I'm not sure if other places have mentioned this yet, but on the LJ comm <http://www.livejournal.com/users/squaresoft_icon">Squaresoft_icon</a>, Kasuino posts some Final Fantasy X-2 bashing, on the basis that it was nothing but a Charlie's Angel's knock-off and an excuse for Squaenix to make more money on Yuna & Rikku's boobs. Many people get very upset at someone knocking the only true Final Fantasy sequel, and because the community is about icons (though Kasuino's post is about making X-2 bashing icons) and some people actually liked the game. More people just seem vaguely amused and use it as an opportunity to wank.
Ensuing discussion about fanservice, Final Fantasy, icons, lots of ranting/bashing of various icon cliches, and plenty of mocking in various forms.

There are, hidden in there, some gems of sense, and I found Mahoutsukichan's & Hitokuse's mockery of the mocking amusing, but all-in-all it seems to be a lot of "OMG, how could you not like the game" and "It was a marketing ploy to make Yuna & Rikku into sluts & make more guys buy videogames (wtf?)"
