Has anyone watched the Venus Angelic videos on youtube? It's really fucking scary! I'm sure everyone out there can admit to having some sort of an obsession. I'm guilty of knowing more about Transformers than you and possess a deep seated love for A Song Of Ice and Fire. If you don't admit to anything, stop reading this and go looking the fucking mirror, and reevaluate your life! But honestly... this girl is 15 years old and is obsessed (well obsessed isn't a strong enough word, but I'll use it) with Japanese culture. She's from the U.K. and is a skinny blonde chick, but she's basically turned herself in a caricature of Japanese culture to the point that she even created this bullshit "accent." Seriously check out her youtube videos. What scares me though is that it's clearly not a healthy lifestyle and she's getting no help. I'm not a doctor, but even I can step back and say, "WHOA!" Her mother is okay with it and even encourages it and lets these creepy men online skype with her and leave creepy comments on her videos. Now I try to be an open minded person and I should be the last person to tell someone that they can't live their life in whatever way pleases them, but something about this girl screams unhealthy and really hits on so many things that are wrong with this world. She's not accepting herself, she's created a "persona," shall we say, that doesn't accept reality, and she's obsessed with a part of Japanese culture that really only represents a very small portion of the population. It's okay to be deeply interested in something; we all are, but to create a life for yourself where reality is now the second option scares me. Make your videos, little scary not Japanese girl, that might actually be from Venus, teach me how to make sprinkle lips and Sailor Moon hair, but please stop talking in this ridiculous voice and molding yourself after something that is based more in cartoons than real life. You are free to live your life, but make sure its your life. Balance yourself with your interests. And for my own personal sanity, please stop squinting and making peace signs at the camera.
