HIII I LOVE YOU AND YOUR WRITINGS! I'm kinda new to anime and manga so I was a bit confused with your post in regards to ones you've watched, read, and stop following. For fairy tail you mentioned fan service. What is that?

geek-fashionista answered:

Hello friend!!

What I mean by fan service is that there are a lot of unnecessary close-ups of women’s private areas, nudity, some guy ends up with his face shoved between a female character’s boobs, etc. Stuff like that is common in boys’ manga, and while it is annoying, I can get through a series if it’s not happening constantly.

In Fairy Tail, it happened constantly. Shots framed looking up from a woman’s rear end, bath scenes, crotch shots in the middle of fights or conversations even. During a very serious battle between strong female characters that I wanted to like and respect, they ended up ripping each other’s clothes off and fighting naked. And I thought, “Why does everyone else get to have a normal fight while these characters are being blatantly objectified?”

How was I supposed to respect the characters when the author didn’t respect them? How was I supposed to see them as important when the author paraded them as sexual objects?

And the thing about fan service is that it’s becoming more prevalent in newer anime. Lately the series I’ve watched have had the “loli” character for pedophiles, or that “not-quite-incest” relationship, and it’s so, so, so gross.

But anyway, that’s just my opinion.

I keep seeing stuff about that homophobic thing JB said a few months back and I’d like to address a few things

1) It was not a mistranslation. The only mistranslation was “I’ll beat you”, and the actual translation isn’t any better

2) Jaebum doing fanservice doesn’t mean he supports gay rights. This one really bugs me. I’m gonna go into more detail with this since some of you guys find it so fucking hard to understand
Lets take a look at Choi Siwon. Yes, I know that Siwon has nothing to do with Jaebum and I know I said I’d stop complaining about him but he’s a good example of someone who does fanservice while also being homophobic. On stage, Siwon acts incredibly touchy and intimate with the other members (can be seen here: https://youtu.be/dMiO3PlY92s), however he still manages to be homophobic off stage. He retweeted a very homophobic article (which he deleted and “apologised” for, however the apology just seemed like he was trying ti save his image to me and many other people) allegedly said “i do not wish to acknowledge homosexuals” (there has been debate over whether this is real or not) and yelled “no” at a fanboy who said that he loved him (can be seen here: https://youtu.be/BAdCU1hbrm4)

3) Straight fans of Jaebum have no right to demonize LGBT fans and tell them that they’re overreacting. You have no right to tell us that we are “fake fans” because we are upset about him being homophobic. Straight fans of Jaebum will never be affected by his homophobic comments in the same way gay fans will be. It’s not hard to understand

4) You also can’t just say “Korea is homophobic so it’s okay” since Heechul, Jonghyun and plenty of other people are Korean and manage to not be homophobic.

In Judaism, we do not say “Rest in Peace.” We say “may their memory be for a blessing” or some variation of the phrase. We don’t say rest in peace because we don’t have a fixed idea of heaven or hell nor are those concepts important to us. What is more important is the legacy we left on earth: the work we have done, the lives we have touched. Elie Wiesel’s memory will most certainly be for a blessing.

Reblogging this again. We don’t say Rest in Peace. Mourn Jewish people with respect for the Jewish faith.

Just FYI for Jewish commemorations.
