Comment on Comiket 83 Trashed “By Dirty Foreigners” by ryusoma:

As a dirty foreigner WHO WAS THERE YESTERDAY:

This is obviously staged to find the worst examples. There were sanitation crews all over Big Sight hauling away bins of trash non-stop. These are just areas they hadn’t got to in an hour.

And these pictures are ALL from the walkway between Big Sight and Kokusai-Tenjijo Station, where the food vendors and scalpers were set up all day. So yes, THIS IS vendor trash.

• Haganai Movie Due – Author: “A Bad Idea I Know”:
  

  “even though I, the author have misgivings about the live action production; please stop trying to get it cancelled and just pay to go see it regardless to give me the benefit of the doubt okay?” The most passive aggressive cop-out ever written by an author. brilliant.

• 42% of Japanese “Otaku”:
  

  It seems pretty obvious that the term ‘otaku’ has softened up in Japan, to become much the same as it is in the west- a fan or aficionado of a pop culture. After all, 30 years ago being a ‘Trekkie’ was a horrible, embarrassing thing wasn’t it? And today being a Star Trek or Star Wars fan is perfectly mainstream. Likewise it seems the Japanese ‘otaku’ is no longer the crazy OCD of Otaku no Video, 30 years past.

• “Otaku Fashion” Most Loathed by Japanese Women:
  

  >>Clothes which are just too lively and individual, a bow-tie or a distinctive shirt..Misfitting clothes, trousers worn around the hips, “wagara” Japanese patterns, pointie shoes, unseasonable clothing, “B-kei” (hiphop) or “V-kei” (visual) fashion and styles associated with middle-aged or middle-school males.. So in other words, basically anything besides a salaryman’s suit and tie is unacceptable. Could you make it a little MORE obvious all you want is the money?

• AKB48′s Yuki Kashiwagi’s Porn Star Date Enrages Fans:
  

  -I don’t know whether these tabloids are just digging dirt on AKB members purely for their own profit (as most western tabloids would too) or whether they’re deliberately attempting to damage the reputation and public opinion of AKB, but good for them because that seems to be what’s happening, leaving the management under fire from the public and mainstream media for their poor treatment of their trained animals err I mean idols.
