Stop killing An Cafe!

[pinkvegetable]

I'm so glad I found this community. My god.
A few weeks ago, I was playing hangman with my friends because we had nothing else to do, for our homeroom teacher was absent and we weren't changing classes. Anyway, my word was, "L.O.V.E. NYAPPY" because my friends told me to make it easy, and this one girl, she's a total wannabe, was like, "OH! I know

...How can you pronounce Nyappy and Takuya wrong? D:
Didn't think it possible.

[sutatikku]

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking. T_T

[pinkvegetable]

I have no idea. But it's really annoying...
That girl carries a Japanese dictionary too. But whenever my other friends ask her how to pronounce a word, she's always like, "Don't ask me, ask Dianna."

RAWR. D:

Liek zomg let's sacrifice the high schooler who can't pronounce foreign words instead of politely teaching her a word she's probably never tried to say...in a language she has no reason to use.

You go you rabid cafekko! Instill hostility and fear into the hearts of young "wannabe" fans who are probably just trying to feign sharing an interest because they might possibly like you and want. to. be. your. friend. Because, you know, you have perfect pronunciation.

That's what I was thinking!!

It's true an cafe's fandom is becoming just like the rest(slit my wrists PLEASESAVEME), god forbid if a new commer dosen't pronounce a language that's unkown to them with the perfectly, Nyappy isn't even a freaking real word. Lets go with the obvious name that all of us have come across and I'm positive that almost none of knew how to pronounce hide, doesn't mean hide rolls over in his grave when people don't say it right and this girl isn't a disgrace to cafekkos.

I think what got me pissed was the Please, jesus. Don't say it if you don't know how to pronounce it.... line because, seriously, how the fuck is anyone going to learn anything if they don't try and fail? Seriously. I've been watching subbed anime for YEARS and I listen to jrock and I write fanfic and I research things randomly, and I've taken a Japanese class and even I fuck up...even Japanese people fuck up. God, sometimes I fuck up English, too, and I'm a native speaker. Seriously. No one's perfect.

alicenine. is my favourite band. Do you know how many of my non-jrock friends are like, "Is his name Shoe??" I don't get pissy. I'm like, "No...it's pronounced Shou like as in a tv show."

I dunno. Fandom is for everyone, so...people need to lay off the noobs.

[chixchixconx]

It was the calling her a disgrace, that got me.

Like my guitar teacher tells me those little mistakes is your brain learning it, you have to get it wrong to get it right. Haha true I just realized all my mistakes in my first comment to you proving that everyone messes up. I mess up my Japanese hxc and my english is horrible even though it's my first language.

Everyone's a "noob", because you never stop learning I just learned how to say Shous name thanks to you even though I've been listening to alice nine for awhile.

No one's unworthy no one's a "bad" fan, we all enjoy it in our own way.

I'm sorry, but I guess this kind of situation is more... I don't know what the word for it, but I guess you'd understand better, about how I feel about this person if you knew her in real life

[chixchixconx]

I guess I can kind of understand your not liking her, but it seemed like you were being the all knowing elitest that ruins any ones fandom, and ruin it for the fans.

Since I don't know her, I can't say you're being mean for no reason or attacking her. So don't take this as me sticking up for her and attacking you.

I used to listen to nothing but rap, until I got closer to my sister and started going to shows with her, she got me into screamo, bro-core and all that good american undergournd junk but I found jrock on my own and it remains my thing. I can't understand you being mad at her for liking what her sister or you likes.

She doesn't have to know a bands whole discography to be a true fan, if she would have stayed listening to the same Gazette and An Cafe songs that's fine. We don't all have to know about 2359834587935873 different bands to enjoy jrock or any genre of music for that matter.

I see why you're upset at me for being angry at her for liking what her sister likes. Trust me, I have an older sister, as well, and I used to copy her all the time. After I had someone do that to me, I stopped doing it to my sister and just started liking what I truly liked. Because I was only copying her to fit in. I really didn't enjoy any of the things she liked.

I see that you do take a liking to music that your sister listens to, but I'm upset because she doesn't even like half of the things she put on her MP3 player, which is mostly made up of songs that she got from her sister.

It's that, I guess, ermm.. Like. She only acts like she likes those things because her sister likes them. She doesn't really like them at all. She did get DBSK from her sister, which is probably the only music she likes.. I don't know if I'm making sense or not. I keep saying different things in each comment, but I don't explain enough when I say something....

[chixchixconx]

I think I see what you're saying. With me I truly liked what my sister liked and went to shows and bought the CDs because I liked it not because I wanted to fit in with my sister and her stupid friends. But this girl is only trying to fit in, jrock and all that stuff maybe isn't her thing but she acts like it is so she can be liked.

It's classic teen age girl some of us go through that "please like me!" stage and some don't it can be annoying but getting mad her isn't going to make her feel any better about herself. She likes DBSK, maybe you should try to swing her more towards them show her the DBSK comm, or something. That will give her something that's hers that wont annoy you. But that's only if you're interested in helping her.

I just realized that comment had nothing to do with my rant. Nevermind that, then...
