I noticed something shortly after the very well-received Don’t Feed the Trolls panel at CONvergence’s SkepchickCON, once ZOMGItsCriss posted the video. People who otherwise have never seen the level of anti-Watson hatred that her mere existence incurs, were surprised and angered by the fact that the comments on Criss’ video largely ignored the fact that there were five other panelists present. As such, Watson only comprised a smallish fraction of the discussion — and yet, some folks’ comments ran along the line of “why would I listen to That Skepchick bitch whine hysterically about nothing for an hour? She should get raped so she loosens up, the prude whore.” (This is, of course, a composite of real comments on that video. Edit: For skeptics of this exceptional claim, like “…” in the comments, click this to see a Youtube comment that’s very, VERY similar.)
That sort of shit was exactly our point, and it appears to have catalyzed at least one bystander to radicalize against that sort of trolling.
The last night I spent in Minneapolis, Skepchick Kammy held a barbecue at her place for the participants of the SkepchickCON track. At one point, Kammy’s son pressganged his parents into moving the attendees into their driveway so they could set off the remainder of the fireworks (left over from the celebration a few days prior, when Minnesotans celebrate Three Days After Canada Day in a sweet, but odd, gesture to your neighbors to the north). We pulled our chairs out from their back yard and set them up to watch the firework display, and I found myself setting my chair up near enough to Watson to pronounce loudly:
“Well, I was really looking forward to seeing this firework display, but now that I’m stuck here next to Rebecca Watson, it’s just ruined for me. I mean, who wants to listen to her sit quietly for an hour?”
She made a pouty face and picked up her chair and shrank back into the background, behind some low branches of a nearby tree. “Nope, still ruined.”
Conversation quickly turned to other things she ruined, like that time she blew up the natives’ tree of life to get at the Unobtanium under it. Which you have to admit was a kinda douchy move on her part.
“Or you remember that time that she was on a rope bridge and pulled the heart right out of that guy’s chest and ate it? ‘Kali mas!’”, offered one anonymous participant whose initials are RW.
So what other experiences do you folks have with Rebecca Watson ruining things?
(Side bets on how long ’til trolls appear?)

She fired at the oil fields and they lit up like the eyes of Allah. Burning oil rained down from the sky and cooked everything it touched. I could only hide myself and cry as my goats were consumed by the fiery black liquid death.
In the midst of the chaos, I could swear that I heard my goats screaming for help.
As quickly as she had come, Rebecca Watson was gone.

Hi. This is my first my first session at Rebecca Watson Anonymous. My name is F, and Rebecca Watson ruined my life. I lost my job of 15 years, my wife of 20 years, and my two lovely children, and most of my friends. My relatives have disowned me. I now live below a highway overpass. I admit that I have a problem, that I need help, and I’m willing to hand my life over to a Higher Power. I’m ready to change, and to be a better person.

9 5 2 5 3 3 1 5 1 2 1 6 5 <- all digits added
\_________/ \_________/ \_________/ \_________/ \_/
7 2 7 9 5 <- final sum
It is evident that "Rebecca Watson" is symbolized by 72795.
Divide by 69 - the symbol of sinful perversion. The result is 1055.
Multiply it by 24 - this is the answer to the ultimate question of life, written backwards. This yields 25320.
Add 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar - you will get 27332.
Subtract 1994 - the year Jeffrey Dahmer died in prison. This gives you 25338.
Subtract 8691 - the year of Martin Luther King's assassination, written backwards. This gives 16647.
When you take 1957 - the year Osama bin Laden was born - then write it backwards and convert it to octal, you arrive at the very same result.

Rebecca Watson ruined the finest restaurant in Melb Australia.
I was in a rush to get to a personal (or so she said) appearance by Miss Watson. The cafe is in the very busy centre of Carlton, acknowledged as the beating heart of the food capital of the Southern Hemisphere.
As I was running late I pulled into the first carpark I saw. Miss Watson arrived fashionably late and proceeded to drink heavily. Swanning in as she did in her tight fitting jeans and one size too small t-shirt she immediately became the centre of attention.
Miss Watson has perfected the vulnerable little girl look and all male eyes were upon her.
Her talk was engaging and thought provoking. Her topic was ..” Be a skeptic, just don’t be a DICK about it.” (Caps mine), but I think everyone knew exactly what she meant. Everyone could tell she was looking straight at me. After the talk she told everyone that she was very tired and was just going to have one more drink and go to bed early. ( hahaha.. yeah right!)
Well I waited for the crowd to thin and bought her a drink and took it over to her. She said she’d had enough and was going to bed! What a tease! I left the bar feeling rejected.
So I went out to get in my car and I had got a ticket…$80! If Miss Watson had not led me on so salaciously, I would not have been so angry and smashed the glass I stole on the footpath, was arrested and did 90 days in lock-up cos of outstanding warrants. Greasy Joe’s wont let me back in until I finish paying for the front window. So you can see it’s all her fault.
It’s all in the past now and I don’t even recall Rebecca Watson’s name.

Elipsis, since you refused to actually explain how you were contributing to the last conversation you were involved in derailing, and since you contribute nothing but hatred of all things Watson for no apparent reason, you’re in moderation. Answer my charge at the linked post if you want to prove you’re actually interested in discussing things instead of just adding to the background radiation of hatred that Watson already experiences.
I’m sure our discussions about tangential matters will sorely lack in your expressed hatred and that you’ll claim censorship or groupthink or some other contrafactual nonsense. But don’t worry, there will be no shortage of hatred expressed about Watson in your absence here. Since every component of the composite I wrote above is actually very easily findable on any Youtube video containing even the words “Rebecca” and “Watson”, even if she’s not on the video itself, don’t worry. People will know you and others really, really hate her.

Well, I’ve long learned that facts or reason are not wholly welcome here, so why should I supply them? But to answer to your question – fascinating thing, question about driving the conversation forward; to where, exactly? – I am eager to know why this nonentity continues to command such an audience. The phenomenon has the same grotesque fascination as Sarah Palin does. Just how do we get to a point of such decay that someone like that can be voted “most influential atheist” ahead of Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Maybe it’s something in the middle class American mindset, I don’t know.
Enfin. This festival of self-pity has been going on for a year, during which any attempt to address the real oppression of women elsewhere has ranged from the slim to the nonexistent. To take an example from today, you can see Taslima Nasrin’s put up truly horrendous examples of the crime of acid-throwing. I guarantee you that this will attract less attention, and be quickly forgotten in the endless parade of the self-pity of the privileged.
I’ve had sharp disagreements with Maryam Namazie, but she’s a real fighter with real guts, and it has not escaped my notice that her work on actual oppression receives less than a hundredth of the attention that the drone does.
