Amorphous Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 sure, I have yu-gi-oh cards, but really they have been stashed away for a long time now, I am begging to see how much a waist of a money it is to buy cards. So instead I just keep them put away and don't think about them much because I've been concentraiting on other animes at this point. But yes people at my school always call them pokemon or magic. I don't see whats so bad about magic. The amazing thing is alot of people actually say insults like this "Is that Yu-Gi-Oh your playing?" then they start laughing like the show is pathetic and walk away, I swear nothing urks me more. At least they get the name right, but getting the name right and saying it like that is even more worse then calling it pokemon. But I've dealt with it. Because I got into a fight once with one of the popular kids in school, and I did abosultely nothing, he punched me in the the head like 5 times and I felt nothing. I was tempted to take him and throw him in to a locker. Probally break his arm. But I never did. Since then not one person has bothered me, but I;m not suggestion other people do this, I almost lost my temper on him and a few other people. Once I did try to punch a kid in the face out of blind fury but I missed for that very simple reason. I just walked away laughing. Most people think I crazy at my school, I don't mind. and magic the gathering, I will always be a loyal fan to that, I have over 2000 cards and I still love the game, but I don't buy cards much anymore because of the money thing I mentioned earlier. My mom actually calls everything I watch Dragon Ball Z, because I always used to watch that and I still do. But I don't mind, she really dosen't know or bothers to care much of what I watch anyways. Oh by the way my deck is stashed away along with my pogs and hockey cards, make good money of them someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyNicky Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Me n Digital_Monster get it bad at home when i comes to anime lol. Dad quite likes animes, I saw him watching Beyblade, Shinzo, and once he was watching digimon. Her pretends he's reading the paper, but his eyes are peeping over...lol. But Mum just tells us to grow up. I'm fifteen and Krissy's eighteen. She reckons anime's for 5-yr-olds. Yeah, rite! Like they'd understand what's happening. She pretends she doesn't know what happening, but you just know she likes it too! ;) This morning was funny. YGO was on, and mum and I argued for about five minutes over whether that's Yugi's real hair. She reckons its a hat. But what about that time when she ran his hand through his hair and it all sprung back up again.... LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 At my school when i'm dueling my friends seemingly enough there's always someone who comes up to my side of the field and just picks up one of my cards or my whole deck and says I WIN either that or they ask, "Are you playing youjo?" either way it pisses me off......not enough to actually hit someone......

Solo Tremaine Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=purple]I've made the decision to close this thread. What valuable and relevant discussion that could be made has been made, and I don't think that much more will be able to come from slagging off people who didn't know what they were talking about in the first place. There will [i]always[/i] be culture clashes with your parents, people who don't like anime and even some who do but don't like card games. The best thing to do is ognore them and continue doing what you like to do. If they rip up or steal your cards at school, report them. Even though you shouldn't have them there in the first place (and it's safer, really. As has been said before you're not going to get any flak from your friends if you're on your own) they're still your property, and should be dealt with for destroying them. As for parents, again, let them think what they want to think and leave them too it. As long as they don't actually infringe on your privacy or overstepping any 'personal boundries' (e.g. going into your room to bin them) then that's okay. I don't think it's wise to get angry over a silly mispronunciation. It seems pointless, actually. Seeing as this thread seems to be promoting negative feelings and has more or less run its course, I'm closing it now. If anyone has any complaints, feel free to contact me about it. I know this was quite a popular thread, but I really doubt much more can be said without it being a repeat of stuff already in here. Not everyone likes anime. That's the way it goes. *shrugs and wanders off*[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
