Alright, I'll start by warning everyone this is me blowing off steam and venting, and that I'm sick and tired of being silent about it any longer.
Yes this is a rant about an Anime.
Yes this is probably a bit rather trifle.
Do I care? No.
*inhales*
ONCE AGAIN KAKAIRU FANS PISS ME OFF! And OH how they do so.... OH oh oh. Why you might wonder? Well, first off, if you do not know so, I am a KAKAGAI - yes you heard me - KAKASHI AND GAI SHIPPER. Now, being so, I'm in a small, but steadily growing circle of people who enjoy this copulation as much as I. Now, when I wish to try and find new items; be it fanart or fic, I tend to go to FF.net, DA, SA Y!G.... the general. However, I also use google. So typing in 'KakaGai doujinshi' I get a varied result from it. One result was, as many, a LJ post - talking about a KakaGai fanfic that needs to be finished. Delighted, I quickly try to see if this person has any of it posted.
Instead, what do I find out? That this person is apparently an OTP shipper of KakaIru. Now get one thing straight before you go on: I do NOT bash people for their choice in couples. I will NOT go out and harass you. I will NOT put you down for it. I will NOT be some dumbass without a brain; but I will however express that the mindset of KakaIru fans I come across have made me LOATH the KakaIru pairing.
First off, let me just get this off my chest. KAKAIRU MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE! THEIR LOVE IS NOT 'OH SO PURE' - THEY'VE TALKED AT THE MOST 5 FUCKING TIMES IN SERIES 1 (pre-shippuden) and have YET to even SPEAK to one another IN SHIPUUDEN!
When Kakashi met Iruka for the first time (Chunnin exams), Kakashi did NOT show any indication of having known Iruka previously. This tells us what? NO FUCKING PAST HISTORY.
But now you're probably going to come at me with all the artwork evidence Kishimoto-sama has penned up. Well, if you did some research on that, then you'd know that he did most of that because originally, Kakashi and Iruka were going to be the only teachers for Naruto - but instead, Kishimoto-sama decided to just make them the first two. Even then, Iruka is more of a Father figure to Naruto, while Kakashi keeps more to his teacher figure.
By now, I've probably got an audience of people who are a mix of 'Hell yeahs' and 'Fuck yous'. Once again - this is not AIMED at anyone. If someone or something pisses you off, you have every fucking right to say "THAT PISSED ME THE FUCK OFF!" without being against or negative to the actual person or said object. Secondly; I am aware not EVERY KakaIru fan has the IQ of a 4 year old. To those who know it's COMPLETE CRACK - and it is - but continue to enjoy it; then hey, by all means enjoy. The way I see it, I'll let you have all the KakaIru in the world and not touch it, in return that I get to have my KakaGai....
Which leads into a WHOLE other rant, that I particularly don't feel like going into right now. In fact, I said I'd make Ghetto Doughnuts 30 minutes ago, and I have yet to make Ghetto Doughnuts.
Point here is kiddies... KakaIru has no basis, other than this: Two Men, Both Considered Hot; Smexing; Makes Money. There you go. THAT is why KakaIru is the top pairing you see. MONEY. Because people want to see BISHOUNEN boys, and that's what KakaIru is. The basis is money, not history; not story. Kudos to the fanfic writers who can work together plots to make it even Plausible. I salute you.
Well, ok, I'm back to normal now. Just needed to get that out of my system. It was just building up and finally vented out after reading the most ridiculous acclamation. Oh, and lastly, yes - I do realize that unless Kishimoto-sama himself coins it so, that ALL Shounen-Ai relations in the Narutoverse aren't, in fact, real. But there are relationships that are real - ones overlooked, and ones that people try to make real. So yeah... I'm off. Ghetto Doughnuts to make and whatnot.
Loves to Ali, Kris, an Mita! <3
