This is so funny I almost wee weed my pants. In his 2nd newest post, Darkmirage said something along the likes of "I am helping AFA08 compile a list of questions from fans in Singapore (and other English-speaking countries) to send to May’n." And he urged otaku to send questions via email to the official AFA organisers. Easy to understand right? Darkmirage obviously is being made use of to do some free translations and editing, in exchange for…. nothing besides the power to do editing of questions to some unknown singer!
It must be Darkmirage’s biggest dream to take time off from his upcoming A levels to do free work.
Anyway, when I first saw the post I laughed because I was sure people would be jealous of his "interview with May’n". Such is the lack of comprehension ability of the typical Singaporean (judging from previous incidents of course). According to my research, this group of otaku are very upset because…
"We are being treated like dogs. Why does DM have the power to censor us and choose what we can ask?"
"Why can’t our tiny unread anime blog with bad English and unfunny humour be allowed to interview a Japanese pop star?"
"Why can’t we get a media pass for all our 200 members of the Brotherhood of Singaporean Otaku with Blogs?"
"I am secretly jealous because I am the king of Singapore otakus, not DM!"
Darkmirage has clearly chosen his post title well. Anyway to answer the above questions,
1. Because you don’t know good Japanese, or English for that matter.
2. Because first of all, blogs are rubbish. Unless you get at least 10k visitors a day, then maybe that is of significance. But just a little bit. Your 500 daily hits blog is no more than some miniscule dirt on the Internet and your epenis confidence is unfounded. This blog also does not make me any otaku King.
3. I shake my head and mutter to myself at the sense of entitlement some people have. Seriously, you are not media. If the organisers give you a media pass, it’s because they are nice. Also, I don’t have a fucking media pass. Give me one already!!! Haha.
4. It’s completely undisputed that the largest anime SG blog now is Darkmirage’s, whether we like it or not. Even though all he blogs on is Code Geass and Gundam. It’s all based on meritocracy anyway, and I believe he has consistently delivered the dorama, humour, serious editorials and news in a nice blend.
Otaku politics at their best! The best part is, people are so anxious for a chance to interview some airhead singer who’s not even good. And if they get to interview, so what? They can’t come up with any decent questions, and the interesting ones will be censored off by her chaperone anyway. She’s not a seiyuu so you can’t ask about roles. I know the only reason people want to "interview" her is to take pictures together with her to show off on their blogs and up their epenis!
Come on, just because some otaku have tonnes of pictures with girls on facebook or HAHAHAHAHA MIXI HAHAHA (seriously, who uses a Japanese social website when he has no Japanese friends?) doesn’t make him any more cool than a trash bag full of wet curry mush. Man, people who always boast about their photo collection of themselves with lots of girls they claim to know (but actually don’t) are hilarious.
Otaku. Scum of the universe.
This post is made of FUCKING WIN!!!!

Huh what? And I was under the impression that DM is the beacon of Sg Otakus because everyone sees him as the zenith. Why the hate? I friggin love DM.
The hate gives dm street cred, he loves it.
So much hate on this site. I especially love your serious discussions, particularly the part where it tells me to “buy some artificial vaginas now!”
I’m not an otaku blogger nor an SG, so I have no idea what the fuss is about the interview, but man that advertisement just rubs me the wrong way.
I’ve just always wanted to say that.
Is it possible for you to replace the ad with something that doesn’t require me to make a lot of excuses if someone catches me reading this blog?
James, yeah I could since that ad doesn’t give money. But it sure as hell is funny. Besides, don’t you know hate is the new cool?
Omo: Indeed. Love is overrated and peons hating you means you are their king. Like RAOH!
Double: I take it that we have an unholy alliance!!
And tj_han likes dm’s cock, at least that’s what I understood from the text.
This post needs to be read in Japanese by Kugimiya Rie and animated by J.C. Staff.
Oh this makes me LOL.
The truth is: tjhan is secretly jealous of DM!
HAHAHA.
Who cares…
This so kiddish… Oops is that english?
@kokanaden
Actually he is trying please DM so that DM would help him get a media pass.
I told DM not to be nice, but he didn’t heed my advice. How awesome.

Hits the nail on the head. I don’t know about all this DM wash but this paragraph glows with truthiness.
having 666 comments is awesome.
I really dont see why this has all gone out of hand however. its not as though anime blogging is our day job and that DM being able to ONLY compile the questions being asked will make him the new secret public enemy.
Yaaaaawn…..so what is is new?
Wow, six whole words and I couldn’t even be bothered to get that sentence right. I guess that shows my true level of interest in these blogging poltics. I’ll just be going now….
I like turtles.
Who’s May’n ? *blink*
Uh… what’s going on? I don’t see any hate-filled posts anywhere.
Okay, where’s the dorama?
Yeah, this dorama is not working out. I guess being so ambiguous with the targets makes it quite unfunny except to those in the loop.
Helix and Stifler, the drama is all underground unfortunately. I risk death and disease by exposing this to the public!
Out of sight, out of mind.
i lol’d
I seriously loved this part. “Man, people who always boast about their photo collection of themselves with lots of girls they claim to know (but actually don’t) are hilarious.”
Why go through all the hassle of making up a lie just to be some pimp king? (Not that we care anyway)
Really? You don’t like May’n? Her work in Macross Frontier was fantastic.
