anime/manga, bitter so bitter, elitism, fandom: sailor moon

The moon may forgive you, but Usagi never will
From wank_report:

It all starts with SeraMyu Antics and Sailor Moon Fan Subs, two sites devoted the wonder that is Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. Well, that and offering fansubs of the various Sailor Moon musicals that started running in Japan since 1993.

Here, near as I can figure, are the people mentioned:

SeraMyu Antics and/or Miss Dream	Sailor Moon Fan Subs
Elly: Not a moderator of SMA, but apparently high up on the food chain. Runs the server on which SMA is hosted. Translator at Miss Dream. Sam/TakagiNaoSama: Apparently the owner of SMA. Yen-sama aka Jen: A dirty dirty SMA partisan.	Usagi: A SMFS admin and heavily involved in SMFS's fansubs ShineOn: A SMFS admin Ami: A translator for SMFS who has been maligned for not knowing Japanese

The Sera Myu Antics forums begin experiencing problems, with people unable to log into their accounts. According to SMA, the problem is due to hackers. Or they were reported as an attack site.

No, it was intentional! Usagi’s account and posts on SMA have all been deleted; clearly it was a malicious act and no links to any sites on the SMA server will be allowed on Sailor Moon Fan Subs k nvm links will be left alone.

In fact, the villain is most likely none other than Elly, head translator of SeraMyu Antics and owner of both the SMA server and Miss Dream! Or not. But either way, the people at SMA are incompetents. Also, those guys at Miss Dream are elitists who won't work with Usagi. Dirty, dirty elitists.

Later, someone shows up on Sailor Moon Fan Subs to pimp a translated omake. Someone points out that the omake was already translated by Yet Another Fansubber, Live-Evil; Yen-sama appears to explain that the people at Miss Dream weren’t satisfied with the Live-Evil release and wanted to put out their own subs. Usagi jumps in:

Yen-sama wrote:
That omake was subbed by Live Evil, yes, but their release had several problems. There was a problem with the timing of the audio to the video, as well as several translation errors that we felt were worth fixing with our own release.


Strange since Elly told me that the only translations that she felt were correct were those by live evil, and of course, herself.

Timing errors? bad translation? Looks to me like you are trying to hide the egg on your face with a piece of toast.

Also.

Last night I made a post about this on SeraMyu Antics and it has been removed. It said:

That was already subbed ages ago by Live-eviL

It has been available for years here:

I re-posted the same information today and added this:

I HAVE NOT removed posts that Jen of Miss Dream
made about this on my site.

I EXPECT the same courtesy!

Care to explain why a perfectly good, explanatory post was removed?

Yen-sama, you are skating on very thin ice.
If you expect to post here, you DAMNED well better not have my posts removed elsewhere.

Ken Yuen's subs seem like a chimp

Insulting Ken is NEVER okay in my books.
Without Ken Yuen I'd guess that very close to 100% of the SeraMyu community would never have existed.
His efforts deserve our respect and most definitely do get across the storyline etc.

It seems to me that the people from Miss Dream have declared war on SMFS, the charge being led by Yen-sama aka Jen.
Are you one of their 'foot-soldiers?"

In fact, it turns out Elly of SMA was the culprit responsible for deleting Usagi’s account. But Elly isn’t allowed to moderate the boards; she’s not a moderator! Okay, she is allowed, but we all trust her not to.

Troll! Troll! All your posts will be deleted!

ShineOn offers a heartfelt call for those involved with SMA to look into their little fenhearts and stop cyberstalking Usagi. And using SMFS images and other content on their site.

"Beyond any legal implications, they also should look into their souls and consider whether it's worth it on a personal level to carry on the way they do. It's certainly not in the spirit of SailorMoon. Even if they have no self-respect left, if they want to continue their affiliation with the SailorMoon fan community they should at least have respect for the principles embodied in the SailorMoon story and try to reflect them in how they live their personal and public lives."

Also, lulz the human condition.

Next, SMFS’s Megaupload links to the various musicals stop working. And it is all because of SMA.
