And you just happened to save those pics to use later right Dargon? Razz...

...As in picturing Brokeback Mountain but with Goku and Vegita.

Actually those images have been transferred across over four hard drives, originating from my first 386, just for a moment like this! Wink Seriously, it took a half a second to find the things on the internet. You do realize I was kidding, right?

Never saw Brokeback, nor do I care too. But then again, I am of the firm belief that the only good thing tents are good for, is keeping the bugs and rain off you while you sleep. So that takes me out of the target demographic right there.

What boggles my mind is why some people would feel the need to "pair up" majority of anime characters. Aren't the stories we're given enough lol?

I haven't figured that out either. The only thing I can come up with is that it gives artists a chance to draw characters that they like while still keeping them in a somewhat original setting. In other words, something that is so non-canon that no one would ever claim it to be a rip-off. Plus there is a higher chance that some fanfiction writer will end up using your work for their sleasy story. Complete conjecture on my part. But it would explain why there always seems to be more floating around. Though for me the original stories are more than enough.

Hey, legally speaking, ANN now has to register "manslutslash.net" because of this very comic.*

(* if you know what i'm referencing, don't spoil it for the rest!!)

Did you really have to post that? Anime cry


I love how people keep saying this, yet they're making it worse by quoting it and plastering it on the thread over and over. Talk about self inflicted!

I'm a huge yaoi/BL/slash fan, but I do agree that some people take it too far. Harry/Draco has been something I just cannot get my mind around (isn't Draco a bigot and a bully? Why does he have a fan following in the first place?), but it is more common than Harry/Ron. And the squealing in public...and the murder of poor, innocent souls who just happen to not be interested in boy-on-boy romance/sexing...and the badly drawn/written porn....oh, the horrors of bad porn! xD

I can kinda understand with those younger girls who are just getting into the stuff. They're immature, it's something new and exciting, and if it's not yaoi/BL they're annoyingly obsessed with, it would be High School Musical, or My Chemical Romance, or The O.C., etc. I was even like that myself as a preteen. But the "older" ones (i.e. 15 and up) who should know better? They just piss me off! I feel like they're just trying to seem young and fit in, when they should try to educate the younger girls on what is appropriate and what is not.

Loved the comic! The shonen parody was dead on, and I do feel bad for people who come across porn of any kind accidentally.

First time reading this comic - really funny! And so true.

I was instantly reminded of Daisuke/Ken and all of the other yaoi Digimon images I have unwillingly stumbled across...made extemely creepy by the boys' huge heads on top of stick-thin 10-year-old bodies....
But I think I'm creeped out even more by that Goku/Vegeta fanart! *claws out eyes*

Having had the same experience, I can relate to Nina's plight.

Also, am I alone or does anyone else actually want to see Ultimate Mop Daisuke DX! for real?

Well there's already one shonen show where garbage can be turned into a weapon so to speak so why not one on cleaning. It'll make as much sense as any of the other shows lol.

Great comic. Too true, unfortunately.
.I know That I just find it very very annoying god you can't seem to have 2 male charaicters in an Anime anymore with out some sick fangirls wanting them bump uglies with each other (NOTE. Sorry for the late reply but I just have not been on the site in quite a while).
