Non-Yaoi fan!
You've heard of that kind of stuff...but you really
don't see the point. Gay men aren't sexy to
you, you'd rather daydream about someone who
likes girls!
What kind of Yaoi fan are YOU!? brought to you by Quizilla
This test definitely hit its mark.
I know about yaoi, i've watched shows with it in them, but yeah : i hell don't see the point (haha, inviting flames... :P ). I don't curse it to eternal damnation and refuse to watch any show with it, but gay men definitely aren't sexy to me - gay men are naturally better at turning other gay men on because they know their anatomy best - it takes a real guy to turn a girl on all the way. besides, i find a guy sexier when i know he'll be able to get it on even with me (sure, they're anime, but there's always fantasizing...) , sure, you might use yuki eiri as an example of a gay man who can get it on with a girl, but seriously - yuki's just masterful at technique. i bet he never really got fully turned on until he got it on with shuuichi. besides, sex with a gay man will only be fleeting. good maybe for a one night stand, then you realize he'd rather be sleeping with a guy than with you.
again, i can live with yaoi as long as it's explicitly mentioned in the anime. what i hate is the yaoi FANDOM. pairing up two people who aren't even proven to be gay and insisting they are. it's sick. yaoi fandom pairings can range from two guys who are best friends (uhh.. and just in case you don't know, two guys CAN be just friends) or two guys who just simply happened to catch each other's eye for a second across, say, a supermarket aisle or a moving bus.
what's worse is, people actually start confusing the reality of the series with the fandom. take for example Gundam Wing's Quatre. he may be quite feminine, and not very manly, but does that automatically mean he's gay? FYI: Quatre married two women at the end of the series. Trowa had someone else, too, by the way. and whether you like it or not, Heero and Relena ARE the official pairing.
another example is Yuyu Hakusho's Kurama. he's not gay. i even know some idiot girl who adored kurama, heard a yaoi fangirl say some bullshit about him being gay, immediately believed, and burst into tears. how naive and gullible can you be? if it's not in the series, it's not true. This is an example of the fucking best friends = gay relationship crap.
i mean, go ahead, write fanfics about your imaginary pairings if you wish, but keep your head out of the clouds. dirty thoughts and imaginary "signs of gayness" are not reality. give a little respect to the people who made the series and made the characters who they are. don't go messing around with naive people's heads - don't force your baseless opinions on reality. if they actually kissed on screen (or on page if it's manga) - fine, they're gay. if they have sex - they definitely are. if they care for each other, hang out together... that doesn't mean they're gay. it means they're human.
get a grip, people.

Nationalism and Sovereignity.
What does that truly mean?
Most likely, if you ask someone what this means, out of their mouths will come hypocrisy and self-righteousness.
Today, it was "National Language Day" at our school. We had a speaker earlier, and since he had 15-minutes worth of credentials, I was expecting much from him.
I was, unfortunately, let down.
At first he had some points: how can we win against racial discrimination of we ourselves discriminate our own people? That part was good.
But his statements trying to discourage the people's favoring of English rather than the native language just plain annoyed me.
One statement said that there were a lot of english words that were just adapted from other languages, like Coup d'etat and stuff - but did he ever bother realizing that 70% of OUR native language was adapted from Spanish? And yes, it is. Also, some of our words are just modified versions of English. So does that mean that our language shouldn't be loved either?
Another statement was that 70% of our school curriculum is taught english. and i suppose that's supposed to be wrong? If they taught chemistry in Filipino I'll fail miserably. I mean, what the heck is isotope in Filipino???
Another pathetic statement was that we were the only country with a section in the library devoted to our own language. well, duh. Americans don't need such a section, because most books are predominantly english. geez. and besides, if books were only segregated in genre and not in language, what kind of chaos would ensue? Imagine French, tagalog, italian, latin, spanish, english, chinese, japanese, greek... all smushed up in one area.
I don't know. some people may have found the whole speech so touchingly patriotic.
Hey, I like my country. I'm not trying to discredit it. But goddammit, people are such hypocrites.

Before anything else, I'd like to post this quiz:

Your Anime Personality is Goth
What type of Anime Personality do you have? (for girls)
brought to you by Quizilla
I couldn't agree with this more. Yes, I am gothic. Yes, many do consider me weird.
That's a very human trait, don't you think? Disdain and distrust of anything different. Why should anyone be treated any less fairly, any less normally, any less HUMAN just because they happen to like something few others do? Just because they happen to think differently than others do? Just because they don't conform to those "in power", they shun them.
You may think, "oh, this happens little today, since we're all so liberal and all for equality"... but is that really true? Try looking at my class for instance. There's no outward discrimination. No apparent dislike for the different. But look closely. There's an unspoken caste system.
There are the "smart" people: a typical thing. the girls in the class who have high grades in almost everything. The problem? People almost never value the educational capabilities of those not under this category. What, just because I'm not an "A" student, does that mean I'm a complete dunce?
There are the pretty girls: a.k.a. girls who THINK they're pretty. The ones who give you appraising looks every time you come to school with your ponytail in a mess and your shoes dirtied from walking across the school field to get to class.
Then there are the rich girls. The girls who seem to have a new cellphone every week. The girls who seem to take some sadistic pleasure in making other, less-fortunate people feel inferior.
There are the jocks. The girls everyone knows because they are the ones people cheer for at the games. These girls could possibly not be smart. These girls could possibly not be good-looking. But they're well-liked, anyway. Not that it's a bad thing to be a jock. It's just a certain group people in the class look up to.
There are also the politicians. The girls who have so much PR, they could almost make you believe that they can make the sun go up at six in the evening. The ones who, more often than not, try to make you like them. Not because they like you in particular, but because they can't stand the thought of someone not liking them.
There are also those called the "Neutrals" - the ones who aren't a part of a particular group, or those whose close friends are part of some of these groups. They're not particularly popular, but they're not criticized either.
Then there's me. The quiet, eccentric girl sitting in an obscure part of the room. Nobody really notices me, unless they realize that I'm doing or saying something strange again. I'm usually the afterthought when people ask for opinions (hey, I get ok grades, so I know I'm not an idiot. I was even a candidate for the english section - which was, incidentally, discontinued).
Ok, you might think I'm stereotyping. Maybe I am, a little. There are different aspects of different people, of course. But all these categories are existent. Look closely at yourself. You'll find that one of these fit you well enough.
Let me tell you a little about the "me" in class: I'm basically quiet. I don't speak too much, and I highly doubt anyone in my class knows much about me. They consider me weird because of the things I like, the way I speak (Oh, I know they make fun of my american-ish accent. So I didn't learn to speak Tagalog until I was in second grade. So sue me.). People either try to hard to be friends with me or just plain ignore me.
I remember a certain group presentation we were supposed to do one time. The whole class was split into three, so each group had 14 or so members. We were supposed to be analyzing this text written in Olde English. Now, I'm not bragging or anything, but literature has always been my forte. Numbers and equations mean close to nothing to me. I enjoy reading, and analyzing and evaluating what I read is half the fun (I know what you're thinking: nerd. Aha, discrimination). So I don't have too much trouble understanding what the text was saying. A girl in my class (who has a tendency to be an insufferable know-it-all when it comes to the english subject) was trying to analyze a certain line out loud, with not much progress. I spoke up, trying to provide some input (which any good group member should do). She completely and blatantly ignored me. I thought at first that maybe she hadn't heard me (which was close to impossible since we were standing practically next to each other), so I tried again. She turned to speak to someone behind her. Ohhhhhkaaaaaaaay. Then she snaps her fingers and "comes up" with the exact same thing I just said. What does that tell you?
Hmmm... looking back at this entry, I don't think I'm making any sense. Oh well.
