I am no match for the FORCES OF GEEKITUDE
TRANSFORMERS FRIENDS!
I totally relayed some of our conversation below to Three -- no leading statements at all, only that I was saying how it seems everything cool comes from Japan, like flying squirrels (this all came about because of today's Cute Overload picture of the momonga) and robots and Transformers.
Completely unbidden, he begins lecturing me that, "Well, Japan just makes the toys. If they hadn't invented the stuff in America, we probably would have no story and no toys here."
....
XD
I AM SUITABLY CHASTISED, GUYS.
I'm picturing that he's going to get to go to Katsucon and everyone will start chanting, "One of us, one of us, one of us..."

If he continues to walk down the path of Otaku, he will inevitably encounter follow otaku who are convinced that Transformers are Japanese and Hasbro is just "making knockoffs". [Edited to note: That bit was a direct quote. OMG THAT GUY MADE ME SO MAD I am still twitching with rage] These people are wrong and stupid, and should be scorned.
EDIT AGAIN: Sorry, I know it sounds like I'm harping on this. It's weighing on my mind a lot, like a mosquito bite that won't stop itching. Until I can dislodge it from my brain, it's going to keep haunting me.
yay mixed metaphors.
