Sorry, I haven't been updating my gallery lately. I've way too busy and been spending too much time at FurAffinity. Anyway, here's my latest rant.
I've had some complaints about fandom in general, but these REALLY gets on my nerves...
"Real [insert fandom here] fans should ONLY like [insert name of popular character here]!!"
Seriously, why should everyone like a character just because he/she is popular? It's really annoying how these type of fantards try to thump you into that just like it's their religion. I also find it hard to believe that they even expected another fan to like that character just because he/she is popular. That's just like "Hey jump off a cliff! Everyone's doing it!" People have different tastes.
Even though a character is VERY popular with fans doesn't mean everyone should like him/her. Not all Inuyasha fans like Inuyasha. Not all Naruto fans like Naruto. Not all Street Fighter fans like Ryu, Ken, or Chun-Li. Got the idea?
"OMG! You suck because you like/hate [insert character here]!!"
Yes, I basically HATE it when other people treated others like crap just because they like or hate a particular character. Sometimes this kind of argument gets out of hand. Uh-oh drama!
Believe me, I've experienced something like this before.
One time, I met this guy in an import game store. Seeing that some customers were looking at my drawings, he asked if he could see them. At first, he said that they all looked good. It was not until he came across a picture of Hsien-Ko/Lei-Lei from Darkstalkers. I told him that she is my fave character to draw. Strangely enough, the guy's demeanor changed and said that I shouldn't draw her just because he hated her a lot. He even called all of my drawings crap just because I draw Hsien-Ko. God, I was mad!
Although I am not afraid to admit to hating a particular character, but do I bash other people for liking him/her? Of course not, it's ridiculous and silly!! Yes, while people have their own opinions, they shouldn't take it too seriously.

Poll for Melody Challenge 2009 Theme
One time a person left a comment on one of my Inyasha fanarts, saying something to the extent that it would have been a very nice picture, except it had Kagome in it.
Now, the really funny thing about this was that it was not Kagome at all, but Rin dressed as Kagome for Halloween. I pointed this out to the commenter, who apologized and then faved the pic.
Silly people.

But from watching how some fans go on about their favorite shows/games/whatnot, one wonders whether the UK should give in and declare Jediism a religion after all...

"How can I be lost,
If I've got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it's me I can't forgive?"
