Trivia

[katikat]

Fact Nr 1: You know what I find funny? The fans of QaF US. Either they love Mikey/Ben or they love Brian/Justin. Never both pairings. That's just way too silly for words. :P

Fact Nr 2: As much as I love anime, I really try to avoid registering in torrent archives. I mean, after the owner of a certain unnamed archive handed over all the data to the police to save his behind... Nya nya...

Fact Nr 3: My feet are sore and full of blisters. First I had to run some errands - okay, a LOT of errands - in the town and then I mowed the lawn in the garden behind our house. A LARGE garden... Ouch...

Fact Nr 4: I made myself a cocktail for dinner - 3/4 liter of milk, 1 banana, a handful of strawberries. Yummy!

Either they love Mikey/Ben or they love Brian/Justin. Never both pairings.

I haven't really noticed that, but I'm not in the fandom. I like both pairings, although Brian/Justin is the one I'd rather focus on.

Just don't think I'm too silly if I don't like Michael/Brian, okay? I don't think they work as a romantic relationship at all. There's too much history between them that I don't think can be overcome for a romantic relationship. ^_^

I like Brian and Mikey as best friends better too. I mean, even two gay men CAN be friends, right? Nope, what I meant is that it's either Brian/Justin or Mikey/Ben. The fans of one think the other is boring and the other way around :D I just never met a fan who would like both pairings equally. The funny thing is that I'm used to het vs. slash disputations, so the whole "which gay pairing is better" sounds kind of silly :D

I don't think it's silly, silly ;-) Loving a pairing over another is like loving a character over another. Nothing says we have to love every character or every pairing *g* I love Michael/Ben and don't care about Brian/Justin... this is just a matter of taste *shrug*

I know what you mean, I don't like registering either. There's just something I don't like there...

Poor Kati's feet, ouch!

I find it really funny. It reminds me of the whole het/slash bashing, you know? Like in SG-1. Or the 5+2 vs. 1+2 in GW. As if the people couldn't simply accept that other people like other things. In QaF, it usually ends with Mikey or Justin bashing.

Yeah but liking one pairing over the other doesn't mean bashing the other, that's something totally different. So yeah, the bashing is silly - no matter the side it's from - but not the loving one pairing over another *g*

I think it's more like people liking 1x2 but not 3x4, since Mikey/Ben and Justin/Brian don't involve breaking up one pairing to make another. That's why I don't really understand it happening in QaF.

It's just the whole "I love Brian/Justin. Mike is whiny, get on my nerves... etc" and on the other hand "I love Mike/Ben. Justin is immature, childish... etc". I'm aware of the fact that people like some charas better than the other, it's natural. What I hate is when they escalte their dislike into bashing. And from I read/heard it happens a lot in QaF. And I thought that GW was THE fandom of bashing. Either it's Relena or the women in GW general, or it's the yaoi thing. I just don't get it *sigh*
