Or I can expect to be called a rapist. I had such respect for the organization too. Didn't anyone ever tell them "Don't Feed the Trolls!" ? There are so many damn trolls of course. One of my favorite comments that I'm sure will be ignored by Equality Now posted by an anon: "My friends that play H-games are sociable, friendly, trustworthy, and don't harbor any negative feelings against women. My old friends that play soccer/football smoke pot, steal, are insanely vulgar and I know one guy has raped a girl and gotten away with it." ALSO: "As a woman, and one who considers herself something of a feminist (an admission that will undoubtedly make me something of a pariah for a considerable number of sancon posters -.-) I can understand how Equality Now would be disturbed by images of violence against women in certain hentai. However, the percentage numbers such images being translated into actuality by viewers are undoubtedly low. I wish Equality Now would use its energy to work for (real) women who are in more immediate danger (I'm LOOKING AT YOU AFGHANISTAN)" - female anon Speaking of Anonymous, the month of October brings about a Halloweenish theme by the Anonymous was on the "church" of scientology. Zombie Raid will be the proposed theme for October 10th. (At least in San Jose.) Zombie costumers were swarming cinema theaters earlier this week when "Zombieland" came out. San Francisco Co$ orgs have come under anon protest and zombie swarms before. Tags: $cientology, war on scientology

First I'm going to hit the Pistahan downtown for Pinoy goodness. I won't enter the Balut eating contest because I know I'd lose. Also, I need to save room for when to jaunt over to the Nihonmachi Street Fair. Maybe I'll shop for anime that day as well. I need to find original ADV DVDs of "Nerima Daikon Brothers". THe FUNimation version doesn't have as many extras. That means no time again to watch the local monthly Anons vs. Scilons spectacle. I don't even know what the SF Anons are up to. I do know of the big raid in San Jose this Saturday. " Cult Fiction" is the name of the game. Sounds like a cheesey sci-fi con on the streets. In other news, there seems to be a lot of focus on the " White House Beer Fest", because of what led up to it as well as the fact that it's the White House. I'm surprised 'Dubya never did one of these things. Nor did I expect President Obama to approach a national incident in such a manner. Anyway, I was intrigued by the beer choices. Red Stripe could capitalize with one helluva TV ad. "Boo to getting arrested for trying to get in your own home!" Personally, "Boo for Obama endorsing Bud Lite!" . It's not even American owned anymore. I doubt it make the LCDs who voted against him like him. Shoud've picked a local domestic microbrew. Or at least another domestically owned beer that wasn't Bud anything. Tags: $cientology, war on scientology

So what an election. One step foreward, and how many steps back? NPR mentioned that exit polls showed that many of the black California voters who put Obama into the White House also said they busted a cap into gay marriage. Many go to churches that encourage such a thing. (Who cares what other religions think?) There is also a homophobic streak among black men as described by gay black film maker MarlonRiggs. Because of emasculation at the hands of slave drivers, 'Kluxers, and the like, it seems that the hypermasculine homophobia was a backlash result. As a teen, Riggs was called not only "Fag" but "Punk" in the context that a gay black man is a race traitor. He also was pushing for African Americans to call themselves "Black" instead of "Colored" back then. His encouragement of the term "Black" was met with "You take that back or I'll kick your black ass!" One gay man interviewed compared the passing of Prop 2 against Prop 8 and said that voters just declared pregnant pigs more important than gays. He was so sad. Obama is a symbol of hope on many levels. NPR pointed out that he did come from a humble background and still ended up going to law school, getting into politics, writing bestselling books, and reaching the highest office in America. Will he be an icon of hope to encourage others to take the same honest path to advance in life? An alternative role model that doesn't tuck a Glock in his pants or spin a ball or pimp JELL-O pudding pops. (I miss those.) Will this alter discourse over the "model minority" concept? Moving on. There is an upcoming world wide raid on the many buildings of $cientology. Much Enturbulation is planned as usual, even with the site attacked. Someone in my house is thinking TurDucHen for Thanksgiving. Curiosity makes me look at Tofurkey. Tags: $cientology, war on scientology
