A Hamster Public Service Announcement – Yes, Japanese Women might feel a bit overwhelmed by 2D Females, most of them avoid the creeps who like them

Yes, everyone has probably heard about HOW JAPANESE WOMEN MIGHT FEEL INADEQUATE TO THEIR 2-DIMENSIONAL COUNTERPARTS. It’s a bit too bloody obvious since 2D females were made by males (mostly), for males. And by males, I mean the otaku.

You can’t exactly beat the likes of Kyou and Kudo, especially when they’re tailor-made to appeal to… … … whatever the heck they’re supposed to appeal. (Other than you-know-where)

But yeah, fact is, GUESS WHERE THE GROUNDBREAKING NEWS CAME FROM?

OH EMM GEE, source tracking lists SANKAKU COMPLEX [all sankaku links are nsfw, people] for the SOURCE.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX. 

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

FUCKING SANKAKU COMPLEX.

IT’S A FUCKING SANKAKU ARTICLE, PEOPLE. YOU FUCKING KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

You all had better read Matt Alt and get your facts straight.

HuffPo Article…

…Via Geekomatic

…Via Kotaku

…Via Sankaku…

from the original article at Livedoor.

Of course, that means most Japanese females are actively repulsed (if not outright hate, and would scourge Japan with high-powered weaponry and flamethrowers if given the chance) by the mere notion of guys falling in love with 2D females. Yes, they know that they might be unable to tear guys away from their computers, fake women and dakis, but they also hate that idea, and most of them actively avoid (and would beat up, again, if allowed) any guy who professes their love for 2D females.

But where was I? Oh yeah.

Stop reading Sankaku Complex, people. The porn’s not worth the yellow journalism, and for fuck’s sake, you can get porn ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET..

This is all so surreal.

At the height of youth, one does not know what lies ahead. Young and full of vim, the young man charges forth recklessly, plunging self into excitement and danger, without an iota of care in the world.

So it’s extremely surreal to note that one of us has already gone to meet his maker, so to speak.

It gets even weirder that the guy in question actually beat terminal cancer. TWICE. So yeah, while I generally would love to crack a few jokes here (for some of us, humor is how we deal with grief), it feels terribly inappropriate.

…I really can’t say too much, since I never did visit the site nor read the articles.

Man, even as I stare death in the face everyday, when someone dies, I can’t help but feel a sense of surrealness.

Defining myself

ghostlightning is a bro. A real bro among bros. (Nevermind he’s almost 10 years older than me)

He’s the cool older uncle every guy would love to have, and  it’s been a blast knowing him. Seriously.

And well, he did post about hiding your love for your hobbies in plain sight, which is a pretty cool article.

Personally, while I do get the deal with self-expression, it had never occurred to me that identifying yourself as a geek was necessary. I’m aware that there are people out there who share the same interests, but even then, I’ve never felt the urge to identify myself a geek.

I’ve never believed in identifying myself via hobbies, religion, or even ideals. I was never interested in putting labels onto myself or calling myself something else. I may be intensely passionate about a lot of things, but my BURNING MANY SPIRIT isn’t expressed with things like anime T-shirts or even oddly-colored flipflops.

I do not subscribe in the notion that you have to latch yourself to a group to feel significant or wanted. And while I do have a bunch of friends who I’d love to meet up, I do not feel the crushing urge to do so. And I’ve been through a ton of shit that made me keenly aware the need for companionship.

Identification tags and markers are dangerous and force people into narrow-minded thinking. There are people out there who call themselves Christians, Muslims, Atheists, Environmentalists and Defenders of Ideals, but instead of giving whatever they affiliate themselves with a good rep, they give it bad names with their militant actions, bad attitudes to life and rampant rabble-rousing that makes it extremely unpleasant to use said markers.

At the end of the day, I have no desire to let people know certain sides of me simply because there’s no need for them to learn about it. The real me isn’t defined by my hobbies or my political leaning or my opinion on issues; it’s defined by my attitude towards life, and how I act due to said attitudes. There’s very little need for me to reveal my geek side as it’s intensely personal and it probably creates a caricature of the real me.

My hobbies do not define me. It is my attitude towards life and my actions that reflect said attitude that defines me. This is something I sincerely believe in and it will never change how I feel about the issue.

HOW I RAISED GAME

TIM MAUGHAN, HOW I RAISED GAME?

I AM EXTREMELY CONFUSED AS TO HOW TO DO THIS.

…Fuck this, posting some pirate metal.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RAISED GAME, SO HAVE SOME PIRATE METAL.

This is the best thing you’ll ever hear.

Elitism, dickwaving and militant assholes, or why I stopped reading wah.

It has come to no one’s absolute surprise (and probably even less) that wah (owner, proprietor and one man show of Mistakes of Youth) is nothing more than a elitist with an inflated ego and a proven track record of being a lolicon through and through. He’s… … … almost on par right up there with Owen S, Darkmirage, Zac B. and Sean of Colony Drop (when you remove Sean, Colony Drop is a great place for reading about obscure stuff and general trolling done right) on the list of people I should never ever read for the sake of my emotional health.

If there’s one thing tying all these people together, it’s the same thing wah accuses some of the more vocal oldfags on the Internet of doing: Complaining about the state of affairs today. Pot, kettle black, etc. Dust, plank, eye, etc. You get what I mean. Last I checking, complaining about complaining only makes you part of the problem, not the solution. Even if you are right for the most part.

Perhaps wah himself should take some of his own medicine before prescribing it to others. I dunno, maybe, it’d actually make him understand why people complain for a bit. Or maybe not, since wah truly believes that we are all human trash and we deserve to die in a fire.

Shit man, I’m sounding like Pete Z. here. THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS IS SPREADING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You know what I think oldfags should be doing instead of just sitting around complaining about why anime has become like processed cheese? Start trying to introduce the newfags to some good ol’ fashioned shows. Stuff like Gundam, Macross, G GUNDAM, GAOGAIGAR, etc. Make them watch all of Kenshin. Probably a little bit of Slam Dunk, Fushigi Yuugi (:3c) and whatnot. Patlabor, Xabungle, VOTOMS, Kimurage Orange Road, YKK, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I dunno, but sitting down and whining/flaming everyone who actually cares/being a elitist jerk isn’t going to solve anything, and in my experience, it only makes everything seem worse after you’re done.

(I AM TOO LAZY TO LINK THE REST. GO FIND THEM ON BING OR GOOGLE OR HURRHURRHURR BAIDOO SOMETHING)

And I thought anti-Semitism had to involve JEWS.

Oh look, social commentary in mah animu blawg. Durr hurr hurr hurr.

Let’s see here.

A Democratic New Hampshire Statesman apparently made the greatest gaffe of his life by declaring Japanese animation a good reason for killing more of DEM JAPANESE. And not Japanese Porn, since that stuff is terrible to begin with. And the Republicans are having a field day because now they’re able to sling mud all over the place.

Even if we remove Toyota making cars that turn into high-speed kinetic missiles and bloody Futenna from the picture, it’s pretty obvious WHY DEM REPUBLICANS are jumping onto this like flies to honey: Obamacare. Yes, Healthcare reform and the amendments got passed in the Senate. That’s why the Republicans are attacking.

People make stupid mistakes and move on. (Yes, I do believe he apologized.)  So yeah, I’m not getting too worked up over a stupid mistake. Sure, the Japanese may now have more ammo to force the Americans out of Futenna, but really now, this isn’t about Futenna. It’s partisanship at it’s very worst. Sensitivity to Japan notwithstanding. And no, I don’t think I’m capable of even talking about the impact of Little Boy and Fat Man on Japanese culture as a whole.

Then again, in Singapore, it’s leaders get away with gaffes like this and no one’s the wiser. Or if they are angry, they bitch about it in their Internet forums and not do anything about it. One of our leaders just said it ain’t his fault the locals are lazy and needed “spurs stuck in their behinds to get them working” (paraphrased because I can’t remember all that well, also, published in local newspaper) when talking about the country’s foreign policy.

I’ll be awaiting my defamation/libel summons, if you please.

PS: And yes, if you’re going to scream ANTI-SEMITISM next time, better make sure there’s actual anti-Semitism. No, I do not advocate not condone the mocking of the Jews. Anyone who does that is a complete idiot who needs help.

THE CHEST WAR – Why dickgirls.

Personally, I don’t mind if I had a girl who is flat-chested. It’ll take a bit more creativity, but if you really love her, her lack of breast tissue is no problem.

And I do like me them breasts. And TITS.

Unfortunately, no one is going to see it that way, since people want to take sides and ream shinn in the butthole.

Also I am starting to watch Simoun, which is the main thrust of the whole argument.

Simoun shows you can have have dicks on girls just fine, so why argue over chest size?

DICKGIRLS – THE THIRD OPTION. EVERYONE WINS.

(It was either this or giant robots. Giant robots are the fourth option, mind. Fifth option is Traps.)

Blogger snaps from watching ZZ Gundam, calls it the best Gundam show ever

-Additional reporting from a crazed hobo in the street assisted by a guinea pig with a giant flamethrower

The anime blogger better known as ghostlightning, lover of mecha, currently married with a child, and all-around decent fellow has finally lost his mind.

In trying to review ZZ Gundam, he had to consume 47 painful episodes of pure terror and Bandai mass-marketing to even write a half-decent review.

No one knows when he finally snapped, but experts assume that he lost his mind at around episodes 1 and 2.

In his eventual review, he would show/write the following:

• Calling Judau Ashita the pinnacle of human evolution
• Noted bit characters that no one cared about
• Accused Haman Karn of loving Judau when everyone knows she wants Char’s penis loves Char
  
• Used a terrible 4chan meme
• Approved of lolicon and shinn87’s approach to females
• Bright Noa sexually abusing a chicken
• Mentioned Aztec Space Ninjas even though ZZ Gundam is not G Gundam

In the comments section, he would further show signs of madness, such as:

• Telling someone to go back to his Touhoes
• I wish he got Garma end.
• LIVE ON /geass
• I conquered NOTHING. I AM STILL SINGING ANIME JA NAI TO MY BABY DAUGHTER.
• ONE SHIP, FOUR MOBILE SUITS, ONE TEAM, GO GUNDAM TEAM!
• This bloody comment
• I HOPE ZZ GUNDAM BECOMES THE BEST 10 THINGS YOU EVER SEE IN YOUR LIFE

He was last seen singing to his child. No one knows what happened next.

Some rather hilarious advice for new people

BECAUSE I DIDN’T GET CALLED UP TO HELP SOME GUY AT THAT.

• Why did you start blogging?
  Originally, I did not want to blog. I am slow when it comes to hot new Internet trends (okay, maybe not Twitter, taht service is a wonderful thing). Also I was reading Jason Miao and I thought, hey, I could do this much better than him. And approximately 4 years later, I’m only getting 200 hits on a good day. Something has clearly gone wrong somewhere.
  
  
• What influenced the development of your own blogging style?
  I have a blogging style? Personality, perhaps. Even though I had wanted to parody and troll Jason Miao in the first place.
• Do you have a personal philosophy, motto, or focus for your blogging?
  I write about whatever I want whenever I want. You know what, don’t follow that. It only gets you 200 hits a day on a good day.
  
• What would you say is the most important skill for a new blogger to develop?
  Determination. Mostly bcaause you’re going to get periods when you only get 200 hits a day on a good day.
• What’s the one thing a new blogger should avoid?
  I have no idea what you mean. Probably trying not to connect with the community. That’s a really bad idea. Oh, and try not to get kicked out of Anime Nano. That’s also a really bad idea too.
• If you could give one sentence of advice to a new blogger, what would it be?
  If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.
• Char warned us about the ‘mistakes caused by youth.’ What was your biggest newbie mistake?
  Trying to parody and troll Jason Miao. Thankfully, I got better. Then again, I make all sorts of mistakes.

No wait. I fail at everything ever. Don’t follow anything you see here.

MIIIINAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

When will Yowa Shion make her appearance in Chibi Miku-san?

She’s so cute ;-;

And for those taking sides in the “Vocaloid War”…

FUCK YOU. MINAMI HAS THE RIGHT IDEA.

In insane wishland… … …

I’d love an Endouloid or a Fukuloid. Hotblooded singing on your computer, free-of-charge (or paid, I don’t care). Anikiloid is also acceptable. Or JAM PROJECT Vocaloids/UTAUloids.

SHUT UP IT IS A JAWSOME IDEA.
