The Gundam Wing Yaoi Rant
Before I start ranting, I just wanted to let everybody know that the above picture is not any sort of fan art! It is a REAL picture, taken from Blind Target! (You can read the Blind Target manga here. Note that Heero's the one about to kiss Relena, NOT the other way around! Yaoi? I don't think so.) Okay, this is where I write my little essay in defense of Relena and the non-yaoi opinion. Here goes!
Relena stalks Heero: Well, let's see how many times she does "stalk" him: 1) She followed him to the port in the second episode. Has a little curiosity ever hurt anybody? Besides that poor cat? ^.^ 2) She followed him to Duo's school. Okay, well, let's just give her one lil' freebie... 3) She followed him to Antarctica. She was delivering a letter from Mrs. Noventa. So what if she had wanted to see him herself... But anyways, that was the last time she followed him. Afterwards, Heero started following her. Going to the Sanc Kingdom was Quatre's idea, but Heero was the one who went to Libra, and he was the one who got her back from Mariemeia and watched over her for a while after. Heero followed Relena just about as much as she followed him, so nyah! ^o^
Relena is a brat: Only up until the whole thing at Antarctica. Afterwards, she behaves herself pretty well. Not much to complain about here...
Relena's CRAZY: um... HELL YEAH!!!!! But no matter what you say, she's nothing compared to the gundam pilots! There's Heero, aka Suicide Boy, Duo, who wears a priest's collar but calls himelf the Shinigami, Trowa, the silent guy with two-foot bangs, Quatre, Mr. "I blew up two colonies, but it doesn't matter cuz I'm so darn nice, oh, did I mention I'm gay?" and Wu Fei, the weird justice guy who, at age 15, still seems to think girls have cooties! And of course there's Lady Une who has a real psychological disorder... So basically, who cares if Relena's crazy? Every character on Gundam Wing is a nutcase!
Relena is ugly and has no fashion sense: In some scenes, Relena is really ugly. In other scenes, she's really pretty. It depends on the artist who draws her (not to sound sexist or anything, but the female artists, like Yohko Kohjoh, usually draw her pretty, it's the male artists, like Nobuyoshi Nishimura, who draw her ugly... I'll post up sample pics soon...) As for bad fashion sense...If you can tolerate what Duo wears, you can tolerate what Relena wears.
Relena sux cuz Heero should go out with Duo: Before I start on this, lemme just say this: I'm not anti-yaoi. As proof of that, I think that Quatre and Trowa are gay...with each other (c'mon they totally act like it...) *ahem* NEwayz... This is all fact, not opinion. Yaoi is just the Japanese version of Slash. It's totally fan-created and has nothing to do with the show. Wanna know how Slash got started? It was when female Trekkies were getting bored and so they decided to write gay citrus fics about CAPTAIN KIRK AND SPOCK!!!!!!!!! *shudder* It's kinda the same thing with yaoi. When some young girls see some anime guys that they like, they make yaoi fics, fanart, and doujinshi. But for some reason, with Gundam Wing, the whole yaoi deal kinda got outta hand and some people actually thought that Heero and Duo really were a couple, not just some fan creation....But the truth is, the entire 1x2 concept was created by crazy Japanese fangirls, and it was NOT the intention of the show. So there. And if you're wondering why girls would wanna see two guys as a couple, just think....lotsa guys like to watch lezzies go at it too... ^^;;
Heero and Duo are a couple because Heero couldn't kill Duo: o.O Whatever genius came up with this should be beaten over the head with the stupid stick.
Okay, that's all. All the arguments that I talked about were ones that I have actually seen yaoi/anti-yaoi fans use. None were just made up by me. Seriously! Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye! (wow, haven't had to say that since 5th grade...) otay, bai bai!
Reiko-chan ^.~
