This is how I would feel if I were Gale Hawthorne from The Hunger Games:
Ugly black and twisting ,
This anger that's inside
A hard lump beneath my chest
That's screams for you to die
I hate you with a thousand words
But I struggle to get out one
You're evil in the darkest way
You pull wings off flies for fun
You're Acid Burning through my veins
You're Venom on my tongue
I want to take your cold black heart
And see if it's actually numb.
I want to rip it into little pieces
And spit on it's remains
I need to make you feel this hurt
Before I go insane.
But I will stay silent, while my body burns alive
If looks could kill though, honey
I am sure you would have died.
A/N:
Fellow members of Fanfiction, we are unjustly under attack. A group called Eliminator! is threatening the safe community of free expression that we have all come to love and will not stop unless we do something about it. The freedom of speech is a right that the Internet has allowed all people to enjoy collectively and we refuse to be harassed, oppressed, and ridiculed into giving up this right. We cannot sit idly by and allow other people to determine what we can and cannot say. We need to make our voices heard. We need to take a stand.
As an author on Fanfiction myself, I know that sometimes you can spend weeks, even months on a story before even posting the first chapter. Stories that authors have spent months working on are being reported by the Eliminators for trivial, inoffensive things that, honestly, no one should care about. One poor author was flamed and reported for "unforgivable rape of the English language" in spite of the work they put into creating their piece of art (CaDeYbOi). Fanfiction only asks that writers edit to the best of their ability; since no two people the same ability, there is no clear way to judge whether they've edited as best they could and are underdeveloped writers or if they've neglected their duty and it is not the Eliminators' job to make that distinction. To call any story a "rape" is a violation in itself. Writing is an art form where people are able to express their ideas in abstract ways that not everyone will understand, the only "rape" is seen when self-appointed "gods" tell people what they can do: Mr Hanzo hattori revealed this in the FAQ forum as he decided that a description of death is only acceptable if no imagery, no metaphors, no similes, no sensory diction is used at all. The only rape of the English language is by not using the English language to its full potential. Now not everyone writes as eloquently as their neighbor and Fanfiction even asks us to lend a helping hand when they need it, but the Eliminators are a prime example of hypocrisy if they think that calling an author a "Mother f**king slut" or "a plague" or "mentally disturbed" or telling someone to not "get mad when [their] story gets flamed because it sucks" is helping anyone (Eliminators). Considering the Eliminators have repeatedly commented on how idiotic writers on Fanfiction are and reported individuals simply for being "jerks," it is ironic that the Eliminators would resort to using such foul and lowly vocabulary to express themselves rather than holding a level headed and intelligent conversation. The Eliminators are hateful people: CaDeYbOi even commented that he "just enjoy[s] insulting the person and reporting them" more than the actual act of doing "good" (CaDeYbOi). Even if their cause was noble, no one listens to insipid children.
