You just put to words the exact thoughts in my head.

[whomever]

Oh, this would be the perfect opportunity for the Axel icon I've been meaning to make since ever but have never found the screencap for. xD DAMN. But thanks!

and might as well. anyone know where i can find an image of axel pointing to his head and doing his "got it memorized?" thing?

[la_spaz05]

whoa, big picture is big. sorry about that.

I-I think I love you. And that is creepy, because I don't know you.

That secret totally failed to load for me, oddly enough. I'm usually all over bullshit like that.

[whomever]

Aw, that sucks. Anyway it's all bitching over the new game. It wasn't really centric in the Mary Sue allegations, but they were made often enough to bother.

♥

EDIT: Unless it only failed to load for you the first time but is loading in this post. In which case... Uh... You can read! :'D

[shinai]

Well, I can see it now (I meant it didn't load in the f!s post), and I went and looked up the OP's comments. The stupid burns.

I'm actually rather interested in seeing how this thread turns out; I can recall a fair number of people here expressing similar opinions as the secret-maker. Which is... more than a bit hilarious, really.

ETA: i can haz gramer

Doesn't it? Doesn't it just?

Ugh, I so don't want to start a wank war. I merely think that on a moral level it's completely unjust and, yeah, a little bit sexist. Aren't we past this, girls? Why are we not yet past this?

[thesilentsenshi]

Wait... a new KH game? I am totally out of the loop. I must investigate this. 8D

[whomever]

Yup! Kingdom Hearts 359/2 Days for the Nintendo DS. It's Organization XIII-centric.

A feel a little less lonely in this dark, cold world knowing that there is at least one more like-minded soul lurking around the blighted grounds of LJ. Thank you. :D
In all seriousness though, I agree with pretty much every written word in your post. I never really saw any logic (fanbrat logic aside) behind the RAGE aimed towards #XIV, and it's always refreshing to see that there are at least a few people that actually didn't catch the "FUCK MY OTP WILL BE RUINED BY TITS!" bug that seems to have infected the majority of the fandom. But maybe I'm biased since I'll get another yuri shipping for Larxene to play around with.

[whomever]

Likewise!

UGH. When will people learn? Fanon =/= CANON. Thirteen-year-old fanmice on FF.N are not the character designers on this product. Check the credits in the back of the KHII manual if you don't believe me! Does it read like a failed Mary-Sue Litmus Test? I think not!

But maybe I'm biased since I'll get another yuri shipping for Larxene to play around with.

I hadn't even thought of that. Now I'm even more excited!

Really, it's just live and let live. Myself, I'm an omnishipper, so I'll go for the yuri and the yaoi and the het. But even if I only shipped one type of relationship, I wouldn't hate another, especially not another entire gender. That's just immature.

[larkips]

Hurr-hurr. Well I did check the manual, kids, and it turns out that this lady is correct! Ergo, Soraxrikudude92 wasn't a lead character designer after all - the KH world will tremble once the news spreads to the as of yet uneducated masses!

Fellow omnishipper that doesn't hate pairings out of spite, by the way? Gee. I'm starting to think that we came out of the same cloning vats or something here.

[whomever]

Wait. Wait. Oh, damn. Turns out we've had it wrong all along. pirncessoftehhart6969yaoi was in fact the interface art director. Fanbrats, truly, you have shown me the error of my ways. Allow me to repent by writing you all some weepy!uke!Goofy porn.

bad mental image bad mental image bad mental image

Maybe we did! What's your barcode number? Does it start with a 7, or are you a Bavarian model? I would kill to start with an 8.

But in all seriousness, omnishipping is the best. There's rarely any personal bias, and filling weird and cracky requests at kh_request is never a struggle. Plus, in my opinion, it gives you more range as a writer.

[__fantine]

I think one of the main reasons she's being called a Sue is because we've all seen the "New Fourteenth Member lolololol!11111!" fics too many times, so an actual fourteenth member causes a total knee-jerk reaction.
Frankly, I'm looking forward to her...fuck my lack of a DS. PSP. What's the new game going to be on?

[whomever]

Huh. Somehow blended this comment with the one above it and wound up replying to both in one. What I meant to write here was actually:

UGH. When will people learn? Fanon =/= CANON. Thirteen-year-old fanmice on FF.N are not the character designers on this product. Check the credits in the back of the KHII manual if you don't believe me! Does it read like a failed Mary-Sue Litmus Test? I think not!

And now it appears twice. XD Smooth. Oh well, that doesn't make it any less valid.

358/2 days (this one) will be on DS, and Birth by Sleep (with Terra, Ven and Aqua [omg another new girl wankwankwank]) will be on the PSP.

[playlifeloud67]

358/2 Days is on DS. Birth by Sleep is on PSP. :]

[shinai]

Is this really even justifiable, though? I mean -- I remember "BHK" and no one was saying "omahgahd he's gonna break da canonz!" And yet here, the mysterious character is female, and 1/3rd of the fandom goes apeshit.
