28. WORD. I submit a lot of Western Comics and random stuff. It makes me sad when I wait all afternoon for a F!S post and can't recognize/don't care about 90% of the secrets.

Submit and tell us about a little known book/movie/comic/cartoon/whatever. I mean, come on, that Legends of the Hidden Temple secret last week made my freaking day. XD

Exactly. This is why 28 is getting all this hype- because it is [b]relatable[/b]. Don't get me wrong I think people should post whatever they want- even if it is anime. (I do like anime, But I've only seen/read a couple of series.) But I am a little dissapointed on days where I can't relate to most secrets... but that is no one's fault.

I don't know why people get so defensive about secrets like this. Really, this is one of the more polite secrets I've seen on this topic. It's a lot less "LOL ANIME FAGS YOU SUCK" and a lot more "I know there are others out there like me, please subimt your secrets so I don't feel so left out."

I'LL MAKE SOME NON-ANIME SECRETS TONIGHT JUST FOR YOU, OP#28. :)

I think the main grip would be the last one, since it seems to imply that all anime fans are elitists assholes that consider Anime to be the best thing ever, since sliced bread (I personally think that sliced bread is over-rated, but whatever).

Re: 28

I still don't think it's worth the outrage. It could have been phrased better, but it could have been much, much worse. The OP "seemed to imply" whereas he or she COULD have just come out and said "I think you're all elitist assholes." I'm pretty sure that's been done before. *shrug* It's all relative.

And you know, when the anime fans ANY fan gets comically defensive over something kind of tame like this, it isn't going to raise the OP's opinion of the group as a whole. Way to reinforce stereotypes, guys.

Agreed about the sliced bread though. Give me a crusty loaf of french bread any day of the week.

yeah...the fact that no one really comments about them is the annoyingest part.

[jill-calico.livejournal.com]

You know, i think thats one reason there ARE so many anime secrets. They're garunteed comments. So while a fan of anime may not genuinely think it's the greatest fucking thing etc, it certainly seems like it when they make and submit secrets for the same series over and over and OVER.

AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. SUBMIT WHAT YOU WANT. But. All these people getting offended over this secret because it implies they don't like anything but anime when seriously, unless they post about OTHER stuff, why should anyone think any different?

At what point are you posting Death Note secrets because you WANT to post a Death Note secret and at what point are you posting Death Note secrets because you know EVERYONE ELSE posts Death Note secrets so you're sure to get a lot of wank?

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

yeah. If they like a bunch of anime things, AND non anime things, fine. BUT I hardly ever see evidence that people are posting secrets for both. They seem to ignore their... i dunno, movie secrets they may have, because 'oh, no one will get it anyway'. Try it. You might be surprised. :)
