[falconwhitaker.livejournal.com]

146. I am one of the Heath!Joker fangirls who find him attractive. *waves* Hello. I find him attractive because of his intelligence - I mean, seriously, the man is insanely clever. However, I also find him terrifying. So I guess what I'm saying is that not everybody who finds Heath!Joker attractive wants to jump him. If he were to exist IRL, I'd run a mile >.>;;

Um... pointless rambling ftw? XD

Re: 146

[ibroketuesday.livejournal.com]

Seconded. I find him attractive for various reasons, most of which have to do with his nature as opposed to his looks, and that doesn't mean I'm an idiot; the guy is a scary mofo, and my reaction to encountering him IRL would not be "Tap that", it would be "HIDE".

[allodole.livejournal.com]

115. I blame the late night and my recent state of mind, but that picture made me bawl. Hating someone because "he ruined a character he played" is a stupid, stupid, stupid reason.
125. .... Now that you say it..
138. YES.

Glad to know I'm not alone

[vangirl]

Same here. Also glad to see a comment about it from someone who's willing to be logged in for it.

[regeneration.livejournal.com]

103. Or not.

and we have different opinions about fandoms

That's my problem, right there! In magical RL, where it's all touchy-feely and wonderful? Nobody I know wants to talk about fandom. They want to talk about work, or their sister's boyfriend's cousin who's just split up with their boyfriend, or bloody Big Brother, or etc etc etc.

I have roughly two friends in RL, one of which is thankfully my best friend in the world, but no, I don't really get to see her that often, and I talk to her more online. The other one is...a fanbrat, for lack of a better term, and I see her even less. That's all I have in RL. Online, however, I have all kinds of friends, in all kinds of fandoms, and yes, I manage to have conversations with them outside of fandom too. I really, really wouldn't want to swap them for any of the dullards where I live, thanks.

157

[eyeholes.livejournal.com]

I own one too. I rarely have to speak in front of a crowd, but sometimes I wear on the chair around my neck, and when I do, I put it on sometimes and just pretend no one can see me.

..and since no one really pays attention, it almost seems like maybe I am invisible :o

Just think of it as a superpower! You can generate your own SEP field!

That's what I do.

Wanting sex isn't rape! Wanting sex isn't rape!

Second time in a row jeez.

Re: 161

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

I think they meant more like they have rape fantasies about him.

136

[7thisgod.livejournal.com]

Me too, OP. Me too. :O

And that girl fanartist with the http://3sgm.pya.jp/884/ website is awesome. Very, very awesome.

126

[caveat-lect0r.livejournal.com]

126. Wow, misogynist and narrow-minded much? Maybe if you branched out from shitty and inferiour books that just happen to be written by female authors, you'd realize that there are many, many great women writers out there, like A.S. Byatt, Dorothy Dunnett, Carson McCullers, Margaret Atwood, Flannery O'Connor, and I could go on and on.

I truly hope you're very young.

Re: 126

[vivalanaomi.livejournal.com]

The OP doesn't deserve Harper Lee.

[abandonreality.livejournal.com]

115: There are people who SAY THAT?! How callous and stone-hearted do you have to be to say that kind of stuff?

146: Yes, this. If Joker was real, he'd slit their throats without a second thought. Crazy fangurlz are crazy.

148: OH GOD, BRISCO COUNTY JR.! I LOVE YOU! I felt like the only one who'd even SEEN it let alone loved it. (Also, Xena is always win)

163: Oh honey I would too, and he's NOT old enough to be my dad. <3

169: W. T. F.?! *throws her own lamp*

[(Anonymous)]

101. It isn't "blaming" the actors to say they were not adequate for the roles. Guess what, I don't like Crawford or Brightman AT ALL, and I can still see and more importantly hear that Gerry and Emmy were badly cast.

103. I haven't met anyone in RL who is at all interested in fandom. I live in a small rural community where there isn't the widest choice of people to get to know, of course I prefer my online friends. I can be myself with them.

[kryss-labryn.livejournal.com]

101. I agree wholeheartedly. I like MC, but I think John Owen Jones owns him, from what I can tell from YouTube. Brightman-- I like her albums, but the way she holds her hands when she sings just annoys the heck out of me. XD Sad, innit? ;-)

103. You, too? Wouldn't it be hilarious if we were actually neighbours? Sometimes I'm tempted to start a group up at my local library or something, but (1) I really don't have the time and (2) I'm "too old" to be messing around in fandom the way I do, and it would just be too embarrassing to try to explain to my husband why I wanted to go and meet up with a bunch of highschoolers to squee lol. Plus, I'd probably creep the highschoolers out. XD

[(Anonymous)]

103. Meatspace friends can be fairweather as easily as cyberspace ones; I suspect most folks who say they like their particular Internet friends better are in this situation. Meatspace is a better medium for bonding a lot of the time, however.

126. ...uh...

138. And what creates fantasy? Reality! Or, well, people living in reality. It's often a mirror, our fiction.

Still, I usually approach it thusly: an overdose of boring women in any given work reflects more poorly on the writer or writers than on fans. Fans can't help it if the canon is deficient in some way or another.

152. You forgot us poor unfortunate souls who've never owned any Sony consoles. Really, I'd love to play the whole Metal Gear Solid series after the good things I've heard, but as it is I'll have to settle for the GameCube remake of the first. Unless a certain obscure series comes back to life as rumoured, I ain't buying no PS3.

162. Here's what I don't get: they're clearly both sapient, so... what's the big deal? Ship on, sister.

[jaclynhyde.livejournal.com]

152. PS2s are cheap now! And it has a fantastic library of games (including a set of the first three MGS games for $30).

And what certain obscure series? Because I really need more reasons besides MGS4 to crave a PS3...

103 104 112 124 126 128 135 138 149 159 169 174 185

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Jeez, what's with the anti-feminist secrets today?

103 You realize that a lot of people don't have RL friends who are in fandoms at all, or even know what fandom really is, or being fannish is, and don't write fanfic or follow anime or pay attention to the canon of television shows, and can't share any of this with their RL friends? Until I met local people through fandom, I didn't have RL friends online/in fandom either. You're really lucky that your RL friends aren't laughing at you for caring to much about "some book" or "some cartoon" or "some movie." Many aren't. (Not that my other RL friends ever laughed at me; they're just not into it, but I know the RL friends of other people have.)

104 It's one of the great mysteries of the universe.

112 ♥ Aang was awesome, and totally in his own way.

124 It's one of those things where since almost everyone ships it, no one mentions it and there's no fic. Which is a little counterintuitive and sucks, but it happens a lot.

126 Um, there are books written by women with male narrators, first of all, and second, I think you're just psyching yourself out. Seriously, whatever.

128 MTV Animation SUCKS about that. Where are those, and where are the Sifl & Olly DVDs? What's wrong with you people?

135 You imply that it's normal to tell people about your sex dreams. I don't tell people about my sex dreams. Jesus, don't you people have any boundaries?

138 If it's some female characters in some places, whatever. If it's every single female character in a canon (even when there's a huge variety) or every single female character in every canon, ever, then there's a problem. And I've heard people say that on the one side the characters are too weak and lame, and on the other side that they're mary sues, and I'm like, what is with you people, that you think women's lives are unworthy of fiction?

149 Staying sane in fandom rule #5: You can't control what other people do. Let it go.

159 ♥ I love them!

169 Seriously? That is so horrible I have to laugh. I don't blame you for breaking the lamp.

174 They sound that way to you because that's what you expect them to sound like. I'm really tired of this—all feminism is, is saying that women should be treated like people. That's pretty much it. We haven't found a way to talk about the sort of "male power structure" in a way that doesn't sound, well, sort of silly, but that doesn't mean they don't have a point. Try just listening to their actual point for once.

185 Just because you're in the minority doesn't mean you're wrong. But maybe you should concentrate less on bitching out those other people and more on creating the things you like, and an environment for other people to do the same. Make your part of fandom a fun place to be and maybe you'll be able to attract a few more people to it. Work harder to find the few people who also like what you like. Create some communities. It's more work, but huddling down with the few people who think the same sort of thing is awesome is really really fun; it's one of the most fun things about small ships or small fandoms.

That said, if what you like isn't what appeals to the average 16-year-old fangirl, you're never going to have the numbers with you. That's just how it goes; they're the ones who make things really popular. But if you don't like what they like, then you're not going to want to entice them into your end of fandom anyway. Trust me.

[evil-laugher.livejournal.com]

Jeez, what's with the anti-feminist secrets today?

I was about to say something on that, ha ha. Maybe it's a large-scale troll attempt!

104, 105

[frankincensy.livejournal.com]

104 - Stephen Fry for the win.
105 - this secret made me happy. LOL, just noticed the teletubby.

[crazycarrie2006.livejournal.com]

A-freaking-MEN!

But of course saying that in the POTO community would get you instant criticism that you aren't intellectual enough to understand the "subtleties" of the fine arts...

I loved the movie and ICAM with this secret!

102. Sad secret is sad.

115. I've always felt that way about Kurt Cobain's daughter.

117. I know the feeling. Does she have an email addy you can ping? Would that make you feel weird and stalkerish?

128. Signed. That was the very last time I got shafted by MTV.

154. You are definitely not alone - I also would like to see Tonberry culture explored, or to have a playable Tonberry in an FF. Hopeless much?

160. What is this please?

169. Is this going to be catastrophic on the order of the Watchman? I don't know how much of this I can take.

185. You want an internet that never ever challenges your point of view? Eh?

[llivla.livejournal.com]

101 I agree that ALW went random and sexed it up so much with the plunging necklines (esp when Christine was walking to father's grave; wtf?) and, like, spray-tanned Gerard and made it seem like his face was just sunburned, was neither of the actors' fault.

Gah, my brain's still half-asleep, but w/e.

115 I.. I... I LOVE YOU FOR THIS.

123 Now I can't stop looking at it.

126 Oh oh oh! I -really- suggest you try picking up Alice Hoffman, like, the Ice Queen.

134 She was like, a representation of what I think everyone feels at one point in their life.

146 This. Seriously, not just in the comics, I remember the cartoon scared the crap out of me. It's a mix of the Joker and other factors I'm scared of clowns. :(

151. No, it's because she's LARA CROFT :D. I get it, I think everyone does if they're male, female, gay or straight.

154. While I like your secret, ...did..... ......
Wh--
Yuffie is certainly getting Chef Knifed in an interesting way.

181 I don't ship it because I don't like it (Pence/Olette/Roxas/Hayner forever ftw), but I think almost any ship in the KH-verse could make sense, if only because Nomura is so RANDOM.

136, 145

[csakuras.livejournal.com]

136. YOU MUST SHARE! D:< Or just tell me where to find it please please please.

145. O-oh wow, another fanfic secret. Um. I don't do porn, sorry. ._. If you had any idea how embarrassed I was just writing that scene... I even tried to avoid going into details in that kink meme.


...Going by trends, I kinda wonder if there's going to be a backlash against Simon/Nia fans someday.

Re: 136

[7thisgod.livejournal.com]

This girl draws lovely fanart: http://3sgm.pya.jp/884/

And the OP states she(?) refers to Pixiv, the Japanese DeviantArt. See here: pixiv.net

[georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com]

112. Preach it. Aang became a BAMF of the highest degree to me, in that scene. Stuck to his beliefs all the way to the end. Awesome does not even begin to describe it.

124. Huh. Maybe Harold and Kumar aren't really the LJ-peeps primary choice of movies to see. Dumb yet secretly hilarious films about stoners aren't exactly big with most fans in LJ-circles I've seen.

129. Ahahahaaaa it's a Megaman game for a prominently male fandom, nooot gonna happen. Sorry. These are things you need to remind yourself of. Us Megaman-fans must stick together, and I can't have you living in a lie, no matter how sweet it may seem.

136. The japanese... loving the het more than the yaoi? Inconceivable! Jests aside, it IS a hotblooded mechashow that probably has mostly male fans and therefore have a larger percentage of people shipping the het instead of the gay. So statistically speaking it shouldn't be that surprising?

145. Haha man, penis euphemisms. Always funny.

154. I think they just have doink-offs, and the last man standing claims the title of King. It is how those hardcore little fuckers run things, yo.

157. ... That is the sweetest secret I've seen in a long time. You are awesome for brightening my night with it, and your buddy is awesome for coming up with the idea in the first place.

n!s about Jensen, I must admit: I laughed. I don't follow the debacle, but I still think they were funny. Carry on.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, half of Gurren-Lagann's fanbase is composed of females. Probably even more. Gainax themselves were surprised at this since their own GL-themed events are really crowded with young woman at times they even make most of the attendants, as was the case on the official release of the Nia Artbook.

126, 154, 161, 181

[(Anonymous)]

126. Find better female authors. Also, stop being a self-hating misogynist.

154. OH GOD THAT PICTURE D:

161: Protip: it's not rape if you want it.

also, I love how you have people asking if it's Jafar or Iago, lulz. Oh internet, never change.

181. I just want to be able to find some fucking genfic for these two instead of all the stupid sappy pairing shit all over the place. Is that too much to ask?

[fan-of-miggie.livejournal.com]

115. Oh, wow..."ruin the Joker"? Are you kidding me? What are those people thinking? Well, whatever...we all know they're in the minority. And I agree with your secret one hundred percent.

It's possible to think Gerard and Emmy weren't that good in those roles (sorry but Butler CAN'T SING and singing is kind of IMPORTANT TO THE CHARACTER), and blame ALW and Joel Schumacher for it. Most phans DO blame ALW and Joel Schumacher for it, as well as the icky pink mess they made of the rest of the movie. Gerard and Emmy weren't the worst things about the movie, they were just the icing on the vomit-inducing cake.

Re: 101

[cdaae.livejournal.com]

IAWTC too. Particularly the bit about the cake.

I criticize the actors. I blame Schumacher and ALW.

156. The Rani! (I just watched that episode last night.)

172. That's so awesome.

185. Obvious? Not at all. I'm pretty sure everybody who bashes other fans is like this. (Also: go on and like whatever you want! Be proud!)

138. Why do you classify fandom feminists as "extremists?"

152

[frostious.livejournal.com]

152. Naw, it's more along the lines of "I suck at action and stealth games" with me. Seriously, as much as I'd love to play the MGS games (besides the first one, which I only managed to complete after watching someone else do it first so I knew what was coming and what I was supposed to do, orz) I'm just not good enough. I don't even have any videogame-savvy friends who I could ask to play it for me. *grumble grumble*

Re: 152

[kinosino.livejournal.com]

If I got through MGS3 with Very Easy mode and an infinite ammo tranq gun, I'm sure you can too! :3
