Well, I've not witnessed that in person myself. Though I must say, it IS helpful to know for certain now why it was always called "slash fiction" I never quie understood it. But now I do. Thank you.eatenbyagrue said:Now these girls, they get into them and immediately start doing what anime fangirls are wont to do: they start shipping characters in yaoi pairings, and then immediately latch on to said pairing as "canon", refusing any and all attempts to make them stop. Nowadays, I can't even talk about anything with the other guys without them chiming in with "OMG BRUCE/CLARK (that's Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, aka Batman and Superman) IS SO (insert fangirl rant here)"
Anyway aside from that, I DID know a girl that almost ruined Manga and even Anime for me. The girl was honestly Schizo. And was so in such a way that she honestly believed that the anime chars (most often males) talked to her. And that she talked to them. ANd would (with even a fraction of a chance) explain to you about all the relatives of these characters the creators "didn't know about." Oh, and all the male chars were in love with her as well. I very clearly wanting to strangle the girl after hearing the most recent rant about how Alucard (yes . . . HELLSING'S Alucard) was so breathlessly in love with her that he blushed frequently in her presence and couldn't speak without a constant stutter.
Let me repeat that for you. She believed that Alucard from Hellsing . . . was in LOVE with her . . . would pant, blush, and stutter BREATHLESSLY in her presence, and had 6 brothers and 2 younger sisters (zuh!?) who were all in love with her as well. And would constantly go on and on about how tiring it was to be "wanted" by so many.
