Reborn fandom, well, a person of said fandom managed to completely gross me out by making a comment about imperialistic genocide that left me kinda speechless. So I'm still pondering if that fandom is really that bad for my health (all odds point to that), or if I'm just unlucky enough to always stumble on the worst part (me being delusional and clinging to fan-love). Yes, I'm pretty sure those people are very privileged and young and don't grasp a lot of things, but that doesn't excuse anything. So I'm just like... I'm fucking off of here.

(Boy, I know all fandoms are like that, but this was kinda record for me.)

And self-sacrificing woman on the fridge. Yeah, this series hates me. Now I know how it feels. I was hoping for that creepy Gamma to kick the bucket (I hate him), but of course this is Reborn and probably fangirls love him. I'm just hoping Viper is really a woman. And if that's the case it doesn't turn into Chickification or hiper-sexualization for her.Too much hoping, right? (I would LOVE it if Viper were a character who doesn't meet the gender binary, but chances for that being addressed are? You are reading a shonen in WSJ, woman, stop it.)

In other news: I was googling for a correct way to phrase something for this entry and the first result for that search was actually this: Fancy a Fight? In Paraguay, Dueling is Still Legal.

Uhm, what? Excuse me? Like, really. I have no idea what you are talking about, son. Why am I seeing pictures of Jedi, fencing, and white men boxing anyway?

Yeah, I don't know. All fandoms are kind of... special at times but imperialistic genocide? That's... o_o

*waves*

I stumbled onto your journal through a rather roundabout path, but I started skimming through and your posts are so interesting and thoughtful, and I hope you don't mind if I friend you?

Re: Uni/this chapter, I suppose as fans we're meant to be all weepy and Moved~ by her sacrifice, but it just gets my blood up to be shown, yet again, how female self-sacrifice is the name of the game. And it's encouraging to find someone else who responds to the text in that way.

Oh, don't worry, friend as you like!

Just when I was about to make a post lates chapter and talk about Uni/What the Sky Acrobaleno represent since Reborn pretty much stated they are mean to die young by Destiny.
