It's possible to plagiarize fanworks. Yeah, it is. And I find the butthurt over it hilarious. If that makes me an asshole, oh well. I'm sure as fuck not gonna deny that.

If I baked you a cake, and you took it and brought it to a party and said, "Look at this cake I made! Aren't I awesome and talented?" you'd be a douchebag.

Says you. There's an entire marketing culture built around taking credit for a homemade meal that you bought out of the freezer case and threw into the oven for ten minutes, but I don't see anyone bitching about poor Stouffer's.

[(Anonymous)]

Stouffer's gets money though.

[(Anonymous)]

So? The original creators are getting money, too. That doesn't make fans demanding credit for derivative works that they didn't authorize (and in a few cases, are extremely uncomfortable with) any less snotty.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, but they're marketing it as something you can pass off as home-cooked. If my friend asked me for a fanwork they could pass off as their own, and I agreed and gave it to them, I wouldn't ask for any sympathy either.

[(Anonymous)]

And I think it's hilarious to ask for sympathy when the thing you "created" isn't your own work anymore than Stouffer's lasagna is your ancient family recipe.

[(Anonymous)]

If you weren't a blatant troll, I'd say that you had clearly no clue what a translation actually entails.

It is not a mechanical process where one magically creative genius writes the song or poem or story in the original language and then some knuckle-dragging hack simply plods through a rote process of substituting words and grammar of the target language. The translator has to think about not just what the words denote, but what they imply, has to decide how to handle idioms and allusions that only exist in the original language, has to basically create a new work both aided by and constrained by the original. Anyone who doesn't realize that writing a translation actually means doing a lot of work has no idea about the subject and their opinion means little.

But of course, you're just a troll, so I'm surprised you didn't go with the whole "anime? why are you making such a big fuss about something that's only for little kids??" troll-shtick.

What a disgusting creature. Always gotta have that one asshole, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Well aware I'm an asshole. Your point being?

[(Anonymous)]

Just that you aren't worth much time or effort.

[(Anonymous)]

Then why did you bother replying? =D

[(Anonymous)]

Thought you might like the attention. A couple of sentences isn't much time or effort to me, so it was within reason.

[(Anonymous)]

And now you're going to spend between 4-6 comments telling me how much you don't care and that you're leaving the thread, yes REALLY leaving this time, HONEST.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, this is a simple, fairly brainless way to procrastinate.

[(Anonymous)]

This is rather interesting. Your opinion is that one should do nice things for the sake of it, regardless of how the recipient of said things responds. To do a nice thing and then get upset when the recipient responds by doing something that's decidedly not nice is selfish. And yet, you acknowledge that you are an asshole, and that your opinion on this issue is part of what makes you an asshole.

Is an admitted asshole really the best person to tell others how to go about being nice? I have my doubts.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe? Not that I give a shit *shrug*

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, but you give so many shits. So very, very many shits. They're all over this thread.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, not really. I just like seeing people get uppity about fandom bullshit =D

[(Anonymous)]

You should try the thread for Secret #20. Fresh wank over there. :D
