Yukan Blog II: Blissmo strikes back

We previously reported the reanimation of Yukan Blog. However, either its erstwhile owner or its domain host swiftly reasserted control:

Some asshole tried to slide into my hosting without permission after being told to contact me and now yukan is disabled.

All the content is saved, so if any former writers (except Kaze no Honoo and whoever else helped this doucher) need it for something, it can be retrieved.

The message was left unsigned, but most likely originated from either blissmo or digiwombat.

Either way, it was a swift end to akinari’s hopes.

How Not to Man Up

Let’s face it: quite a few anime and manga otaku could benefit from manning up. Why do I say this? I don’t look at otaku with the stink-eye that Japanese society reserves for crack addicts and indigents (which it lumps such otaku with), nor do I harbor the gentler, kinder prejudice of the Americas (which considers them socially retarded geeks.) Rather, I think that everyone should man up. Anime otaku simply happen to be the audience I write for.

That said, in their hasty attempts to help, otaku are creating images like these:

which do more harm to their cause than good.

Why would I say that?

Autodorama

In which digiwombat is tsun-tsun and Moritheil gets yelled at.

One could say that in terms of the original purpose of The Moritheil Review, I am set.  Nowadays there is far more dorama than I can report; I merely log on to Twitter and people provide me with fodder for my articles.

I passed on this article on a racist judge in the American South:

Good morning. It’s 2009 and racism continues. http://bit.ly/16AdyF #law #politics #america

Immediately, digiwombat fired back:

OH NO! Next you’ll tell me individual sexism continues! WOE BE THE WORLD! The response is more important than the story isn’t it?

Impurity

Loneliness abounds on Twitter, and with it, improbable pairings. So powerful was shinn87′s earlier suggestion of moe daughters that it struck a chord with many throughout the blogosphere, causing them to muse on love.

“So ronery,” wrote lelangir.  And indeed it seemed that many were looking for love.  Icystorm pondered,

OH LOLOLOL PLAYING WITH YOURSELF? HOW CAN ANYONE GET TIRED OF THAT?

Ghostlightning chimed in:

A note for everyone: @icystorm faps to fruit

WAH sought an alternative:

I should go to the Imouto Cafe and ask for a happy end

Mightyatom decided to board this bandwagon as well:

HEY WEST COASTERS WILL YOU COME TO OTAKON IF I PROMISE TO GOBBLE YOUR KNOBS wow typo
