November 7, 2013: A nonny started [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337552431#t337552431|a thread titled]] //"Yarnbombing is offensive and maybe classist,"// based on [[http://nudiemuse.tumblr.com/post/62692825243/bedbugsbiting-sqbr-squiddishly|this Tumblr post]].

The conversation began mildly enough, with comments like //"Seems like reasonable criticism to me, though"// and wondering about who can afford to waste yarn in hard economic times. Soon a new nonny [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337562159#t337562159|stated]], //"It's what I do with the nasty yarn in my stash."// To which another [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337567279#t337567279|replied]], //"You choose to inflict it on the rest of the world?"//

As it turned out, that nonny does take their yarn down after a few days before it begins to rot. However, others continued to wank hard. Subwanks:

  * [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337558063#t337558063|The difference]] between yarnbombing public spaces and yarnbombing people's yards
  * The [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337554479#t337554479|inherent problems]] with knitting sweaters for the poor instead (and with used-clothing donations in general)
  * [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337555759#t337555759|Banksy snark]]
  * //[[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337558575#t337558575|"I've done it a few times… Just cut it down if you hate it so much."]]//
  * [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337596975#t337596975|"I let my dog pee on that crap because that's about all that it's worth."]]
  * [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/70959.html?thread=337639471#t337639471|A graffiti!anon]] claiming, //"Every argument against yarnbombing here I've seen levelled at graffiti over the years. Which is funny in itself, as yarbombing is seen as a twee/bourgeios/~girls' thing by the hardcore graf world, so yay, ~legitimacy at lasssst."//
