Welcome to the Elitist Five Star Diamond Club.
So...recently, my partner has been getting a lot of heat from an anime review series that's been going on for quite some time. I'm aware of a select response videos that have popped up. Long story short, my partner's web series is based upon "anime is not what it used to be" mentality among late 20-somethings. I find it hilarious that his band of haters are like, "Why do you hate anime so much? Gurren Laggan is awesome!" when they have not seen his other web series, "History of Lupin III" and "Best Anime You've Never Seen."
I suppose one of the consequences of being an Internet review is dealing with trolls, yet trolls allow us to make a profit here and there with revenue share.
Most of the butthurt Weevils are the young fans who casually spend their time online without anything better to do.
I also find it hilarious that these people put my partner down for being "retarded" when he has been identified as gifted at a young age. He has a M. A. in Communications under his belt. Hey, Weevils...what have you achieved lately? Trolling and winning an Internet does not count. By the way, name calling does not make you any mature or prove your point to be valid.
Certainly, everyone has a right to an opinion. However, starting Internet Wars over one's opinion if Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt or Hetalia is different from your's is a waste of one's time and energy. However, we do appreciate the extra publicity and the added curiosity.
And yes, my partner is the reviewer that gets posted on /a/ every now and then, as I had to point out to Hanyaan. I don't blame mutual friends for not knowing this fact since everything gets convoluted into the 4chan void.
On a lighter note, if I were to present a That's My Troll! Award, it would go to a certain couple from San Francisco who wish to have hate sex with my partner. This couple who has a moe fetish, does not think my partner is a "valid anime fan" because he karaoke's to the "One Piece"'s 4Kids ending as an hommage to "Lucky Star"'s use of karaoke at the end of each episode. While he certainly does not swing that way, he respects your lifestyle and hopes to meet you at Fanime.
And as a defensive measure, if you make any threat to my partner and we can identify you, you do not want to mess with me because I have got people banned from conventions and assisted others in filing restraining orders. Seriously. Just Don't.
There's more to life than getting worked up about one's differing opinion on Gurren Laggan (start believing in yourself than relying on others to do so), Panty and Stocking (don't get your panties in a knot), and Hetalia (we are the world, we are the children...).
I made this post because I'd do anything a good partner would do. If you are a fan of my partner's work, support him.
