Ugh, Aja is at it again

[cashew]

So, do any of the old Tenipuri fans remember back in the day when HP BNF bookshop (aka Aja) "discovered" Tenipuri and dragged her not insubstantial followers to the Tenipuri community then flooded it with Echizen/Tezuka fics?

No? Just me?

Well, now she's apparently pushing SDC on Vox. =.=

Uuuugh.

Yeah, I've got nothing. Just general bitching and annoyance.

(I still remember arguing with an idiot who didn't understand that the Japanese school year doesn't start in the fall and therefore their entire math calculating the character's ages were wrong.)

Edit to add:

SHE'S A MDZS FAN?! Gah. I guess now I know why that fandom went viral. =.=

I don't get it? Are you concerned she and her followers will ruin things for other Americans exposed to the show?

I've vaguely heard of《这就是街舞》and it has been pretty popular in China. Haven't watched it myself though. Wang Yibo's "canon pair" isn't on the show though, so not sure there's much of the yaoi element involved for RPF.

Also, MDZS had all the elements that attracts the typical HP/PoT/yaoi fangirl fanbase, and a following in China that was significant even before it exploded with the TV adaptations. It likely would've gone popular in the west at some point, with or without the involvement of any specific BNF.

I don't think I ever heard of Aja. Certainly not in the Tenipuri fandom, and I don't think even in the MDZS fandom (though, tbh, my block list is 1000 miles long, because anytime anyone annoys me even a little I just yeet them from my internet eyes).

I'm just here to quietly admit that I have been watching SDC (not because of any VOX recs). It is so much fun, has had me laughing harder than anything else in a long, long time, and I have a huge crush on Ibuki. =x
I shall now run away and hide.
