Believe it or not (and you may not after reading what I have to say here), I actually AM a nice person. However, sometimes the strain of being nice and forgiving and kindly to everyone becomes too much for me to handle and spills over into a homicidal ra-- *coughs* --er, into vile, churning hatred against relatively innocuous targets. So, in the probably misguided belief that anyone actually cares about this, I'm sticking 'em here.
You may be offended by some of the material herein if you take yourself/your work too seriously. Proceed with caution.
Oh, and there IS some serious stuff lying about. Consider yourself warned.
Note: There is actually other stuff on my page besides the rants! That's right. Did you know I also write stuff and draw, sometimes, and do really silly nonsense stuff that I think is funny? Struth. Actually, the amount of time I put into these rants is, oh, about 5% of the total page. Just saying, is all.
Men Behaving Badly: A Rant About Yaoi Fanwriters On AUs and other fanwankery justifications for OOCness, rape used as an angst-mongering plot device, and other stuff that pisses me off.
Yaoi IS TOO Hentai! Because I'm getting tired of seeing squealing fangirls justifying their OOC PWP smutfics under the rubric of "yaoi isn't hentai."
The Truth About Xenogears Fans A long-overdue rant about a disturbing phenomenon which I suspect can only worsen with the release of Xenosaga.
Read the ^%@$#@ Warnings Like it says, folks. If you dislike yaoi or any other genre of fanfiction, don't read it anyway and then bitch to the author for writing something that wasn't to your tastes.
Grievous Defamation of Character I like FF9. I like Kuja. However, most of the fanfiction written about him is not fit to line a cat box with. (Warning: FF9 spoilers for discs 3 and 4.)
Why RPG Players Are Not The Master Race It's apparently one of the RPG online community's most deeply ingrained beliefs. And, like most fanatical beliefs, it is also completely false.
Intellectual Plagiarism Why I hate 90% of the fanfiction out there. Well, one of the reasons, anyway.
I Hate Anime Fans I've just signed my death warrant.
How Much Are You Paying These People An Hour, Squaresoft? A random bitch/whine about Squaresoft's rather dubious translation job on the FFA version of FF5.
Why Fed Ex Should Not Hire Surly Teenagers As Drivers: A True Story God, I hate people sometimes.
My Opinion on Dubbing You knew I had to do it eventually.
Angsty Teen Poetry If it's not Evil Incarnate, it's bloody close.
A Rant about Idiots: 1 Probably the first of many.
On Fanfiction: Wish Fulfilment, Missing the Point, and Finding the Balance The title is rather insipid, I'm afraid. Nonetheless, this did not stop it from being featured on RPGamer in the 5/7/00 update! (<--SHAMELESS SELF-CONGRATULATORY BRAGGING) Anyway... it's about fanfiction, as you may well have surmised. And why ideas that seem so good can turn out so bad.
