Wow! What A Hateful Online Community!

How's it going my gumdrops? OMG! 2 weeks ago, I joined Adult Swim's forum. 

By no means am I stranger to belonging to a forum. Not that I was expecting a welcoming committee, but the posters on that forum are fucking ridiculous. 

Posters of that ilk validate my reasons for NOT  uploading a forum (by using an app) to It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns. Adult Swim's posters are just as rude and obnoxious as rude YouTube posters. 

The posters nitpick the shit out of the most trivial bullshit, are EXTREMELY hateful, and judgmental of people they just meet.

Some Adult Swim posters have been civil and welcoming. The rest are rude, antagonistic, accusatory (some accused me of being a troll), pompous ass posters. There is 1 poster in particular, who is a complete know-it-all. I was informed that he was banned numerous times for his douchebaggery. 

He has the tendency to be condescending and act like he is putting posters in their places YET  he does NOT  know the difference between "then" and "than" in a sentence.

It's "rather THAN." NOT  "rather then."

While that same poster is so busy trying to "challenge" other posters, he should challenge himself by studying Basic English. Here is where it gets better: He automatically assumed, that...

1) I had nothing else better to do or watch than Adult Swim.

2) I was "throwing tantrums" and happen to be "more sexist" than I claim both Cartoon Network and Adult Swim to be with my opposing views.

3) He went as far as to drag Barbie into an argument out of thin air.

Wow! Seriously? Talk about a major joke. It is a good thing I was unallowed to use Cristina Scabbia's (from Lacuna Coil) doll as my avatar. 

I always love whenever people declare a war on Barbie. Being female and liking anything with feminine qualities is blasphemous! 

The female gender is forbidden from having beauty, brains, goals, accomplishments, a career, etc. 

Considering that I am "sexist" and all, why is that same dipshit posting in my thread?

Obviously, he is someone without a life of his own, if all he can do is instigate with everyone. That trollish poster is like a terrible rash, that won't leave.

Last night, there was another instigator in my Adult Swim thread. She psychoanalyzed and nitpicked my username. What a bitch.

My username served no relevance to the discussion I was trying to have with other posters.

This included her assumptions, that I didn't think the female audience should watch Shonen and Seinen Action Anime. 

I had already addressed this issue in a previous thread, but some continue to misunderstand.

I NEVER said I had anything against the female audience watching Shonen and Seinen Action Anime. I have watched my fair share as a woman. 

However, watching Anime specifically meant for the female audience would be a nice break from always watching male-centric Anime.

Shonen and Seinen Action Anime are specifically for the male audience. I feel some Shojo and Josei Anime titles should be added to Adult Swim. 

In addition to the last topic, I mentioned that having the "Toonami" branding on Adult Swim, limits the Anime genre to only Action Animation.

Anime in Japan is NOT  limited to Shonen and Seinen Action yet in America, this is the only gender demographic Anime companies want to market, which is specifically meant for the male audience.

Basically, companies marketing Anime in America is a Boys Only Club and purposely want to pander to Incels.

Shojo and Josei Anime supposedly do poorly in American sales. I believe this is because the female audience is barely acknowledged. Also, some male Anime viewers REGARDLESS of their sexual orientation DO watch Shojo and Josei Anime.

American companies and the media with their political propaganda brainwashed American Anime fans into believing, that everything is "gender neutral." In reality, everything is NOT "gender neutral."

We are watching Japanese Entertainment, which belongs to Japan and is a part of Japan's culture.

They are labeled Shonen, Seinen, Shojo, and Josei for specific reasons. 

Shonen and Seinen Anime are specifically meant for the male audience. 

Shojo and Josei Anime are specifically meant for the female audience.

Although, it's not like heterosexual males and females as well as the GLBT community don't watch each others Anime besides Shonen and Seinen Action.

Speaking of Seinen Action Anime, 2 weeks ago, 1 male poster complained about Black Lagoon. The series is specifically meant for men, but it mostly has women as leading characters in a male Action Anime. 

I love watching Black Lagoon regardless of the characters' genders and regardless of its gender demographic.

After the Hellsing Ultimate OVA's premiere next month on Swimnami, he will most likely complain about Sir Integra and Seras Victoria. Those are 2 female characters with leading roles in Hellsing.

Hellsing Ultimate OVA Trailer (2014)

Hellsing Ultimate happens to be another Seinen Action Anime, which is Black Lagoon's replacement. The Hellsing franchise is Seinen Horror Action.

Overall, my main point is that Shonen and Seinen Action fans are not the only Anime demographics in existence.

There are Comedy, Romance, Mystery, Supernatural, Horror, etc. Anime for both genders. People with little knowledge about Anime only know what the networks expose them to on TV. They are mostly exposed to Shonen Action.

I understand why Adult Swim's forum has such a high turnover with posters in general. 

The slightest topic about anything gets derailed into an argument and veteran posters are notorious for running away new posters.

Who wants to deal with that unnecessary division and dysfunction? 

I have too many things to do in very little time. I thought it would be fun to join another entertainment forum again, but apparently I was wrong.

What Are My Overall Thoughts About The So-Called Xanga Relaunch?

This blog was originally published on Blogster July 18, 2013.

Xangans and Blogsterians, how's it going? Until now, I have not published any blogs this week and have barely been on Xanga 1.0. If anything, I have been trying to relax. After all, it would be pointless for me to publish another blog over there. We should REALLY thank The Xanga Team for causing "community" division.

If The Xanga Team sincerely cared so much about their so-called "community," why did they poorly deliver their "relaunch" message by pressuring every Xangan like they were our bill collectors? We should NOT  be required to pay to exist on Xanga 2.0. 

I cannot help reiterating that The Xanga Team used their financial dilemma to cause hysteria and fights among us. Isn't it already awful enough, that Xanga spams us with their daily Facebook notifications about changing Xanga's profile and cover pictures? I do not see exactly what The Xanga Team changed because they are THE SAME DAMN PICTURES! 

The reverse psychology may work on some people but not everybody. Not only that, but also some of us Xangans are tired of the favoritism being played on their Facebook page. 

As long as someone is cheerleading the Xanga "relaunch" like a sycophant, the owner of Xanga's Facebook fan page shares links to certain blogs.

Earlier this month, my blog about Xanga 2.0 made it in the top 5 on Xanga 1.0. It's still getting readers, responses, and recommendations. However, Xanga's Facebook fan page owner didn't share it. In fact, there were other Xangans, who made it in the top 5. They also weren't praising Xanga's "relaunch." Therefore, I know FOR A FACT, that The Xanga Team is blacklisting those of us with opposing views. 

My Xanga page and others keep getting hijacked by the self-righteous Xangans. They patronize us about paying to blog is a "privilege." They're The Xanga Team's pawns and are too blind to know it. Other Xangans that already pay are highly dissatisfied with Xanga's lousy service, and they support us free users.

Earlier, a Xangan subscriber of mine said to me over there, "Xanga's actions have poisoned the community well rather than helped it." I can't agree more. 

The incessant begging and pressuring every Xangan to pledge for Xanga 2.0 to be a mandatory pay site is the equivalent of bill collectors calling our homes 24/7. If you don't pay, something gets repossessed. In our case, since us free users never paid to blog on Xanga, our blogs are being stripped YET we still maintain our old subscribers and the ability to comment, once Xanga 2.0 uses WordPress as their personal platform! Wow! Talk about a crock of bullshit. Welp, I've stated all that I needed to, for now.

So Xangans and Blogsterians, what do you think about this Xanga 2.0 fiasco?

What's Up With Bathroom/Bedroom Selfies & Thirsty People On Social Media?

This blog was previously published on Xanga May 28, 2013.

 

 

Hey Xangan friends, readers, and subscribers! I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day. Lately, I've been blogging about Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. 

Today, I'm switching things up by addressing 3 growing epidemics. They are bathroom and bedroom models and thirsty people on social media.

If you don't know what bathroom models are, they are people from BOTH genders (mainly girls), who self-take pictures by using their camera phones and bathroom mirrors. Bedroom models love taking selfies in their underwear with "sexy" poses (usually with mix match bras and panties), while in their bedrooms and on their beds. 

Some of these "models" from both genders also take pictures in their pajamas, when they have supposedly "just woken up." Then, they will upload their pictures with a camera phone on their Facebook profiles and/other social media sites. It's mostly done to get more than 1 million "Likes." 

As wretched as these ideas are for selfies, the bathroom and bedroom models know the young and old thirsties will bumrush their walls and start cat calling them online.

When I say, "thirsty," I don't literally mean thirsty. As I explained in a previous blog, thirsty is slang for desperate. 

On my end of social media, I see QUITE a few thirsties on Facebook pages, Yahoo, etc. Every time a male or female friend of mine posts a selfie or a status update, desperate men and women bumrush to their pages like sycophants within a flash, salivating everywhere. It's not only annoying, but also disgusting.

To give you some examples, I have 1 bathroom modeling friend, who complained about having a migraine. This 1 thirsty creep of hers offered to be her "personal masseuse," when she's already in a "complicated relationship." 

Another example would be a male Facebook friend of mine. The man takes selfies and does YouTube Astrology vlogs. The single, horny, thirsty, and salivating cougars need to wipe their mouths with napkins and handkerchiefs. 

Like the sycophants that they are, they put his attention-seeking ass on such a high pedestal, that it is hilarious. It is wonderful to give and receive compliments. However, some people act like they've never had a man or woman in their entire lives. I remember what it was like to be crazy over a guy, during my youth.

Generally speaking, all these thirsty sycophants from various generations look like disgraces. They make everyone look pathetic and make it harder for the few of us to find someone of quality in real life because of their desperate behavior. 

Not only do they look pathetic, but I also feel humiliation for these bathroom and bedroom models and their thirsties. The thirsties have no idea how insecure they look to other people. 

They have that "he/she is out of my league" mentality and worship the attention whores like they're idle gods and goddesses. In addition to this RIDICULOUSNESS, these thirsties should already know, that flattery does not always get them any and everywhere. 

They are putting narcissistic attention whores on pedestals, while over inflating their egos. They purposely titillate their thirsties more with their sexuality, then laugh at them once they are gone. 

All the while, there are people like me basically acting like "flies on their walls." We roll our eyes and laugh at such stupidity. Some of you may be reading this and are probably saying, "She's only posting this because she's jealous." No, I am not. 

I take pride in knowing, that I don't need someone to validate me by telling me how "pretty" and "sexy" I am ad nauseam. 

I have spent the last decade enduring men AND women degrading and objectifying me, strategizing how they were going to bait me into having sex with them, trying to get my phone numbers, nudie pics, cyber sex, etc. I have my own baggage.

More than anything, I would much rather have people value my intelligence and respect me as a former Radio DJ/Hostess than always have thirsties salivating over my physical appearance. 

I only keep in contact with some attention whores for high school reunions, comic relief, entertainment purposes, and partly because THEY wanted me to add them. Otherwise, they are only keeping me as their personal audience and party guest. 

Not to sound conceited, but I don't really need narcissistic attention whores for actual "friendships." Being attention whores is all they care about in their lives. Don't you like that "Columbian Exchange"?

These same uneducated few only squeak by in life because they are "pretty faces" and/have "sexy bodies." They barely had to work hard for their respect or "success." Everything was handed to them based on their "beauty" and promiscuity. In some ways, I really pity them. 

They will never know, who their true friends are and who really has respect for them regarding business and relationship matters. 

Generally speaking, there will always be those jealous few, who will try smearing the "beautiful" and "sexy" people's reputations. 

That's not including stalkers, sociopaths, and serial killers trying to kill them out of spite for being rejected and/obsession.

Therefore, if any of you out there are bathroom/bedroom models and thirsties, please stop. It's NOT cute, hot, sexy, or flattering in the slightest. It's disgusting, unsanitary, desperate, and humiliating, if anything. 

Try showing some pride, wear some clothes, ask somebody to take your pictures for you, wipe up that saliva, and close your legs and mouths. If you need a better explanation, check out this YouTube video:

What's With People Who Can't Handle Constructive Criticism?

This blog was originally published on Xanga January 21, 2013.

 

There are different types of criticisms, that exists. Constructive criticism is only 1 example. As I already mentioned in my latest Pulse, I am bringing up the topic of people, who can't handle constructive criticism.

Constructive criticism is not about trying to insult something or someone. It is about giving both positive and negative feedback.. Negative feedback regarding constructive criticism is about spending time correcting errors.

In a way, this can somewhat apply to the increasing amount of Facebook narcissism. Most narcissists, who currently use that site are entitled, spoiled brats. They expect everybody to constantly agree with them like good Yes Men and Women (also known as SYCOPHANTS), by constantly clicking the "Like" button and praising them ad nauseam. Being a sycophant can actually do more damage than good sometimes. 

Whenever someone interacts with somebody, who disagrees and dislikes with what he/she said or did, he/she starts throwing a tantrums like a toddler in his/her terrible 2's.

Whenever I took an Art and Creative Writing Classes in both high school and college, "workshopping" was ALWAYS a requirement; Each student had to critique by giving positive and negative feedback about another classmate's work.

If we disliked someone's poem or story, we had to explain our reason(s) for WHY we disliked it without insulting that classmate and his/her work; We had to detail what needed to be inserted, revised, removed, or expanded without insulting the person and his/her work. The same format most definitely applied to Art projects being critiqued. 

Sure, there were some very rude people (especially rude classmates), but we encounter rude people everyday in society. That's just a part of life.

People, who can't handle constructive criticism typically become extremely defensive and start attacking other people like Cujo. You know the rabid dog from Stephen King's Horror novel and film?

Whenever we encounter those types of people, they usually have anger management issues, a major inferiority complex, and they are viewed as being unapproachable.

Based on my personal experiences with some people, they are usually defensive because they're used to most people destroying their confidence. Therefore, they go into Cujo Mode, as a defense mechanism. Otherwise, there are those entitled divos and divas.

Those of that ilk with hypersensitivity must realize, that in the real world, they are not always going to get their way. Therefore, they should not expect for everyone to tiptoe around them.

How will they learn anything, if they expect everyone to constantly act like tiptoeing sycophants by praising them every nano second?

If people can't handle constructive criticism, they'll never change for the better. Not only that, but these types of people will also repel other people from them. They are normally viewed as being unapproachable.

In addition, some of the biggest nitpickers cannot handle constructive criticism. Ever hear the saying, "You can dish it out but can't take it"? Nitpickers are normally in that category.

I socially distance myself from hypersensitive people and nitpickers. I don't have the time and patience to praise Cujo by giving him a doggie treat, when he has done something wrong. I'm not an enabler. 

I will provide my personal support and opinion, however I refuse to be someone's designated enabler. This especially applies to providing constructive criticism.

Whenever I encounter butt hurt people desperately in need of coddling, I wash my hands of them. Sounds harsh but life is harsh. Everything in life is never going to be and never has been a "Kumbaya" sing-along.

Sir Thomas Moore's Utopian Communist Philosophy, "Land of Utopia" always was and still is a total crock of bullshit. That's all the more reason why I named my chapbook, "It's Not All Bunnies And Sunshine."

In the meantime, what are your thoughts?
