I agreed with alot of that! but at the same time was scared by it =P I know Fanboyism can blind ya from reality. but he didnt really draw a line. He kinda made me feel any of slightest fandom is bad. I admit I Bought anime stuff Like statues to display on my desktop. But then again I also have statues of the gorillaz (from U.K.) master chief (an american based character) and other non Japanese items. But that article made me feel bad just having the little I do have =/ Which brings the question, is there a line of good and bad Fanboyism. and is fanboyism even a word?
You could say there is a fine line between the two states. A good sign of crossing that line is when you begin to demand entitlement rights and accusing the creators of not knowinf the right way a character should act, and that the relationships are all wrong.
Japan is FUCKED THE HELL UP. We will never match their bizarre perversity and willingness to exploit themselves for 5 seconds of fame
Like dis? The Japanese Are Better Then Us..............Its true

Or, my favorite example has got to be...When grown men wear Hello Kitty T-Shirts.I mean honestly people, unless you were homosexual, unusual, or creator of the series, you wouldn't wear a T-Shirt with a picture of Rainbow Brite, Barbie, or My Little Pony on it, would you? It's an unstated fact that in the world of man, you get beaten up, berated, or disrespected for wearing something so girly. So why would you wear a Hello Kitty T-Shirt, which for the most part is a girl's cartoon character, notwithstanding its place of origin? That's irrationality in action, and I know I've seen men older than 30 years of age wearing them solely because it's Japanese.I guess the big picture here is that if you want to be a fan of the anime, at least be a fan of the anime in a healthy fashion, and not one that has you doing demeaning things to yourself in an effort to look cool or be more accepted by irrationally thinking anime fans.
