If I were a weapon, you'd say I'd be a gun

I have seen cases in which gay men in real life are marginalized by yaoi fans: if I had a nickel for every time a middle-aged, portly gay couple who have beards and body hair have been chased down by a crazy fangirl with a copy of Gravitation in her hand, screaming “FAGGOTS!” at them, I would be a very rich man.

I've seen this too. A girl blatantly cooing over "the hawt yaoi!!1!" and going "EW if ur gay or dyke dun friend my journal!1!11" in the same breath. My head exploded; how could you like yaoi and at the same time despise real-life homosexuals? Oh wait, this is marketing. Naturally all the men are bishounen and fall into one or more stereotypes. If it's not their icicle seme or sparkly uke whose beauty makes Apollo look rusty, it's bad, icky and gross.

I'm so tempted right now to draw art of all my favorite BL ships that involve an "ugly" person in them. Except I'd always think it's an insult to call him ugly; in reality, I think he looks hot. Maybe it's because *GASP* character appeals to me more and I don't see appearances as a detriment but another way of writing and looking into a character's psyche? Can't do that with fangirls, I guess. They're so bubble-minded and ignorant they don't have the capacity to think.

Dear Squeenix,

ENOUGH FINAL FANTASY VII AND KINGDOM HEARTS GAMES ALREADY.

Seriously. I can only take so much. It's one thing to see the same goddamn Naminé icon over and over again on flists and people debating the same old topics since FF7 first came out on PSX, but... geez. I can understand Advent Children. I get Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix. But geez... enough is enough. Yeah, a 14th Organization member. There goes all continuity whatsoever. It's just... let the games end. It's just milking the life out of these games and beating them like an aging horse (not before applying plastic surgery to remove the wrinkles though. Don't forget adding synthetic bones!). Are they catering to frothing fans, money, both or what? If you ask me, these multiple continuations and sequels are just spiraling FF7 and KH with the fate of Land Before Time.

Maybe I'm jaded by the past couple years where I go to the theater and see nothing new: it's SHREK THE THIRD, OCEANS THIRTEEN, POTC3: AT WORLDS END, TITLE YOU NEVER WANT TO SEE AGAIN NUMBER 5, HALLOWEEN: THE REMAKE, etc. It's gotten routine. I'm tired of it. I want to see an entire year in which something doesn't have a number stamped at the end of its name.

Growing increasingly disappointed in you (and your bland Sora clones that pop up all the time lately),
Puri

P.S. If you really want to make me happy, you never used Geno after your split with Nintendo, didn't you? Mind filling a slot for him in Brawl? *nudgenudgehinthint* ♥
