Truth be told I hate this meme and wasn't gonna do it at first.
...but then tonight something just snapped in me and I needed to rant. Don't bother asking what it was, it was stupid and not worth talking about.
Also kindly refrain from saying you can't read my writing. If the message isn't clear enough, too bad. I'm not touching this again.

You know what? I also really, really hate it when people won't let me call anime a cartoon. They're afraid of the negative connotations the word carries because of the Western Animation Age Ghetto, meaning 'cartoons are for kids'. Well, if they continue to not call anime cartoons, it only makes the problem worse, because everyone can plainly see that, yes they are cartoons.
On that note, I really wonder why some geeks insist on the Japanese spelling of names for their cartoons and video games and completely decry any attempts to westernize anything . . . even when these names were intended to be Western in the first place. (Take, for instance, anyone from Trigun (was intended to be an English-speaking world), FLCL (Some people insist it's 'Furi Kuri' even though the creator said he made the title to 'sound western' even though it's gibberish) and a great deal of character names that were very clearly intended to be Western words or names (Seriously, why name someone Arukardo when it's SUPPOSED to be Alucard in the first place?))
Sorry for unloading like that, you kinda got me needing to rant too *giggles*
