Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

46. Really? I like maybe half of those series and think that quite a few of the newer ones have much more interesting plots, better character design, sometimes more realistic personalities, etc etc. But then, the dubbing crack makes me think you're one of those people who believes that anything dubbed/translated into English over here automatically OMGSUCKS, regardless of the level of quality.

Also, your claim is about as ridiculous as saying that any movie made after the 1980's sucks, or that any music after the 50's has been horrible, or that every book written during the 21st century so far has been horrible. Anime is a genre, and not a small one.

48. Th-this is an awesome secret. And I'm really happy for you. But I only have one thing to say, really.

54. Well, you've already been ripped apart in almost every way you could be and I totally agree with everyone. But you've also already said you made this spur of the moment while in a really bad mood, so all I'll say is one point which I haven't seen brought up yet: think of the icon makers who make icons for the purpose of sharing them. They want them to be appreciated, love sharing them- I'd feel horrible if I worked that hard to share something I loved/enjoyed doing and nobody at all touched them. Seriously, it'd be like being an author, writing a novel, getting published, and no one buys your book once it hits the shelves because they write and therefore should be expected to never purchase another writer's work ever.

Also, you know, when I see someone using an icon I always assume they didn't make it until I see otherwise. It's why I'm frustrated by the people that don't credit any of their icons, because I usually refuse to take an icon without credit and I can't be certain that I should be crediting the person using it.

Icon used because one of my good friends made it FOR me, because I love her icons, and I appreciate her efforts and work. =D ILU Bethuwaifu.

57. ... Do want. In both forms. Unfffff.

NOW WHO IS THAT. =O

58. I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY BUT BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW. DDD;

61. ... I can sorta see where you're coming from, especially if we both acknowledge that it's a little silly but. My god, TWO HUNDRED AND TEN FSTS?

63. I see nothing wrong with a girl cuddling with her father. ): That said, I can see both sides of the issue with the top picture. It's not very sexual at all, it's NOT inappropriate, but it is sort of a baby-steps way of making a younger girl seem sexually attractive (since that's what topless shots are FOR, no matter how risque they may not be), and there's a godawful amount of that all over the place anyway. :/

67. Those people are as much fail as the ones who read fics that are clearly, obviously labeled as a certain pairing, read all the way through it, and then review going "EW OMG THIS PAIRING IS SO HORRIBLE." Actually, the cosplay-character-haters may be worse. ಠ_ಠ That's retarded.

72. ... Yeah, I think picking up a religion from a fictional work is just about as retarded as the idiot religious people who bash fictional works for being "THE DEVIL" when they're. Yanno. EQUALLY FICTION ALL AROUND.

Plus, looking at the actual religious messages of Fullmetal Alchemist (which always seemed to me to support science more, thank you), I am afraid of what beliefs you could ever pick up from that. ausfhahfja augh scary godbaby gate thing.

73. Yeah, you've been in fandom too long. Whether you think the Bond movies are good or bad, I'm sorry, but a stereotypical character or relationship doesn't become any better just because you slap a dick on the female one and add in "hot mansex." ... Though that might be a bad way of putting it because I love Bond and the girls. (:

75. I'd like more gen in my fandoms, and more appreciation of the female characters, but you do know that not everyone shares your interests, right? And even if they do, they might feel they're BETTER at writing what they do. You can't exactly tell other people "WRITE WHAT I WANT TO READ, DAMMIT," especially if you're one of the writers that only writes the yaoi and BL- I mean, shouldn't you UNDERSTAND where they're coming from, then?

Your comment made me think of JD Salinger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Salinger#Last_publications_and_Maynard_relationship). The guy writes nowadays just for the hell of it. And I can kind of identify with that: graphic design has been more of a meditative activity for me than anything. That's probably a hella minority attitude. I appreciate that there are people who do want to share them and all, but considering I haven't been in the iconing ring for god knows how long, I didn't think of that at the time.

Ah, yeah, I know a lot of people who make icons just cos they enjoy it, but I also know a lot of those same people share them because they love sharing them... I dunno, I guess I've just seen so many of my friends who make icons who don't... demand that people love their icons, or anything? But anytime they see someone using their icons they're extremely thrilled, feel flattered, etc.

I can get writing just for your own enjoyment, too, and I do agree that's the best reason to do it. But again, I think the people who share their writing, or their icons, or whatever they share, often do it because- they love sharing, and hope someone will enjoy it as much as they do. So... yeah, it differs from person to person, but I hope after this you won't think so badly on us- I love seeing other people using the icons I made, because I enjoyed making them and did it for fun, but it makes me feel fuzzy to see them enjoyed by other people so much as well.
