36. I think all the complaining about translators are a bunch of...well, bull. x.x;; Half the time those complaining don't even KNOW Japanese. How do they know one translation is better than the other?? (I mean, of course, besides obvious alterations like the stupid stuff 4Kids does. that's different.)

51. Well, I guess when one of the things you can do is gossip with the neighbors...

64. WINSPIRATION! I like that word XD

65. I read the manga, I still think he's a psycho. He's attractive, and as good!nonKira!Light I totally fangirl over him...but he's still a psycho.

71. ..Yeah, secretly I'm kina hoping one day I'll see an icon of mine in f!S, too. (...Erm, not-so-secretly now, but I'm too lazy to make a secret for it.)

72. ...Mmmkay, you can feel that way. I've done that sort of RPing, too, but I still like the LJ RPing. Sure, logs take more effort, but hey, comment-logging is still fun.

That's always baffled me too. I honestly think that most of the time, they assume that whatever the fansub/scanslation says is correct, just because it came first and they had time to get used to it before seeing the official translation. It doesn't even seem to occur to some people that the fan translator could have made a mistake, or just had a different take on a given line -- sometimes you can get a number of very different translations out of the same line, none of which are necessarily wrong.

(And yeah, I don't think anyone's going to argue re: 4Kids going too far with the alterations. There's a difference between Woolseyism and Macekre, as tvtropes.org puts it.)

Yeah, I think that's what it is...I can understand it, though. I'm a dub fan (although I watch the subs as well), and often I can find myself quoting the lines from the dub and then being completely baffled when someone mentions the sub lines from the same scene. It's really just whatever you're used to.

(Oh man, I love that site. I'm addicted...it's on a tab in my firefox browser right now.)

Yeah, it is understandable that people will get used to the first interpretation they see -- I do that too. It's just the complaining that all later interpretations are doing it wrong because they're not like the original that gets to me.

(It really is addictive, isn't it? I spend way too much time there.)

Yeah, same here. I really wish fans on the internet would think a little more. They really make the rest of us look bad.

(Totally. Sometimes I get burnt out and think I've freed myself from it's grasp, but then....well, I've spent all day on that darn site.)

Indeed. And of course the ones who don't think are always the most vocal, while the sane and intelligent ones are quieter and therefore get overwhelmed by the others.

(It's kind of cyclical for me, too -- I spend huge chunks of time on it for a few weeks, then I get sick of it and go "ha, at last I am free!" ... and then a couple weeks later I'm back again.

... incidentally and apropos of nothing, would it be weird and stalkery of me to say I always enjoy talking to you? We've had a couple of conversations here, and you tend to have interesting things to say, so. I don't know, as weird as it is to randomly anonymously compliment a near-stranger, I wanted to say that.)

Oh, of course! It seems like that's true for a lot of things in fandom. The stupider the fan is, the louder they are about their opinions.

(No! I don't think it's stalkery at all! I hope that it took me a while to respond didn't come off as a "yes" to that question. XD;; I'm actually sort of flattered! I'm glad people find me interesting to talk to. Although now I'm curious about who you are.)

Well, yeah. I never said he was a saint. Just that people should read the god damned manga before jumping to conclusions.
