1. I'm not really into fashion or bands or anything, but Nana is pretty much my favorite comic/manga thing. I love it mostly for the realistic characters and how they relate to each other. Their interactions don't feel sugarcoated or "fluffy" but at the same time are never meaningless. I can understand how it wouldn't float everyone's boat though.

Hachi is also one of my favorite female leads ever. She actually acts like a 20-year-old girl trying to live on her own for the first time would really act. I know most people can't stand her, but I adore her mistakes. Can't lie, either ... I love the tons of subtext between the two female leads. X]

8. That's kind of obnoxious of your friend. Geez. Sorry. Just a passing Narutard here apologizing for one of our own. :/

14. I'm not sure if that's a fair comparison. While the stereotypes applied to Arabs are truly despicable, I can certainly see how it would be offensive to be treated like a collector's object or unfairly idealized just because you're Asian. And it does happen, especially in fandom. Too much respect for a culture is not the issue - respect is fine! But I suspect (and I don't know, because I'm not Asian, reaching out on a limb here) it's kind of like the same feeling as when a man credits me for being caring and sensitive simply because I'm a woman. Caring and sensitive are not bad traits, but you marginalized when someone generalizes like that or defines you by how you born (which you had no part or choice in) rather than by the person you've worked to be.
