Things I hate about: Webpages
10. Really large text in all caps.
9. Moving backgrounds... period. No matter how pretty they are, they're annoying and they take too long to load.
8. Pages that have no thumbnails. Worse, pages that have fake thumbnails.
7. Anti-pages period. Granted, some of them make good points, but why would you have a webpage about something you hate? I hate steamed lima beans. I don't advertise. I just don't eat them.
6. Mars pages that have red backgrounds with purple text, like her fuku. For some reason, this just doesn't look right. I don't know why or how. It just doesn't look right.
5. Pages that have all broken links... that say that they're finished. Check your work.
4. Pages that haven't even begun yet.
3. Pages with titles like "The best Sailormoon page ever!" Dream on.
2. Pages that have blatant untruths on them, but hide the "this is just a joke" page. Young, impressionable, non-manga reading Sailormoon fans are out there. Don't corrupt them.
1. Pages that haven't updated in EONS.
Things I hate about: Guestbooks
The other day, I'm out cruising webpages, right? I go by this anti-page that I can't stand just to see the guestbook. (I love doing that.) And what do I see?
I AM SAILORMOON! YOU ARE GOING TO BE PUNISHED IN THE NAME OF THE MOON FOR MAKING THIS PAGE! EVIL SHOULD BE KILLED, AND THART MEANS U! THE SCOUTS AND I ARE GOING TO KILL YOU! HERE YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then they name all of the Senshi's attacks, including such greats as "Jupiter Thunderclasj Zap" and "Neptone Dep Submerge".
I can't stand the people who made this page, but I wrote them a note in their book stating that I'm on their side on this one. That message is one of too many really stupid ones that I've seen over the course of three-four-five years. I don't even remember how many... Anyway.
Another thing that annoyed me about this person? The "U" instead of "you". Why do people use these things? Why not spend the .0001 seconds to type the y and the o? They use it for "tho", too, as well as some others. What's the point? If you have something to say, say it all. We don't say "BTW" in real life. Why write it?
I'm on a roll here. ;)
Lastly, the whole "Scouts" thing really gets me going. So does "Pluto Deadly Scream" etc. I have nothing against people watching the dub, or making webpages on the dub, or referring to characters using the dub names. But if you're on the Net, you've seen manga names for stuff while stealing pictures. (Sorry, but it's mostly true.) Immediately after noticing this, I started using "Senshi" or "Soldiers" in place of Scouts. Scouts sell cookies or tie knots. They don't fight evil. 99% of the Sailormoon obsessed people on the Web use the Japanese names and equivalants... they just sound better. Why not switch?
Things I hate about: "Moonies"
First, let it be known that I HATE the term "moonie". That sounds like some kid's name for a classic pants-down joke. Are we all naked butts hanging out? I devoutly hope not! So why the term?
Second, "moonies" tend to believe that they know everything about Sailormoon, and this is the only way it should be, and this isn't right even though it's perfectly acceptable. There's a fantastic example I know of that I can't name here, but if he reads this, he knows who he is. These people assume that if you don't think the same way they do, you're wrong. Period, exclamation point.
That's wrong. We all have different viewpoints, and Sailormoon (as well as other things) relies heavily on the way one sees things. Sailor Cosmos may or may not be Sailormoon's final form. Pluto may or may not be in love with Endymion. And the time skips and hops... well, let's not go there.
Finally, "Moonies" are seen as particularly vicious little things. These are the people who join "sites without hentai" formerly known as "hentai free" and believe everything SOS tells them. They write flames to anti pages with numerous cuss words inside. They seem to be about 6-13 in age.
"Moonies" are annoying people that no decent person can stand. Why do we want to be like that?
