You know what pisses ME off?


How so many freaking fangirls/boys turn cool, normal anime/manga characters into blubbering homosexual idiots.

It's sickening. To a limited extent, I can understand it, but have any of you ever been to fanfiction.net?

I'll use Naruto as my example, most of us know it.

The character relationships are roughly as follows:

Naruto and Sasuke are allies, rivals, and don't really like each other.

Naruto likes Sakura.

Sakura likes Sasuke.

Ino likes Sasuke.

Sasuke hates everybody.

Hinata likes Naruto.

Naruto is oblivious to Hinata's feelings.

There's a lot more, but none of it really involves the main characters.



But you know what? Freaking FANGIRLS take Naruto and Sasuke, who are cool the way thy are, and make hundreds of yaoi fan fictions about them. I try to look fora good, well-written Naruto x Hinata fic, and you know what I find?

Almost NOTHING but Yaoi fanfictions, most of which are poorly written and by nature are not Canon and OOC.



I learned to respect the Canon when I learned about te Fanfiction Universities. You do notmess with Canon. It is BAD.



But all of these fangirls think that because, say, Sasuke takes a blow for Naruto that both are gay and madly in love with each other. Or perhaps it's because they kissed when another kid SHOVED Naruto into Sasuke.


It's ridiculous. Same thing in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Yugi and the Pharaoh are friends and comrades, not freaking LOVERS.

Same for Gundam SEED. Kira and Athrun are childhood friends, not blubbering gay idiots.





It's gotten to the point of sheer absurdity. We all like Anime because we enjoy the art, the chracters, the story, the fighting, etc. I doubt anyone's going to argue that point.

But fans completely SCREW UP everything about Anime with their own twisted imaginations. It makes me ashamed to call myself a fan of anime. The fanbase was much better when it was smaller.



For example, there's this kid at my school. Let's call him John Doe. Now, John is rather short, rather overweight, and a fan of anime.
That's when it gets sad.
He calls manga 'anime books'. He does not understand that when you read something like Magic Knight Rayearth that you should read it in order or you will get confused. He writes fan fictions with bad grammer and punctuation about Urd (Of Oh My Goddess) and Harry (Of Harry Potter. Yes, THAT Harry.) He does horrible self-insertions an claims it's somebody else. He brings a manga to school and tells me 'Hah! I have a manga you haven't ever even heard of!' (Note: Actually, I did know it. It was Bannr of the Stars, Volume Two of the Seikai Trilogy)

And he calls himself an fan of anime. Fans do not do those sorts of things. stressed

Fans will talk about what they do and do not like in series. If they write Fan Fictions, they make them literate and as close to Canon as is feasibly possible (Excluding 'What If?'Fan Fictions). Fans will read manga in the order it's meant to be read.


The fanbase in America is sad. There used to be a small group of people who would be up at four thirty or so in the morning to watch DragonBall Z on Cartoon Network. Now there's noting but screaming fans, going 'Goku is so HOT' or whatever.

Honestly, doesn't it make you wonder what's wrong here? A large fanbase is NOT a good thing. Anime can be considered the best type of cartoon, because of the diveristy of art styles, great plotlines, amusing characters, originality, etc. But a bunch of raving idiots have dragged anime down into the mud.




Like in what somebody else said, people at school may be talking about something like Gundam, and sombody else will saythat they used to like Pokemon.
It's no wonder a lot of people think that we're crazy; most of us are. Anime has been turned into something that people like to laugh at.

I can't watch anime with people around anymre, because of all the remarks about it that I recieve. My own STEPFATHER makes comments about Butterfree (A Pokemon he actually knows the name of) when he ses me watching Anime. He makes bad jokes about Gundam, in annoying voices.













Sad, isn't it?

"Yugi like Tea"
"No he don't, he like Joey"
