Am I missing why it says Amercia?
Probably because according to that van the official “lanaguage” is English. Whatever the hell that means.
Oh. Heheh. I thought initially they had messed up the spelling of America, but then it was like, NOPE.
Wouldn’t life be easier if we did have an official language though? Well. Not really. Cause even though we don’t have one, people still move here knowing English will be really useful to know… And sometimes they can’t learn it. Some try really hard though.
Living where I live, I know Spanish would be useful. Maybe it’s easier to contest an official language in places with higher concentrations of a different language. I bet Wisconsin has a lot let Spanish speaking residents….
It would be easier if we all spoke the same language, and the majority of the US is most likely English… But there are other languages here, and they’re not going away just yet…
This country will never have an official language. There’s no reason for one, and it wouldn’t be helpful.

Feh.

This is my letter to angry fanboys.
First, let it be known that I love most fanboys. When I go to a con, most of the guys there are respectful. They share a passion with me, and that’s awesome. We’re all on a rock floating through space with little connection to most of the people who surround us, so anything that allows us to bond is fantastic.
What I don’t love are angry fanboys (I wish there were a different word for them). I don’t love being scoffed at when I jump excitedly at finding a comic. I don’t love being told that, if I didn’t like something, it’s because it wasn’t “meant for chicks.” I don’t love the notion that I’m not a real fan because I have two X chromosomes and like to look at the Avengers cast. And I sure as hell don’t love my online interests (particularly shipping) being looked down on by the people who do this:
(Comment on a negative Rotten Tomatoes review of The Avengers.)
(Message in my inbox. Way to be an anonymous coward.)
(Comment on the the SHH boards.)
That last one’s fairly tame. It followed a (now deleted) comment that went something to the effect of this: “Tumblr is sick. I can’t even browse the Avengers tag because of all the fangirls posting porn.”
Well, you know what? I’m not sorry.
I’m not sorry my enjoyment of fandom is different from yours.
Maybe my time would be better spent bitching at reviewers and complaining that Black Widow made it to film before Ant-Man. But that’s not what I choose to do. I choose to draw. I choose to write fanfic. I choose to share podcasts and make comic book recommendations. I choose to be positive (when I’m not pissed of at people like you anyway).
I’m not sorry you sometimes stumble upon sexualized male characters.
You know why? Because of this:
(Zatanna’s new “costume”)
And this:
(Starfire)
And this:
(Heroes for Hire #13)
And, finally, this:
(Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, and TITS AND ASS!)
You get to ogle comic book characters constantly. You get to ogle movie characters constantly. And you know what? While I have a problem with the double standard in comics, that is your right. Women are sexy.
But if I want to put Iron Man and Captain America on the cover of The Notebook or pose them like Cyclops and Jean Grey, I’m going to do it. And I think I have the right to without being thought of as some sort of freak.
(Shameless self-promotion.)
How is the way I enjoy my hobby less healthy than the way you enjoy yours? How am I the one who’s inappropriate? I think it’s because I sexualize male characters instead of female ones.
I’m not sorry that makes you uncomfortable.
(“Leave the Avengers aloooonnneeeee!”)
(Wasp would never say this.)
I’m not sorry you’re a homophobe.
Actually, I kind of am. Exploring alternate sexual orientations isn’t “defamation of character.” It’s 2012, for crying out loud. I’m not a lesbian (or curious for that matter) but I can appreciate the Spider-Woman/Ms.Marvel pairing and the occasional Pepper/Natasha fic. The world of internet fandom has a lot to offer you if you let it.
I’m not sorry for shipping.
Shipping is glorious. I ship because it’s nice to think that these epic heroes have equally epic romances. Some of the fanfic out there is better written than a lot of comic books. Some of the fanart is better than real comic book art (looking at you, Rob Liefeld). Some of the things I ship are canon (Spider-Man/MJ). Others aren’t.
(Not canon.)
There’s a misconception that fangirls are only interested in male/male pairings. Some of them are, and who cares? That’s their right. But the assumption just isn’t true. There’s a reason Natasha/Clint is popular among movie fans. There’s a reason Tony/Pepper is popular. Those characters have boatloads of chemistry.
Then again, so do Loki/Thor, Tony/Bruce, and Tony/Steve. Don’t want ladies to overwhelmingly ship male characters together? Make a movie with more than one female lead. We can’t help it that The Avengers is a sausage party.
We are going to ship. We are going to ship loudly and proudly and there’s nothing you can do about it. I suggest you stop complaining and jump on the bandwagon. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy fangirls when you get to know us. We have a sense of humor. We have a sense of fun. We just happen to also have a strong sense of romance and a thing for attractive men.
So sue us.
Bolding by me.
To everyone who has ever complained about/looked down on shipping or fanfic or god forbid slashfic.
I’m not sorry my enjoyment of fandom is different from yours.
I think this is my favorite part of this. Shipping and fanfic are fun and legitimate ways to enjoy things.
I agree with all the sensible stuff here.
I would also like to note that the Jan RPer is completely wrong here. There is no way that Janet would react to finding Steve and Tony in bed together in any other way than massive squeeing. It is just not possible.

One of my friends (and campmates) is stuck about five miles from the camp (about seven from where I’m at right now) and can’t get back to camp.
Not the best plan.
I’d suggest walking but that’s really unkind and he’s got problems with his feet.
Well shit.
In other news, why do I dislike summer? Because during the summer it is possible for it to be sunny at 8pm.
Shot in my jaw. Awesome.

Holy shit, I have one on my knee. I TOOK AN ARROW TO THE KNEE YOU GUYS.
No birth marks? I’m brand new!

stealst asked: If I owned you for 24 hours I would sit on your lap and hug you the whole time. And make you talk comics and life at me.
I approve this!
And I can do that. My mind has been running through various theories regarding comics (god damn Batman Inc. needs to publish more often) pretty much nonstop for the past two weeks.
