The wank you never thought you'd see.
You thought you had seen the smallest of the small fandom wanks? People arguing over knitting and perfume not small enough? Met the tokusatsu nerds! This is smaller, but with enough "WTF" for everyone.

So...on Henshin Justice Unlimited, Rising Sun Ranger (RSR from her on out) links to an old Bettleborgs ad on YouTube, noting it's "Worse than the TV Show itself!!"

People giggle, until Skynight wades in with a cry for equal treatment of Saban, claiming hypocrisy.

And...the Japan/English wars are off and running! Skynight declares RSR is "dragging B-Fighter (link to the wiki for the uninformed, well, everyone.) into a comparison war"

The thread lies dormant until NinjaJack, revives it, noting that RSR is "one of those guys who starts a topic about a show he doesn`t like, then goes out of his way to say how much the Japanese version was better."

At this point, it's time to whip out the "My fandom is tiny and obscure, but I can still have a minuscule e-peen to wave about!"

ForeverKnight makes several disparaging comments, but it doesn't get good until RSR quotes a comment in on the YouTube clip:

"The thing that makes Beetleborgs fans superior to B-Fighter fans is that we get the fact this show is supposed to be FUN, nothing else that the Japs can come up with, serious or otherwise. We can lighten up, whilst these Tokastu snobs have to always stick with the source material and bore us to death with how "great" their oriental crap is. We nuked Japan for a reason, you're it."

Racism!Wank about a 15 year old show with people in beetle suits. I can't make this up.

FreedomR8G6B1 proceeds to totally miss the racism and Skynight, it seems, has been found out as the commenter, and tries to defend it. He has friends that aren't white! He doesn't think that people who like a Japanese show over an American one are the reasons we killed thousands of people. Really! You're just taking it out of context!

Still going strong, so far.
