SPRING BREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAK!
In other words, my time to finally catch up on watching anime and writing SOAP stuff. And tomorrow, I'm finally seeing V for Vendetta, and my friend will hopefully bring KH2 to play at my house afterwards.
Fun Fact About Me: I'm the biggest potty mouth when I play video games. I don't usually curse often; I just get really PO'd when I'm on the verge of losing something. Luckily, I don't throw my controller across the room in frustration or anything like that. XD
I've been too busy the last few days to know the goings-on of fandom, so instead, here's a Fun, Somewhat Offensive Fact About Japan: In underground culture, the Nazi uniform is a fashion statement. Mind you, NOT because they support Nazi ideals, but because the uniform itself looks hot. (In comparison to Americans, the Japanese as a whole are much less sensitive on issues concerning Nazi Germany.)
Stateside, this fashion trend caused some controversy in multiple fandoms. The most notable one I've come across was a long discussion on a L'Arc~en~Ciel LJ community over why Hyde came on-stage during a concert dressed as a Nazi. Also, some Japanese fanartists are notorious for drawing characters in Nazi uniforms. In the DMC fandom, for example, an exceptional fanart of Nazi Vergil circulated, and caused many amusing "Vergil's a Nazi?!" threads.
EDIT: I like how the news posts now feature the news posters' actual names. :)
