1. I WANT TO BE ONE TOO. DDD:

Re 6

[(Anonymous)]

I found out I was bisexual through fandom. It didn't go away once I left the computer.

Re: Re 6

[(Anonymous)]

Bisexual people do not exist. It just means you're still experimenting, or perhaps you're simply afraid to admit to your homosexuality anon

6) ...I could say so many things about this, but it would incriminate me horribly and require me revealing stuff about my past that's better left unsaid. I must say, however, that no matter the origins, the woman in my icon makes me VERY HAPPY if you know what I mean. :|

11) I'm about the same way with Bleach.

7. I agree with everything there except Chibiusa being best and not standing Ami, but those are opinions so I totally respect them (because Chibiusa is awesome, but I think Mako is best and I like Ami because when I first saw the series I was like her.) I'm actually watching the whole series, all of them, over again. The only reason I'm gritting my teeth and sticking with S is because Fisheye amuses the hell out of me.

8. TOTALLY! Digimon over the kids. But it REALLY sucked to have that series where the kids BECAME digimon. Ew.

16. Yeah, I agree but for different reasons. 23 has been my number for 5 years, and it's always been my good luck number. Like, a holy number if you would. I had so many ways of referring to it and I had a lot of jokes regarding it. It was my thing. But since the movie came out everyone gets all paranoid and stuff over it.

My tl;dr point on it... GIVE ME BACK MY NUMBER!

[dots.livejournal.com]

I feel the random need to point out that 23 = 2 + 3 = 5

:O

15. No offense meant here, but I second the motion.

[fangirlism]

4. Uh... hope you're not on my f-list. *shifty eyes*

[grayout.livejournal.com]

*dies* They need to add "1. are you a woman" to that quiz, most guys I know would say yes to every question.

[pimmy.livejournal.com]

8. YES. the digimon need love too.
I'm so happy i didnt have the internets when digimon was popular. I cared more about drawing my own digimon and playing "lets pretend we're digimon" games with my siblings than WHAT CHARACTER GOES WITH WHAT.

10. The PW fandom has been infested with yaoi fangirls (some who havnt even PLAYED the games) and it's horrible T_T Someone start writing/drawing different pairings and maybe some HET pleaaase.

RE: 10

[cybersky.livejournal.com]

I'd rather see more gen, myself. I'm just not as crazy about the shipping as the rest of the fandom. =/

[musouka-manga.livejournal.com]

10 - Cry more. PW is a tiny fandom. YOU'RE not being opressed by the big, bad popular couple. (Besides, het gets more comments anyway)

[dusk.livejournal.com]

2. You can have an orignal-looking style that still would be considered anime. =/ Not every anime has enortmous sparkly eyes and teensy noses and *~*~kawaii~*~* pentagonal faces.

11. CAPSLOCK COMMS 4 DA WIN.

15. Well, if it's IC, there's not much you can do about it. D:

[pretentioustfu.livejournal.com]

2. You can have an orignal-looking style that still would be considered anime. =/ Not every anime has enortmous sparkly eyes and teensy noses and *~*~kawaii~*~* pentagonal faces.

WORD. In fact, some of the more popular anime in existence don't have these. Cowboy Bebop? Is anime and manga. It has none of that. Paranoia Agent? Only has it for effect. Haibane Renmei, RahXephon. . . expand your mind a little within your anime art.

[moebot.livejournal.com]

I agree with the first part. Not the second. People come to terms with their sexuality in different ways, and if it's through fandom, I honestly don't think it's my place to trivialize what is usually an extremely personal road to self-discovery just because of that.

I used to have a knee-jerk reaction against people who claimed to be bisexual/gay just because it seemed that they took on that label to make themselves edgier, but then the same criticism was leveled at me for a different reason ("you've dated/had sex with guys in the past and you sometimes talk about guys being sexy, you can't be a real lesbian!") and it really hurt, so it made me re-evaluate my position on doing the same to others.

[(Anonymous)]

That's why I said "I know it's not fair." I'd like to be able to embrace all my ~lesbian sistren~ regardless of their path to their sexuality, but I've started having and seeing so many bad experiences with "fandom lesbians" that it's getting hard. :/

Woah There Soldier

[meganubunny.livejournal.com]

2. Though I am suffering from a similar problem, anime is not at all to blame. You should blame yourself for choosing to draw that way. Hell, I blame myself.

4. I hate people who defriend people over what they like. So they like something squickly, big deal. To each his own. If people defriended people for one interest they don't like, they'd probably have no friends at all. You can hate an interest sure, but I think hating a person over it is stupid.

...Unless like, the thing you hate is all they talk about. That's kinda understandable then. D:

6. For some reason I wanted to bitch about this. Then I remembered that I don't really have much of a sex drive so it'd be pointless to really state an opinion on it.

[staticlights.livejournal.com]

11. yup. That sums up my feelings quite nicely as well

[valkyriur.livejournal.com]

#8, I was always liked the non-humans better on both Digimon and Pokemon. I RPed being a Pokemon in the wild with my friends, rather than being a trainer.

#16, I know how you feel. Not about the number 23, but other stuff that was relatively unknown and then got ruined by new stuff.

[halcyonjazz.livejournal.com]

10. If there's any slash/yaoi fans that claim they're oppressed, then they must be the minority o_O GS fandom is pretty mild when it comes to pairings from what I've seen, and there are pretty random ones being posted to the comms all the time. The only crime the slash fans cause is the fact that they're the majority. And with the fodder the game gives them, can you really expect anything less?

[(Anonymous)]

2. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Luckily I do not aspire to be a professional artist.
4. Eh, each to their own. remember that someone who likes shota is not necessarily a paedophile though!
6. Kind of agreed :\ I kind of automatically assume that anyone who say they are bi on LJ or similar are doing it for attention/because it is trendy. thinking a female anime character is attractive does not equal sexual orientation, jeez (see comment on 4). and yes i know that real bisexuals exist.
10. I PERSONALLY hate when people hate on characters or pairings because they are ~popular~ but whatever.

augh bed time for me :|

[fangirlism]

4. Eh, each to their own. remember that someone who likes shota is not necessarily a paedophile though!

Yes... if Strikethrough '07 has taught us anything, it's this! (I so need a "Livejournal says reading manga makes me a pedo!" icon)

[dreaming-faerie.livejournal.com]

7. We aren't all that bad! I love Chibi Usa and I like SuperS and Stars the best. You may wanna stay away from the cosplayers.

13. ...Do I know you? Damn you sound like my VG-Babe! She got moi into M-Flo and wants ot get more people into it!

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

The cosplayers are scary XD THE OTAKIN DUDE. WHOA.

[ekoko.livejournal.com]

2: I understand and agree completely. When I was a kid I thought anime was the coolest, most prettiest thing out there. Now my style is already so INCREDIBLY stereo typical - I hate it! I mean, sometimes I enjoy drawing anime, but you know what I'd REALLy prefer? Disney style. *__* Not to mention like 209483209842 other awesome styles out there. But I can't pull it off or retrain myself for the life of me! I try so much, but the only kind of pictures I feel even MILDLY confident in are my stupid typical animu shitty drawings.

4: We wouldn't got along lolololol

11: Caps communities are pure win. *A*

[sleeves.livejournal.com]

4: We wouldn't got along lolololol

I second this lol

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

7. The Sailor Moon fandom can be an absolute NIGHTMARE. X_X I always felt insecure because people could be so wanky and opinionated and downright assholes.

[thepinkangel.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the otakin~
We're not ALL terrible, by the way :D; It can be hard to believe, because there are few...understanding people, but they exist XD;

[morinzilion.livejournal.com]

#2: Same here, actually. I've suddenly realized how gross my anime-styled art looked because I tried to draw using the proportions of my own body, and have since given up anime-style to try and get a more fluid style closer to realism.

#16: It would've been really cool if you were #23 on the list of fandom secrets. However, I bet you have a way of relating the number 16 to 23.

[(Anonymous)]

23 - 16 = 7
picture 7 has 9 characters
7+9 = 16 again

loop lolz

[ovendoor.livejournal.com]

4. OH SHIIIIIIIIIIII- SHOTA HAET. Who gives a shit.

5. I'LL HALP 8DDDDDDDDDDDD

[cakemix.livejournal.com]

13.) Holy god, m-flo is LOVE. ♥ In fact, they're also what got me into the band DOPING PANDA because of their collaboration together! XD

[citizenjess.livejournal.com]

Wow, I don't think I've disagreed with so many of these in one post before!

[ex-parle.livejournal.com]

4 - if there's anyone on my list who likes shota, I'll still read their entries about it (as long as they don't post pictures, hosnap, or put up a warning about it -_-; ) but I won't exactly comment because I wouldn't know what to respond with. Shota doesn't interest me that way but hey, if it floats their boat.. no sense in putting them down for something they like, you know? OH SO YOU LIKE ICE CREAM? I HATE ICE CREAM, SO THAT MEANS I HATE YOU GTFO NOA PLZ. ...yeahhhhhh, no.


12 - uhh, well that's really helpful, unless you're talking about ALL fandoms in general, wf....?

[(Anonymous)]

liking icecream=/=sexual interest in little boys

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

2. Anime has retarded art imo and I usually just love it for the facial expressions and the awesome storylines. The archetypes are fun sometimes, too. I only can think the more realistic ones look attractive :( and oh god what I wouldn't GIVE for an anime GIRL to look realistic...whether it's making her a bit chubby or giving her a bigger nose, I'd seriously die ♥ and be hers. We get sexy, realistic, manly looking men sometimes in anime..why not realistic women? :\

4. I have a kink for teenager/adult, but kid/adult ain't my thing in fiction. However I don't really care when it is someone's thing as long as it's not their ONLY thing. Anyone over the top about anything is boring/disturbed/retarded.

6. BLAH BLAH BISEXUALS EXISTTTT. I think that you're not trying to say there are no such thing as real girls who find out they are gay through fandom, or real bisexuals. It just means you're mistrusting or skeptical of some. I understand, but i only feel that way about RP lesbians. I get upset because I've seen a lot of girls claim to fall in love with an RPer and 'come out' only to break that chick's heart because when they aren't RPing her yaoi OTP, her love randomly faadesss~

But a sexuality for everything exists. Homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, asexual, airplanesexual, shoesexual, it's out there and real.

7. I LOVE SAILOR MOON. I HATE THE FANDOM. AGREED. All the yuri would be cool if there was no stupid pairing wars :[ Whatever. And the chibiusa bashing is lame.
