tgies"PERHAPS EVEN MORE VALID" KID IS BACK and this time boy howdy am I in trouble for not liking Japanese cartoons! (S)he even swears up a cuss or two!
tgies.
You remember me? I wrote to you sevral weeks ago about anime. From the little I can see from your livejournal since you made it an elitist private livejournal your attitude still hasn't changed.
I'm going to be real with you. Anime/manga haters andPeople like you make me fuckin sick. Not only are you racist but also you're anti-art, against the liberation of Asia, and you don't even aknowledge the validity of other cultures. It's sickening that you can even claim to care about Japan when you very obviously don't want to honor Japan in anyway.
Stop posting in the Japanese comm if you're going to have such a destructive attitude. I don't believe you even know the 日本誤 language anyway if you can't even understand the culture. Feels bad being discovered for what you are, doesn't it?
Now be a good boy and fuck off. Youll do it if you really want what's best for the study of Japan and Japanese culture.
Let's just think about this a bit uh
- My "attitude" about Japanese cartoons is subject to regular assessments by a mysterious person who knows how to use anonymous remailers. Latest test results: UNSATISFACTORY.
- By not being a fan of cartoons or comic books, I am perpetuating racism and hindering the "liberation of Asia". Also, Japan's entire culture consists of cartoons now, and by not following them religiously I am writing off a whole nation.
- I am no longer allowed to post in

japanese, because when people from there accost me on AIM or whatever about joining their fansubbing group, I say "nah, I'm not really into that". - Dropping Japanese phrases for bonus credibility points! Except that "日本誤" is supposed to read "日本語" (note the not-particularly-subtle difference in radicals on the right half of the last character). Both are read "nihongo", so that sort of partly explains how this person managed to mistype it using an IME or something. Sorta. It's not easy to get that wrong, really -- you'd have to convert the last character separately from the other two and ignore the suggested choice. Anyway, the point is that "日本語" would mean "Japanese language", while "誤" means "mistake". Perfect.
- I am clearly only pretending to know Japanese, because how the hell do you learn a language without becoming dangerously obsessed with cartoons made in that language? I should feel bad, because I have just been Outed.
- I have to quit LiveJournal or the Internet or Japan or something because my unique don't-watch-a-lot-of-cartoons approach to cultural studies is fucking with everyone's chi and hindering serious work in the field of arguing about which is the best monster in Naruto or something
Aaaaaanyway. I now recognize that I have been abusing the privilege of understanding Japanese by not using it to watch a bunch of cheesy cartoons and I intend to correct this immediately
By watching Pokemon
Fuuuuuuuuck youuuu
I really don't like to harp on about this because Vod knows there are enough people on the Internet harping on about Japan but I guess I just don't see why my "It is probably a good idea to broaden one's horizons to include things which aren't cartoons" pragma is so horribly offensive
Well, that and I find all this painfully hilarious

maybe this person isn't even LOOKING cuz I bet you could add stuff and still receive anger

no subject
Date: 2007-12-09 12:01 am (UTC)I get a lot of requests to do that and I always just say "no thanks I'm not really into that"
frequently, though, they would press the matter, not being able to understand why any sane person would pass up the chance to translate cartoons for free for a bunch of ingrates, and that's when I break out the I Have Better Things To Do
and that shit's insulting because what possible thing could I want to do that's more important than anime shows? nothing, that's what

Date: 2007-12-09 12:12 am (UTC)I poke fun at like Sabator and Moogy and other people I actually know about the fact that they watch anime EVERY DAY FOREVER but all members of the general public see of it is me explaining that I don't want to talk about chinese cartoons every 14 seconds and sometimes satirizing idiots by saying "kawaii" a lot
I did once suggest in
also this other time someone made a post about pocky and i was like this isn't a pocky discussion community oh my god and then there was an anime morons vs. not anime morons flamewar until the maintainers showed up and confirmed that indeed nobody cares that you think pocky is so sugoi

Great if you're willing to amuse the hell out of people around you by acting in a camp and theatrical fashion, but don't ever expect to be taken seriously.
Trouble is, these guys want to talk like fucking cartoon characters and be taken seriously.

Date: 2007-12-09 02:10 am (UTC)That would be pretty bad, but seriously the level of bad wouldn't even compare
First off, 99.5% of anime is for kids. Sorry. Nobody with a job/above the age of 12 has the time to even watch all that shit.
Secondly, Anime Japanese is intentionally really retarded. Nobody is polite; everybody sounds really "cutesy"; everybody's speech is really affected to try and hammer home which character archetype they are; everybody uses slang which doesn't really exist; the list goes on. Talk like Sailor Moon or whoever the hell and you wind up sounding more retarded than if you picked up English from Foghorn Leghorn.
Also the problem is really not so much Pocky as it is why the hell do you have to obsess over a fucking candy anyway. Why do you put "I go crazy whenever Pocky is in the room!!!" in your LiveJournal bio. Oh my god you're a 22-year-old man. What the fuuuuuuuuuuu
"japan has other candy" more like "life has other, like, stuff"

Date: 2007-12-08 03:18 pm (UTC)Well that and the LJ-Abuse team would probably kick me out lickety fucking split.
Although to be honest my attitude towards Japan (especially the damn cartoons) is along the lines of "We have almost nothing to do with each other and regard this state of affairs as profoundly satisfactory".
