I've been getting around to putting this up for a while now, but I've never seemed to have time. But anyway, I finally managed to start, so by god I'm gonna finish too.

Most of you will probably be surprised at why I really hate SM. It's not because of the monstrous pink sugar content, or because it's incredibly badly written. It's not because some of the characters have no personalities, and the ones that do are two-dimensional stereotypes at best. It's not because the enemies are boring and have no real motive (and god forbid some of them being anything other than pure evil. Is it too much to ask for just one of them to be "misguided," a la Magic Emperor or Dornkirk? And don't give me any crap about the Amazon Quartet being misguided; they were, but they weren't the Prime Evil. They weren't even the Prime Evil's henchwomen, but rather the Prime Evil's henchman's henchwomen). It's not even because Rini is the most concentrated, compact ball of annoyance ever known.

So, in short, I don't have a problem with SM because it's crap. I love crap. I watch more crap than good stuff. I'm considering reserving an entire tape for dramatic episodes of extreme crap. Thirty years down the line, I could watch that tape and say to my kids, "Now those were the good old days. They don't make crap like this anymore! No-sir! Back in my day, our crap was real crap. None of this sissy-crap you get nowadays!" I get more of a kick out of watching stuff like Power Rangers or Digimon than I do out of Gundam Wing. In fact, at this very moment I'm downloading roms for some crappy Sailor Moon game and DBZ Hyper Dimension for the express purpose of laughing at them.

NOTE: Yes, I know it's illegal. So sue me. They'll never get released over here anyway, so it's not like I'm really stealing from anyone.

So what, you may ask, is my problem? I'm getting there. Don't rush me.

I never hate anything just because it's crap. I find other reasons for hating things. After all, just because I don't like it doesn't mean that someone else won't. I hate Pokemon, not because it's a awful show (which it is), but because it sullies the name of anime and is just a way to milk as much money out of a ridiculously over-hyped series as possible. I don't hate Digimon at all. I dislike it because it's just a way to cash in on the Pokemon craze, and because every time I hear someone say something about "digital" it instantly springs to mind, but that cancels out because it's twenty times funnier than Pokemon ever was. (This is because Pokemon is a bunch of idiots doing stupid things, and it knows it, so it tries to make fun of itself and ends up just sounding idiotic. Digimon, however, is a bunch of idiots doing stupid things, but it tries to sound like it's imparting the mysteries of the Universe and fails miserably.)

As for Sailor Moon, there are two reasons I hate it. The first are the stupid damn fans who go around saying how "Sailor Moon has changed my life! It tells me how to live!" Hell, I don't even think Escaflowne should change anyone's life, and that's actually good.

The second is more important, because there are idiots who talk like that about a lot of shows, and so it's really not fair to descriminate. The big reasons is that, in the few times I've actually ventured into the SM community, I've been treated to glimpses of such huge amounts of hate that it's practically frightened me. I've never seen a fan community with so much bile running around. Manga purists hate subbies and dubbies, subbie puriests hate dubbies, and dubbies are the only ones without some huge, overwhelming axe to grind. It's pretty ridiculous that fans dedicated to a show about love, peace, and pink sugar are the biggest group of hate-spewing fans ever.

I make fun of DBZ: people laugh. I make fun of Gundam W: people laugh. I make fun of SM: I get flamed to hell.

And the weirdest part is that the dubbies, who you would think would have gotten the worst and most hacked-to-pieces message, are the only ones who seem to be following it.

So basically I hate the show because the fans are idiots.

Hey, this is America, land of wrestling. It doesn't have to make sense!
