Indeed and I'm not. I'm just a Tezuka fan. Tezuka is a classic author of worldwide significance. You don't call Shakespeare fans "anglaboos", right? He's in the same territory.
I also like Vocaloid for the "open source" like culture. Here's your star system, get the software and go create, that's cool. I like the individual "stars" too, including the Japanese ones, but I think the level of weeaboo in that fandom is sometimes a bit too high. "Fandubbing" in Japanese without knowing the language? I don't get it. (Even from the Russian singer whose Russian fandubs I adore).
Still, I have to keep myself from writing that
julia320 in Twitter...
(And BTW I have active Twitter now! follow ramendik for.... don't really know what, random thoughts and random communication. I wonder, where do I post Luka ideas that come from reading Yuu Asakawa's twitter so that she does NOT see them all in her twitter and think it's crazy fanmail?)
