I hate to break it to you, but liking a character because you find their voice aesthetically pleasing does not make you less shallow than liking them because you find their body aesthetically pleasing.

Fictional characters: SERIOUS BUSINESS.

But... the way I read the secret, the person wasn't saying that at all. They were saying that the elitist/uppity fans shouldn't get uppity/elitist over Kankurou fans who only became Kankurou fans due to voice acting/fanservice or whatever.

Oh? I guess I read it wrong. It's just that the poster became a Kankuro fan because of his voice, and they seem to be saying that this is less fanbratty than being a fan of him because he's hot...just what it looked like to me. *shrug*

Mm. I interpreted it more as them just being irked at purist Kankurou fans for looking down on any other fans. So XD INTERPRETATIONZ FTW?

Bingo! You win the prize! :3

Basically, I'm not to verbal about my favorites in fandom. But just because I started to say how much Kankuro needs love and that I'm a fan I'm suddenly one of the "OMG SHIRTLESS MAKEUP LESS BISH KANKY!!!" fans? D:

It's kinda unfair to assume that.

Ummmm, that's not what I meant. At all.

But since it seems like you interpenetrated it differently, I'll sum it up. :D

Elitist Kankuro fans that hiss at regular Kankuro fans suck. I liked him BEFORE his "shirt off yey!" scene. Just because I didn't show up RIGHT WHEN Kishimoto introduced the character doesn't mean I am one of the "shirt off yey!" fans.

I also luff his dub voice, and in most elitist fan eyes dub = HOMG FROTHING EBIL.

Ahhhh. Yeah, I completely misinterpreted that. Sorry. Yes, that makes more sense. XD

(Kankuro is pretty awesome, by the way. With or without shirt.)
