Just a little bit of extra scrolling to do, if you're not interested. (:

livelongnmarry [LJ] - panfandom auctions! Tons of stuff to bid on, and for a good cause.
Juxtapose Fantasy [website] - Yaoi/slash fans - have you visited JuxtaposeFantasy yet?

151.) Anonymous is mass chaos.

There are the Scientology protesting Anons; many of them have never gone to 4chan or ebaum, shock. Many people fail to realize this.

150. Cute. Troll harder next time.

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

104. Holy CRAP that resemblence is freaky. o_o

117. Y-you are not alone, OP. D: Holy crap that statue salkhakfja.

118. Don't worry about being a media conniseur. Something can be not nearly as good as the original, and still be fun. I loved The Avengers movie with Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery. Yes, it was Hollywood BS. Yes, they changed the entire feel of the Avengers to suit what was more of a "James Bond" storyline instead of a quirky old-fashioned spy plot. Yes, Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg are far, far superior to Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes. All of this is true, but I still really like that movie.

If you liked the Get Smart movie, and you wish you'd seen the episodes, why not look them up now? That way, you'll retain a soft spot for the movie you liked so much it got you into the series, and if you really do end up thinking the series is better, you'll have a new love in that, too? (:

126. Why?

130. Yes, but what about those of us who like imperfect relationships between fucked up characters? In addition, that pairing/picture is cute as fuck, hee. XD

146. KJSAHFKJASHJFFFFFFFF HAHAHAHA the briefcase of an angry Natsumi IS THE BEST WAY TO HIT THAT GD TSUNDERE FROG ♥ Also I am retardedly squealy and happy whenever I see a Keroro secret. XD; GO ME BEIN' A GEEKFACE.

150. Nah, not gonna wank you. It's probably not worth it for either a troll or someone who has so much of a negative idea of what they're talking about that even a reasonable argument is unlikely to pierce their skull. PLUS I BET PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DONE IT BETTER, LOL~

151. They focus on causing drama elsewhere instead of trying to control their own.

And this is why I can't respect the people who do that. If they REALLY can think of other people as other human beings, and if they REALLY have no insecurities, they'd have no reason to purposefully try to make other people unhappy. Either that or they're assholes. That's an option too.

I don't look down on people who visit the image board, though, because wtf it's an image board. It has images. We should be judging people on that?

not!secret: Well, yeah. Mostly because I find soaps and series entirely about who's getting in who's pants/who is rly related to who/who's getting married/who betrayed who/ETCETERA FOREVER to be boring as all hell. Just a personal thing, here.

take!to!comments #1: Despite the placement of this secret, I agree fully with the sentiment. Hotcha. (:

take!to!comments #3: Yaoi is an umbrella term in the West for male/male manga or Japan-inspired comics.

The two participants in a yaoi relationship are often referred to as seme ("attacker",攻め or せめ) and uke ("receiver",受け)... Though these stereotypes are common, not all works adhere to them.

The doujinshi subculture has been considered the Japanese equivalent of the English-language slash fandom.

Slash fiction is a genre of fan fiction, largely written by women, that focuses on the depiction of romantic (and often sexual) relationships between two or more male characters, who may not be engaged in relationships in the canon universe. While the term originally was restricted to stories in which one or more male media characters were involved in an explicit adult relationship as a primary plot element, it is currently more generally used to refer to any fan story containing a pairing between male characters.

To sum up: Yaoi is male/male manga, seme/uke is NOT a requisite to yaoi, and slash fiction is ANY FAN WORK OF FICTION WITH GAY MEN. Yaoi =/= rapist seme and weeping stereotypical so-girly-it's-an-insult-to-call-him-girly uke, and slash =/= "realism." Why don't you please do five seconds of research, plzkthx?

Besides. From what I've seen? People don't really have a problem with other fans having preferences when it comes to "seme/uke" dynamics. What we have a problem with is the idiots who pick one character as "obviously seme" and another as "obviously uke" and think that switching it around is OOC because "so-and-so is prettier and shorter!!!" and thusly would never, ever, ever be able to top ever without it being a butchering of his character. Which is pure retardation, tropes taken into account and all. Thank you and goodnight.

Weird. Cause that seems to define most Fan-Fiction.

[mk-tortie.livejournal.com]

109: THIS. I love fernwithy's fics so, so much! They made me cheer when Remus/Tonks became canon :)

124: lol, I don't think you're alone there!

[yuumeko.livejournal.com]

105. oracle's queen ftw!

118. nice to see one of those folks who like to nitpick original to remake taste the other side.

145. XD haha that's not your fault. also, claymore ftw

159. Oh totally, the first time I saw that pic, I realized that this is what I do like every night...

[mellow-dk.livejournal.com]

It still takes me a second, after all these years, to remember that fandom has changed the meaning of shipping from what it meant to the X-philes.

Re: #160

[flwrpwr-vampyre.livejournal.com]

I'm curious now, since I've seen that secret like 3 times. What did it originally mean?

[fallenangels607.livejournal.com]

136. Oh, ech.

[corydrane.livejournal.com]

131: *___* Is this picture without text on it somewhere??? DO WANT.

150: *sits back and watches* lol

119, 125

[overstreets.livejournal.com]

119: I MISS JOHN SO MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH.

125: Omg HELLO BEYBLADE SECRET. Kai/Wyatt is AWESOME.

[(Anonymous)]

Dick Cheney did it.

[foxestacado.livejournal.com]

HELL YES.

[flowerofsin.livejournal.com]

114. One of the best pairings. SERIOUSLY.
145. It used to be one of my faves before it started taking the turn it has recently.
160. Yay?

[childings.livejournal.com]

107 Sort of want...
108 Well, that may be true, but at least he writes realistic male characters (most movies fuck that up as well, you know).
126 I'm not gay but I totally support the Sheryl x Ranka shippers
133 Wow, that's a secret? I mean, I just naturally assumed everyone would fuck Brock.
138 I don't really think he treats her like a sibling, and he sure as hell doesn't like Sheryl any more than he does Ranka. (Does Alto really like anyone? He's tsundere for everybody.) Also LOL at Ranka talking about herself. Yeah, Sheryl NEVER talks about herself. Everything Sheryl does is conciously for her own benefit. Even though Ranka is self-centered, she's self-centered in a childish and naive way.
TL;DR Ranka is an improved (and more likeable) version of Lynn Minmei
150 I know people who don't have sex. I mean, not everyone is as sexual as you are. (PRESUMABLY IN AFTER MORRISSEY COMMENT)
160 I hated people who shipped Mulder and Scully back in 1996 and I still do over ten years later. I LOVED THEIR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE I HAD ONE OF THOSE WITH A MALE FRIEND AT THE TIME.

[(Anonymous)]

So what about all those "asexuals" who love pr0n, fawn over hot guys (rarely girls), experience arousal and like getting off? Because that's what the overwhelming majority of "fandom asexuals" seem to be like. I'm not saying there's no one who never experiences arousal but for most people it seems to be an excuse for not getting laid and/or not being in a relationship. (Apparently people are self-conscious about such things.)

151

[(Anonymous)]

151 haaaaaahahahah looking to justify why you're a douchbag when you post anonymously?

Re: 151

[relmneiko.livejournal.com]

I see that you don't feel the need to justify why you're a douchebag when you post anonymously. ♥

156

[ms-webster.livejournal.com]

I was hoping so hard that they would actually kiss :D I mean they're both European right?

[akai_senshi.livejournal.com]

102. George Carlin was one of the best, most truthful comics ever. I can feel your pain.
103. I remember those too. Ah, the days when yaoi fen were nowhere near as rabid as they are now…
130. I know where you’re coming from, even though I have a different ship.
133. Mmmm, Brock Sampson.
144. Me too.

150

[(Anonymous)]

Troll, what else is new?

You really think so? What a coincidence! Whenever I see someone in fandom comment on their sex life, I think they're either lying for the attention, or have serious self-esteem issues that lead them to that insatiable need to scream to the world that they are indeed getting laid.

Re: 150

[(Anonymous)]

You win.

127, 147, 150

[savagemandolin.livejournal.com]

127. But they're in an unrealistic, impossible situation. If they could do it, they probably would.

147. I dislike his appetite for sentimentality and triumphalism, and the way his protagonists are allowed to get away with murder simply because they are the 'heroes'. It just smacks of Gary Stuism to me, but it's simply a matter of taste.

150. Yes, I'm sure you know all and see all.

127 OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a straight girl looking for a sexless relationship. I know Ned and Chuck are in a ridiculous situation, but I am inspired by them to keep looking for a guy who is willing to go along with my request.

158

[scarletumbrella.livejournal.com]

158 - YAY for Morgan ♥! :D He IS so win.

108 118 121

[ricestorm.livejournal.com]

108. That's pretty accurate. Why hasn't Apatow invited Jane Lynch to be in more movies?

118. Just because something is a remake doesn't mean you *need* to look at the previous work and critique after watching. I <3-ed Get Smart as a child, and admittedly while I have some reservations because it *is* a remake, I'm also watching because I'm look forward to the casting, and the fact that I just lurve spy spoofs in general. Even though probability usually works against remakes, there are always exceptions that stand on their own (BSG, The Office, Ocean's Eleven).

121. I just started watching this too! I agree, the themes are brilliant and inspiring. Good for you.

150

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, thank you.

Really, it's just another term for being "Not with someone currently/haven't been with anyone/too much of a loser so spends time online in fandom"

Re: 150

[(Anonymous)]

FAIL.

[radiopowered.livejournal.com]

150. Yeaaaah. Because mentioning the fact that I lack a sexual attraction to men or women, thus complicating any relationship I attempt to develop with another person by a HUGE degree makes me feel so good about myself.

151. This makes me feel all warm and tingy inside. ♥

[arwydd.livejournal.com]

111 - Um, what? Because they're both black?? Er...

117 - Fuck. DON'T BLINK!!

143 - Oh my god, YES. DDD: Gohan is not allowed to age beyond the end of DBZ, in my mind. And certainly not get old and die!! ;_;

151 - I love you for this, I do.

[ryuutchi.livejournal.com]

111. I'm not the OP, but I assume it's because she likes both characters. Kingsley is a pretty awesome adult character, and Dean is an awesome kid character whose parents are never mentioned. Lots of people have similar crack theories about parent-child relations.

[(Anonymous)]

106. Oh god, how bad is it?

116. There wasn't a Tsukihime anime.

142. Forget the secret, BOOBS!!!

160. Again, I enjoy these characters in a romantic relationship.

116

[(Anonymous)]

There was. OAV/OVA/whatever you want to call it. Tsukihime, Lunar Legend (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2938).

I've seen it. I liked the game more.

[keruchu.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to crush your dreams like this, but even in the Japanese version.... he's a student. ;//;
