So, I'm a bit over it - Fan Club Rant

All because of the daily comments on :icondcposse: fan club by the moron "fans" who are all "OMG1!!11! IUluvuuuuuuuseeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiferrrrr. *fangirl squeal shit* cuuuuuz ur hawt!11!!!oneeleventyfuckingone".

In other worlds: I run fan clubs' for people who are REAL fans. Not "Bcuz their hawt", I KNOW SQUARE/SQUARE-ENIX STAFF MEMBERS and in all honesty from the ABSOLUTE SHIT they've seen done to their work - character designs, music and overall their games.... that they put their absolute hearts into working on - some staff members refuse to sleep for days to weeks on end until they've worked so much to the brink of exhaustion to make their bosses proud and when they don't think they've done their very best then they redo EVERYTHING until they believe that have done it PERFECTLY TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES.

Did you know that some of the staff members didn't think that they had done their best on Final Fantasy VIII due to modifications to the script and character designs that they were against, some of them refused to work on the game until parts of the script were restored (none of them wanted the "relationship" with Seifer and any of the female characters, it was never actually in the original script. Not to mention the hacking away at who Ultimecia really was so much so that the majority of the people that played the game had no idea in hell about the majority of the storyline). Nomura let his "adviser" who was publicly said to have modified Squall's design as apparently he looked too girly... Yusuke.

So much so that if you see somethings in some of the releases, test copies, developer copies or special releases of the games or other products you can find things like in VIII one staff member working on the battle system made the Wooden Cactuar (you can see my quick Photoshop image of it in my Gallery) which said an apology to "Da-san" which is actually TETSUYA NOMURA as Nomura signs a lot of his work or designs with "Da-San" work of which signed of that is generally only seen at things like the Square-Enix Party.

Now, many of the former and current staff members have been ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED with what they have seen written in fan fiction or depicted in cosplay or crossplay or even in fan art... not to mention some of these idiotic "fans" have taken up stalking the staff members over things and none of them enjoy being attacked on their way to work by some idiotic "fan" that has no idea about the effort put into their work and all of the actual details put into every single part of their games or other releases. NOT A SINGLE BIT, other than the comments normally given by these so called "fans" are as the following:

"I like (character name) cuz he's hot. I want your autograph, make me a picture of the character too."
"*Attempts to prove that this moron knows EVERYTHING but is proven wrong by making multiple mistakes only to get on the staff member's nerves*

Among other tons of crap.

Hell, I've played tons of different things from Square since I was little:

Pre-Release copies of games.
Promotional copies and other promo things.
Developer versions of games.
Tester versions of games.

Not to mention copies of storyboards and other things so I can study how they work on the games as they influence me on teaching myself how to program and render among other things in hopes to work in the video game industry someday.

So not only does it piss me off, it pisses off the former, current SQEX staff members and staff at rival companies like EA Games for one example.

OVERALL
----------------------------------

People, stop being idiots. You have no idea how much work is put into this stuff so stop screwing with it and if you only like characters or people because of their exterior appearence then I call you a shallow person. Look past that, if you don't like their personality then piss off on your bike.

Because it's people like that, that make my life a living hell... I'm tired of having to deal with them because everyone else is too scared to because the majority of them are "popular" because they simply follow trends or flaunt themselves. GET OVER IT.
Being an asshole to someone or just screwing up someone's work that they have put EVERYTHING INTO just because you may find it interesting, erotic or just because you want to screw with it can hurt a lot of people and if you're doing it just because you want to be "popular" then I suggest that you don't. Instead, be yourself and treat people the way you want to be treated.

I don't mess with stuff that people have worked and put everything into and if I have and they dislike what I have done with it then I am happy to apologize to them and I understand where they are coming from for that. I don't follow trends, I am just myself and I treat everyone how I want to be treated - politely, respectful and I try to be nice even to people I dislike (which can be a little hard when I am in a foul mood) and for this I have people copy me in order to be "popular" or "accepted" simply because everyone knows my name, I have random people come up to me in school or on the street and hug me simply because they've seen me helping people on numerous occasions.

Basically: don't be morons overall.

To the side, don't even bother leaving me threatening/harassing messages because I'll just report and delete them so it's a waste of time even bothering to do so. I deal with harassment daily as well as other things.

Wow. Your good at writing these essays xD Even a conclusion!

Speak the truth, but leave immediately after.
It's not really an essay. XD

I wasn't intending it to be one... more like one of my smaller rants that wasn't a complete wall o' text.

Yeouch! Having a bad day huh? Now I see why u hate fanfiction so much. Or the "moron "fans"".
Indeed.

Plus I pulled TONS of muscles in my legs... hurts to sit or move.... or.... really anything.

Unfortunately, you can't stop people from being idiots... The best you can do is ignore them and hope they realize themselves what idiots they're being. Though I do relate to wanting to rant at the shallow ones who can't type straight. >_>

But... I have to say I love fanfiction and stuff, and the thing about it is that most people only HAVE the final version of the game to work with, so you can't really blame them for using that. And it's like poetry; if you let people see it, you have to accept that people will interpret it their own way. I know a lot of manga-ka love getting doujinshi and seeing what different things people have done to their creations, so if some people don't like it, they don't have to look at it. :/ Whatever horrible crap people spew out (and they do), I don't think anyone should try to stop them from making it.

I hope this didn't come out sounding preachy, or mean, or especially harassing (^^;), so please don't take it that way. I'm just saying what I think.

The Photoshop is mightier than the pen.
I know what you mean.

I actually don't mind SOME fan fiction - by SOME I mean the ones that were written by people that were inspired and wanted to write it as much as they could in-character instead of some of the shit people write.

I know of that too, hell.... Nomura actually has a stockpile in his office of doujinshi made by fans that he likes to read every now and again ranging from stuff he's worked on down to his favorite bands, shows and movies and he never stops talking about those some days (apparently from what I've heard from some current staff members that like to annoy Nomura who in turn never stops talking about stuff). And I'm not saying that I want them to stop making it, I just want the ones that are screwing it up ON PURPOSE because they WANT to screw it up and ruin things for other people because they're that type of shallow asshole that doesn't give a crap unless it's about themselves.
