One devilishly giggling gaijin.
Something remotely interesting going on on Gazo-Box - on the tokusatsu boards, at least. And since I'm not well-versed on the actual parameters of a troll, I guess I'll leave it up to the reader to decide.
Anyway. Unlike your usual troll who posts random gibberish, this one actually makes sense. Not to the average user, perhaps - because he writes little one-liners in English. Things like 'oh, haven't seen that before' or 'it went by a different name as a dub' or 'this was made in Australia' (although that one made me want to scream "THANK you, Captain Obvious!") . That sort of thing. Nothing really, really obstructive, and in a couple of threads only.
Now, one or two are actually entertaining the guy, but a few others are like 'Get out!' and 'Gosh you're persistent' and 'Go and die!'. In kana, of course. But one even said it directly without masking the kanji.
...Oh cheezis, man, don't get your undies in a twist. Like that actor from Bondi Beach said in 'Eigo de Shabera Night' a couple days back - Japan isn't the only country in the world. You're bound to run into an international fan at some time or another. And S.E. Asians are famous for their fannishness! The guy's from Phillipines! Taurus-san recommended Gazo-Box to me. It's useful. Not sure how this guy found the site himself, but there's no reason why he shouldn't comment. He's reaching out, right? Even if, you know, it's not Japanese.
There's also the one off chance that he MAY understand Japanese, and believe me, with East Asia's wonderful shiny reputation as SHINY as it is, you don't want to tick off a man on the street. Seriously. I mean, he's a fan like you and me and every bleeding user. IMO he's far less irritating than anything I ever was at the moment. You don't want another cynic on your hands. Believe me on this.
There are wonderful people like F&S, Kodama and Homura-san tachi...and on the other side, you have the close-assed frogs under coconut shells. Gabuh. Hello. Phillipines is NOT Thailand, which is prolly the only country you have a legit reason to dislike at the moment. But anyway, what do you think, readers? Troll or no troll?
Secretly, I'm rooting for the guy. S.E. Asians have to stick together - and his English seems OK. ;) SO nice to see them all flummoxed by the enthusiastic gaijin. ENTHUSIASTIC GAIJINS ROCK! X3
Couplets have been popping up in my brain the past couple of days. Brain must be trying to tell me something.
Thursday it was Blue worm of the high seas, black lord of the water//Heed the call and come to aid the red bird's only daughter.
Friday it was Hear my name and tremble at the white wolf's bitter cry//I am Kamiza Maki:hakurou tsukai!
Today it was It is the woman's heart who throws the man's flesh to the fore//And then the rat's fangs pierce his back, and Dark Faust knows no more.
Perfect. Since I can't write fanfiction (and I'm stuck for the ending of UNPC GKJR!), my creativity is leaking out my brain as bleedin' poetry.
