118: I love Hisoka because he's a completely insane pervert, and even Killua and Gon couldn't recognise him without his "clown gear". Seeing him like that made me wonder if there's a less loony side to him too (also, he was hot).

133: If many people often misinterpret what you're trying to say, you're probably not expressing yourself very well. Remember, on the internet the text is all we have to go on, so you have to be precise.

144: You know, since a lot of us see sex as (among other things) something beautiful, a way to be very close to someone one cares about, and also as a way to express deep love (yeah, I know it sounds extremely soppy, but I want to make things clear, so no understatements this time), seeing all these secrets where people denounce it as something base, cheapening, or polluting is extremely sad. Why all the bashing? Just because it's not your thing doesn't make it bad or wrong, you know.

157: Sorry, but yes, you'd have to share. XD There aren't a lot of us though (and I prefer him with Sanzo anyway)...

171: DO IT. A lot of people love AU, we're just tired of the badly executed ones.

Oh, I'm all for sex, believe me. I'm a non-virgin in a romantic relationship myself, and I enjoy many fictional romantic relationships I've read about or watched. They just don't do the same thing for me as a fan as platonic relationships do. Fictional romance can be sweet and all, just like a fictional parent-child relationship can be adorable, but only platonic pairings make my heart leap with joy at the thought of them being together forever, if you get my drift. And thus, in principle, when I see very good fictional friends (not in a canonical romantic relationship or very blatantly implied to have romantic feelings for one another), I'm perfectly happy with them being "just" friends and can't help being irritated when the fangirls see endless amounts of subtext where, as far as I can tell, there isn't any.

Sexual relationships don't bother me or anything. I just... really have no drive to want to see romance/sex in a relationship that could be entirely platonic. The bit about strangling and pollution was more of a humourous exaggeration to emphasize how stupidly hypocritical it made me feel to realize that I was really just as crazy about my platonic!OTPs as all those slash fangirls I'd been rolling my eyes over were about their OTPs.

Yeah, sorry, I was mostly annoyed about the other secrets showing up here lately, the ones who did say sex was the Great Destroyer of Purity and Truth, heh. Yours seemed to be in the same vein, but I see what you mean now.

Subtext can be... difficult. There are signs that you can train yourself to see (there's a lot of symbolism that's a mystery to me), but people sometimes forget that subtext isn't the same thing as canon.

Also, there are so many people in fandom that every pairing will have its fans. That doesn't mean all yaoi fans ship all pairings. One of us might pair up a couple in a group of friends, while all the other characters remain friends; it's just that different people will pair up different characters in that group, so all possible combinations will exist in fandom. People often forget this.

I never ship for subtexty reasons myself; I tend to simply pair characters up if I like the combination of their personality types and/or dynamics. of course subtext would make me happy, but it's not something I need for my ships.

I'm just marveling at the fact that other Goku-fans exist XD I grew up thinking I was the only one~~ XD
