You know, I haven't actually been writing or reading Wormfic for some time. Then this was linked to me.
This is some of the most disgusting stuff I've read in a while, and I enjoy reading crazy stuff for fun. This isn't 'mean-spirited bullying'; because within a hundred words Emma goes from a nice girl to a goddamn sociopath.

Emma is a horrible person. She's cruel, she's wicked, and she's a bully. However, she is not a sociopath. And more then that, she's never the instigator of any of the victimization of Taylor! She hangs back because Sophia is the one who takes the lead, that's what we've always seen! Sophia does something, and then Emma follows up to support her new best friend. And this isn't just cruel, this is entering some disturbed level of psychotic depravity that nobody really should enter. Emma is a human being, not the Joker for God's sake. She isn't going to turn someone into her MASCOT, and she isn't going to find joy in the pain of someone else. It takes a very, very, special kind of person to find joy in others' pain, and Emma isn't that kind of person.
Emma likes being in the spotlight, she likes being the center of attention and the one that everyone cares about. But it's only Sophia who cares about stuff like this. She's the one who's about the rules of nature. This isn't just bullying, this is sick. It's disgusting on an entirely new level, because the only two places you ever see that sort of behavior are from people into hardcore BDSM, and I'm talking even more then whips and chains, and actual sociopaths. Emma is neither of those things.
Also, the reason I brought up the comparison to BDSM? You're fetishizing this behavior. You turned something sick and wrong into a cutesy thing, something that is acceptable under certain circumstances, that can be misconstrued as okay. This sort of thing is only okay if it happens under the control of two consenting adults.
