107. WORD. Fans have a jillion "excuses" for their assholery, and memes and catchphrases are prominent amongst them - kind of our equivalent of the slogan or soundbite. Words we use so we don't have to think.
132. UNGH TESTOSTERONE EXPLOSION
n!s1. Yeah, but Ozzy as Ryuk will be brilliant.

Edited 2008-07-16 00:40 (UTC)

Oh. This again.

What the hell? Is that James?

105. We're not bashing you as a person just because we think Disney sequels are awful. I don't care who likes them, you can like them all you want and I won't say anything about you, but I'm not going to refrain from criticizing something just because somebody might like it. And Disney has a reputation for quality that is not improved by churning out cheapquels that throw characterization out the window. And their features still get reviewed on their own merits even if they are 'for kids,' so why should their sequels be any different? I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt by people critiquing a movie, but please understand that we don't mean anything personal.

167. Dammit, I always confuse Beckett and Norrington. Stupid wigs. Which one's that again?

Edited 2008-07-16 00:54 (UTC)

That's Becky (Beckett). He's sexy, like Norrington, but much more tiny and way more ebil. :D

Re: 167

This is why Gene Kelly is considered such a great dancer...he makes you FEEL what he's saying in steps. No reason to be ashamed.

142. Horray I ship Sirius/Remus and Spuffy as well. *hi-fives dorkily*

149. LOL THE DUB? ... Great Saiyaman's voice cracked like a chipmunk.

163. I love British Pop! ;D

116. I think I need to make pieces of flair from LJ icons now. :| That's kind of the POINT of pieces of flair, and that's why LJers are so obsessed with making icons and collecting them and acting like cropping a pic and adding text makes it "theirs." THEY'RE PIECES OF FLAIR. BLING. EXTRAS TO MAKE YOU LOOK PRETTY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN REAL LIFE.

130. I LOLed. ^_^; Though I have to say (in before ZOMG SOCKPUPPET) that I don't think Michela is creepy. (At least if we're talking the Michela of FanHistory (http://www.fanhistory.com), which I'm pretty sure is the case.) And said person can't edit their FanHistory page because of vandalism instead of learning the proper method of having pages edited. So yeah - it's nice to see that others agree that said person earned the dislike on their own. ^_^v

140. LOL! Rabid DBZ fan who thinks that pic is hot chiming in - glad you at least explained WHY you don't like the art style. XD So many haters just say, "DUR HATE TEH ARTZZ" and leave it at that. XP

158. YEY FELLOW WARCRAFT FAN! <3 I have yet to play WoW (I can't afford subscription-based games) but I loved Warcraft I-III, and I kept up with reading about the new events in WoW and the backstory just because I love it so much. <3

165. LOL! I would have never thought of that on my own.

...

Now I can't unsee it. :(

167. Most of the fandom bets so too. You should see the Becky fic out there. :D~

101. Me too :(

167: me too. i totally ship beckington, too. (beckett/norrington) oh, the wigs.

142:

It's okay, I did my first shipping at age 4, although unknowingly.

Piglet/Pooh. Seriously, it never for a moment crossed my mind that they were not boyfriend. It just made so much sense, and the way Piglet sometimes reacted when he felt Pooh wasn't paying him enough attention seemed like a neglected spouse to me.

I also thought that Rabbit and Gopher used to be married (I thought Rabbit was a girl for some reason) and that Tigger had a thing for Rabbit.

LOL I thought Rabbit was a girl for a long time, too. XD I can't for the life of me remember why, because I don't see it these days. XD

107. Yes, those terms can be overused and often are. But when someone is acting stupid I'm not going to feel bad for using them. I see no reason to hide my feelings so that some annoying person who's acting like a fool feels a little better about themselves.

I'm not pretending the internet is going to be a happy place of magical pink unicorns and candy drops. I just think that it's possible to actually resolve conflicts without resorting to petty one-line insults that don't do anything but fan the flames. People are going to be stupid, but signing them off as a "fantard" isn't actually going to do anything except piss people off. What's the point in that?

120. I found her pretty underwhelming myself. I didn't fully dislike her, however, until they up and made her the secondary main character out of the blue, and dedicated virtually the entire ending to her. At the expense of the other characters I cared about more, was more interested in, etc. etc.

Even at the expense of the main character himself, which is inexcusable, really. She was badly written and uninteresting and I paid no attention to her during the story - since in these games the protagonist is you, why couldn't I have given my power to Yukari or Mitsuru or one of the other girls my protagonist actually would have given it to?

Blagh. She made the ending the worst part of the game.

115) You're not alone. Just the song brings a smile to my face.

141) GORDON'S ALIIIVE!!!

--j

106. ... This is relevant to my interests and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. O HAY SUP ROMEO ♥ I think Lambo would be really unhappy in that scenario, though, myself. ): STILL.

107. I don't know. If someone is being a brat IRL, I have no problem describing them as a brat. There are such things as fanbrats and fantards, though I think those terms can be overused. I've never seen crazycakes anywhere but I would probably use it to affectionately describe a character I love. XD Not a person. I agree that weeaboo is REALLY ABUSED LIKE WHOA AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS, but I really do think that when people say DIAF they don't actually want anything bad to happen to the other person (or maybe that's just me, with my hope for humanity).

I do agree that people don't have a right to be an asshole just because ~it's the Interwebs~, but I also think calling someone an asshole when they're being an asshole is no different or better than calling someone a fanbrat when they really are being a fanbrat. It's the trolls that I have a problem with, and the people who really think it's just the Internet, so they shouldn't have to care about other people's feelings.

111. Uh, there's... nothing wrong with you? A lot of people take this like it's a SURPRISING NEWSFLASH, but there is nothing wrong with loving a character who you would never like, or even hate, IRL- even to love them for the reasons you wouldn't like them IRL. An awesome character is an awesome character even if they'd be a horrible person.

115. That movie ♥

THAT IS ALL.

123. Uh... huh. So your secret is... you're a retard? (Hey, 107! Look, here's an instance of me calling someone bad names on the Internet when they seem to be deserving of it! :/) OH NOES, PEOPLE ACTUALLY ARE INTERESTED IN A SERIES IN JAPAN AND KEEP UP WITH IT! WAHHHHHHH.

132. Brains do these things. ): EMBRACE IT.

133. HOLY SHIT DIGIMON AND MONSTER RANCHER BAD GUYS TURNED GOOD GUYS SECRET. Ilu OP, ilu a lot ♥ (Though I can place the especial inexplicable crush onto Pixie, up there. >D)

135. Digimon world comes right after Pokemon world in my list of "IT WOULD BE FUCKING AWESOME IF THIS EXISTED, UNIVERSE, C'MON?" Would like, not gonna happen. Buu. :<

137. While I can understand your frustration, you're doing it wrong. Sure, maybe they're overlooking canon het pairings so they can enjoy their canon yaoi ones. But so what? They're not hurting anyone. They are having fun and doing what they enjoy. That's what we're all in fandom to do. If you don't want it, skip past it. It shouldn't be that big a deal- let them enjoy themselves, and find the het portions of fandom and enjoy yourself! There's no such thing as "crossing a line" when you are enjoying yourself with a fictional series, and you don't have a right to tell other people to do something other than what they enjoy doing just because you think they should.

140. Meh, no big deal. I won't ever read/watch it, probably, simply because the storyline doesn't really interest me enough for me to stick with it, and I really dislike the art. One or the other wouldn't make or break it for me, but both together and I don't see a reason to bother.

148. Good god people please stop saying that a romantic or sexual relationship or it being "teh gay" RUINS A FRIENDSHIP. aslkhfkjagkaksjg seriously why. Go ahead and ship it, they're awesome either way.

163. It's really, really not. XD It's okay, I used to take character image songs (sung by the seiyuu!) from anime and try to put together a cohesive musical episode in my head. WE CAN BE VERY STRANGE TOGETHER.

165. That's because "taking a ride in a Subaru" jokes are funny in that context! Whereas if you said "I'm taking a ride in a HONDA," you would make Tohru hurt inside. ):

172. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BuT WHAT IF IT IS AWWWWWWWWRIGHT

cow goes "baaw"

not!secret #1: ... WHAT. EXPLAIN- WHAT.

not!fandom #2: I think it looks like a mouse. :>

not!fandom #3: It's the Internet. Not knowing somebody's gender for a looooong time isn't a big deal. ♥

It seems there's going to be an English version of the Death Note movie ... ? o.O

135. KEEP THE FAITH. That’s why I keep a computer near me at all times. ;)

126. I LOVE YOU, PLS MARRY ME AND WE CAN MAKE AWESOME YURIBABIES

137. *high fiiiiive*

162. ME TOO, AND I'M NOT EVEN A PARENT. SDGKLJSGLASJDGLASJKGLSADJGLK I fucking love Roseanne so much ;___;

Wait. People have called you homophobic... for preferring gay female relationships to gay male relationships?

Nooooo, fandom isn't misogynist at all. 9_9

Yuri rocks! And the girls in your background are cute. Who are they?

They're from Strawberry Panic! (exclamation point included. ^^)

115. This is one of my favorites secrets in a long while. That's not embarrassing, that's beautiful. :)

117. Send him my way; if he proves to be insufferable, I'll steal his VHS and we can watch them together.

149. I love that laugh. I can listen/have listened to it over and over, and it's one of my favorite parts of the dub.

107. I agree completely. I'm sick of all of the fandom hate. My stance is, if you don't like something, then just stay away from it. Also, is it just me, or haven't we all (people in fandom in general) been made fun of by "normal" people? Why fight within our own community?

137. Aaaaaaand this is what bothers me about non-slash/yaoi/bl/whateverthefuck people. Apparently, if you like slash, then you can't like anything else. I'll admit that there are "pairings" that I ship for fun (like, most of the Bleach pairings I ship) but most of the time, the reason I ship them isn't because it's "hot" or "OMG BOIS KISSING EACH OTHER!!!11!", it's because of their dynamics. That goes for het pairings too. Possibly double for het pairings, because it's so hard to find well written het.

Throwing two guys together just because they're two guys is just as stupid as putting a couple together just because they're male and female and "that's the way it's supposed to be."

105. LOL you can still make a kids movie thats NOT awful. =p

107. lol i'm sure people use those words knowing they're going to be assholes.

take it to comments 2 - XD

Yes. Maybe I should have done a generic "it's not okay to be an asshole online just because it's online" secret, but the it wouldn't be F!S, would it?

(deleted comment)

HAHAHA my point exactly ): they just look so wrong.

101. I wish I had some Fandom Friends too. :( I wish you luck!

110. OMG. I can totally see that. :O

(deleted comment)

IT'S NOT CANON, SADLY. "Sadly" because Reborn is still a perma-baby... though we have seen a lot of the Arcos as adults now! Sort of.

VIPER LOOKS, AS EXPECTED, LIKE AN ORGY XIII COSPLAYER. =P

You should totally pick it back up; when did you stop reading? =D

103. *sigh* I know what you mean. I also know I'm not the only one.

104. I love looking for flaws of logic in anything, fic included. Don't know why.

108. I really have no comment, except that your use of "fuckin'" instead of "fucking" just made me smile for no good reason. Weirdness/love of slang, unite.

114. MAH BOIIIIIII

116. Same, but with Bumper Sticker. Half the time, I want to shout, THAT'S A FUCKING ICON, NOT A BUMPER STICKER.

Then I go and upload icons I got from LJ onto Bumper Sticker for my own use. Hypocrisy, I has it in droves.

134. You should at least try reading My Immortal. With over 11k reviews, you know it's got to be good. Link here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2828044/1/ (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2828044/1/)

137. I don't think you'd be burned at the stake. I agree. It's nice to ship good pairings, regardless of gender.

142. Well. I ship Sirius/Remus and Buffy/Spike, and the last one looks like something out of Tintin. I don't know, I'm sorry. Now don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

144. Ba dum pshh.

162. YAY ROSEANNE!

166. Kingdom Hearts has its own Mr. Hands now, doesn't it.

Okay. . . I'll give it a try.
