4. I read scanlations of Loveless so long ago. Recently, I watched the anim and started reading through the manga again, but i just can't get into it. I'm tempted to blame the fans as well >_> I can't see what all the squeeing is about. It's cute sometimes, but it's also pretty dark, occasionally hitting on something deep but also drifting through bouts of fluff. I dunno, it just does nothing for me. I blame Yun Kouga for not knowing how to tell a damn story. Love her, enjoyed Earthian, but honestly wished she'd get an actual writer to tell the story while she just sat back and drew pretty pictures. x_x

7. I feel your pain ;_;

8. More fangirl populated fandoms means that anything there is instantly more popular, especially if it contains a favored pairing. Sucks, but that's how it is.

11. I saw that XD I don't know the characters so I can't comment on that, but I did feel a sense of sadness for the poor guy. He was completely emasculated there.

12. Blah blah blah shut up. -_-
Sorry, but slash is not more realistic. Hello! Harry Potter slash? Harry/dead father? Harry/Voldemort? Harry/Unicorn/Hagrid?
Opinion.
Don't kid yourself, slash writers have plenty of stereotypes.
Opinion. If anything, it has more older fans/writers as opposed to yaoi that draws in younger fans who then produce questionable material, but they're young and they're learning. (This is not an excuse for everyone, some people just suck, yes, in slash fandoms too)
Fangirls, braindead or otherwise, stupid, and wank are everywhere. Again, Harry Potter fandom anyone? You have all three in spades.
If you think nobody cosplays slash fandoms, you're stupid.
There are always otaku. An otaku is any super obsessed fan, and yes, there are super obsessed slash fans.
Opinion.
Opinion.
Opinion.

Wah wah wah. If you want slash friends go out and make them and stop whining about the friends you have. You're the only one to blame for friending them.

15. But it's so funny for the rest of us to read about. I laugh XD

On a random note, I'm tired of hearing about RPers falling in love with each other. I love my rp partners and all, but as friends! I like their characters as characters. If you can't separate yourself from your character and your friend from their character, you need to stop role playing. SRSLY! It's called role play for a reason!

It's perfectly possible to fall in love with a roleplayer for who they are OOC, since you start talking and all. The secrets aren't about "I love this person's character," it's "I love this person," you know? I don't find it so stupid.

True enough, but quite a few of them say "I fell in love with you through this character" or "through your journal" and that's just silly to me.

Even if they are falling in love with their true selves through casual conversation, it's generally long distance and often fruitless, no matter how in love they are. I say spare yourself the pain and just stay good friends.

*dies* Yeah, I know. I'm just saying it's not always falling for an RP character or something (which I agree is kind of a dumb thing to do).

I'm all for good friends!
