I should have joined awhile ago...

But I wanted to have the proper icon. ^_^ I haven't had a female lj-icon in quite awhile.

Anyway, it both annoys and pisses me off when characters are bashed, particularly females and PARTICULARLY anime females (which is why I made my community heroinesofslash). I really get incensed about the anime heroines though, because I came into anime FOR the strong, ( Read more... )

sailor moon, fushigi yuugi, hellsing, ranma 1/2, spider-man, oh my goddess

Mary-Jane... wow, you're making me feel nostalgic. I was just remembering that my sister was a huge "Spider-Man" fan, and that I'd watch the cartoon series with her as a kid. Fun times, indeed. Let's not forget the one line that Mary-Jane had created when Peter first meets her:

"Congratulations, Peter. You have just hit the jackpot!" Or something like that. XD

"Face it, Tiger! You just hit the jackpot!"

Sorry, I'm nitpicky. :-D But yeah, I love that line. It's so cool. But some people actually DID cite that line as evidence that she was full of herself. Pleeeeeeeeeeease. It's not like Gwen or Felicia never said anything similar. (Maybe not quite so memorable, but...)

Ah, thank ya. My memory tends to get fuzzy when it comes to lines. XD

But some people actually DID cite that line as evidence that she was full of herself. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.

Really? Aw lord... people are strange sometimes.

It's the old double-standard. It's okay if, say, Tasuki pigs out on food, drinks too much beer, curses every other sentence, and sets people on fire. Cause, y'know, he's OMGSOHOTTTT!!1!!!1! And Gourry Gabriev and Ranma Saotome canonically have huge appetites, and no one smites THEM for it. But since Miaka's a girl, doesn't have a sword, magical firepowers, or boxing gloves, she's called a "stupid pig" and people only associate her with her love of food and Tamahome. >< SO stupid.

Ah! *^^* It's an honor to have you join my community!

msmarvel1 August 24 2003, 13:23:08 UTC

An honor? Eeeeek! But thank you, it's an honor to be here (and to have you join my community, too. ;-))

:) Welcome!

8.) Akane from Ranma 1/2 - No, no, no, no. She is NOT an abuser! If she's an abuser, Ranma is too

Don't forget Ukyo - she has a violent streak as well, and the double-standard applied by fen to Ukyo and Akane... Well, I have an Akane essay in me somewhere that was supposed to be my intro post. I'll get it out at some point.

biichan August 24 2003, 16:10:27 UTC

Oooh. Please. Akane is my heroine.

sarajayechan August 24 2003, 18:30:48 UTC

I like Ukyo a lot, but some of the Ukyo fanboys out there really piss me off (Namely a certain one which shall not be named). She is NOT a saint! She's cute and she can be really nice, but she's also known to hit people with a giant spatula.
Akane might have a bad temper, and be a little too hard on Ranma sometimes, but let's not forget that Ranma can be quite a jerk. And some tend to forget that Akane's a teenager, and teenagers are bound to have self-esteem issues. It's like they FORGET how it was to be insecure and think the world was out to get them. :P

dropsofgleam August 25 2003, 05:15:20 UTC

Don't forget that Akane has been raised as the "MAN" of the Tendo house, heiress of the Dojo and protector of her family. All of a sudden, Ranma arrives and "steals" HER place. She just can't let him get so easily what she had to fight for all of those years. And she lost it in the hands of a guy who can be a pain in the ass several times, EVEN without all of her fiancées around him.

No wonder she's so bitter about the subject... Poor Akane.

And if you're talking about M*** R***, you're right. So frigging right!

charabok August 25 2003, 06:35:01 UTC

Yay for the Akane-love! I love what I've seen of Ayeka so far, too.

I haven't seen much Shampoo-bashing. The girl is evil - more so in the comics than the anime - but she's evil in such a fun, cute way.

very_verydanger August 25 2003, 18:13:54 UTC

Evil... or obsessed? According to her law, she's married to a rather unfaithful guy, so... yeah. ^^ And she's cute, too. Or maybe I'm biased... >D

I can't say that I like Akane that much (because that would be a DAMN DIRTY LIE), but I have respect for her and her fans. Unlike the Shampoo-haters.... >.> People always make her out as a slut who wants nothing more than to pimp herself out to Ranma. I swear, it's because of the way she talks, too... >

kannaophelia August 27 2003, 05:24:11 UTC

According to her law, she's married to a rather unfaithful guy

Well, no. Not at all.

It's made perfectly clear that Amazon law allows for polygamy if men defeat more than one woman in battle, so Ranma having multiple fiancees is not actually unfaithfulness according to Shampoo's own culture. Shampoo perceives Akane as an obstacle because she realises that Ranma is not polygamous, and that Akane is the only fiancee Ranma ever seriously acknowledges in a way he would never acknowledge Shampoo - not because he's engaged to Akane in the first place.

Kind of a crucial difference...
