Yaaaay for "Moofy" wank!
By that, I mean "Yaaaay for Fullmetal Alchemist, Elitism, and Fanon Names" wank. There are spoilers in this one too, but only for those who haven't seen past episode 25. Be warned. I'll put it under a cut, just in case.

Place: [info]fanficrants, of course. [info]neo_arkadia rants about the Dub fans "dubbing" a certain mystery boy (aka "Moofy" to sub fans, Wrath to the rest of us) as "Jonas" and how he doesn't want to read a fic with the wrong name in it.

Too bad he said for ficcers to call the kid "Moofy", which makes his post a little stupid sounding, and it sounds like he's telling people to follow Fanon instead of Canon.

[info]zannechaos shows up and flips her shit about Moofy. Several others join in, barking at [info]neo_arkadia about how they don't have to call the mystery boy "Moofy" just because the subbers did.

[info]yuuo chimes in, stating that Fanon will do what Fanon wants, and that it's not up for us to tell who what name to use.

[info]neo_arkadia edits with this jewel:
Edit: Seems some people can't act like nothing more than psychos when I refer to something that's already been in use. v.v

Memo to self: Don't talk about FMA ever. Everyone bitches.


And [info]lykomancer calls him on his edit, throwing in the famous line of "fandom is fucking funny!".

Things die down after that when people start suspecting Fandom_Wankage. :\

Wait wait wait. All I've seen is the subs, and I've never seen Wrath referred to as Moofy. Is this some big fanon injoke or something I've been missing out on?

Actually, darlin', I posted in my LJ right after my comment more or less apologizing to FoR for helping bring the wank again. We were just waiting to see how long it would take to show up, especially after the OP's original post -was- very badly worded to the point where it came across as how no one can use any other names but Moofy or Wrath.

As far as things "dying down" goes, it has nothing to do with suspecting wankage. We -knew- it would probably wind up here from the first comments. We just got sidetracked by teh funneh of picturing muppet!Roy a la Angel, and drawing comparison with Dawn and Al.

Naw, we knew we'd be wanked the second we commented. We just got bored with wanking and decided to be goofs instead.

Orgin of Bruce and Cheryl. To those who doesn't want to click the link, it came from a fangirl's dream.

And... (as far as I can tell) the first sighting of Moofy, scroll down near the bottom.

Then she used it again.

Haha, I love that the guy calling everyone pissy is the one trying to defend that calling him Moofy because it was pre-concieved fanon from the sub watchers is more legitimate than the real name Jonas...I just want to shove a mirror at him.

Moofy, as a name, is just egh. Hell, I don't care what they call the kid. But it's not like Moofy's any better than anything else.

Heh, FMA and fanficrants. That combination is just MADE for wanking. :p

I suppose Moofy might be a usable thing to refer to the character as, because it's pretty blatantly obvious that it's not the character's real name, but it would look mighty stupid in a fic. :p

Interestingly enough, said kid DOES have an actualy proper name in anime canon.

It's Aoya.

His mom says it all of once, so it's a 'what? *rewind/replay* ooh!' sort of deal.

...Yes, I really did check. A lot. And so did my friend what pointed it out. I think we had about 58 backscrolls and rrplays between us.

Y'know, I was wondering who in their right mind would ever want to name him "Moofy" in a fic (or anywhere, for that matter), but I figured it'd be better not to point that out.

I was just skeptical about the implication that a totally random name like "Jonas" would actually stick among dub fans. But if Moofy ended up sticking, I guess anything's possible. :P

Sub vs dub is always entertaining, and when it's about FMA? Just lovely. ^_^

The whole name thing is even more confusing if you're reading the manga, since in it another character is named Wrath.

And everybody should totally read the manga! It has Ling! Ling, I tell you! I'm such a fangirl...

I personally don't follow the FMA anime, it warps the manga story line too much for my taste. In fact, this is a great example of that. 'Moofy/Mystery boy/Wrath' isn't even in the manga. Wrath is actually (omitted so as not to spoil for those who wish to read the manga).

But then, I'm a manga purist.

Huh.

I've never been able to figure out the reasoning behind the fanon pet name "moofy" anyway (nor liked it for that reason-- I called him Wrath), but I can actually see why you might call him Jonas. From a literary allusion standpoint, it's a pretty good temporary label.
