The Avatar Fandom Needs To Die For This

Wow. I can honestly say, some people are just ****ing stupid.

[wkw427]

-cracks up-

People role play too much.. Then again I wish I was a fairy

[Avarice]

Instead of being a Na'vi, you wish you were Navi.

Must be a troll, I say, must be.

Must be a troll, I say, must be.we can only hope

[Cooki-Cooki]

woah, crazy people arguing with crazier people.

[Unexpected]

I read that first page and it looks like he's trolling.

[Yiffgurl]

I see no problem with this

[Siege]

woah, crazy people arguing with crazier people.

That was my thought.

Looking at this board, it's weird that this guy is so crazy that everyone else on the forum was just saying "Okay, you've GOTTA be kidding."

[Avarice]

I see no problem with this

Avatar is making people think THEY ARE FREAKING NA'VI. That's disgustingly powerful.

Clearly, Cameron is using mind control.

[Mandolin]

Uh-oh, I better not tell people I'm a secret firebender [/predictable]

An otherkin couple are naming their baby daughter Neytiri and telling her she's a secret Na'vi.

[Breegullbeak]

Dare I say this is worse than the Twilight fan girls. Did people do this when Pocahontas came out?

Yes, I get that, I still see nothing wrong with it

[Deebs]

However much I hate this Na'vi Fandom, they are pretty much the same as furries.

Just a lot more pathetic and gullible.

I was under the impression that most furries don't actually think that they're squirrels and chipmunks and gorillas and sharks and marsupials and cakes and other woodland creatures though. They understand that their fetish is just that: a fetish.

You can't really generalize furries one way or the other, some do, some don't, it's whatever

Nah. There's kind of a sub faction called "soulists" who think they actually have the souls of animals inside of them. I saw one on blogspot once. He was a skilled ocarina player. Even in a constraining fursuit.

It isn't just a fetish, Avarice. Sure, it's a big part of it, but that's not all it is.

I'm not going to let this turn into another furry thread so I think it's a good idea we drop this now. :P

[Avarice]

I understand that, I just couldn't come up with a better word.

Anyways, back to Avatar.

Otakukin. Are. Hilarious. The below is from one woman who thinks she's...just read it.

I’ve run this site for a bit less than a year now without including any information about myself on it, about who I am, and whether or not I myself am an Otakukin, like I describe on this site. The truth is that I haven’t felt comfortable putting such personal information about myself here where people from my day to day life might possibly stumble upon it. However, that’s pretty much a moot point now, since I’ve posted and boasted and defended it else where on the web, in places plain to see. I wouldn’t say that its necessarily common knowledge, but its certainly not a secret. And so I’ve decided that its more important to include it here for my readers, than to keep it back out of misplaced fear. Before I came to be born here, on this earth, more than twenty-one years ago now, I was the denizen of another earth, and of that earth’s digital world also. I was Ken Ichijouji. Maybe you’ve heard of me. But I won’t start the story with that world, I’ll start it with this one. To begin with, I’m a girl. I was born to fairly normal lower-middle class parents- I have a younger brother. I was a very bookish child, intelligent, inquisitive, kind of a brat. From the time I was two I was rarely without a book, except when I was watching TV or a movie. My favorite stories were always ones about gifted young people with extraordinary talents, or with extraordinary friends, especially the latter. On the other hand, I was never really the social outcast I might have painted myself as. I wasn’t by any means the most popular kid, but I was an extrovert, and good at making friends. The only really ‘unusual’ behavior I exhibited as a child was that I had this feeling of foreignness, of not being home. And when I was upset, I used to demand to be allowed to “go home” even if I was in my own room. I couldn’t tell you when exactly I was first introduced to the concept of multiple dimensions, it must have been early though since it’s a popular theme in the marvel comics I read. I do remember that I thought it was certainly possible that the choices that we didn’t make here were choices that occurred in other worlds. When I was ten or so, I read Heinlein’s ‘The Number of The Beast’ where the main characters travel to other universes, some of which are ‘fictional’ that is, portrayed as fiction in the universe that the main characters came from. I didn’t really absorb most of the story, but that idea stuck with me. I think I believed it, even then, though I wouldn’t have said so. I was fourteen when Digimon Adventure 02 started broadcasting where I live. I had seen a few episodes of the first series but it had never really caught my interest, and was on at an inconvenient time for me to watch, besides. My younger brother was the one who was really interested in the show, and he was the one who was seated in the living room, with the television tuned to Fox Kids on that Saturday morning. It wasn’t the first episode of the series, maybe it was like the second or the third, I don’t remember any more. I just remember walking into the room, and my attention being immediately drawn to the screen. On screen was Ken Ichijouji, straight, dark haircut around her chin, wearing his school uniform. ‘That’s the bad guy’ I told my brother. He said something along the lines of ‘you don’t know that’. But I did know it. Over the next few weeks I watched Digimon with my brother with some regularity. As he could attest to, however, watching it always made me feel strange and oddly abstracted, and I had powerful, visceral emotional reactions out of proportion for just watching a TV show. Sometimes it got to me so bad that I’d arrange for myself to miss it, or to miss most of it, even though something was drawing me to it. Then we got to episodes 20, and 21; episodes that focuses heavily on Ken, the Digimon Emperor- the strange and subtle ways his mind was being manipulated, the fall of all of his empire, and the revelation that the Digital World he ruled with an iron fist was no game, that the pain he caused was real. The episode crashed as heavily on my shoulders as it did on his, and when I was clearly distraught, my brother finally asked me what the hell was wrong with me. I couldn’t tell him. I didn’t even really know. But something had struck me like a blow, and I was reeling. I didn’t watch any more Digimon. I don’t remember whether it was that very night, or a night or two after when I had the dream. It was the single most powerful dream I have ever had. In the dream I relived details from Ken’s life, some of which I had seen in Digimon, some of which were included in episodes I hadn’t seen but later my brother confirmed, and some which were never in the show but sprang wholly out of what I know now to be my own memories. I dreamed of the night of Ken’s brother, my brother’s death. I dreamed of the dark sea, of the digital world, and of Wormon’s death, and of when I finally found him again. It was a Pandora’s box of memories, most of them I would have rather left forgotten. I woke up in tears, with my arms wrapped protectively around nothing. The dream itself frightened and disturbed me more than enough, but when I confirmed many of the details with my brother, days later, and found out that details I hadn’t seen, like Sam’s death, and the return of Wormon had actually happened in the show, I was even more concerned. I had the terrible feeling that these things hadn’t just happened to some invented character, they had happened to me. But how could I accept that? It was impossible, totally impossible. I tried to shut it out of my mind, and to pretend that it didn’t concern me. But like Pandora’s box, the contents of that life once released could not be put back, and echoes and memories and strange feelings would accost me in the years to come- things that I would try to ignore, downplay, and put out of my mind. It was years before I came across other people who had beliefs like mine, totally by accident, while I was kicking around Encyclopedia Dramatica on the internet. Otherkin, Otakukin. I was shocked to find that there were other people who believed like me, that myth and fiction really exist, and can affect us in our world. I was comforted, but still not comfortable with my own identity. I was unable to resist interacting in the Otherkin and Otakukin communities, but still scared of myself, I invented another identity, and tried to convince MYSELF of its validity, that I had memories of being this other person Xelloss, powerful and cool, instead of, as I knew in my heart, Ken Ichijouji an angry powerless kid who could never be brave on his own. Now that I was more open to the idea though, my memories started coming back more frequently, and it was harder than ever to ignore them. Finally, after a lot of soul searching, and a lot of help from my friends, I accepted who I was, and gained a measure of peace with my identity. I’m very grateful to have a community of people with similar experiences to mine to rely on in times of trouble and of joy. And now when I remember my life in the past it’s a little easier. I don’t have to hide it from myself any more. And maybe someday, my beliefs on the matter will be just as valid as anyone’s. Though I have a new body, and a new family, a new world, and a new life, I am Ken Ichijouji, then and now.

Navi's are cute. *cuddles*

The ORIGINAL Na'vi. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc)

*STORY*
:brickwall:

[ElectricKaz]

Okay,

1. What exactly is the Otherkin site about?

2. DragonBottles.....Kudos

3. I can understand where these Otakukin come from. Who doesn't want to be a 10 foot tall feline-like Humaniod who can talk nature and punch holes through walls. Thats pretty cool, and its one of the main reasons why it captures the audience and has been very successful. However, most people know when to wake up from their daydreams and accept themselves for who they are.

[Dylan Yoshi]

As a self-respected Hylian, I can safely say these people are morons.

[Adam]

As a former member of Captain Jack Sparrow's crew, I will have to agree with you.

[Cooki-Cooki]

hahaha, that was the first thought I had when I watched Avatar.

[Siege]

Indeed. They mock everything we stand for. As a past-life Pokemon Master, I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!

[Unexpected]

What's an "Otakukin"? Is it when a person thinks (s)he's... not a person?

[Mr 3vil]

Is it me... or is Avatar in general blown out of proportion?

Today, I heard someone say "I miss Pandora, it was so beautiful."

Beautiful my a**. We already live on the planet Earth. What the Hell.

I'm not easily amazed by 3D things and the storyline wasn't that spectacular... so it's slightly above average at best.

[N64DD]

3D does make things awesome

[Deebs]

Bwahahaha, it is true! Na'vi otherkin are actually mocking furries! (http://twitter.com/naviotherkin)

[Smouvy]

I'm-a make a movie about my sex slaves...

let's hope everone'll doubt whether or not they're my sex slaves now :P

[StarFox]

Bwahahaha, it is true! Na'vi otherkin are actually mocking furries! (http://twitter.com/naviotherkin)
It's funny because they had to see a movie to even discover what the Na'vi were, and without it, this wouldn't be happening. :D

James Cameron went too far,
Way too far,
There's no turning back this time.

[Mandolin]

What's an "Otakukin"? Is it when a person thinks (s)he's... not a person?

Specifically, when they think they're characters from fiction.

Otherkin believe they're mystical, mythical creatures like dragons and elves.

Agreed. The movie is grossly overhyped and overrated. District 9 was much better, but then again, District 9 is much better than anything else ever forged by the hands of man, with the possible exception of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, if I'm feeling generous that day).

If it wins Best Picture, I daresay I may do something rather nasty.

[Deebs]

Wow, all my life I never realised I was actually a fictional species created after I was even born!

[Articerile]

Wow, all my life I never realised I was actually a fictional species created after I was even born!

Well according to the first website Na'vi are fiction like elves and vampires.


It's that kind of understanding that allows me to actually feed.

[Madous]

I find it funny people are blaming James Cameron for this.. All he did was make a film. You can't possibly hold him responsible. Its like if someone shoots someone else. You don't blame the company that made the gun, do you?

Also, these people are a tad odd, I'll say, but I have nothing against them. I'd treat them as if they were anyone else. That is, if they started doing some Na'vi ritual on me, I'd probably keep my distance. The whole "I think I was something in my past life" is something I've heard a lot, and am accepting of. Yet, thinking you're something that exists only (as far as we know...?) in a fictional work just doesn't really make sense to me.

Also the fact that one of them mocks furries is downright hilarious, not to mention hypocritical.

[chillywilly42]

I'm guessing these people look like $hit and feel so bad about themselves that they make the excuse that they're "from another dimension" or some kind of animal or creature.

[Deebs]

or some kind of animal

:mad:

[Oz the Gay and Powerful]

Fake and gay.

[Articerile]

Fake and gay.

I resent that comment.

[Oz the Gay and Powerful]

I resent that comment.

Why? :(

[Arykawesome92]

As kin of the proud species of Zoras I refuse to accept such mockery! TO ARMS, ZORAS!!!!

[King Gobi]

Lol this reminds me of Banjo fannie :P

[StarFox]

As kin of the proud species of Zoras I refuse to accept such mockery! TO ARMS, ZORAS!!!!
What should I and the other Goron do?

[Dylan Yoshi]

You know, I could always just cast Din's Fire and burn down the whole forest...

I don't think the Kokiri and Deku Scrubs would go for that, though.

[Arykawesome92]

Kill it with fire always works I suppose. But alas you are correct, the Kokiri would me mighty pissed.

[chillywilly42]

:mad:

You have a fetish, but you don't actually ****ing believe you're an animal, right?

[Deebs]

You have a fetish, but you don't actually ****ing believe you're an animal, right?

Not physically, but I believe I have animalistic attributes. But they're entirely coincedential, I don't really believe there is a skunk inside of me.

Also, 8000th post wasted on stuff about furries. Ah well.

[Luxord]

I have added Vaporeon to my list of possibilities.

Not necessarily. There's this Goth emo chick at college (I made a thread about her once) who's some kind of Otherkin. She wrote a poem about how she's really a mystical, beautiful divinity from beyond the tides of time trapped in a human body. And she's not so bad-looking at all. Also she's a weeaboo.

Ask her out yet? o-O
