ME TOO OMG UGH!!

I have friends who RP Jrock artists... I don't look down on them for it or anything like that I just can't understand myself and find it a liiiiittle creepy.

Ugh... and the picture you used? I've seen slash of them. I sobbed. Lots. I love them, just not in horrible, TOTALLY OOC gay sex situations D:

That translates roughly too:

What the hell were you smoking and can I have some?

At least we don't read, write or look at pedophilia (hello shota), don't encourage stereotypes (UKE SEME ZOMG!) and don't encourage a horrible image of women (huge boobs, stupid, etc etc).

Wait, so shota RPS never exists, and neither do ukes or semes in RPS, and oh yeah, RPS isn't only with hot pop stars, right? I mean... I don't even mind RPS, but don't act like it's something chaste and untainted or something.

IMHO Eliwood and Lyn have no chemistry at all. :C The pairing's bored me to tears for as long as I've had the game. I can't see it developing past friendship no matter how hard I try, and I have tried just because there's so much of that and so little of Eliwood/anyone else (except for Hector but I don't like that one either.)

Lyn doesn't really pair up with anyone in my mind anymore--I was a big fan of Hector/Lyn for a while but that's gone by the wayside. Ninian's a good match for him, I think, and like you said I think it shows off his character better.

But Eliwood/Florina is still my OTP. Though if I remember correctly that would be considered a crack pairing. x3

Sounds more like a disease than a preference.

Haha, it would. It's bound to be better than Eliwood/Fiora, though, what a boring pairing THAT is. I think I even like Eliwood/Lyn better than Eliwood/Fiora.

Paris Hilton is a worse image of women than any anime/videogame woman that's ever existed. And I'm positive there's RPF about her or Nicole whatshername.

I'm not. I'm talking about the bandslash fandom which those two secrets are about. We just don't have shota. Also, sexual position are more interchangeable in bandom, as in most other slash (as opposed to yaoi) fandoms.

Again, I'm talking about bandslash fandom.
(And I agree that Paris Hilton is a horrible role model - but in contrast to most women/girls in anime, she earns her own money and is relatively independent from men.)

Re: 9+10

[identity profile] dots.livejournal.com 2007-05-11 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm really DYING to know what animes you watch that you think "most" anime girls are like that. My bets are on hentai.

Re: 9+10

[identity profile] neoteros.livejournal.com 2007-05-11 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Bandslash would have shota if bands had kids in them. And sure, sexual positions are interchangeable, but they still have people turning some people into weepy ukes and others into raging semes. I'm just saying, all fandoms have their bad points, and none of them are worse than another.

1. Or you just dig chicks who look like twelve-year-olds. UUHH.

9,10. - LOTR rps is part of my TRAGIC PAST. I wince when I remember those days!!!

Er, no, actually not.
If you compare stereotypical heroines of shoujo series, you will notice that most of them share the feature of being dependent on a man in one way or another (Sailormoon, all Yuu Watase series etc). That applies to many shounen series too. Also, girls who seems strong at first (i.e. Sakura of Naruto) prove to have the same character trait.

Re: 9+10

[identity profile] dots.livejournal.com 2007-05-11 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
But there are plenty of anime girls that aren't like that -- see icon for example. 8) Admittedly, I'm not way into anime like I used to be, but I think it's unfair to say "most."

Re: 9+10

(Anonymous) 2007-05-11 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if those kids were below 15. I've read a lot of bandslash fic, and there aren't even AUs in which the boys (and girls) are below 16 or 17.
I wasn't saying that bandom didn't have bad points, I was just saying that the stereotype 'seme/uke' will occur more frequently in anime/manga/game based fandoms.
*shrugs*
I don't wanna start a fight with you - I just felt those secrets were unjustified probably coming from somebody who doesn't know shit about bandslash. (And just for the record, I've been involved in a lot of anime/manga based fandoms, so I believe I kind of can make comparisons.)

(Judging from the wikipedia description of the character she seems like a plain mary sue to me :)
But sure, there are exceptions - but they're rare because the reception for realistic characters is not as good as for tragic/beautiful/special/dependent ones because they don't meet the Japanese ideal of women.

2. I make fanart icons, but only for my own personal use, and I'm always. sure to credit the fanartist. I don't put them up at my icons journal, because while I'm kind of 'okay, whatever' if people don't credit me, I really don't want them to not credit the fanartist. If that makes any sense at all?

5. This just makes me want to make a secret that says NINIAN PWNS YOU.

9. ...Hate RPF as well. *shudder*

2, 9 +10

If I use fanart in my icons, I'd rather the artist get the credit for their hard work than I for making an icon out of it. I know I'd go batshit insane if someone made an icon of my (atrocious) art and demand credit for their hard work on the icon and not mention the hard work I did for my art.

---

I never understood RPS either. People had in the past tried to get me into J-Rock slash, but I never got into J-Rock or J-Rock slash (thank the dark gods for small miracles). I dunno why, but I just find RPS creepy too. Hmm.

5. Lyn's great n' all, but she's not a favorite of mine. and what's up with the Ninian hate? she wasn't that bad.

11. hay Ragnarok art :D that was a sexy manga

I THINK PARIS HILTON WOULD BE A FASCINATING CHARACTER IF SHE WAS WRITTEN RIGHT. AND IF SHE WAS FICTIONAL because I don't like RPF.
