The first thing I thought of with that comment was a local place that plays a lot of Mayday... Because what she really means is she wants stereotypical Chinese music, not actual Chinese music.

There's a 40+ page recap/explanation thing floating around on google doc somewhere.

Some people in the audience had GG Xrd signs for some reason. Maybe it was in reference to that?

Crowd was booing through him getting the trophy, if that's indicative of anything. What happened that made everyone ragey about him? I came in late, so did I miss something, or is it just hatred for his scarf?

I always forget how utterly married so many people are to the original anime. Ah well, I'm excited!

I know this isn't the ideal solution, but I really strongly recommend any smaller women who are having trouble finding their sizes check out Asian fashion import sites like YesStyle. Hell, it even has a couple good plus size brands (which is what I buy and why I know the site exists) too. Their return policy is pretty…

So between this and his bizarre Japanese special video for Happy (featuring Famous Japanese People), I take it that Pharrell wants to be popular in Japan?

I first became aware of this band when their fanbase threw an epic fit over a Korean group that had licensed one of the same songs (the two bought the same song rights for different regions). Oh the racism that came out of that.

It might! There's been (semi-recent) news on it too screenrant.com/josh-trank-talks-shadow-colossus-movie/

The problem is usually that good fanfic is so closely tied to the source material that it cannot simply be cut away like some growth and paraded around as a new thing.

It's actually kind of more fun, if you enjoy looking up translations and seeing how they might differ in tone (ie the French song ends the chorus with "This cold, for me it's the price of freedom" rather than the English "The cold never bothered me anyways". Or maybe I'm just a loser, who knows.

It's because they went for a similar theme rather than direct translation. The name of the song (and by extension the first line of the chorus) in French means "Liberated, Delivered" and in Japanese it's (kinda) "As I am" (the full line means "I'll show you as I truly am").

Yeah I don't think all the comments about LW1 being a woman-hating bitch who may or may not be out to steal ALL THE MEN will cause her to budge from her opinion. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's just going to reinforce it.

Once you get towards "genderqueer" and "genderfluid" type of definitions though, you sort of have to start including people who identify as cis in the conversation, because sometimes we're swept into those categories by no self-identification of our own. For example: I had a friend who repeatedly referred to me as…

There's also being "afraid" or conscious of the fact that when you are the only girl in the class, you are the metric that the professor and many other students will use to measure "how good girls at this subject". Failure doesn't just mean making yourself look like an idiot anymore, it means "ruining it for all other…

They're making an entirely new show that more closely follows the manga.

Seen this in my area as well (Southern California). Mall added some small outdoor stages for live music as well, some play areas for kids, and added more places to sit and just hang out.

kdramas or Korean Dramas. Also see: jdramas, twdramas, cdramas, etc.

I don't know if it's just in my area, but the two Kohls near me have massively expanded their plus sections (and their petites as well) lately. I've been doing a lot of my shopping there.

People blame the fans or overexposure, but then that brings us right back to quirky, dancing Tom Hiddles. Do people really think there's no such thing as overexposure or an overly obnoxious fanbase when it comes to him?
