The hardest I've ever been roasted is when I joking asked my friend what circle of Dante's Hell we'd be sent to, and then I said, "Oh, I'd go to the circle for homosexuals, right?" to which he immediately replied, "No, that's a mistranslation, it's a circle for the sodomites, not the homosexuals, meaning you'd have to actually have gay sex to go there."

My least favourite type of internet person is the person who claims fanfic is over thousands of years old or whatever. I understand we like to joke but fanfiction is fundamentally tied to fandom culture and is a very specific way of engaging with media. Religious texts based off other religious texts is not fanfiction and it is worrying the only way you can justify your interest is by comparing the two. I promise you you don't have to reinvent the wheel to write fanfic you can just do that but we don't have to say "Shakespeare wrote fanfiction about Richard III", there was not a Richard III fandom in 1592, that was called the divine right of kings.
