Any mostly rational person who has looked into the shared hallucination that is #GamerGate has no doubt noticed that it makes no damn sense whatsoever. (An alleged movement for journalistic integrity that embraces Milo Yiannopoulos of Breitbart?)
What you may not know is that there are things in this world that actually make LESS sense than #GamerGate. Here are five of them.
1) This dude in gold lame shorts.
2) This dinosaur on a bicycle.
3) This skateboarder
4) These creepy rabbits.
5) The couch dress.
(Real posts resume tomorrow.)
The couch dress looks fun.
All these pictures still make more sense than Gamergate.
Is that a Totoro hat?
You mean we’re not sitting in uncomfortable wire chairs while wearing gold lame shorts and cutesy hand crafted animal touques when we service the furinatti any more? When did this stop being a thing?!?!
When I saw the words couch dress I thought of this mantua that I’ve always called the sofa dress, which is more splendid if way less comfortable. (It’s at the V&A).

grumpyoldnurse – it was a directive from the Feminist High Council. The Furrinati Overlords informed them that the novelty had worn off.
Purple toupee and gold lame. . .
blame They Might Be Giants.
Here’s my contribution to the pictures that make less sense than gamergate.

Why do most pictures embed and some post as a link? I’m confused. Dastardly wordpress!
Bike-riding Dino has all my admiration for making such a clunky costume work. (I’m assuming he’s on his way to a Halloween costume party.) And Skateboarding Suit Guy is actually quite dashing. But yeah: Gold lamé shorts AND a crocheted piggy flap hat? Even the cat wants nothing to do with it.
Does anyone recognize what character hat wire hard chair guy is wearing?
kittehserf. I once had to wear a dress like that, just not _quite_ as wide, as a costume for an opera at school. Great fun to get around on stage. Not quite so much fun getting in and out of dressing rooms and through the wings. Even less fun trying to get into a very average sized cubicle in the loos. At least the weirdly shaped hoop was made of some fairly flexible stuff so you could, sort of, bend a good part of the bulk around you, but it was bloody difficult at times.
Some one on the FHC hates me. ::takes off silly touque and stands up from uncomfortable wire chair, but keeps gold lame shorts::
Somewhat gg related, not sure if David has seen this one yet…
Meet ‘Polina’ aka Eva Braun. The artist claims there is no relation to Vivian James, but it basically looks like a nazi clone of her to me, but with blond hair.

I think proxieme is right, gold lame guy is wearing a Totoro hat.
He also has more than a passing resemblance to grumpycat.
I’d say because your URL doesn’t end with a recognised image extension (.gif, .jpg, .png) so WordPress doesn’t know the URL points to an image.
It’s an obvious, lazy trace-over of one of the popular Vivian James drawings. I assume the “no relation” comment is in reference to whatever ridiculous backstory the artists have invented for their fictional people.
Early on, it occurred to me that the only coherent argument to be made against GG trolls was the Dadaist/surrealist one. I think I accused a guy of being the hallucination of a tree dying of copper poisoning.
“When I saw the words couch dress I thought of this mantua that I’ve always called the sofa dress, which is more splendid if way less comfortable. (It’s at the V&A).”
Perfect for shoplifting at the upright piano store.
mildlymagnificent – they made foldable panniers for the really wide dresses, iirc. The things were so wide they could hardly fit through palace doors, and that’s saying something. Mind you at least with the flat, wide ones you could sidle through some places; the domed ones from earlier, and the crinolines of the 1850s-60s, were another matter altogether.
grumpyoldnurse – nah, don’t blame the FHC. You know the Furrinati were just waiting for everyone to have their caps and lamé shorts before they said “Bored now.”
Alex Murphy – eww, yes, I think someone posted that awful Nazi anime picture before. ::hurl::
Jon H – LOL true!
I know a real life Polina, and am therefore suitably offended on her behalf.
I’m beginning to understand that the phrase “/pol/ is always right” is really meant in the same spirit as “race realism…”
And how odd is it that both /pol/ and /r/worldnews, both ostensibly geared towards serious discussions about the world, are full of literal nazis?
Hmm… imaginary children spawned from a website commentariat seems to be all the rage these days. Perhaps wehuntedthemammoth should jump on board the bandwagon. In this time of vitriol and hostility, I think it would be irresponsible to have a human child, but perhaps a baby animal would work just as well?
I propose Trunks, the baby mammoth. A tad naive but with a sharp wit, an infectious laugh, and general high spirits, Trunks points and laughs at all the silly things ostensibly serious people get up to in the world. Sometimes the people he mocks start causing real harm, and that’s when his serious side kicks in, and he brandishes his stubby little tusks in defiance.
And, of course, atop his head is a perpetually sleepy kitty that occasionally convinces him to get into mischief, or at least knock the catnip down from the upper shelves. Everyone knows Fur E Naughty is the true brains of the operation.
What do y’all think?
BTW, little Fur prefers to go by Fen, the acronym of her name. Fur is rather a silly name, after all, from a silly previous owner who constantly misgendered her and proclaimed “‘E’s a nawty li’l ball ‘o fur.” “Fen” at least has a bit of dignity and mistique to it.
