Ziggy Rants 2

I haven't been feeling too good lately, so this rant may seem a little disjointed. Excuse the shittiness of this writing
So I was surfing around the wide world of the internets when I came across an interesting link on one of the forums I frequent.
Clicking on this like, I find myself on a Myspace page. Now, many of you should know right off the bat that this alone spells trouble. However, what makes this stand out is the following few paragraphs.
I'm Sephiroth's eternal love. My life is for him and no one else.
Sephiroth has given me the other half of his wing. It is I who shares that with him. My heart and soul belong to Sephiroth. Nothing can change that.
There are many people out there who try to claim him. I'm sure there are many people on here who think he belongs to them. I am not out to sound like I'm better than others, but I always seem to be able to prove anyone wrong when they try to tell me they love him more than I do. They either love a RL boyfriend more, have other characters/celebrities/etc that they also "love", etc. Keep in mind when you say you love someone, that you should only say so if you truly, deeply love them. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to the term "love" ... and although many people use that term to describe liking/fandom/crush, it always irks me. I see fangirls saying "I love Sephy" and I'm like ... no you don't, you even said it somewhere that you just think he's hot, etc. That is not love, it's fandom. What I have is love.
My love for Sephiroth is a rarity. You will not find many like me in this world. It is not a "crush", nor is it something that is in passing. My love for Sephiroth is for eternity.
Those who know me from Advent Children.net have seen how I talk about him all the time. It is because of him that I made that site in the first place. It is dedicated to him.
Sephiroth, I love you...
Hold on... Gimme a second... I think I just had a stroke...
...
Okay. The doctor said we're good. Where was I? Oh yeah.
Now, I'm no stranger to people who adore characters. Heck, the majority of the people here on Furaffinity happen to worship a certain sandwich loving blue fox. What gets me about this is that this person seriously believes that an undying love for a computer generated image on a disk is completely fine, and not, in any way, just a tad…Oh I dunno…STUPID!?
I mean for fucks sake. Considering Sephiroth was even able to step out of the screen into your open arms, when last I checked, he was a bit of an evil, sadistic son of a bitch. If you can look at a guy who burns down villages, attempts wordly destruction, and murders flower girls for the lulz and go “OMFGBISHIEILUVSHIMFOREVERANDEVERANDEVERANDEVERAND…” then you’re not only crazy, but you’re a fucking idiot!
I swear! How do the people at Squaresoft sleep at night knowing they’re creating these people.
Not only that, but I’ve read stories about how Hideo Kojima was getting death threats after it was revealed he wouldn’t be working on Metal Gear Solid 4!
Let me put this bluntly. You like a game designer? You’d like him to continue working on his wonderful series he had left behind? DON’T FUCKING THREATEN TO KILL HIM! How did you idiots manage to survive this long? Do you spend your days slamming hammers into your faces between devouring handfuls of lead paintchips? Do you see me trying to suicide bomb Naughty Dog to get them working on another Jak game?
It’s people like these that make fans of games everywhere look bad. These are the people who cause others to despise Kingdom Hearts without even playing it because they’re ripping each others hair out over whether Cloud or Squal would rather buttfuck Sora. These are the people who name their babies after JRPG characters, ensuring them a lifetime of redicule. These are the people who hear about who go around thinking they’re the reincarnation of Hojo and Jenova*
Believe it or not, video games are a form of art. It can be a little hard to remember that when you’re killing hookers in GTA, but it’s true. Many people consider games they’ve played to envoke far more emotion out of them then paintings they’ve seen or movies they’ve watched. Personally, I find the story of Final Fantasy 6 to be a beautiful tale, and I feel the quirky visuals of games like Parappa the Rapper or Toejam and Earl very interesting and nearly thought provoking. Problem is, when you obsess over this media to the point that you will put aside your life for a fictional character, or start plotting the death of a person over a program on a disk, you need to seriously reevaluate your life.
Enjoy your video games all you want. Just remember that no matter how wonderfully written the story was, or how much of a boner you pop when you see that sexy girl or guy, when you start taking the game more seriously then your life, you’ve forgotten what gaming’s about.

Yes... completely destroy what makes one game so awesome and turn it into a clone of another franchise. That's a REALLY smart suggestion...
You are so lol.
