15. It does, sorry.

16. LOL, this secret will get a lot of "don't tell me what to do" replies, but I gotta say, I pretty much agree. I'm glad for fandom, sometimes, because I made friends through it and all. But all of my most memorable experiences and accomplishments have been offline, with only a small number of those being fandom-related (such as seeing a movie, meeting an actor, etc). Fandom is an okay hobby or interest, but more and more people seem over-invested in it than I see to remember. Creepy.

22. Oh please. Crap musicals? Not that the other shit is much better, but come on. It has "a tune" too. Sorry you're too ignorant to pick it out.

23. "...if she were a guy"? But it sounds like she is, sorta kinda?

Sorry YOU'RE too ignorant to appreciate an art form like musicals and know they aren't crap.

Fucker.

LOL ANGY. And ignorant. You don't know there are other musicals? Ones that aren't simplistic and cloying? I mean, I'll give Cats a pass because it's just T.S. Eliot with music. And Evita and Phantom are guilty, guilty pleasures.

There is better work out there. And, oh god, the only thing Jesus Christ Superstar was ever good for was inspiring a Mr. Show parody.

Well. The movie version made the 13 year old me have sexual fantasies about Jesus. So, that's two things.

Another plus!

Well, she's biologically a girl, despite not really caring what people think of her as (her dad's a cross dresser), but she's still considered "the girl" by a decent amount of the fandom I've had exposure to.

Re: 23

Aha, I see. Complicated.

Sometimes I really do curse the English language for not having a gender-neutral pronoun... or one that doesn't imply non-sentience, anyway.

Re: 23

that's why people make them up. I've heard "hir" and "ze" although, I have a friend that is completely out of the gender binary, and for pronoun uses a short version of the name tay (my friend) added after finally getting through the burocracy. I also know someone else, that we just call "puppy", mostly because of the IRC screen name :P

23. Um, no. Mode of dress =/= gender identity, sry2say. I dress (and often act) like Haruhi and am fully female. And not all cross-dressers are transgendered.

Um, yeah, not exactly unfamiliar with the topic, thanksomuch, you don't need to prove your Internets cred.

I know shit about dick about the show, however, and the secret made the character sound more genderqueer than like some girl who wears boy-clothes, ooh, how transgressive (or, y'know, not).

Re: 15, 16, 22, 23

Well, I'd say that Haruhi is genderless, considering that she really doesn't cares about what she wears and what others percieve her as. I mean, most girls would be a bit disturbed about going through their intire highschool life as a male, when they're females, yet Haruhi not only does that, she also changes back into female when necessary (and by necessary, I mean when she's dragged into some crazy idea by the other characters).
