the Great Snipping Debate :D

OMG. *rolls* hahaha.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/fanficrants/1537726.html

The Fandom Thought of the Day, for You Lemon Writers:

-unless they're Jews or Americans, most anime characters are not going to be circumcised.

-If they're Japanese, unless they have a medical condition, they're not going to be circumcised. Same for Europe, and a lot of other places.

-If the show doesn't even happen on Earth, haha.

-[livejournal.com profile] randomsome1: "On the rant's general theme: I've seen fanart/fics where Gaara from Naruto was described as cut. Societal habits aside - How did the artists/authors expect the procedure to have actually worked?"

[livejournal.com profile] birdzilla : "Circumcision may logically be popular in Suma for the presumed hygiene factor (sand gets everywhere, and I tend to assume that in any desert culture, you don't bathe every day because that's wasting water), but even if every other man in the village was cut, you wouldn't be able to do that to Gaara, would you?

I think that was my new fandom-thought for the day. Thank you."

XD *imagines doctor coming anywhere near newborn!gaara's boybits with pointy things*

*totally cracks up*


edit:

[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: Only in fandom would people spend time debating about circumcision. Good God.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: actually the debate pops up often
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: ... just not about the likelihood of someone managing to snip Gaara
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: *snorts* The mental images, goodness...
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: You mean the sand didn't do that, too?
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: ...
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: It cut up his forehead; why not his boybits?
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: it didn't cut it so much as sandblasted it.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: ... *crosses legs*
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: owwwwwwie
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: ...shit, that'd hurt.
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: No wonder Gaara's so grumpy

the return of edit:
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: itachi...
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: omg.
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: We know Itachi has wanker problems. But, um, teh killing all over circumcision? Wouldn't he get over that by the time he's thirteen?
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: that's the time he's startng to masturbate seriously
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: "omg evil clan who dared to rob me of a good wank"
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: ...
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: ROFL
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: seriously, if he could have evacuated his tensions more effectively he would have been so much more peaceful.
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: ...he'd be the only famous ninja to ever go to battle with a kunai in one hand and the other shoved down his pants.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: ....
[livejournal.com profile] theninjakitty: ...hand, I mean. Not kunai. He's not that much of a masochist.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: this goes to the post as well. Just so you know.

You give me wonderful bad memories of the rabbi in Robin Hood: Men In Tights.

Doctor 1: You do it!
Doctor 2: No, no, you're the head doctor, you do it!
Doctor 1: I like my hands attached, thanks.
Doctors: *squabble*

1) Well, if it's not even on earth, who knows what their hygeine practices are?

2) ...I dunno, his mum might approve of that. I mean, most mothers make that choice themselves. Although I hope she didn't, um, take it on herself to carry out the operation post mortem, because ow. No wonder Gaara's so grumpy. O_o

That gave me so many funny bad images.

cut!Gaara... *dies of funny*

[identity profile] windandwater.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
D:

These thoughts do not make Gaara Zen!

[identity profile] mikkeneko.livejournal.com 2005-12-12 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
1) ...but they might have other reasons for it. It's not out of the question. Cultures from all over do weirder things to their bodies than a cut. And don't lecture me on the immorality of circumcision, k? I know the debate.

2) Eh heh heh.

*dies of teh funneh. also of teh gross*

This was something that never, EVER occured to me. Does this mean I'll have to re-write my Naru/Gaa/Neiji fic of super explicit smutiliciousness to include...FORESKIN? So now my fic will be less teh sexy and more teh funny. Because, honestly. Foreskin is an inherently funny word.

F.O.R.E.S.K.I.N.

Actually, originally it was done (through the mid to late 70s) in the US as a hygenic practice. Someone got the wise idea around the turn of the century, I think it was, and soon it was being done to all little boys regardless of the parents' religion(s). Only in the past twenty or so years have doctors started asking mothers for their opinion, and I do have friends who are not jewish but had their sons circumsized anyway, I suppose out of a lingering belief that it's more hygenic. (The issue of sanitation is not as much a problem these days, due to running water being available in the majority of homes now, for instance.)

But it did result in a hysterical moment for a friend of mine, who was born in 63 and therefore was cut -- his son wasn't. Poor five year old walks into the bathroom as Dad's taking a piss, sees Dad's penis, pulls his pants open and sees his own, and promptly burst into tears. Because, y'know, cut and uncut look nothing alike, and poor Trevor thought he had a growth and was Going To Die.

It was trauma. Utter trauma, I tell you.

While I and Trevor's Mom stood around and did our best not to burst into hysterical laughter because, y'know, a man and his penis. We nearly did lose it when Dad explained gravely to his son that someday, girls would think he was bigger because he hadn't been cut, and this was A Good Thing. *snorts*

That could be the most crack moment from Gaara history ever.

Gaara: "I remember the first person I killed..."
Temari: "Uhm.... actually, the first person you killed was the doctor who tried to circumcise you when you were a baby. I kind of doubt that you remember that."
Gaara: 0_o

I have to wonder, though, how the discussion would go if Gaara ever saw Kankuro taking a leak during a mission or something. There's just no good way to talk about that sort of thing, unless it was post-Naruto-beatdown.

... This is the second time in four days somebody talks about circumcision. This is a bad omen.

In Naruto, maybe they do that with bloodline babies? I mean, they are strict and all... and ... oh god I was kidding, circumsed!Itachi does not bode well with my mind. The poor Weasel. ... My mind is tainted. FOREVER.

[identity profile] rainbowlasers.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
... Oh, god, ow. Kunai. Down his pants. Just. Ow.

Well. Um. That'd also explain Sasuke's crankiness? And Neji's! Not only do they cage him with the bird thing but with ... um.

... I would say I'm sorry but really? I'm not.

Is please to stop making me think things like this about Itachi when I am attempting to write him into a serious fic. Much thanking. *bows*

*dashes off to crack up laughing, yet again*

[identity profile] sarolynne.livejournal.com 2005-12-13 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Now I'm waiting for that to happen with my nephew, since my brother is cut (by my grandfather's request, because he had to have a circumcision as an adult; more than I ever wanted to know about that, so I share), but nephew is not.
