7. You are not alone, secret-maker. =3

Xy's too lazy to log in~

2. Yeah, I think I used to do that but that was because the galleries for "guys" and "girls" on animevisions weren't separated by fandom. But seriously, what? Riku's not even a girl. ._.
11. I wanna be a scanlator too! But my Japanese isn't good enough. T_T
12. I didn't think it was so bad. Besides, it was really supposed to be just 20 minutes of battling. The "Smiles" bridge? THAT was bad.

1. For sure~
10. FUCKING WORD.
12. Oh yeah, totally with you on this one. I was so FUCKING excited and I waited for new screenshots with glee. The movie came out, and I was even excited the first time I saw it. But now? I don't even want to watch the whole thing through again.

4. Get a life. A hobby is not a profession. You're not wasting tax dollars on bad RPers, what a bad Rper is happens to be your perception and opinion, and you're being a baby for wanting to rant about it and whine. You're pretending to be a fictional character writing in a journal (hell, it's OOC for half of manga characters to write in stupid journals in the first place), and vicariously channeling judgment and emotion through them. Just as someone holds religion as a way to feel superior, just as someone holds psychology or science as a way to feel superior, you feeling the need to rant and whine about others just having fun and how it effects you is lame. Suck it up, loser.

There are sane RPers, sane religious people, and sane scientific people. However, the dictators of these denominations ruin it all.

LOL at you. Let people have fun. ZOMG THEY HURT YOUR CHARACTER'S INTERACTIONS? IM SO SORRY. IM SO SORRY ;___;

10. Iawtc and wrote a rant on it a while back.

I just wanted to add a ♥ to number ten again.

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2007-03-17 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
OKAY here I am being a lamer, but what does Iawtc stand for?

(frozen comment)

Wow. Making a rant AGAINST 4 and supporting 10 so strongly when they're basically rooted in the same sentiment of getting angry only because situations have justified said anger?

Now, that's hypocrisy. Just because you understand regular fandom stuff but not roleplaying doesn't give you some badge to condemn one but not the other.

I'M SO SORRY OMG

I FORGOT.

I JUST AGH

OMG.

You're ruining it for me

YOU SUCK THAT MUCH


NOW LET ME WRITE IC SEPHIROTH IN PEACE.

WITH, YOU KNOW. HIM WRITING ABOUT HIS DAY IN A JOURNAL.

(Anonymous) 2007-03-17 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, some RPs have characters who barely make any journal entries at all. And some applications to RP communities even say an applicant doesn't have to fill out the first-person sample section if they feel their character isn't the type to write a journal entry.

So, uh. Your argument is pretty narrow-minded.

[identity profile] ew-younerd.livejournal.com 2007-03-17 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Sup, Anony-chan-doki doki?

I'll just copypasta a rant I did because I'm too lazy to type up most of it

You know what I hate aside from everything?

How people like. Start internet drama and cry about annoying nerdy things like roleplaying games and pairings and fanfiction...and then if someone says something to them their immediate defense is "LOL THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS." Um, okay, that defense is kind of ruined with the fact that you're....ranting and whining about RPGs, fictional pairings, and fanfiction.

Since when has the serious business defense become so easy to throw around and use? :( You're contradicting yourself by saying it if you talk about making fun of internet drama and seriousness when all you do is whine and cry about these supposed non-serious issues in the first place.

Examples:

"UGHHH I FUCKING HATE THAT NARUTO RPER THEY ARE SUCH SHIT!!!! DURP!!"

"Eh, you're being a baby. It's a nerdy fucking roleplaying game, just leave it alone."

"NO!!! I CAN PRETEND TO BE A FAKE PERSON BETTER THAN THAT NARUTO PERSON CAN!! THEREFORE I'M LIKE WAY COOLER!!!"

"Dude, shut the hell up."

"THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS LOL I DIDN'T MEAN TO UPSET YOU OOPS SORRY YOU BABY"
--------

"Ugh. I hate Cloud/Sephiroth. Seeing it just makes my blood boil. I want every fucking fangirl of that pairing to die. When I see fanart or fanfiction for it I get physically ill."

"It is a fictional pairing, let people like whatever the hell they like."

"OOPS I DIDN'T KNOW THE INTERNET WAS SRS BZNSS, SORRY BUDDY"



Ugh whaejawe nerds.

Your right to use the serious business defense is immediately taken away, and all further use of the phrase will be rendered useless and nullified in meaning, if you originally cried in the first place and just used "Srs bznss" as a contrived defense to your retarded wank.


When I see like, say for example, two people making uh.

Cloud and Sephiroth sparkle at each other and make kissie faces. No matter how lame that is, I'm not gonna spoil their fun. I agree with Ten, not on the part where it has to do with justifying someone getting serious over something in the first place (I think that's lame n retarded lulz), but the way the "Srs bznss" thing is thrown around.

Don't get so scared, kiddo. I can admit my mistakes, and I should have elaborated just how I agreed on ten. But it was like, a bit tl;dr so I didn't read the entire thing, hahahaa.

Also yes I do have a badge

I did not know this, and I apologize for the misconception. However, I must say that regardless, her argument seems pretty misguided to me.

Is there some personal issue I'm stupidly missing here? D:

[identity profile] ew-younerd.livejournal.com 2007-03-17 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I'm so racist and ignorant against roleplayers. Start a revolution, kid.

You're looking too much into what I am saying. This secret is crying about how other people can ruin a game for them, but in reality, what ruins a game is drama and whining about other players in the first place. Just up your tolerance level and find fandom nirvana, and stop judging because unless someone is wildly OOC on a ridiculous level, most of that stuff is open to character interpretation.

And yeah, I forgot the RP characters that have characters just go "Hn" and "Tch."

Oopsies.

I was talking about ones that do make journal entries, obviously. So uh, your defense is pretty much looking too much into what I said.

"I agree with this comment."

[identity profile] ew-younerd.livejournal.com 2007-03-17 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree with that comment~

[identity profile] ew-younerd.livejournal.com 2007-03-17 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, [livejournal.com profile] sugartits words things a lot less douchey than I do, so apologies if I offended you, anony-chan.

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2007-03-17 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Lina~ ♥

All right, yes, not knowing was driving me nuts. Thanks. XD

you feeling the need to rant and whine about others just having fun and how it effects you is lame. Suck it up, loser.

Wait, so you're saying that ranting and whining about something that annoys you is lame? I'm not sure I understand the reasoning here. You're ranting and whining about my secret, aren't you? Does that make you lame too? No offense intended, just a bit confused.

My secret was that sometimes RP ranting is justified, in that it's not just me saying "LOL U SUK I RP BETTER THAN U," it's about me saying "okay, RP HOWEVER YOU LIKE, but once that starts to AFFECT MY CHARACTERS, I have a right to be annoyed." You play Gatts, right? If your Griffith started prancing about in a pink tutu and giggling at flowers and YOU, ICLY, HAD TO RESPOND TO THAT, (more so if the other player refused to let you hurt their character in any way and kept insisting upon interacting with you) wouldn't you be annoyed?

Hobbies are supposed to be for fun, and once someone starts ruining that fun, it's not so much a hobby any more, is it?

(Anonymous) 2007-03-17 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, well, thanks for clearing that up, and I apologize for assuming you weren't a roleplayer, though your rant made it seem that way. :(

However.... anything you said that might have made me respect your opinion was completely undone with your introduction of the word "kiddo." When you're trying to talk about not being condescending towards fellow roleplayers because of different opinions, you might want to consider changing your own condescending tone towards them.

But enough! My opinion has been spoken and I'm done with the wank. Good day!

I'd also like to add that I didn't appreciate how you immediately assumed I was an idiot and some kind of RP-nazi, because I'm not. I'm just a person that's frustrated that every time I mention being annoyed with roleplay in any way, everyone jumps into CRY MORE!!!! mode and no one ever even tries to see how it might be reasonable anger.

(Anonymous) 2007-03-18 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Once again with the word "kid." Tsk tsk. For all you know, I could be a spunky grandma.

And your argument about only talking about the ones who make journal entries is bullshit, considering you were speaking in response to a general statement about bad RPers that in no way mentions journal entries. You brought that into the equation, meaning you are actually criticizing other roleplayers in the same way that you condemn!

NOW I'm done. Logic has done its work for me.

[identity profile] ew-younerd.livejournal.com 2007-03-18 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd take a game that has a very OOC NaruSasu or something over a game where all of the players shit talk each other and start drama anyday, rofl
