sasha_featherHoly shit!
Today there was an "April Fool's" post at Locus that was supposedly making fun of WisCon. You can read about it various places. Trigger warning for Islamophobia and general awfulness.
emceeaich: Not Funny, Locus (includes screencap)
Locus Apologies and Takes it down: An apology
The author of the post shows no remorse at all, however, and gripes on his own personal blog about free speech: WisCon's Fail Feminist Fandom Brigrade Gets My Locus Post taken Down (includes transcript)
Also lots of discussion on Twitter.
In case you're wondering who "Belle Gunness" is, she was a serial killer.
Trigger warning for, serial killing? Wiki article about Belle Gunness. Thanks tokalmn for figuring that one out.

Hilarious joke when thinking people of different genders and races should be equal is the same as killing white men!
As is customary now on the internet, I will end this comment with:
FREE SPEECH!1!1!!11!
