*gets on soap box*

To all my fellow cosplayers/ gamers/ nerds…. What happened to being happy with you and the things you can control? Why all the drama? Why all the disrespect? Why does everyone want to be “known”, yet very few want to work for it? I’ve only been cosplaying for 3 years, and in that short time i’ve seen people go from fun loving geeks to catty backstabbing morons.

If you “make it to the top”, then BRAVO, but don’t act like you’re owed anything just because you have nice photo’s and a fancy f#ckin’ outfit. You are not a hollywood celebrity…you are not Bill gates rich from cosplaying, you will probably never see yourself in fortune 500 magazine……you are a NERD…just a fancy nerd. Nothing that you do or wear gives you the right to act like an a$$ to people, especially not to your friends & those who look-up to you.

If your friend “makes it to the top”, be freakin’ happy for them! Your job as a friend is to be there as support and to keep your “famous” friend grounded. If you call yourself a friend, then be a f#ckin’ friend and cut the crybaby bullsh*t out! Stop being freakin’ emo about not being in the spot light or having to “share” your friend.

To the “computer tough guys”, Stop making up dumb ass 4chan post &/ spreading malicious rumors. Stop worrying about destroying someone else’s name and work on building up your own skills or taking care of your own responsibilities. What kind of sense does it make to spew hate and then cry about how no one cares about you?! If you have LEGIT issues with someone, tell them straight up! If you do and that person doesn’t listen, that’s cool…drop ‘em and go on with your life.

Bottom line, at the end of the day we’re all nerds, and we should have mutual respect, understanding and love for one another. If you’re upset by this post, then maybe you need to examine why you’re so mad and correct yourself before you lose all the people who can stand to be around your crazy a$$.

(fyi, no i don’t think i’m a saint, i’ve done dumb crap too.)

*gets off soap box*”

Over the last several months, many people in the Sherlock Holmes fandom have been buzzing about Lucy Liu is playing (Joan) Watson in the CBS modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, which is named “Elementary”. The buzz from the fandom is because Watson is Asian and a woman.

At Comic Con Lucy Liu responded to the racial controversy:

“I mean the thing is, when you go into anything everyone has an opinion. And when we did Charlie’s Angels, everyone was like ‘This is going to be a huge flop, this is a disaster, this is a mistake.’ And all I could think about was, ‘Wow this is amazing,’ because they’ve cast an Asian person as one of the Angels, and when I was growing up it was the idea that it was all Caucasian. So that was, for me, like, ‘who cares about anything else’?

And for me this time it’s about that Watson is a female. And a lot of people who are of ethnic background have come up to me and said, It’s so great that you’re playing Watson and you’re representing a big, you know, minority section of actors and people in the world.”

Will you tune in this fall and watch this take on the modern day Sherlock Holmes?
