Okay, first thing's first: I'm going to end up using this more than I wanted to when I joined. Secondly, this journal is going to piss some people off. And I want it to. So read it, shut your goddamn traps, learn something from it, and kindly get your face out of here.

That said, it's time for a serious rant. Bad words, naughty comments, and things you general snot-nosed bitches don't want to hear are coming by the shitload. So suck it up.

I am sick of reading journals, comments, reply-comments, and foot-in-mouth opinions about "Wapanese" or "STOP DRAWING DIS SHIT BCUZ I DON'T LIEK IT." Here's a newflash, dumb-shits: Just because someone says "Kawaii" or "Sugoi" doesn't make them an anime-freak! I know most of your don't pay attention in school, and only take electives you don't have to do a damn thing in, so here's a piece of information for you: PEOPLE LEARN THINGS BY USING THEM IN EVERY-DAY LIFE. So, when someone listens to the original dub of an anime or makes a comment on YouTube or even on -- GASP -- this site, they're LEARNING. They're LEARNING how a language goes, and they're LEARNING what does and doesn't work with it. And in case you haven't noticed, most of the popular videos viewed on YouTube and most of the deviations on this site ARE UPLOADED AND MADE BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. Oh my freaking gosh, it's a catastrophe.

So when someone says those gosh-darn-filthy words you little prideful bastards don't like, they're actually talking to the uploader in a way they can understand! If you tell a Japanese YouTube-animator "Sugoi!" you're telling them that you think their video is awesome. If you tell an Italian deviant that their fairy picture is "Bellissimo," you just gave them huge praise -- you called it the most beautiful thing. So you're learning something, they learn something, and it's a win-win situation for everyone!

Here's another breaking news story: Did you ever think that the people SAYING that stuff actually want to learn MORE about the county their "overzealous fangasms" come from? Most people DON'T. "OMG, UR SUCH A N00B." Well, guess what, NOOBIE, they're NOT. More often than not, the people who type like that or draw things like Miku Hatsune or Sergeant Keroro actually have a genuine thirst for knowledge about the country those things came from! So they look into it, and start learning the language or the art style, and they'll start making their own recipes for the food for that country, and surprise-surprise, they're WAY more accomplished than you might EVER be. Very few people are bilingual anymore, you know that?

Guess why. Because they're the assholes going around on forums, art sites, YouTube, and everything else going "WEL I THINK THEY R STOOPID JUST BECAUSE THEY R JAPANESE OR SPANISH." That's why a lot of people aren't bothering to learn English! Not ONLY is it the hardest damn language to learn, they're too freaking afraid because people automatically come after them just because of their race! I wouldn't bother to learn something either if people are just going to fucking hate me anyway!

Racism isn't dead. It's more fucking plentiful than ever, and no one's stopping it this time. And people think it's fine.

No, it's not. It's hot, steaming bullshit. And you know what? You nose-in-the-air prissy bastards are EXACTLY the same way. Almost anything Japanese now is hissed at and scorned, because "it's just another fad now." No, it's not. People will learn from it, people will grow from it, and we'll have ourselves the best-mixed fucking bowl of cultural diffusion out there.

...I wonder just how many of you are actually aware that the games you play, the books you read, the food you eat, and the things you use are RARELY American. That they come from OTHER parts of the world. This country is just about the most selfish thing on this damn planet, and the more proof I see of it, the more I hate it.

If you don't like it, shut yourself under a rock and do everyone a big favor. The less we have to see of your brainless Internet shit, the better the world will be.

I support cultural diffusion with my fucking life. I studied Spanish and French, and I am TEACHING myself German and Japanese right now. I plan on learning Italian, Greek, and whatever languages I can later on in life. AND I'M STILL A TEENAGER. I watch my favorite movies and cartoons in ALL SORTS of languages, and I have FUN while doing so. I draw my favorite characters from them because I love how unique they are. I make my own characters because I want to have something that special. I have collected and sing songs in over thirteen languages, and I'm still extending that collection. It makes me so damn sick that people don't understand how much of a wonderful thing we have here, and we're just crushing it under a big spiked boot.

You wanna know something else? All this stuff I said? IT'S TRUE. Wanna know an example? My friend Alex is second-generation German. His mother is FROM Germany. When she met his dad, he didn't speak a word of German. She didn't speak a word of English. They used a DICTIONARY to communicate with one another, and they fell in love and got married. SHE'S learned English. HE'S learned German. That is the most fucking beautiful thing you will ever see, and people aren't even giving it a CHANCE to happen! It's terrible! So fucking terrible...

My old French teacher -- I'll love her forever -- told me once that the more you use something, the more you'll learn it. She said that she hates people who don't bother to learn something and the people who won't even try because they're so selfish. She always said she would be so happy if people would just learn to say "Hello," "Please," "Thank you," "You're Welcome," "My name is..." and "Good-bye," in the language of the place they're in. If you're English and visiting Germany, learn to say those things! People will respect you, you'll be able to talk about what you learned, and you might actually have a BETTER TIME there because you're not constantly trying to mime a request across!

I hate you people for being such selfish dicks. I really, really do. But, you know what? I put up with it, and I'm going to keep putting up with it, because I'm not letting this bullshit stop me from doing what I love and loving what I do and surround myself with.

So, you know what? Stop judging people, let them learn and grow, and go shove a stick of dynamite up your ass and ignite it if you won't even give it a try. Open your eyes and get out of your pretty pink little princess castle. Be a fucking human.

You know what else?

I'm proud. I'm fucking proud. And if you don't like it, get the hell away from me. Stop watching me, don't comment on my stuff, and get the hell out of my life. I don't need support from people like you, and I never will need to. So get lost.

EDIT: Oh. And guess what else, my little friends? Remember how I was saying that Americans using words like "sugoi" and "kawaii" are actually learning, even though you might not think they are? Guess what else. IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME IN JAPAN. Watch ANY original-language anime -- Kanon, Sgt. Frog, anything -- and just listen to it. You WILL -- not maybe, you WILL -- hear English phrases and English words. "Chance." "Good timing." "Idol." Last time I checked, those were English words, hmm? "Gawd, I idolize that hunky beefcake in gyyyyyym~" "Oh, hey, good timing! We were just going to the mall. Wanna come with?" "This's your chance!"

I'M NOT SPEAKING RUSSIAN HERE, PEOPLE. So before you start bitching at Americans for being "noobs" or "loozerz," try looking at it from all sides, hmm? Open those eyes, put in those expensive, tacky contacts and pin your dyed hair back and LOOK AT YOUR SCREEN. Learn something, love something, and Move. On. If you can't...

Well.

Go and commit an Internet Suicide, then. Do everyone a favor: stick that surgically reconstructed nose up your ass, smell the fungus, and move on with the knowledge that life stinks and won't change because Daddy can't buy it for you.
