Person above wrote a long elaborate. He still have patience to explain this. I don't so I write just:
I love when fanboys crying about the ignorance of the world in the matter of manga show their ignorance, laziness and lack of the good will when it comes to talk about other medium. Last edited by EireformContinent on Fri Feb 18, 2011 3:41 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Am I allowed to be tired of people complaining about discussions and arguments on the internet? At least a single poster saying "dubz suk" is actually an opinion rather than everybody keeping quiet because they don't want to offend anybody. I like reading and listening to other people's opinions and takes on things. I wish they were better constructed arguments, yes. But wishing for everyone to be quiet about a topic? Sounds awful to me

Has anyone else seen the Phineas and Ferb episode "Nerds of a Feather?" (Yes, I watch Phineas and Ferb) I think it sums up quite nicely the geek wars that occur, it also touches on the geek hierarchy with the *spoilers* Candace- ducky momo plot line. Actually, I think that it's because I browse anime forums that I found the episode so hilarious.

While the situation itself might be depressing to think about, it is pretty entertaining to see someone who is acting so superior with nothing to actually stand on fall flat on their face. In regards to elitism about things people are fanatical about, I think George Carlin said it best, "Have you ever noticed that their stuff is $hi# and your $hi# is stuff?" He was referring to items, but I think it applies to interests as well Censored, just in case. Here's a clip where the quote is from, enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLoge6QzcGY |

Well, to be fair, depending on your definition, one could argue that none of those are really mainstream. Of course that's where looking at what's 'mainstream' is a pretty arbitrary issue. There's not really any truly mainstream Japanese comics that aren't Shounen comics. Who cares though? That's just what's mainstream. |

Good point. I'd say Fables is fairly mainstream, but now that I think about it, Flight prides itself on not being so. I think Amulet is fairly mainstream in the kiddy comic world, though maybe Rapunzel's Revenge would have been a better choice...ah well. That's what I get for posting annoyed.[/i] |

Peach Fuzz is a mainstream American comic, and you can't say it's about superheroes. And then you look at Persepolis, and you start to realize that all mainstream American comics are about little girls. American comics are all the same.
Sarcasm is not a forgotten art. |

Persepolis is not an American comic. Not unless America annexed France while I wasn't paying attention. |

I didn't realize it was originally published in France. Didn't realize Marjane Sartrapi is a French national. Sometimes an attempt at wit can backfire. |

Depends on what you consider mainstream. Everything that doesn't sell like One Piece maybe? Anything that isn't in the bestselling anthologies? Nodame Cantabile, Drops of God, Saint Young Man, Kimi ni Todoke, Nana and many more shoujo/seinen/josei manga are widely read and have or have had nearly permanent spots in the bestseller lists. |

Come on, keep the dream alive!
They could still stand to tighten up the fight scenes a weeee bit more... and by weeee bit, I mean cut in half.
On the contrary, I direct your attention to Exhibit A: Anime News Nina #46 on 8/26/2008.
No, back to the cog-factory for re-training! |
