What better way to start your weekend than to read some of my hate mail - or hate "comments"...

i don\'t care what you do danny, whether you decide to waste your time & money on toys, degrading female figurines, and japanese idols... the question that i find myself constantly asking, is: how does your wife feel about all of this? with your penchant for scantily clad women, does she ever feel inadequate or does she ever wonder whether she\'s good enough? why else would you spend time on such things? i don\'t know how your marital relationship is, whether your wife accepts these things in silence or you have a mutual understanding (you do your thing she does hers) - whatever the state of your relationship is in - i find it somewhat upsetting. you may not be cheating on your wife physically, but can she be certain that if someone better (no matter how attractive your wife may be- there is always better) came along - you wouldn\'t mess up your relationship with your wife? or is it all about \"the physical\" and emotionally- your wife takes centre stage- because i don\'t really buy that... anyway, as a fellow human being who cares (about your wife\'s well-being), i just wanted to get you to think about these things and perhaps reconsider. if your relationship is perfect, and your wife has no beefs, then disregard what i said. i, personally, wouldn\'t want this kind of relationship for myself.

This is fantastic! I have people wanting to manage my money, website, hobbies and interests and now I have somebody who wants to manage my marriage! Im flattered. All I need now are some people to come out and offer me advice about my career and parents too. Maybe I should rename this category to "lurve mail/comments" or something.
The above comment was left under this post by a "concerned". Anyway, a few personal messages for "concerned" from me...
  1. My wife read your comments (shes an avid reader ^o^) and said you've got too much time on your hands worrying about her (ouch!) "暇過ぎ"だって。
  2. Its obvious that you have spent much time on my blog and wonder why you keep coming back when I continue to upset you?
  3. I am touched my your kind thoughts for being concerned about my marriage but I suggest that you spend less time worrying about somebody who upsets/agitates you and start to invest some of *your* time thinking about *your* own life instead. You must have goals and destinations in life. Life is short - too short to be wasted on somebody as low as me. There is obviously nothing positive that I can contribute to your life. Screw Danny! Start living your own life instead of others - advice from a "fellow human being".
  4. Please use line breaks when you compose mail or messages - its makes it easier to read.
You want more? lol

Man Danny Choo you are a dumass. Fu*king Gook all you care about is money youre just like all the other chinese commies in the world. I cant believe people actually except a foreigner like you in Japan! First of all youre from England second youre not even Japanese! Youre just some asian wannabe that wants to be Japanese because your own chinese heritage sucks so much ass.

That one was also left under the same post. So, According to this person who calls him/herself "n*gga", I'm not allowed to care about money, not allowed to be in Japan and am a F*cking gook because I come from a Chinese background. Hmmm I see. Looks like we have another person spending too much of their time on people they hate instead on themselves.

You can read about folks calling me this n that in forums too LOL.

So, I guess todays take away is the same as always - you cant please everybody. Whatever you do, you will please some but at the same time unintentionally agitate others just for being yourself. But the important thing is to carry on doing what you do and dont stop just because the minority hurl stones. Society will always have these folks - you encounter them at school, work etc. Heck we should probably be grateful for their existence because each encounter we have with them, we learn and grow a little.

Hey, first time poster, long-time reader :)

I find the first person's comments far too contradicting to his/her statements. But yeah, it's always nice to have people interested in managing your life (sarcasm :P).

The second post is just hilarious. It's been a while since I've read something that is as incoherent as that. Isn't "gook" a racial slur that refers to Koreans? - No offence to Koreans. Actually I love Korean culture.

Love your blog/site by the way :) keep it up.

Ah yes, the people who like to manage the things you do Danny.  They never cease to amaze me and entertain me at the same time!

These are the kinds of people that can't stand others cause they're so different from everything else that they feel they should do the "right" thing.  Like managing Danny's marriage! XD

It's pretty ridicules seeing people coming here even though they hate it.  I guess they have to like it in order to just go away.

Anyways, thanks for the entertainment Danny.  This really made my day.

For those who sent the hate e-mails. Five words for you: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. A lot of people enjoy reading this site. This site gives us anime fans and  japanese toys fans an idea on whats latest in Japan. Since I personally cant be there in Japan, Danny's site gives me the opportunity to enjoy what Japan has to offer. *maybe next year I can see it with my own eyes*.

Wow that is really something. I mean you must be doing something right to garner so much of a following that people would actually take their time to voice their concerns. It's funny how alot of people who critisize others because of their lifestyle do it because they cannot match it themselves. 
So I salute you Danny, continue the good job, and to the other posers, as a token of my Chinese heritage to you: 去你的.

In response to the troll of the first hate mail... you shouldn't even need to worry about Danny's relationship since reading your pitiful email to begin with, we can already assume you're a very pathetic and lonely person.  Who the hell acts as a marriage counselor for someone you don't even know personally after reading their blog?  Seriously, you should get some help.  


In response to the racist troll of the second hate mail... jealous?  Money is MEANT to be spent you douche, don't tell others how to live thier lives just because you can't have what they have.  Also, you could atleast put some thought and effort into your mail... you flame like a kid who just hit puberty.  Pretty much you fail at life kid.


Lurked for sometime... first post here.  Always been a great site with good info and read.  I'm sure that I don't have to tell you to not worry about these junk mail from these failures.  Your life is yours to live.  Keep up the good work.

you know Danny, sometimes hate mail is a good measure of success. you'd have to be somewhere high up for someone to want to put you down. ^^ they try hard to find some points to attack you at, but often time they just end up looking like a ranting lunatic. lol. I guess that can only mean that you're doing something right. ^^
although I must say, it's great that you have such a positive attitude on this. its the attitude like you have here that gets people farther up the ladder of life.
(ID #40155) Posted on 2007/01/02 01:23
LOL!!!
(^o^)

It s common to all blogs: You just put few pics of your wife, just write few superficials things about your life, and suddenly you got folks who know enough  through your blog to judge your couple!

Anyway hrrr... I just wonder Danny: if you wife is fed up and want to throw away your rubbish, just tell her to contact me, i will drop by your house to clean up all your babies toys for free!^^ I ll take the apple too, so you could spend more time with her.^0^

Haters will always hate no matter what. Its what they live off of, they wake saying "Time to go hate." Its like a job for them whether there in your office, off the interwebs, whatever. As they always say though, just shrug them haters off.

This is otaku life, haters don't like it because they want to be in it. Haters hate what they can't do. *lol*

This is my first time leaving a comment here.
I have been following the discussion on your website for the past 3 months and I must admit that I really enjoy myself here.
I get to see things/events/images which I would never get to experience it for the next 5 to 10 years.
It was wonderful of you to share your experience with all of us who are interested in Japanese arts and cultures.
I think that you did a good job by being just yourself, doing what you love and sharing with one another.
Just disregard those hate mails, you never know that deep down in their heart, they may be envy of your achievement as they could not do what you have and tried to mislead you away from the path of truth.
Do continue on with your blog as you are bringing wonders to other peoples life out there including myself.
Thanks again and I wish you and your wife all the best in your endeavour.

All those people are simply frustrated.
They need to criticize your life or to give you some "good advices" because they don't feel as well as they may say in their own life...
Poor frustrated people...
What I've been learning with your website Danny is that you can have a good job, a beautiful woman, friends and whatever you want, and in the same time you can live with your passions and hobby without worrying about what people may say.
Those frustrated people just can't do that, and that's why they don't understand you, and finally they hate you...
Poor frustrated people... ;)

Whats the deal with that first guy? He seemed so prude, I find it hard to believe that he ever visits your site in the first place! (Surely he knows you often have sexy pics floating around).

As for that ingorant racsist fool, he doesnt seem to now anything about Japan/ Asia / U.k. anyway, so I wouldnt be bothered if I was you...

Respect your general honesty, which is what I think offends people. You say you like money, you say you like idols and pervy figures. They must be thinking how can he get away with it and not be some sad loser without a wife. So they attack you. Also some are just plain ignorant.

There are probably two main reasons why you get hate mail and most Japanese culture bloggers don't.

The first is popularity naturally.

The 2nd is scope. Because you also talk about other stuff beyond otaku culture, people who are not into it stumble upon your site through google, forum links or other avenues and are turned off. My own site has almost exclusively nerdy visitors lol who share the same mindset.

It's also easy to flame when the guy got himself all covered up with the mask of internet.

And finally, your new avatars rock. The old ones blew.

Great job Danny.. I read your site everyday. I'm addicted and my shrink thinks I love you. 
Anyways, the haters are just bigots (I actually looked for the correct spelling of bigot, unlike the bad spelling-haters). My shrink thinks the first one must have wife issues and the other one has to be part of the KKK. By the way, my shrink likes Otaku and thinks you are great too. He says he likes the website, but I see how he constantly checks the beach pics. 

Politics aside, those haters are probably the only 2 people that voted for BUSH are currently unemployed and got left by their wife for a successful Chinese man.

I definitely can see how having such a wonderful, cool and understanding wife will make some envious.  It reminds me of how supportive my old girl friend was when I was studying in the States, as she used to tell me, "It's better to be spending money on Gundams than bad stuff like drugs."

And for the record, she was a babe and yes, she loves Gundams.

Wahh so many comments about this, so I'll just talk about something else. I just pre-order a nintendo wii and that makes me happy.  Super Happy in fact. Just wanted to share my happiest with everyone. So good day (or night depending on where you are) everyone.
