See me use my het icon to defend yaoi
Aug. 19th, 2007 01:12 pmSo I'm working on the photo thing really. I just need to find my camera i know it was here the other day. But I got distracted by
hyujin posting about the
antiyaoi comm on her journal.
First, that clip of Quinton Flynn compromising for the fangirls was adorable. I don't like it when fangirls try to coerce VAs into saying blatantly homo-erotic things when the couple is not "official." I think it makes the VAs feel uncomfortable. If you want something slashy, I'm sure you can better word your request so you get your OMG!!SQUEE moment without making the VA worry about how things will be perceived by the later half of the fandom. For example, if I was requesting Yuri to say something for Sasuke, I would probably ask for the "Naruto, you idiot" line because in Sasuke's voice, that is plenty slashy enough. That said, Quinton's "Roxas, take your hands off me" was every bit as sexy as "Roxas, take my pants off" would have been. His delivery of Roxas' name was just so sultry. I commend him for being creative enough to find a happy medium.
( But what are your thoughts on antiyaoi? )
IN OTHER NEWS: I need to find a day to just sit down and watch Guren Lagan and read me some manga. I hate all you people with more free time than me.
