08. :( that pairing makes absolutely no sense. sorry.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

I don't think it has to for people to ship it, and really who cares?

I'm big on femmeslash but even I can admit that I think Brock is about a thousand times hotter with her :( sigh. And I love Dr. Girlfriend.

[emileesaurus]

9. You're totally not alone! I was so hoping Jake would be back in GS4 so I'd have more of an excuse to ship hot old cowboy/chipper science geek. ♥

[amandier.livejournal.com]

2. YES!

4. PRRRROMOTIONS?! Art though talking of /m/?

26. You are not alone! Romeo x Juliet needs love!

27. DAFT PUNK SECRET FTW!

[case]

22. Kind of an offshoot but uhhhh if I had no social skills or something and I had an RP best friend that was a guy and crushed on him, or thought fandom guys were hot and told people so uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm pretty sure most of the world would consider me gay, why is that standard different for women?

[failaga.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE GAY. YOU'RE A FANDOM GAY obviously you have no social skills and you're a fake so stop insulting everyone else with your... fakeness.

having scans and text translations would be good if they could be found. I've not found a complete text translation or scan yet. so I gave up on it.

more fans would like it if it were out in English. Even in English scanlations. relying on the diehard fans to dole out what they feel like so the rest of us can enjoy it, I'll pass.

[(Anonymous)]

10 - ...that is seriously awesome. :D

14 - Incest is lovely, but Uchihacest just gets SO BORING after a while.


18 - Haha, I totally know the feeling. Bleach was the first series I didn't have any ships for, either.

22 - While I can see what you mean, I still have to say: Um, NO. Take it from someone who's had a same-sex romantic relationship with her RP best friend (IN REAL LIFE ZOMG NO WAI) for almost two years, now.

And that part about having sexual experience to "back your sexuality up" pisses me the fuck off, but everyone's pretty much summed up everything wrong with it so wonderfully eloquently I won't waste your precious SEX-CERTIFIED HOMOSEXUAL time by repeating it.

Ugh. People like you are almost as bad as homophobes.

25 - Vic ruins everything. :P

[stopping.livejournal.com]

25~ No, I disagree. D: I think he did pretty well with Edward in FMA. I absolutely love Paku Romi, but I think he did a pretty good job there, too. ;o;

26

[mirroriste.livejournal.com]

I saw Romeo x Juliet at AnimeNEXT (well, one episode) and I automatically saw Romeo/Benvolio.

If I had gotten more into it, I would have totally shipped it.

[elleestlimonade.livejournal.com]

12. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Sakuhai is awesome. And not just in RP. For real. <3!!

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

19. Oh god how true! Side B needs more fans. Everytime someone whines about how their fandom is "too big" and therefore is no longer "fun", I immediately think of Side B and wish it would be that way.

26. I really need to get back into that fandom. One of the episodes really bored me though and I haven't watched the series since. It was the episode there Romeo and Juliet ran off together and got married at the end at an abandon church. Romeo/Benvolio is an adorable pairing, I'd probably list it second Curio/Francisco (unless a hot boy for Tybalt showed up since I stopped watching).

[toxictattoo.livejournal.com]

19. I'm like a lot of people in the comments. I knew it was in existence for a long time but at the time I was interested there was NOTHING available about it.

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

22- ...I think I want to fucking kill you. =D

26- Right there with you on the last bit. XD

29- ...as for the actual fanart themselves, they kinda DO [own it]. It's the characters they don't own. And YOU sure as hell don't own it.



Disclaimer: No death threats are serious. Geez.
Disclaimer B: I wish there'd been more positive stuff to comment on, so I didn't have to make 2/3 angry replies.

[(Anonymous)]

No, they don't own it legally. Claiming the rights to distribute it would be illegal. They're not making money off it, and they wanted to share it with the fandom if they posted it, so unless they posted it because they want everyone to come leave them asskissing comments and praise for their drawings, what's the problem with other members of fandom sharing it around some more?

22

[nomadskye.livejournal.com]

First off, hasn't this been posted before?

Second, one needs "sexual experience" to back up being asexual? Wut?

Re: 22

[terrie.livejournal.com]

OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT REALLY ASEXUAL UNLESS YOU DON'T NOT HAVE A NONSEXUAL EXPERIENCE TO PROVE IT

[sevendials.livejournal.com]

19. *squees over the Side B secret*

... no, I have no idea what happens in it, but (despite my lack of relevant icons) I love it. But then I liked Gluhen too, so I'm not really representative of the fandom at large. Okay, shutting up now lest I give in to the urge to fangirl.

[powercorrupts.livejournal.com]

5, 10: BABIES.

22: I'm always curious what the people who think that you don't know your sexuality until sex think of virgins. (Or asexuals) But really, I've met plenty of people who claimed to be bi, had sex with their gender several times, didn't change their opinion, then a few years later decided they were straight.


Attempt at parody: ACK. Make the integrals go away! I have a bed and I will hide under it until they do! I just bombed a cal 3 quiz two hours ago. ._.

#6

[pinkandkhaki]

My first time playing there was just two days ago! I totally agree with you. ♥

[bodyline.livejournal.com]

I CAN'T SEE 26 BUT IT APPARENTLY HAS TO DO WITH ROMEO X JULIET? D:
That's a good show. Not the best, but good.

25: OH. GOD. YES. Add having the manga finished on to that and I would be a happy, happy person. And hell, Vic wasn't the only one to royally screw the dub up. That's one of the fews dubs I've listened to where everyone just sounded awful. D8 I love Greg Ayres, for example, and he just did not to Satoshi well.

[powercorrupts.livejournal.com]

29 (how did I miss you?) Oh god. Wtf. You don't want credit at all? Maybe you're some sort of crazy selfless person who contributes to fandom and don't like getting some sort of pleasure out of having people know you as that artist... maybe. xD Wow.

And I think watermarks are stupid because they generally piss off more people than they save art. I'm really anti art theft, but they're not even the greatest deterent.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind credit or recognition. Goodness me no. I love getting people going "omgit'sYOU" at conventions and stuff like that. I just don't go batshit over people posting my stuff on 4chan or Gaia or using it in YouTube AMV slideshow things without ASKING ME FIRST OMG or LINKING BACK TO MY SITE. When I draw fanart, I draw it for fun 'cause I enjoy drawing fanart, and when I post it, yeah, I do like the feedback, but also I just wanna share it with fandom because I know other people like it. So what's it to me if other members of fandom want to share it around some more? I'm just flattered that people like my stuff enough to do that and glad that they're letting more people enjoy it, whether they credit it or not.

[eldena.livejournal.com]

#6, word SO HARD. RPers from a bunch of different games all playing together in harmony makes the world a better place. And the fic would rock.

I love you guys♥

[jukebox-hero.livejournal.com]

22. "Everyone except me who's not straight has no social skills!" You are not a special snowflake. Your secret alone proves your lack of any social grace. You're just not smart enough to see it.

29. So do I. They get off more on seeing their name splattered everywhere than displaying their art. I have no respect for people like that.

Re: 22, 29

[stopping.livejournal.com]

You are not a special snowflake.

I don't know if that was an intentional Fight Club reference, but I love you for it anyway. ♥

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

THIS IS THE SEXUALITY POLICE SPEAKING, LISTEN UP EVERYONE.

I am disgusted by how MESSY and COMPLICATED sexuality is. I mean, it's as if gender, hormones, environment, and the functional development of the medulla, followed by the pons, then the midbrain, the forebrain and so on does not have even slight changes that can vary greatly or slightly from individual to individual when it comes to the development of sexuality and gender ambiguity! It's as if there is a medium as opposed to two things one must fit into! No way.

You're either smart or you're legally retarded.
You're either mean or you're nice.
You're either gay or you are straight.

And there are a ton of rules to follow, and circumstances do not vary these behaviours. A nice person acting mean in a situation is not really mean due to the situation, they are actually just confused and are a nice person in disguise.

And so on and so forth. So I have organized sexuality for everyone. No one needs to be confused anymore, I'm here for them.

You are BISEXUAL if you:

-Are not a teenage girl (they can't even decide what clothes to wear in the morning, let alone what gender they prefer!)
-Have never kissed a girl you are not in love with (Because any two girls just kissing are only doing it for attention, even if there are no boys around)
-Have a perfect 50/50 preference. If you prefer any gender slightly over the other you are just playing with the other gender's heart and are a fake and a liar.


You are GAY if you:

-Like one gender and stick with it forever
-Never think of the opposite sex EVER
-Have positive experiences with the same sex to back it up, especially sexually.
-Don't just crush on fictional people of the same sex, or movie stars of the same sex, or your best friend. However if a straight person crushes on movie stars and fictional characters of the opposite sex, they are straight.
-Also, if you like slash and are a lesbian, you are secretly straight and are just a fandom lesbian. However, if you are straight and think a girl character is hot or love hentai of that girl character, then you just have a fandom crush and are secretly straight also. In fact, most people are secretly straight unless they are getting rammed up the ass/vajoo by the same sex.
-Have not been abused in any way because if you have been it is obviously this abuse that turned you gay! If you were abused by a member of the opposite sex, it turned you gay. If you were abused by a member of the same sex,it also turned you gay.




You are STRAIGHT if you:

-Are a girl and like boys
-Are a boy and like girls
-Are a girl and have a crush on a girl because it's just a phase, especially if you don't want to eat out her vagina
-Are a boy and once got with your friend while you were drunk and really liked it, because you were just drunk. HOWEVER if a lesbian gets with a guy while she is drunk she's straight END OF STORY
-If you are a girl and do not like shoving your head in OMNOM delicious vaginas
-However if you're a girl and also do not enjoy intercourse with men that much but you are in love with them anyways, you are straight but you have a sexual disorder or are immature or just haven't found the right man or something. This doesn't apply to lesbians or gay men though.
-If you are a boy and hold hands with another boy ...NOT. Sorry, you're gay.




You are ASEXUAL if:

-You don't exist.
-You are in denial.
-You just haven't found the right penis or vagina.


OKAY HAVE A NICE DAY :)

[stopping.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU FOR EXISTING. I MEAN THAT. *winks out of existence*

9, 22

[stopping.livejournal.com]

9. Please. Please pleaseplease, can we please be friends? I think I'm in love with you for that. *3* And it totally doesn't help at all that I want to be Jake. >___>

22. Ahah. Darling, please. Someone who goes by asexual, or maybe even pansexual here. I make friends from pretty much the first moment I meet them, however unintentional it is. [Maybe I'm just that charismatic? ♥] And you're saying that any female in fandom who claims to be anything other than straight has no social skills, nor the experience to back up their claim. WHADDAYA CALL MY FUCKIN SKILLS, THEN? AND I have the experience to back up my claim, honey. I've been with both females and males, and suffice to say, NEITHER DOES IT FOR ME. So then what, am I just some kind of bizzare being that shouldn't technically exist?

Isulting. So insulting. I feel bad for you, to be so.... closed off. I met one of my best friends through RP, and we were dating for a little while. She's one of the sweetest people I know. My last boyfriend was someone I'd known for a year, who I acted just as brash and brazen with as I do with anyone else. And here you go saying that the only reason girls in fandom come out is because they have no social skills aside from online RP. I'll ask you to meet a bunch of people who are actually like that before making such an ass of yourself again. ♥ In person, face-to-face, and then make them 'prove' their sexuality.

It's just like asking someone to prove their religion. Just because I have a Koran and a Menorah in my house doesn't prove that I'm Muslim or Jewish. I don't see why you'd need to prove yourself to be believed anyway. HERE, LET ME MAKE OUT WITH ALL MY FEMALE FRIENDS, AND THEN ALL MY MALE FRIENDS, TO SHOW YOU THAT I DON'T FIND INTEREST IN EITHER SEX. HOW'S THAT SOUND?

Fuck off.

Re: 9, 22

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

I've always said it: if you think you people need experience in the bedroom to back up their sexuality, it only proves how insecure you are with your own.

LOL POOR WORDING

[metaraymek.livejournal.com]

29) I agree. I mean hey, I don't blame people for being upset when having their art stolen, but I don't feel *quite* as bad for them if it's fan art.

This is, of course, speaking as someone who draws for relatively obscure fandoms, so what the hell do I know?

Re: LOL POOR WORDING

[(Anonymous)]

I wonder if your tune will change when someone takes your art, attaches their name to it and calls it theirs, fanart or not.

[sleeves.livejournal.com]

22. brb gotta go tell my girlfriend I'm just a fandom lesbian lololol

[avianthropy.livejournal.com]

2. Isn't it? ♥

4. 4CHAN IS SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS (lol I like how this turned out to be secret #4).

(ANOTHER) 22. I'm reading this as "All you posers get out of my sexuality so I can feel like a special snowflake for not being straight!" Which, you know, tends to be the attitude of the real posers.

In some environments, something like crushing on a person you don't know face-to-face or thinking a fictional girl is hot wouldn't be enough to even allow most people to casually declare themselves gay or bi. So if the accepting nature of fandom contributes to a few "fakes" like the above examples, I'd rather deal with them than be someplace where I'm not comfortable coming out at all.

[avianthropy.livejournal.com]

... and by "girl" I mean "person of the same sex" (because in direct opposition to 4chan, I assume everyone on the internet is female by default).

[athenaltena.livejournal.com]

16. Watanuki! Word on that, since I identify with him more than I thought I would.

22. I have to agree, to a point.

And Jeez, three personal attacks in one day? What's in the water right now?
