You think the "DEE IS ANGRY" blog is shit

I know you people are talking about me behind my back, and I've cared not for a very long time, and was planning to continue on not caring for the rest of my life.

But fine, it's been some years, let's talk about it here, so I know you'll read it.
You're one of them, Becca.
Do not remember you, sorry to inform you.

For a fair amount of time, I knew this "Dee is Angry" blog caused a handful of people grief. Or pure rage, more like it. That, while this blog was intended to be an outlet for me personally. I found myself a little too often making the same drawings/points at Deviantart, and I thought that if I would write it all down on this dead website I was sure nobody would ever go to, then I'd have some emotional rest and would stop soiling my other accounts with the same complaints. And I guess I could give people a link to an article when they'd ask me for my opinion about something.
Yet quite alot of people, I'm not sure I ever met, found this blog and are disgusted. Why? Well, the power of opinion is forever strong, but it's also because people, like people on the internet tend to do, always first create an image of you without your help, and when they're finally paying attention and you show your true self, you destroy that image and they get upset for not being what they wanted you to be. Though, I think many already disliked me for my age-old views on slash fanart, so this blog was a cake shop to them.

I want all of you to know that me disappointing you is not any of my concern, nor is it my fault. My time at Lionking Fanart was a silent one and I was a preteen girl; don't pretend to know who I was back then. My time at The3Eds was all baby-eating-jokes; how could anyone say what my true self was.
None of you knew me.

A thing I often tell people is "I don't owe you anything". It sounds like an unnecessary, mean thing to share, but it is the objective truth. None of us owe anyone anything, yet we often enough feel like we want to do good for others. Me included, believe it or not.
But I don't owe it to you to be this "cheerful, happy 2004 Mary Sue", who only exists to create visual entertainment for you, of course happens to agree with all your world views behind the scenes, and would never dare to, for example, question bisexuality.

I've definitely discussed some heavy subjects, as for enough small nonsense, and articles all people on the planet would agree with, and then of course there's my "DEE IS HAPPY" blog, but as always nobody reads or cares about that. Only the most negative titles gets shared around, because only those articles are desired for manually building up the rotten personality of this monster that is VampireMeerkat, for the anti-meerkat crew to then sit in a circle and rage about.

Fucking VampireMeerkat. How dare you hate slash fanart. It's because you hate homosexuals, obviously. And I see you complained about gay men dressing like women? Jackpot, oh, lucky day, I'll ignore the points made and just say I was right all along.

And that's always been the only reason for you. Everything I criticize is because of a morally corrupt reason. And of course it is. You hate me, so I need to be the most vile beast you can wish for. I understand that, but for shit's sake, all of you are so cheap. Your hits are cheap. If you want to talk about what's insulting, that's insulting, not this pathetic internet diary.
Not reading my explanations, just making up your own, that's the biggest blow to both your and my intelligence. I already told you what bothers me, so why are you making up unmentioned nonsense. Why are you deciding what I meant for me.

I changed my opinion concerning bisexuality a long time ago, nevertheless, I don't remember the article being that aggressive to begin with. From what I remember, I was honestly asking for clarification, and I received it from two helpful commenters. You can only dream about meeting with people like that on the internet, they are the type of people you can have honest discussions with. It only took these two to change an opinion I held for years, and they did it without calling me a bitch. They did it especially because they didn't call me a bitch. They recognized I asked a fucking question. Only a month ago or so I made a bisexual friend in real life; they've never "consciously" been part of my life before, I knew nothing, I wanted to know, why is that so hard to understand for the easily offended.

I'm sorry to disappoint the fans and the haters, but this blog needs to exist. I think it's fair to let people know what I think; see it as an "If you accept the worst of me, you're a true friend of mine"-kind of thing. This is why I never delete any of my comments either, and the old bisexuality article still exists. And behold, my crummy logic works: people who claim to have enjoyed my company at one point in time are now disappointed in my ass. Then I guess it's goodbye to you. Those who discard my opinions as "trolling" are useless to me. It's so void of respect, I would've rather had you call me an asshole in all CAPS.

Why am I not dead to you people. Why am I still a subject of your conversations with others, just stop talking about me behind my back. Move on with your life. Live in that bubble. I don't add anything to your life, obviously, and I'm not even interesting enough to gossip about, I'm not that controversial. The negative opinions I have on fanart is basic as Hell, I am not the most special poison flower that needs to be trampled, seriously, people.
The opinions outside of fanart deserve to be read and well-understood. I can't have a discussion with you if your conclusion is always going to be that I have a phobia. Stop it with that bull. I'll decide if I have a phobia, you know I'm annoyingly honest, I'll be sure to use the word myself if it were the truth.

So anyway, if any of you wants to start a discussion, don't bother to start one here. There are alot of articles at this blog, but I don't tend to visit often. Or at all. This site is just a diary to me where I only sometimes think of something to write about.
Send me a note at Deviantart or contact me on Facebook, even, but not here.

The hatred for animes being "whitewashed"

Generally speaking, I do believe that if a fictional character is established to have a certain ethnicity, the actor portraying that character should have the same one/come from the same country.
Though, let's be honest, we're not really able to see whether an actor is Chinese or Japanese, German or Swedish, so in those cases people only get pissed off when they read the actor's real name on the internet. I call that fake anger.

And then there's the interesting fact that if another race takes the role of an established white-skinned character, the audience is forced to praise it, otherwise you're an ignorant racist. I remember this when an old black lady was cast as Hermoine for a Harry Potter stage performance.
But for a while now there's this trend going on where white people are not allowed to have or do anything, and it's super cool to call them the devil. No reason. If you're born white, you're a suppresive shitlord. That'll teach you to be born white. That'll teach your parents to be white.
Some people would call that racism. Some.

But there's one special group of fictional characters I believe would do better with those "disgusting culture-stealing white people" representing them, and that's anime characters. And really, Japanese artists enabled this themselves.
When you look at manga and anime, the majority of characters, if not all of them, look like a caricature of the Western race (as it's based on the Western animation style). Them having Japanese names and living in Tokyo hardly makes them the common Japanese person, as they have giant eyes, long legs, and every eye and hair colour of the rainbow. You can definitely say that Western people possess more of those used colours naturally than the Japanese do. You can't make me believe that a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes is Japanese, just because she is named "Momoko". 

So when Scarlett Johansson was announced to be cast for the main lead for a movie adaptation of an anime series called "Ghost in the Shell", fans lost every one of their shits, and immediately attacked her in their blogs and started talking about other movies that ruined their favourite franchise, like the live action Avatar movie, as if that's relevant at all.
Avatar made the grave mistake of not using actors that looked like the original cast, and I agree that was some lazy casting, nevertheless, I always thought the Avatar boy himself to look fairly accurate, and that's because the original character also much looks like a wide-eyed, white-skinned little boy. That kid does not look Asian.
And that's the point I'm making here; Japan can keep on drawing their Western caricatures all they want, but when you make a movie and want to be "visually" accurate, then the Japanese themselves are not the first pick for the role.

Having that said, if you hate an anime movie adaptation for not using Japanese actors, then why don't you hate the anime itself? That too is just about a bunch of Western-looking people claiming to be Japanese.

Let's hate the Ghost in the Shell movie after it comes out and is actually shit. The Japanese have money, don't they. They can make their own movies and all you hipsters can go see their productions instead. But that doesn't mean that none of the other countries on the planet are allowed to take a foreign creation and make a movie about it. It's insane to think that way.
As dumb as the Avatar movie was, I don't think Shyamalan did it to insult the show or other races.

The Finebros incident

A short while ago Youtube users "Fine Brothers Entertainment" announced that they wanted to franchise their REACT series and basically start a companionship with all who wanted to use their popular format.
For people who don't know: they are talking about their video series where they set a certain (age) group of people in front of a camera and let them react to whatever video suggestion is being voted up in the comment section.

It's a very clear formula that everyone loves, and you get to learn more about the video's background in these videos, which is helpful for those who don't keep themselves busy with memes.

Long story short, the Finebros' announcement met with tremendous backlash, and it seems like I'm the only person who doesn't understand why. Alot of other react channels are negative and are calling them greedy Jews, which is very suspicious of them to do in this politically correct age, and people have made it their hobby to watch their subscriber count go down live on other websites. Also very mature.
I listened to some of these complaints that people had, and to me it's sounds like it's all based on assumptions. It was clear to me what the Finebros meant when they talked about selling "their formula", but every other react channel out there is throwing a fit because they think these guys mean their boring ass and shitty camera quality productions, and they're afraid they're getting their videos thrown off when Finebros gets their plans through the system.
But honestly, it's like these people want this to be the case, like they want to be angry about something. People these days want to complain about everything, and this feels like one of those instances.

Not once during the Finebros' announcement did I think they were talking about react videos in general. What was the rest of the world hearing? The only thing I found dubious was their plan to copyright the word "react", but I recon it was going to be in combination with the group/type of people reacting.

But now the Finebros cancelled the plans they had any right to do, sorry to break that to everyone, all to please the world and save their name.
I found the unsubscribe-to-Finebros trend to be incredibly pathetic, they did not deserve this hatred, especially not since they were willing to answer questions through mail. Questions through mail, mind you, not comments telling them to drink lava and fuck a sheep.
