(Anonymous) 2014-06-29 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)In the DMC fandom one artist password-locked her blog with the express interest of keeping foreigners out, and the answer was a Japanese history question. Seriously? You don't think any non-Japanese people read Japanese and have studied Japanese history, bitch? ...I happily re-upped everything she posted there on all the Western fan forums I could find ;p
See, before this, at comic markets she'd limit "foreigners" to one copy of her work, because she assumed they were all resellers. (Aw shit, is someone making a profit off of someone else's IP worried about people making a profit off of your art? The gall!) So... me being white, I got one copy and couldn't get the one I wanted for my friend. But my Chinese-American buddy (AND ACTUAL RESELLER) got ten copies. To resell. Because ALL LOOK SAME, I guess.
Like, seriously, you have no idea how much racist shit non-Japanese fans already have to deal with in Japanese fandoms in Japan. And we're not all visibly "foreign" and many of us speak passably native Japanese. I've discussed this with many other angry foreign fans in Japan and what you suggest would be the first shots fired in a war that would lead to every fan item they ever made freely available on the internet the day they released it.
