IC ANON MEME

THE IC ANON MEME


RULES AND INFO

Everything must be from an IC in-world perspective. The meme is specifically a Legion fandom meme. UP citizens, Legion World Staff, and Legionnaires all have access to the meme. While this meme is in the meme comm, it is real in the game universe and all the Legionnaires and the public can see ICly it. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post to the meme, this meme operates like real world memes like rpanons.

There are 3 ways to post. When posting as non-Legionnaires do it anon. When posting as Legionnaires that unwisely comment unanon, just do it logged in. If posting as Legionnaires going anon, do it logged in, but mark "anon" in the subject, so we know it's anon, but can have a laugh over which Legionnaires are secretly stanning or shitposting.

Not necessarily a rule, but keep in mind that attitudes in the UP are different than our world. Most people are referred to generally as "people" or "sentients" instead of species-specific terms like "humans." Most racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and other "ist" attitudes are now uncommon among most species in the UP. Many sexual orientations exist, polyamory and polygamy are considered acceptable, and gender identity is very flexible. Species-based xenophobia tends to be the bigger social ill and even with that, many are against it. The species that are most disliked and distrusted are Durlans, Daxamites, and Roboticans. If you want to use them for fun, common UP cursewords have been added to the Legion Basics page.

Beyond sticking to those basics, don't worry about getting anything "wrong." It's a meme and people tend to say stupid things on memes. You can even make up fake species and planets and details about them. The UP is huge and has lots of planets and species not mentioned in the game info.

You can pretend to write things from the POV of Legion staff sharing the deets on the Legionnaires. However, they wouldn't share tactical info on the Legionnaires that could get them hurt in battle, only juicy gossip. Also, if someone is writing from the POV of Legion staff and writes something about your character that your character doesn't actually do, keep in mind that half the time people make shit up. It'll just be false gossip.

Try to keep anything that can't be put behind a link sfw. While you can write someone sharing the start of their steamy slash fanfic, try to keep it limited to just part of it. Linking to fanart as if it was made in universe is a-okay, but just make sure to put it under a link and warn if it it's nsfw. Please check character ages before posting any nsfw stuff to make sure they're over 18.

Feel free to get really crazy. Fandom gets crazy and fandom is no different in the glorious robot future. There are normal posters, shitposters, trolls, rpf ficcers, stans, slashers, all the same things our time has. There are macros and gifs and ongoing fake memes you can make up. There will be a few preposted topics but you can make up new ones or just have anons create new topics or troll.

The meme is generally modless and has no thread-freezing. Fandom plays it dangerous in the future and the ic mod rarely intervenes, though anons sometimes try to get them to. Anon comments can be deleted by the real mods at the request of players (like say if they made a formatting mistake and want to repost) but there should be no need to delete anything beyond that since it's all IC.

I feel like I'm definitely outting myself a little bit here, but...

Holy shit, you guys are assholes.

I mean, I had hoped that a handful of centuries passing and contact with more species would help, but people are people wherever they're from, apparently. Something goes terribly wrong and you find somebody to turn on and flame to hell and back just because...what? He has ancestors that were evil?

Seems to me that, for all that you guys seem to revere the Legion, you've forgotten a lot about what's gone before. I've been reading up on the history of the Legion and about the various members of the group. Not just the recent displacees like myself, but also the current members and the missing ones.

You know what I learned?

Superman trusts Brainiac 5. Now, I might be misreading things, but you guys all seem to really like Superman. At least, judging by the thread about the one we have in the Legion at the moment. But everything I've read about Superman says that he's a good judge of character and is a really great guy to boot. Not the kind of person you could see befriending someone who was a traitor, right?

From everything I've read, all the reports about what happened? What happened to the Legion was terrible, but it was an accident. Something that you jackasses only make worse by heaping all this hatred on somebody who doesn't deserve it. Who feels terrible enough about what has happened to begin with and you just make it worse by ignoring the fact that he's...not some emotionless automaton that you can verbally punch over and over again and it won't affect him.

You people want to say that you revere the Legion and that you want to be like the people in it? In this case, you don't even have to ASK what the Legion would do, because they're already doing it.

Long live the Legion.

You may trust him now, but you'll regret it when he vaporizes you too.

Maybe I've just been there myself. Ever think of that? We get into the heroing thing from a lot of different backgrounds, after all.

None of you has been here for very long. It would make you much easier to deceive.

Wow. You guys have a lower opinion of our intelligence than even your mental image of Brainiac 5 does. That's kind of impressive.
