Was it not safe?

It was just a neighbors coming in to tell the party to turn the volume down sort of intervention. With snark.

I know we can get a little silly - thank the Maker for the saner members bringing us down before we run out of oxygen up there.

What happened? o_o

Disco ball Fenris happened.

Hm, I'd characterize my position as requesting that the thread play better music as opposed to turn the volume down. I know the good music is in the collection - I've heard it before - but often the thread has the habit of putting the mediocre pop earworm on repeat.

Is it safe to come back into this thread yet?
Also, lovely artwork, as always. 

Depends on what you consider "Safe".

Ah, yes. I'll put it this way; is there going to be any chance of something like the "banana genitals" of Fenris happening again?

I swear, my mind turned to mush after reading those couple of pages... 
Not that I minded wallowing in the gutter, but it was getting out of hand. You people are crazy.

This is starting to get into Rachni Queen/The Mother territory.

Huh. I've always thought he was more of a rave light than a disco ball.

I now imagine him strutting along main avenue of Minrathous in a travolta manner while Staying Alive plays in the background and magisters have a wtf momentB).

-sigh- This thread is getting logical. That'd be my cue to leave -is too insane and perverted to hold a mature conversation over the internet for too long-

[Minxie]

We need another DA2 video that shows a split second of Fenris footage. Maybe there's another trailer coming out on Tuesday to coincide with the demo release?

Well, the issue isn't the perversion or insanity. The frustration comes the when people who want to have discussions based on actual information are drowned out in favor of squeeing over the fandom construct (which is frankly so all over the place I'm hard pressed to find ways to describe what I shall now call 'Fan-ris'). There's a way to balance that, and everyone clamming up the minute a more serious or analytical topic brought up until something silly or zomg hawt comes along isn't the way to foster an environment where all sides feel comfortable contributing.

I think you misjudge us and our motives.  There's nothing wrong with perversity and insanity, as long as it follows from a premise that can hold up to scrutiny.  Fenris as the short story describes him just calls for a different brand of perversity than seems to have caught on. 

It's like earlier I brought up the idea that Fenris reminds me a bit of The Fountainhead's Howard Roark.  That book does have a controversial sex scene in it involving that character.

This is making me have an epiphany. Or whatever you call it. I am going to attempt to seriously discuss him until my blackout.

This. Yeah.

I think I mentioned me being part of -and leaving- a fangroup of a character in the ME 'verse. The perversities and lack of any interest in serious conversation that lasted longer that a few posts was one of a myriad of reasons why. Not that it can't have it's place and be funny in spurts, but I much prefer to join groups where the silly is used as a sparing flavor on the more serious discussions. Otherwise, my own perception of a character becomes hazy beneath the 'fandom construct' (love that term, Yuki, I adopt it now.) and it throws the voice of the character off so far for me that it becomes difficult for me to write about them, or anything else.

Considering your mental stability, or thereof, your lack of mental stability, it'd be safe to say your endeavor will end in nonfulfillment.

Bolded the one that applies.

I refused to have my broGarrus image destroyed, and after having Thane's almost wrecked (and my fanfic with it), I never even attempted to join groups for the rest of my favorite ME characters.

I honestly don't know whether to be insulted or flattered.
