11:10am: Man-Faye: the wank about a cosplayer with a wang.
This wank is a few days old and a bit mild until you get to the capslock flamer, but it's still interesting to me.
Ah, the Man-Faye. The legends in cons across the states told of a man, equiped with a Cowboy Bebop costume, who attended Anime Expo and shook his hairy ass for all to see (and spank).
Animenewsnetwork.com puts up
an interview with the Man-Faye himself, which ends with a link to the Man-Faye topic on ANN's
forum where anime fans can state their mind.
It turns out that the Man-Faye was banned and refused entry at the last Anime Expo he went to. It probably had something to do with his costume. *shrugs* That's not really my point.
Mild wank goes about with debates such as:
Man-Faye - Like or Dislike.
Anime Expo - Fair or Unfair.
Crossplayers - Interesting or Ew.
Crossplayers - Cosplaying Rights vs They Shouldn't Be At Cons At All.
Cosplayers - Wear What They Want vs Dayum, J00 So Fug! Get Outta Mah Con Biznitch!
All is well and calm until you get to
page three, where
Starwind Armada shows up with this message:
Any middle-aged man who dresses up in a skimpy female outfit has some serious problems to work out. And this man's obsession with keeping Bebop on the air is a joke. According to that site, he has seen it run over 12 times and he has the entire series on DVD. I don't even think he's a true anime fan; he's just some poor, lonely Bebop fanboy who deserves to be banned from EVERY single convention. Sailor Bubba, too. All these guys are doing is making anime fans look like a bunch of mindless losers who like to cross-dress in disgusting ways.And then later comes back with this beauty:
And here's a message to Man-Faye: YOU'RE NOT A CELEBRITY. STOP THINKING SO HIGHLY OF YOURSELF. YOU ARE AN UGLY, ANNOYING BASTARD WHO IS JUST MAKING ANIME FANS LOOK BAD. AX WAS RIGHT IN BANNING YOU AND I HOPE ALL FUTURE CONS PREVENT YOU FROM ACCESSING THEM. YOU HAVE RUINED A GREAT ANIME CHARACTER AND FOR THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HATED. I HOPE YOU DIE OF GONNORHIA AND ROT IN HELL.
I mean, God, is that shit disgusting or what? He mentioned he got picked on as a kid; probably because he pranced about in his mom's lingerie or something.Needless to say, a few posters barked back at Starwind, but she (I believe this flamer is female) keeps coming back for more with her stubborn ways for several pages.
All in all, little wank, though it was amusing seeing how the forum posters reacted to the Man-Faye, then showing a bunch of pictures at the end of what really scary cosplaying is, showing that once and for all, there truely
are worse things than a Man-Faye shaking his bootah.
