ready to quit the whole deal, I stopped myself. But I wasn’t sure why. I think I know why now. It’s you guys. You’re the motherfuckers who keep the hope alive in me and give me the strength to not just call it quits on this whole thing. Believe me, i’ve been close a couple times. But I can’t let these motherfuckers win, man. I can’t do it. It’s just not in me. I can’t let Nightsquad’s awesome burn out because it’s being smothered in a sea of lamesauce and epic fail. Someone’s gotta keep the candle burning, man. Somebody has to represent those of us who don’t fucking suck at life. Otherwise we’ll all just become forgotten legend’s in the history of this community. I know some of you are apathetic to the process. But I don’t wanna go quietly into that good night. I don’t want these guys out there representing what I love at the cons with nobody like me around to offer the less-gay alternative.
I feel better about being a Ghosthead already.
I just love this fucking picture.
