What the hell fandom @_@

As some of you may or may not know, a person called SheikV had his YT account deleted a few days ago. He had a ton of 5D’s eps uploaded to his account as well.

Janime went absolutely apeshit over this, to the point of death threats. Good god, overreacting much? There’s much more things to get upset about, plus there’s at least five different uploaders for episodes anyway. Even PrismWeapon, the quicksubs uploader, still has her stuff.

So I told them to get off their high horses and stop making a fuss over it and promptly got flamed for it. I also got negged for apparently negging somebody else but I haven’t negged in at least two months and if I do so, I do it anon wise. And another accused me of trolling for having a valid opinion on the matter. Might have been Elly aka if you like GX (or Naruto or Gundam SEED Destiny or any anime she/he hates) you have no right to an opinion what so ever, but idk.

Also people need to stop throwing shit on 4kids for this WHEN THEY ACTUALLY SUPPORT FANSUBS NOW 8U

Teal Deer: Everything is fine just some people need to gtfo of my fandom

It's things like this that make me glad I left Janime.

Shriek has had like 5+ accounts in the past that have been killed. I haven't ever seen this big of a reaction out of the fandom. Kudos to you though. Someone needs to stand up against the mob. These people are probably just pissy preteens or early teens anyway. DX

I WANT TO WRITE THAT TOO OMFG THAT WOULD BE SO INCREDIBLE.

LIKE.

EPIC HAIR SEX. JUST WHOA.

Hm. I've already stated my opinion on this, but really, now. Overreactions much? I've never actually signed onto the Janime forums, but I've heard enough about them to not want to. Hm.

PFFFFF WRITE IT WRITE IT WRITE IT. BECAUSE I PROBABLY WON'T GET AROUND TO IT.

*snerk* That Aki expression is gold. XD

I've seen your blog post and the thread. I took a look inside the thread and left it shortly after. Serious Business. I'm sorry about the reps. :x

I've read over that particular thread.... and some things in there made me want to bash my head against the nearest solid surface. Death threats, people? Heh, this reminds me of the whole kerfuffle in the Torchwood fandom, where some nutty people posted death threats to the writers and even to the actors themselves because a popular character had been killed off. The media had a field day with this, of course -- painting the fandom as a whole in a very negative light just because a few wankers went over the line.

I admit, I'm pretty annoyed by the fact that Shriek's account got deleted (mostly since I still need to watch some early Season I episodes and I'm not at all certain if PrismWeapon has them) and my irritation isn't helped by the fact that my favorite GX AMVs got deleted again (thankfully, I managed to save one of them to my hard-drive). Way to go, NAS -- antagonize the Western fans, why don't you? -_-

I'll bet you anything it must have been Elly (for whom I have some epithets that certainly can't be used in civilized company). I doubt there's any other person in this fandom (well, maybe The_Gunder as well) who can make my blood-pressure rise straight into the stratosphere with their very presence. There was someone else as well, in one of those threads, who acted all prissy and offended at the idea of the 10th anniversary special and couldn't stand the idea of the sequels mucking up his 'precious DM'. I'm not even going to mention the blockheads who keep touting the '5Ds is the true/worthy successor of DM' line, because I'd be giving myself a migraine again. ^^;;

Man, what a fandom.....

[volkner.livejournal.com]

I'm just as peeved off about the whole "deletion" thing since I like rewatching the older episodes, but to the point of death threats? PLEASE. And here I thought fandom couldn't get any stupider.

Now you see why the 5Ds fandom scares the shit out of me.

[iceyly]

I guess, it's kind of a pity that the account is lost; it had somewhat good quality, but it's not unique and I was more upset about the loss of that quick uploader, who had episodes up an hour after airing than over this. Getting worked up over stuff like this, especially to the point of death threats, is more than overkill anyway. I admire you for standing up against this; alone looking through janime forums is enough to make me nervous.

lol wow....talk about bringing a shit storm into the fandom.

XD but ur Aki icon....lol it's a gold win!

[birdofsatellite.livejournal.com]

*Sighs* I wonder if Janime herself ever bothers to check Saar's her forum anymore. I can remember when it used to be a great forum. =(

I'm rather disappointed his account got deleted as I was still watching his subs, but I would never make death threats.

[hautalken.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they do overreact don't they? It wasn't like that back in 06, people just flip over the silliest stuff.

That's why lots of members are leaving, imo.
