If you're part of LJ and you found out about the "Subbers Meme" and read all the stuff about STORMY or SBK you can guess what I will be talking about. If not, it's fine. I just need to let off some steam. Mind you this isn't complaints against the subbers and I'm not trying to offend anyone, I really just need to let off some steam about this entire situation. It's stupid in my opinion. (-_-;;)
I guess.. I don't really get why people are complaining. I mean a lot of people are saying STORMY is being "elite" by not letting people in or having to answer "essays" but.. I don't know. When I saw there new rules come out I was a bit annoyed but then sort of shrugged and was like "whatever, guess I'll do it" and I really didn't see the problem. It only took about.. a minute of my time. Literally. Yes even answering the "essay" didn't take more than 30 seconds. Why should't it? I wrote a paragraph. Wait.. where is this essay we're getting at? Maybe if you're new, than yes that might be a hard question to answer and it could be frustrating but hey if you want some help Here you go!! =D
So yes, for the application for STORMY.. I don't see what "essay" you have to write. "What makes Arashi Arashi" use as many words as you want. You can write a fricken SENTENCE. No. Seriously. Where does it say write an ESSAY? o_o I wrote a paragraph. 5 sentences. Not that hard, took about 30 seconds and bam, done, comment over. If you got rejected than yeah.. that sucks.. no offense. Get over it? I know this might not help coming from someone who did get in (shoot me =D) but.. if I didn't get in, I doubt I'd be moping, and complaining about it. Sure, maybe a one liner in my LJ update "STORMY rejected me.. T.T *sobs*" and okay, that's done and over with. Oh dear, I have no access to subbed videos now... hmm... wait! I forgot, there are like.. 14 other Arashi subbing teams out there =O *GASP* Okay, they are the only group subbing "Smile" but considering they are 4 episodes behind... I don't really think I'm missing out... No. Really. Oh. Also. I can't understand Japanese and I hate watching RAW. I'm not crying that much about missing subtitles. I just figure, no subs, no watch.
Fine, you can get mad, and freedom of speech of course but you know. It's been a while. That subbers meme was supposed to let everyone rant and rave and be pissed and than after everyone can just shut the hell up. Obviously that did not happen and people are still seen complaining and blah and blah and it's just like "My god people, get over with it..."
By the way, I did pull into account that I might be feeling this way because hey, I actually got in (first try in both SBK and STORMY and damn it was easy..) but then I thought about it some more and I really. I don't think I'd care so much. I'm very... apathetic about many things. As a fangirl... as a person in the JE fandom I find I never get caught up in all the drama that occurs inside of it. Or.. I never feel as strongly for anything as every else does. Oh, I also realized that the reason I've only been seeing complaints is that.. what the hell is the point of complaining if you get in right?
Oh and yes. I have no life. So that is indeed why I posted this. Because I have no life. *sobs for myself*
I am always aware that I may seem immature, well... I am at that age where my immaturity level supposedly resembles that of a "stupid 14-year-old"... *hinthint* =D
Anyways, I think that is enough "letting of steam" for one day. As always, feel free to agree, disagree, insult, bash, mentally scar...
and I know I haven't posted in a while, so sorry the first thing had to be a rant (>_<;;)
