Someone should let GG know that there is a 12 page thread about him and his Twatting! And while they are there, flick James off! :flipoff:

You know what drives me crazy? When people consistenly refuse to use a character's name.
You mean at all? Like, calling someone "the interloper" or whatever? Or do you mean calling him or her by a non-show-sanctioned nickname--a name, but not their proper name? Don't ask me why this has me so intrigued, lol.
I mostly meant at all, like "the interloper" or "the rapist" (for 500, Alex) or "the kidnapper." But I've seen people do the other (though I can't think of an example), and that gets on my nerves, too. What I was thinking of was stuff like calling Belle "Starchy McPrim" or "Blandy McFrumples" (which, I won't lie, I LOVED and used a lot since her wardrobe and styling were so matronly most of the time) or Shawn D. "Shawn Duh."
But yeah, refusing to call a character by any name at all is a way to demean them. Though, I admit my brain always reads "the rapist" as "therapist." Which, you'll have to agree, has a very different meaning.

I understand aimee! Funny...I never thought I had such thick skin when it came to people calling names, but I guess I do. I find Rapemi kind of humorous...clever play on the names and it is fitting to boot! But really, it's all in the same mean spirit as Bryan's "manboobs" or Ari's mole. It's petty stuff. And just like those who are referred to as Rapemis are upset about the name, so are those who are offended that a rapist and his victim are potentially paired. I understand that. However, since EJ and Sami have never had a realtionship that wasn't fake, there really shouldn't be a name for them, should there? ;) So, calling real people names is just as offensive as the behaviors of fictional people? Riiiight.

That goes for people on the boards and EJ, but mostly people on the boards (depending on the context). She doesn't go by that. LOL. I have a real hang up on names for some reason. But the main reason for "the interloper", etc. issue is that those names could apply to anyone and often they apply to other people within the same storyline. Sometimes it fits with the flow of conversation, but other times people are just pissed at a character who's opposite their favorite and they just won't let them have a name. Brandon called her Samantha too.

Brandon called her Samantha too. Yep. And I hated him. And that was one of the reasons.

They're the only three I have exceptions for. The exceptions for John and Steve are there because it was kind of their thing and always seemed to be kind of joke. With Stefano, shortened names just sound funny coming from him.

Let me rephrase...it's in the same mean spirit as Lucas' manboobs and Nicole's mole. People pick out nasty features of a couple/character and use to it degrade and get their point across. Maybe it is just to vent. Rapemi isn't the first time or probably the last we will see of stuff like that...it is nice that it stays on fanbase pages though. However, it's fucking name calling. I try not to be so sensitive.
LOL about "the rapist" and therapist. I have mistaken those two before too! LOL!

I used to love when Stefano called Kate "Katerina". He doesn't do that anymore...now it is Kathryn. I like it. Roman called Kate "Katie" and I hated that. Kate is NOT a Katie.

It's not humorous to me, either. While I know it is just a show, I don't find rape on television entertaining, nor do I find a bullshit redemption of the perpetrator and consummate romance between him and his victim humorous, entertaining, or romantic. In fact, I found/find it extremely offensive, hence the offensive nickname for the coupling.
That's fine. Directing that anger at the fanbase by calling them the "rape me's"/rapemi's/whateverthefuck is extremely tacky to me though. I mean, seriously. It's really no different that when Lumi's are called Lumitards or Loonielumis for wanting Lucas and Sami together..Rapemi is not directed at the fanbase more so the couple....the other two examples I gave above are strinkly about Lumi fans...and I find those offensive...but realistically who cares? In the end...I know I don't....anymore at least.

I love how Stefano calls everyone by their full names, period. EJ is Elvis. Kate is Katherine. Sami is Samantha. Lexie is Alexandra. It makes him sound so regal, LoL.

Not offended by Galen's statement, in fact I co-sign his statement. Maybe not the most eloquently stated of opinions, but whatever. The only thing that offends me is fanbase wars fighting over who should have the fair hand of goddamn Samantha (sorry lysie) mutha fuckin' Brady! I truly detest the character, she ruins everyone she is paired with and the actress is horrendous.
That is all.
