Subject: Your Evangelion Article

For starters, I have to say that this email sat in the email box on my Powerbook for like 3 months. I have completely ignored it up until now... but where would the fun be in that?! =D

Wow, wondershit, you noticed that a good portion of my article focuses on Shinji, THE MAIN CHARACTER, who also happens to be based off the director, Anno. So, right, why would I focus on THE MAIN CHARACTER who happens to SHAPE AND FOCUS THE STORY in my attempt to, say, prove that the show, based around him, sucks? Perhaps the part of my article where I say "...the story centers around a 14 year old boy named Shinji Ikari..." might stress why I talk about Shinji?

That aside, I don't even think I focus on Shinji in any particularly large part of my article aside from synopsizing the series, which, as you may notice, seems to revolve around Shinji, as he is THE MAIN CHARACTER. Did you perchance happen to ignore the paragraph where I assault the comparison of Evangelion to actual religion? Did you miss the part where I bitch about the fanservice? Or how Anno is a hack director who peddles the easy answers to stupid otaku like yourself?

And thank you for pointing out that I was certainly not clear on the tiny trigger event that caused the Third Impact. I have "corrected" the tiny misnomer that has apparently damned my entire argument.

Forgive me for getting ONE inconsequential detail wrong in my memories of an anime I watched more than six years ago, Comic Book Guy. I will try harder to stick to my journalistic guns when writing about anime that sucks in the future.

P.S. I found this image on a Google search of your name. This picture is 100% undeniably you. You, my friend, are a stereotypical otaku (no matter how skinny you are), however much it pains me to say it. Which it doesn't.

Case in point of your otakuhood: You wrote a scathing letter defending a crappy anime series to a guy who hates people who write scathing letters that defend crappy anime series and puts said letters on his website for public ridicule. And you "demanded" I correct my "blaring error" that clearly helped my article "[fall] flat on its face" despite the knowledge I "claim to posses [sic] (or do [I]?)." I swear, it couldn't have been said better by the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, and I will confess I read your entire letter in his voice for my own entertainment.

However, it gets even better than that, folks! I FOUND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS FROM THIS "VEKOU" FELLOW AS WELL! =D Apparently he's an arrogant fucktard ALL OVER THE INTERNET!

Take the GameBunker forums, where he's either a moderator or just obnoxious and preachy. In one of my favorite threads, Vekou tells someone "Your avatar's too big. The limit is 100x100. Change it now or I will." Only to have everyone respond with things like "Why are you such a prick, Vekou?" or "This is why you were hated on [some other messageboard]." Or how about Vekou's incoherent, racist, and totally unfunny webcomic? Why do I find stuff like this without even trying? It's great!

I'm not gonna lay into you anymore, Vekou, but maybe you shouldn't fire your mouth off to anyone and everyone who writes something contrary to your completely unreasonable and utterly wrong opinions. I don't think I should tear into you too badly, though -- you're three years younger than me. (Someone born in 1987 is shooting his mouth off at me about Evangelion? Unreal.) When I was 17 I was probably really obnoxious, too. =)

I don't mean to nit-pick, but there is a gigantic, glaring error in your analysis (or, as it seemed to me, a desperate attempt to prove a great anime bad which fell flat on its face, focusing solely on why you hate Shinji so much) of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

"He rockets out and, instead of fighting them, calls the Lance of Longinus back from the moon or whatever (yeah, I didn't recap that stupid episode yet) and MERGES WITH THE EVIL EVAS TO START THE THIRD IMPACT! Way to go there, champ! Played by your father like a little bitch to the very end!"

Shinji was not the one who initiated Third Impact, and I find it completely ludicrous that you would suggest that, with the knowledge of the series that you posses (or do you?). Rei did it by taking Adam out of Gendo's hand and then merging with Lillith. Uh, remember the whole point of the TV series? Keeping the Angels away from Adam, deep inside NERV's underground fortress? Yeah. Third Impact is initiated when an Angel merges with Adam, not when a "good" Eva merges with an "evil" one. I don't know how you could have spent all that time focusing your negative energies upon picking this series apart, only to royally shoot yourself in the foot by completely misunderstanding, misinterpreting and misanalyzing the crucial point in the final hour of Evangelion's conclusion. I demand that you correct this blaring error in your article.

...HUH?

When I first got this mail, I'd hoped I could have a nice dialogue with this lunatic, so I responded:

Thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement! It's always glad to hear from people who liked my Evangelion article; your support has encouraged me to work hard to do everything I can to keep spreading the truth about Evangelion. Together, we WILL destroy the popularity of this terrible show perpetrated by a hack director and loved by a legion of those who are easily swayed by pretentious mindfucks that have no real substance. We will succeed, and Eva will be no more!

Best Wishes,

~Chiriko

Oddly enough, I haven't heard back.

Chikiro i donｴt like your stupid comments about Evangelion, because yo say something about animenewbies, well voltron or btx they are stupid series but evangelion no ok? if yes, he wouldnt make a movie "c" or have a lot of exit.

Thats my opinion, if you dont understand a lot of the words is because i dont speak english :P

Subject: F*ckin' Otaku!

Word of advice: If you actually send email to the right address, I will read it much sooner than if it is sent to a made-up address, in which case I will find your email (if you're lucky) in my semi-annual scrubbing of the blackhole. =) Otakuchiriko@catsonmars.com is not a valid email address.

My site exists as a reaction to repulsive and destructive behavior I view within the fan community, of which I am a member. While yes, we do make jokes and comments pertaining to typical smelly-otaku stereotypes, we here at Fucking Otaku recognize at the deepest level that obnoxious, socially retarded, occasionally dangerous otaku come in all shapes and sizes when giving the fan community a bad image and name worldwide.

Many of us cosplay. We frequent anime conventions. By your description (assuming your self-evaluation is honest), you are precisely the kind of fan-in-moderation we have nothing against.

Of course, you did seek to email us to defend yourself from what you perceived as a personal issue, so perhaps some of these descriptions or behaviors DO in fact apply to you. Taking it a bit seriously for someone who doesn't match the description, aren't you?

Why do you insist on making a site to bash the anime/manga fan community?

There are alot of people who call themselves 'otaku' (myself not included) who are not guys, who do not like hentai, and have top-notch personal hygeine. These same people cosplay/crossplay and go to anime conventions in their area.

Your site promotes an evil stereotype about the common anime/manga fan. I'm a fan of some anime/manga, and I cosplay, and I crossplay (I do NOT refer to myself as an otaku). Hell, I even go to a local convention. Does this make me a smelly male (I'm female) hentai/ecchi freak who doesn't know how to shave??

I don't think so.

How can you expect anyone to accept YOUR point of view without paragraph breaks, topic sentences, proper capitalization, and some substance other than a patronizing cliché about how I need to improve myself?

But seriously... my immaturity is exposed through my vulgar language? Whatever, dude. In case you haven't noticed, you're visiting FUCKING OTAKU.

THE TITLE OF THE WEBSITE HAS THE WORD FUCK BUILT RIGHT IN!

Don't go making things out like I'm Goofus and you're Gallant. Friend, this isn't the 1950s, and this isn't a serious outfit of journalism; this is the internet. We offer rant-space, humor and spin, and if you don't find it entertaining then you're free to fuck off; just don't pretend to be so fucking noble and proper when you're WRITING TO A WEBSITE.

Don't like cuss words? Then stay off a website with the word "FUCK" IN THE TITLE.

("Gallant helps mother with her chores. Goofus is a homosexual arsonist.")

Hi. I'd just like to make a suggestion regarding your website. Use decent english. Why should a visitor to your site be bombarded by such vulgarities as "fuck" and "shit" whenever he/she reads one of your anime reviews? How can you expect anyone to accept your point of view if you continue to expose your immaturity through your foul language? Remember, how you write says a great deal about you. Write your reviews in a way that encourages your readers to respect and trust your opinions. If you want to improve the world (ridding it of insane otaku), start by improving yourself first.

Once again I'm accused of being immature for being repulsed by people acting immature. Let me tell you something, bitch: on the top ten list of reasons I'm immature, F*cking Otaku isn't even a contender.

By the way, "rebuttal" is a response to an argument or point of debate. The website does not fall under the category of "a rebuttal" as no clear argument or point of debate/discussion has been presented to cause us to respond by making this website. However, the box of space I am currently typing this sentence in; THAT, my dear idiot, constitutes a rebuttal (albeit a weak one, as I admittedly have very little material to work off your original email).

I can't believe someone cared so much about a website about anime fandom and hating it that they wrote an email. Maturity does indeed grow shorter with each new moon.......toomanyelipses...

FUKU IS BORN ANEW!!! PRAISE THE FLAME!

First of all, congratulations on formatting your email properly, especially the bold text on the FUCK YOU! Excellent touch, there; I feel as if I have been adequately and uncomfortably fucked.

Clearly I don't understand the beauty of Evangelion? Dude, of course I fucking don't; were I to think up a list of complementary adjectives that described the show (and you might be surprised at how many kind things I can say about it) "beautiful" would absolutely not be on my list. What a horrifying concept of beauty you have.

Nobody reads my articles? I daresay at least most of the idiots who flame me about them actually read them (unlike you, of course... which makes it sadder that you wrote me this email). And of course, I'm a GOD to the people in the FuKu Forums. So I think you're wrong there. And you didn't like the score I gave EVANGELION?! I hope to god you never see what I gave Hanaukyo Maids.

My mother does not, in fact, rape me hard in the ass. I also fail to understand how the purchase of underwear could hypothetically give my life meaning and purpose.

I don't know which possession of mine is the only one who thinks Evangelion sucks (please learn the difference between 'your,' 'you're,' 'yore,' etc.) but I would also daresay your claim of "evangelion rocks! everybody knows it" is pushing a rather untrue conviction. As for your offer of cannibalistic matricide, I suggest you seek therapy for what are apparently some deep-seated anger issues. =) Or are you a voreophile in disguise? Fucking furry!

Furthermore, asshole, if you had read any portion of this website anywhere you would probably have learned my real name. We throw it around all the time. We pass it around like young boys in juvie. Furthermore, it's an awesome name; definitely a lot cooler than "Kookie." Hell, even my nickname is cooler than "Kookie." What are you, a fat woman from the 1950s?

Your final threat of further correspondence should I fail to change my article is an enticing and generous treat. Thank you for your offer of additional website fodder, available easily and with very little work on my part! Who needs to finish those AX Recaps or another Bottom Ten when I've got you? Thanks again!

FUCK YOU!

obviously, you don't get the beauty of evangelion. no one reads your articles you stupid person. i didn't even read your article. i just saw the rating you gave evangelion. whats the matter? does your mother rape you to hard in the ass? tell your mother to buy you some underwear, that way you have something to do with your life.

your the only one who thinks evangelion sucks, and yet in your website article, you act as if everyone feels the same way as you do! evangelion rocks my socks, man. i feel like pushing your ugly mother in the stove and feeding her to you.

evangelion rocks! everyone knows it. stupid dumb pussy sniffer!

and tell us your real fucking name. CHIRIKO? whats the matter? don't you like the ugly name your mother gave you? i think i hear your mother calling. she's asking you to suck her dick.

fall down the stairs. change your article about evangelion or else i'll keep emailing you.
