I have no desire to ban you.

But I will not cease. The fact of the matter is that if you read anything outside of Bleach, you quickly begin to wonder how Kubo even gets published any longer. The sheer factual fallacies in his literature are cringe-worthy and that is literally the most polite term I can use to describe it.

I'm sorry I'm not hopping on the "Kubo is a marvelous author" bandwagon, but he's not, so I express it so. If that makes you, or others, mad. Frankly? That's too bad. You know what I get tired of? I get tired of reading 17 pages, three weeks in a row, of Kenpachi basically saying "KENPACHI SMASH" *huge explosions* and people saying "This iz da best chapter eva!" when I can turn to my bookshelf and pick out a children's rhyme with more of a plot.

"If you hate Kubo and Bleach so badly, why on earth are you still reading it? Why do you even bother coming or contributing to this site if it's part of a series that you loathe so badly? If you expect it to be stupid each and every chapter, why do you keep ranting about it?"

I'll answer those in order;
 * 1) Because I get a huge laugh out of it.
 * 2) Just because Kubo is a mind-numbingly stupid author, doesn't mean I have to let it affect my own work. I don't mind the universe. The non-existent plot is what bothers me.
 * 3) A) Because it amuses me and B) because I refuse to jump on Kubo's crotch and tell everyone what a wonderful chapter 17 pages of different angles of Ichigo's face is, when it isn't.

"We haven't talked in a long while, and I hate for this to be the first thing we discuss since then, but I've honestly gotten tired of seeing the same old comments from you. No real contributions to the site, no real effort or care, just ranting. And frankly, I know I'm not the only one.


 * 1) Don't let it bother you, it doesn't bother me. Honestly, I'm glad you spoke your mind because, frankly, no one else will so more power to you.
 * 2) I'll throw your own question back at you. If they bother you so much, why do you read them? See my name, keep scrolling. That's what I do when I don't particularly like what is being said.
 * 3) You may not be the only one. This is true. But, frankly, and this is the kicker: it doesn't matter. If you guys can spend all day talking about how lovely Bleach is, then I can spend just as much time telling you how much it sucks. Its a two way street.

Backing up:

"This isn't a series that is meant to be taken seriously; it might have started out that way."

Well then, we have no problem here, because, obviously I don't take it seriously one bit.

"Many users have more fun making characters here than they do on other sites, and there isn't a thing in the world wrong with that."

Don't believe I ever stated that I had a problem with that. If they love what they do here, more power to them. All of them, yourself included, are better writers than Kubo will ever be.

And now to the meat:

"..When all you do on both sites is try and cram that opinion down our throats, it gets pretty old and annoying. We'd like to see thoughtful and more insightful opinions/outlooks put on discussions or question-based blogs, not the same rants time and time again."

Firstly, I'm not cramming opinions down anyone's throat. I state facts (from an author's standpoint) and personal opinion. I don't give a flying monkey's ass what people think of that opinion anymore than I do mine, but I'm not just going to shut up because I dislike the way Kubo has gone with the series. And it really doesn't seem like you (or Bleach Wiki) wants insightful opinions at all, because when anyone points out how mind-numbingly stupid Bleach has become, you all get your panties in a wad. That's inviting bias, "everyone loves Bleach and Bleach loves us!", bullcrap. You want insightful? Start getting use to other people, who read the series, absolutely hating the guts out of the recent arc. Because, unless Kubo pulls his head out of his ass REALLY soon, half the fandom will be like this sooner or later.

Lastly:

"Ban me from the site if you feel I've offended you or your tastes in some way (I would hope that it wouldn't come to that, as that isn't my intention, and I really have no desire to return to TBF), but there it is."

Banning you for a difference of opinion would be an incredibly stupid thing for me to do, considering I never demand people have my exact opinion on everything. As long as you accept the fact that my opinion is very different, and don't go trying to snuff it out, I have no personal attachments to this argument.

And, last but not least, I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to go over there under any circumstances.

-

Now, I hope this hasn't ruined your night. You were very blunt and honest with me, so I was the same with you. I have no issues with you personally and thank you for speaking your mind and airing your grievances with me. Shows maturity and respect and I respect you immensely in return for it. Advice going forward; If I really piss you off that much, just ignore the comments when you see my name. I'm going to speak my mind.

That's just my nature.

Goodnight.
