I've just discovered that this blog echoes some of my sentiments about Magibon-chan, on whom I wrote a blog entry a couple of weeks back. The latest entry in this blog – Magibon – is she is genius? – informs us that a new Magibon clip has recently been posted. Here it is:
Here are some comments I found here about the hate directed towards Magibon:
The bullying of MRirian is not an isolated event. America, as a whole, is not proud of gentleness. Magibon is merely the latest target of this bullying. If she did not exist, the hatred WOULD still exist, and would simply be directed toward some other victim. After MRirian and YouTube no longer exist, the hatred and bullying will still be here seeking new targets.
Not all of the hatred of Magibon comes from America. Possibly most of it does. She has been bashed recently by some popular Australian, and probably some English, videomakers on YouTube. So I cannot blame it all on America. …
Magibon does not deserve to be bullied. Neither do Iraq and Afghanistan. I will make a wager with you, my European friends. I will bet you that the majority of the most hateful bullies toward Magibon are flagwavers going around displaying “Proud To Be American” signs and t-shirts, and “Support Our Troops”, and wearing military camouflage clothing.
Elsewhere, from the same post:
And yet – even though she doesn’t deserve your hate, and even though she’s just an “ordinary” girl, NOT an instrument of corporate power – even so, that girl has REALLY got something. And we think that this, not a hoax or scam theory, is the true explanation of Magibon’s popularity. She has a talent, an artistic self-assurance, an indefinable charisma, a hypnotic grace, a quality of total serenity – and these things are all her own, not the product of a corporate advertising promotion, but her own thing. She should be celebrated, and America, the country of her birth, should be proud of her.
I agree.
(PS. I think this one is my favourite clip so far. It's fucking hilarious.)
