10) So only Japanese people have the right to draw doujinshi? O RLY?

Saying that only Japanese people can draw doujin well is just as stereotypical as saying that all American artists suck.

Yeah, but YOU'VE GOT PLOT. OMG PLOTZ. Something that a lot of doujinshi lack because they go straight to teh pronz. X)

[queenie-z.livejournal.com]

And yes, I know that the doujin I'm doing has terrible art compared to other stuff, but you know what? That's exactly the reason why I'm not selling it or posting it outside of my LJ - so that stereotyping Japanophiles like you don't discredit the thing just because it's not TEH JAPANEEZ!!!1111 OMG WAAAAAAI ^________^

[luzerna.livejournal.com]

Yes yes yes. x( I'm glad someone else said this too so I'm not the only one.

There are plenty of good American doujin, just like there are tons of really bad Japanese ones. Foreign =/= superior. Maybe I'm just reading the wrong ones but all most seem to have going for them is the art--the storylines aren't exactly what you'd call original or even entertaining, not so different from comics coming from the West. =| We just see more crap here because we're in the English-speaking fandom.
