A challenger appears!

Published by Hinano at 7:01 pm under Unsorted

I got an email from Sasa-tan a few days ago about a movement against the ABC to promote collaborative work between female bloggers. At first I was like “lawl poor Owen” but when I read some of their topic suggestions I was like “you know this could be a pretty awesome idea.” It would also help bring out female bloggers from the woodwork as I know they’re around but some of them should really post more often :P So yea I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I don’t know if I’ll have any wild ideas to contribute because I feel like I’ve ranted about most things I could rant about but I’m definitely open to topic discussions if I have something to say - which is how it should be anyway. The topics seem like something that’s better discussed by a female blogger rather than a man trying to hide is wiener. :twisted: If you’d like to sign up (and from my understanding we have a lively bunch already) please visit Itsubun’s post as she’s the (WO)man behind it all.

P.S. No traps allowed. :twisted:

    How do bloggers prove they’re not traps? If there are pictures involved, please forward them to me. I think Anime Nano needs to know as well… :twisted:

  2. Hinano UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 7:05 pm

    Oh Hung you loli pedobear :cool:

  3. Link UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 7:08 pm

    What if I want to be a little girl? Does that qualify in this sexy equation?

  4. marmot UNITED KINGDOMon 14 May 2008 at 7:14 pm

    Quick! Tie down the women, they’re making a break for it!

  5. bakaneko UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 7:30 pm

    Is that your cat? I remember seeing your cat on your blog once when you first moved over.

    > P.S. No traps allowed.

    Not even if I shave my legs?

  6. Nagato UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 8:24 pm

    Would this actually include some group projects or just a general coalition of chum-chummery? =p

  7. Taiyaki MEXICOon 14 May 2008 at 9:02 pm

    What about reverse traps? :cool:

  8. Hinano UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 9:04 pm

    Taiyaki> no traps of any kind!

    bakaneko> No sadly I don’t have any cats right now our apartment is too small. I kinda want one but if we wanna go on vacation or something I have no idea who will take care of it so I’m undecided right now :(

    Nagato> Basically we’ll all write our thoughts on a chosen topic

  9. Shin MALAYSIAon 14 May 2008 at 9:20 pm

    I knew I should have continued passing off as a girl just like back in my MMORPG days. Then again, it would have been really difficult keeping my perversions in check without arousing suspicion. :lol:

  10. Nagato UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 9:51 pm

    Ah, that sounds interesting ^^ Too bad I sha’nt join, reason posted on Usagi’s entry.

  11. usagijen JAPANon 14 May 2008 at 9:58 pm

    ack, false alarm! It seems that Ashley still hasn’t confirmed her participation in this… but I do hope she’ll join in the fun! >_<

  12. Hinano UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 10:22 pm

    Nagato> I always knew you were a trap! :oops:

    Shin> ooh boy you were one of those characters who all the guys gave items too right? LOLOL

    jen> aww I hope she joins :(

  13. Nagato UNITED STATESon 14 May 2008 at 11:16 pm

    I’m no trap! I haven’t even specified a gender yet. xP

  14. Owen S MALAYSIAon 14 May 2008 at 11:50 pm

    So, how will the verification exercise of female bloggers go? I’m getting all sorts of funny images in my head here involving pictures at inappropriate angles. How would you know if someone got his sister to take a picture of herself? :neutral:

  15. usagijen JAPANon 14 May 2008 at 11:55 pm

    uh-oh… Sat-chin’s imagination is running wild… :neutral:

  16. Owen S MALAYSIAon 15 May 2008 at 12:15 am

    Just the other night, my imagination had one too many drinks, ran wild and had to be restrained, but not before it attempted to do things to Jen’s imagination, which I won’t mention here. True story.

  17. Caitlin JAPANon 15 May 2008 at 5:22 am

    It’s kind of hard to hide my sex after registering my domain as it is…x.x Previously, everyone thought I was a guy.

    I like the idea of this because IRL, I know 2-3 other girls who like anime. It’s really only online that I’ve found a large number of sans-phallus anime fans. However, I don’t think I qualify - lack of blogging experience and amount of anime seen, for one. I know sex is really the only determining membership factor so far but I’m not sure I could effectively contribute.

  18. usagijen JAPANon 15 May 2008 at 6:02 am

    @Caitlin: ehh, but this is all for fun! everyone’s ideas would be welcome, heck, it’s not even a requirement that you should post! Just… join in the ride, and perhaps somewhere along the way you’ll gain the passion to write or what. Being interested is enough! XD

    and I am stealing Hinano’s author space lol.

  19. [...] - before I go, just wanna announce that a group of female bloggers are starting a revolution. So if you’re female and a blogger, do join us in our struggle against…er…male [...]

  20. Hinano UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 9:57 am

    *gives Owen’s imagination hangover medicine :oops: *

  21. Demon ISRAELon 15 May 2008 at 10:29 am

    gb2/kitchen/ :wink: Unless you’re planning a yuri scene, in which case I’m all for it :grin:

  22. Hinano UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 10:37 am

    Demon> My steel boot would like to make a warm acquaintance with your balls :twisted: Jokes aside hopefully this will turn out to be an interesting project, after all the mans love reading female blogs from what I understand anyway. :cool:

  23. usagijen PHILIPPINESon 15 May 2008 at 11:14 am

    …and Ashley finally hops on board!! :cool:

  24. Hinano UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 11:15 am

    JUST AS KEIKAKU :twisted:

  25. Di Gi Kazune MALAYSIAon 15 May 2008 at 12:02 pm

    You should launch the campaign to send men into the kitchen instead. And do all the housework.

  26. The Sojourner SINGAPOREon 15 May 2008 at 12:09 pm

    Argh. Gonna get cooties. :mrgreen:

  27. myu FINLANDon 15 May 2008 at 12:30 pm

    ABC´s going down… :wink:

  28. Hinano UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 1:07 pm

    Digi> I already have that campaign in my house :twisted:

  29. Senna UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 1:20 pm

    This sounds fun, so I’m signing up as well :razz:

  30. Shin MALAYSIAon 15 May 2008 at 1:23 pm

    Thanks for coming up with a convenient list of potential stalking targets. :lol:

    Also, I feel pretty dumb for not realizing Caitlin was female despite the obvious hints. Didn’t think any guy would use Johnny Depp for their Gravatar either. :lol:

  31. Hinano UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 1:54 pm

    I dunno the moment i saw “Caitlin” as a nickname, I couldn’t think of “MAN” in any way shape or form. :lol:

  32. Os UNITED STATESon 15 May 2008 at 6:02 pm

    So… when do I get my membership card?

  33. Caitlin JAPANon 15 May 2008 at 6:37 pm

    @Shin: o.O

    @Hinano: Thank you! Purchasing this domain was not in vain! (Except it is kind of vain to have your own name as your domain… x.x)

    And the Johnny Depp gravatar is because that scene is recreated whenever I go to a preschool. They love me. They poke me viciously. I run away. I’ll probably do a write up for what it’s like later but I’m bruised today.

    Sounds like tons more material for Hinano’s future-future RenAi Blogger Project ~Plus Communication~ EX Another Days game.

  36. Marmot UNITED STATESon 16 May 2008 at 2:47 am

    My dear Hinano~ I will gladly send proof of my womanhood to you upon request! :grin: (YEAH THAT’S RIGHT HUNG, ONLY FOR HINANO)

  37. blissmo AUSTRALIAon 16 May 2008 at 3:19 am

    Sounds like fun! Does discussing topics include talking about how hot a guy is? LOL!

  40. Jacob Martin AUSTRALIAon 17 May 2008 at 6:05 am

    I think it’s a good idea for girls to have their own blogging group. It enables them to talk about things that they can’t feel comfortable talking about when men are around.

    I for one will identify myself as a male, but I lament the lack of male blogger groups who discuss manly issues in Anime and Manga. Instead of baiting the women for not including us in a clearly commendable exercise in gender studies, us men should be having our own.

    How many times must we be oppressed by the notion that a male hero should look like a muscle bound Goku type, when most of us blokes who are Geeks and Nerds are either scrawny or slightly overweight?

    This has to be said, and just as women deserve some private girl power chatting, men should be respectful of this and while the girls chat away about Magical Girls we men should be debating the roles of men as expressed in Anime and Manga, and how this is different or similar to our own culture(s).

    Blog on!
