1. I think that you need to find someone who accepts you for who you are and doesn't mind what you do. Yeah, stay away from the losers, but getting into a relationship with someone who considers you at best weird and a loser unless you change, and who at worst might use your interests in divorce court as evidence you're not a fit parent/shouldn't own your pets/should lose all your common belongings isn't exactly the best idea either. ^_^
3: Tsuzuki/Hisoka for the WIN. ♥♥♥♥♥
8: I don't hate Rowling (don't care, since I've never been in HP fandom) but yeah, "Cho Chang" does sound a bit. . . erm, unresearched if not frankly racist?
9: You're not alone and there is NOTHING wrong with you! *hugs* You're not a stupid fanbrat, you're someone who developed a deeper interest in another culture after seeing some parts of it you like. If anything, you're an anti-fanbrat for knowing stuff about Japan and Japanese culture. As long as you understand Japan has had and will have its problems too (I recommend looking up World War 2 atrocities on Wikipedia and elsewhere for starters, they were equivalent to the Nazis at points when the fascist Imperial government was in power, and for modern issues and stuff, I highly recommend a browse around debito.org), you're perfectly OK.
As a question for everyone who's so upset at that, why don't you people get as angry at people who, say, fall in love with England and want to be British? Who first learned about the UK via BBC shows? Why don't you scream at someone whose dream it is to live in France or Australia? Because that's somehow more normal than Japan? It's somehow acceptable to show your nationalistic prejudice toward people who are interested in Japan as opposed to people interested in any other country? *headdesk*
10: *hugs you* People discover themselves in many different ways. No path is more valid than another.
13: I feel that way about Bleach. (don't kill me please)
14: I've had characters like that in some fandoms.
16: OMG TULIO AND MIGUEL! My best friend ships them. ♥
17: erowid.org. Go there, read the experiences in the LSD section, and then see if you *really* want to take that risk. I'm not saying OMG DRUGGZ R BADD GRRRRR, as that's pretty useless, but AT LEAST put as much research into it as you should were you writing it rather than doing it, and make an informed decision.
18: I can has elitism lol?
19: I think we need to just throw out "wapanese" and "weeaboo." They only serve to create a class distinction that really isn't needed, and maybe if we all encouraged the "wapanese" and "weeaboos" to be more mature and learn more respect and so on rather than shunning them, they might.
