9. Well, certainly I don't agree with commissioning fanart; I personally offer anything but because of this. I see the double standard you're talking about, but for some reason I think most people would be less inclined to commission fic anyway...

12. I would have never cared for Voldemort as a character until they cast Ralph Fiennes :[ ♥

14. AGREED. I can't ship either. (Well, except a little Harry/Luna). But I CERTAINLY don't support the canon of Remus/Tonks. He was MISERABLE. Fuck that.

15. Me too. :< I like comfort!fluff best~ ♥

26. If you want more friends in the fandom, join some Naruto comms. See who else you can find~

5. I don't know if this has already been said, but there IS a live action Archie movie! It's not that bad, thought it's not really that spectacular, either. =)

HAHA PWNT.

27. Gintama and Excel Saga's humor is not the same kind of humor they use in SZS. Those two I can understand, but SZS relies mainly on references for its humor. It doesn't make sense because the humor doesn't transcend to other audiences, not because it's "bad."

There was also that really cute comic where Reggie saved Betty from getting hit by a semi, and they started going steady for awhile. It made me ship Reggie/Betty. ._.

What's this one about Reggie saving Betty from frat boys, and why have I never heard it? :O

LOL Utena fandom.

Also, yes, most of the ones I know tend to be "asexual" or girls who think they are really boys... e_e

... you're cruising on the failboat there. If they're "asexual" then they're not lesbians. If they "think they are really boys", they're straight boys, not lesbians.

Hatesex! ... or maybe more like contemptsex.

About Gintama and the others, you bring up a good point. Maybe it is the cultural differences that make #27 not understand what's so humorous about these series.

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

Thankyou!

[sirhellsing420.livejournal.com]

10 - FTWLIEKWHOA! :D

27 - While I do understand and respect that you have your own opinion about what is and isn't humorous, I can't make myself fully accept your opinion without knowing or watching what you consider funny. Go figure. ;/

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

If only it was.


DAMNIT ME TOO.

...OMG BERSERK AVA!

OP here, what I meant is that if you take a diverse group of people in the real world, very few of them would be homosexual. I think I read somewhere that around 10% of the population is homosexual. Yet, when I gather my flist together, a good 70-80% of them are homosexual, or at least bi. Considering that fandom is just as diverse as the world is (you've got fans from all over the world congregating online, after all), one would think that the total percentage of homosexuals in fandom would be parallel to the worldwide percentage, give or take a little. At least, that's what I thought - if that makes me stupid, I'm sorry for being stupid. :)

16. Oh no. Here we go again. Other people have the right to do whatever they want with their free time. Suck it.

18. I've always loved his dubbed voice too!

20. Yeah, Bleach does get a lot of attention, but look at it this way: more attention = more negative attention such as ship wars, character bashing, badfic, etc. As much as I've always liked Bleach, its fandom has made me quite bonkers. XD Smaller fandoms get fewer fantards.

26. I've been there. For me it's really hard to pair standoffish characters like Gaara up with anyone, and while it works for some people it may not work for others. A squee for one person isn't necessarily transferable to a squee for someone else and I hope this very closed-minded friend of yours can see that someday.

I... then that must just be your friendslist? Because I know I don't get the "everybody is gay" vibe from fandom XD

Re: 16...

I hate hiking, camping, and amusement parks, there are no movies out that I wish to see, and I don't see the point of going to the library when I can read equally good fiction on the internet from the comfort of my house. I also work my ass off, and the last thing I want to do after dealing with shitty customers and screaming children all day is spend my weekends and evenings in the worst areas of town hoping I won't get mugged, raped, or worse.

I've met and made more friends through online fandom than I ever have face to face. I refuse to say "in real life." Because these people I call "friend" are not figments of my imagination; they're real flesh-and-blood people, and I will not invalidate their friendship by implying my online social life is "fake," just because of the medium we communicate in. Dare I mention I met my girlfriend, whom I love to pieces and will soon be leaving the country to live with, through a Livejournal fandom?

No, I don't have much of a life outside of internet fandom. I prefer it that way. Because the sheer amount of bullshit I put up with offline makes me enjoy being online all the more. I might consider spending two weeks away from my laptop if the people around me didn't suck so much.

Thank you.

22. Hey, I have both Rammstein and Spamalot on my iPod. Does that make me cool?
