Ummmmm, Arigatomyna, maybe u should learn to read before u talk.Arigatomyna wrote:Love Hina and Chobits are the only anime you can think of to show that you've seen a lot of non-porn/non-violent anime? Love Hina is the epitome of ecchi anime, maybe not hentai, but certainly filled with more sexual innuendos than half the shonen ai anime around. As for non-violent, there are a lot of non-violent yaoi anime, and many of the anime discussed in this thread - used by yaoi fans for fanwork - are non-violent to begin with. With all the slap-stick comedy and abuse going on in Love Hina, it's a lot more violent than some shonen ai titles I could name for you. Take Card Captor Sakura for instance - hardly a violent anime considering it's namely shoujo featuring little cute kids. But that doesn't stop the shonen ai or the yaoi fans who enjoy watching it.Tidus_F_F_X wrote:Second of all, umm WTF, u ignorant retard u admit to not watching much anime and yet at the same time u say, "how is this giving anime a bad name?

My point - violence or anime type has nothing to do with it, and if you think someone has to have watched a lot of hetero-male oriented anime in order to be taken seriously, then you need to take a closer look at anime and the idea of 'fanservice' in regards to the intelligence of those sopping it up.
Who are you kidding? Maybe in the US, but not in Japan, and not in cultured areas where anime is commonplace. Yami no Matsuei is available in video stores in rural Indiana - out in the bonefied boondocks. If it's all the way out there, I can guarantee it's on the shelves in larger cities where anime shops actually exist. The fact that I can walk into a video rental and get a shonen ai or yaoi anime - here in the sticks - shows that it isn't being hidden. Maybe you aren't looking hard enough. The only reason it isn't as widespread as the het anime is just because there are more het anime, and US buyers tend to target young audiences with the kiddie adventure series like Digimon and Sailormoon (which *also* has yaoi in it, they just switched the genders for the US kiddies so they wouldn't know). If it's hidden here, it's only because of narrowminded liberals - the same people who always move to oppress those who don't conform to their standards. Nothing to brag about there. And that's largest in the US, and has nothing to do with those actually *creating* the anime itself - in Japan.AND ILL TELL U HOW THIS GIVES ANIME A BAD NAME, its people like u that make anime a weird and crazy messed up thing that is to forever be covered in dust in the back of the movie store
What have *who* done to it? The creators? If you don't like what the creator puts into his anime, don't watch it. If you mean fans who take a certain odd relationship and try to explain it using yaoi terms, then read warnings better - you can avoid fanfics and vids if you just make it a habit to look at the warnings before you click.AND it ruins existing anime (oh dear god, poor poor eva, wut hav they done to u)
No point flaming you. ^_^; I'm afraid nothing I say will make you look worse than your own post did.ALL OF THE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE AN ARGUEMENT WITHOUT CONTRADICTING THEMSELVES IN LESS THAT ONE LINE, proceed with the flaming.
And good luck with your training, but you might want to take it to another thread. ^.~
1. WERE U NOT PAYING ATTENTION! Wut did i say about words of another language, i might be able to rebut u u said if i understood most of it, u may wanna actually pay attention to wut OTHER ppl say, instead of just rambling on about ur own views, i mean, i ramble, but at least i show sum evidence that i read
2. The whloe point of mentioning the animes Love Hina, etc. (WHICH I AM OUTRAGED BY THE FACT U NEGLECTED TO MENTION Ah MyGoddess!:lol:
The purpose was to show, that THERE ARE non violent, non porn animes out there, in order to show that the point ithaqua made:
is compleatly invalid because the shows i mentioned arent violent, so u cant argue that yaoi is the only thing out there, and thats y u watch it, and not because u like seeing hot sweaty gay men get it on. and so Arigatomyna, i would like to thank u for agreeing with me and further proving my point by mentioning even more shows, man(or woman wutever u r) ur the bestithaqua wrote: Second, how is this giving anime a bad name? Because some of us don't focus on the violent aspects of anime like so many others? I don't even watch that much anime myself.
Thus i would like to give u a gift for you aid to me in this arguement
*tapes up package of hooked on phonics and puts stamps on*
u should give it 6 to 8 weeks for delivery
You know wut belongs, again dun take it personal, its just fun (looks like the training is paying off)
