~*The Rantbox*~

[Isobel Bellamy]

I cannot help but get more and more unnerved at the growing phenomena of fangirls, in particular rabid fangirls. As some may/may not know I'm writing a manga with a good friend of mine, and the comments from the people who read it are, quite frankly just plain terrifying eek We have completed one chapter and we already have two girls 'claiming' one of the characters. For the first few weeks we had normal stuff encouragement, applause....but then we got the more quirky and....rabid comments like:

Quote:

*hugs Niko and runs away with him before you can finish the manga. *rampaging fangirls follow.

Quote:

DAMMIT! I CAN'T CONROL IT ANYMORE! THAT GUY'S FREAKING HAWT!

Quote:

*steals chris's soul...puts in bottle...cackles maniacally*

I think part of it is that it's a Boy's love/yaoi manga (long story behind that) and that usually attracts the REALLY frightening ones (bouncing around conventions chanting "yaoi yaoi yaoi!!!")

It just seems strange that it's mainly girls prone to this, I don't remember seeing any guys jumping up and down saying "yuri yuri yuri!!" (maybe because when guys watch hentai/yuri they get labelled pervs - double standards I know).

But what really gets on my nerves is that because of this group any female fan of an anime/manga is automattically thought of in this way, for some reason I don't like people thinking that I worship yaoi and only read a manga if it has some guy/guy action stare sure I read it, it's fun - usually quite funny and there is no quicker way of getting some git who's annoying you away than showing him two guys kissing - but it just pisses me off when I get some idiot going on about how girls only ever read yaoi and then go on at guys for watching yuri and calling them perverts for it (when the person has no idea who I am, or what my opinions are).

It is at this point I refer back to my earlier rant on my thought of guys..... stare most of the male population here I live are idiotic bastards...maybe it's something in the water that causes the y chromosone to release stupid hormones.

But back to my rant, I personally have no qualms about hentai/yuri/yaoi and the like (ok, the tentacle porn is disturbing, esecially the rape ones) it is when people think that I'm going to be a hipocrit and hate then for watching hentai/yuri that really gets on my nerves....I read yaoi! Why would I think anything of a guy reading yuri?!

But this rant was about rabid fangirls wasn't it.

There is also a growing lunicy at conventions, some people can't even cosplay as someone without getting either modded by fangirls glomping the heck out of them or getting random people shouting at them "I can't believe you cosplayed as *insert character name* I HATE them/you" the glomping, I'm sure is fun....for about the first 10 attacks, then I bet it gets old real quick. But the attacks just on your costume is just plain stupid and idiotic

Fangirls = scary....

I have been in numerous threads, spoken to many IRL and have found the general ignorance of the essence of Samhain to be sickening. Not only have many forgotten about the seelie/unseelie duality but they are unaware of Halloween's meaning as well! Has it gone the way of christmas only instead of being commercialization and company money-grubbing it's become candy-grubbing? I mean, even those parents who drill "never take candy from strangers" into their childrens' minds gleefully send their young out into the cold to.....request candy from strangers-which, incidentally, has become a scientific process what with adults guaging which neighborhoods are infested w/ yuppies who attempt to outdo all others by giving out full-sized candybars and such by the truckloads. Pisses me off to no end-almost as much as those who either pretend to be away/asleep or blatantly refuse to answer their doors! Bastards one and all, I say, who suck feces through a straw. They deserve what befalls them. I don't advocate illegal activity but there's a reason things are done this way-it should be remembered well.

Heh, you REALLY shouldn't go to the UK for a Halloween. Ever. To most people it is thrown away as an American thing, created by the sweets companies (seriously on this). Some people have only a slight knowlage of what the original Samhain was - the pagan festival, but again it is spoiled by xtians saying that haloween has a sinister and evil undertones stare

Side note on the Seelies/Unseelies, they are actually two of the Scottish Fey courts, there a a lot more just that they have been mostly forgotten but the principles are the same - Samhian is the day that they let down ther guards of their sidhe and let the dead and fey walk about.

Don't spam a thread just cause you're too lazy to find things out. If you don't know what something is, type it in a frickin google search! It doesn't take rocket science people. If you don't want to take the time to read something, don't spam the thread! It's not hard to use the grey matter between your ears to THINK once in a while.  

[ceilisidhe]

Stop Pissing Lurichan Off!!! I'm tired of people getting on her nerves and trying her kind demeanor-is it so very difficult to stay w/in the TOS?!?!?! To use intelligence and common sense from time to time? Learn some F(%&^$G manners when addressing ANY mod-especially the respected ones of this guild! They show nigh-boundless patience when there's more at stake than realized-TOS infractions w/in a guild can have the guild itself removed from gaia as well as the accounts of captain, mods and offender (yes-it can be that bad-I've spoken to a few who have had it happen) Even anarchists can exist here w/out difficulty so get a F*^&($G clue and wise up because if this guild and lurichan's account goes.....enough said.


With that said;
s**t down, shut the F(&K up and learn something for once. Frickin' n00b.

I don't want you here, I don't need you here
Go back to the place that you came from
Because here is where you do not belong!

Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!
Get back inside that hole!


...straight fron built to offend's poem. My sentiments exactly, though regarding what I shall not say.  

[Dearest Darling`]

stressed Why does my mom have to be so ******** paranoid!? I bought myself a dress with my own money and it was ******** expencive and all she can do is complain! Sure, the skirt's a bit short. Doesn't mean she has to tell my dad I'm a ******** hooker! I'm going to wear shorts under it but she still insists that I have to wear sleaves because she doesn't wan't my shoulders to be bare! I'm a teenage girl not a nun! scream Let me live my life in peace!  

[Isobel Bellamy]

Ever gone into a shop and seen about 20 things you wanna buy but didn't have the money? *sees everyone raising their hand and general consensus of umm....duh...) and to top it off, my friend works there and she would have given me employee discouuunt!!! *cries*

Urg!! I'm collecting a series of books that is quite hard to track down and guess what? I saw one of them there! I was about to get it when I realised I HAD NO BLOODY MONEY!! Plus said friend dragged me to the anime section (which was next to the adult/porn section jeez, that's going to help anime's rep isn't it stare ) and I noticed Gungrave and Princess Minokoe!! Damn it! PLUS about five books on creative writing, a Godsmack cd, Depache Mode cd, and several Japanese books!!

I have one more thing to say. I Hate Borders stare

.............I'm pissed.




I spent so much time in an attempt to have the rantbox stickied so those who find themselves annoyed could easily see a place wherein they could vent and where does it end up?

Okay, maintaining a petition really isn't easy, and so I only update the names list once or twice a week. No one really reads the rules on the first post, and yet they still have the arrogence to post asking why their name hasn't been instantanously added to the list? WTF? I don't update imediatly after every person posts, that would be insane. What do these people think I do, sit around gaia all day waiting for them to add their name to my petition list? ~_~ Idiots.
