I Just Realised Why I Don't Like Ozzalos' Fanfics
I Just Realised Why I Don't Like Ozzalos' Fanfics

And it isn't that he is obsessed with making Ranma a girl. That's just a symptom.

I will demonstrate my problem with this paragraph from his latest story:

Quote:

Setsuna Meiou walked into the Fuchu branch of The Bank of Tokyo like she owned the place. Lavender high heels clicked as she walked through
the lobby and found herself a teller, their sound effectively drawing the attention of any male within earshot while her figure did the rest. While the cut
of her business jacket and skirt would be considered modest, they hugged her body in a way that enticed. The package not only failed miserably to hide her
curves, but her ample bosom seemed to strain against the white blouse.
After reading this paragraph I realised something. This paragraph appears in every single Ozzalos story. Or something very much like it. Ozzalos
writes about all his female character this way. All of them. They are all hyper-feminine to the point of ridiculousness. Inevitably every description contains
a loving or five about their clothes, which is inevitable about how sexy they are. These inevitable comments about how sexy the character looks inevitably
include sentences pointing out how all the men in the area turn into drooling idiots (inevitably).

It's like reading a paragraph long description of the Gainix Breast Jiggle. Its sexualized, just short of softcore pornography fanservice of the worst
kind. Maybe prose just exacerbates the problem, because I know fanservice occurs in anime and manga often but a single picture of a sexy woman just doesn't
interupt the flow of the story as much as taking two or three paragraphs to describe a character's sexy butt waggle as she walks through a room.

And its all the same. I also wouldn't mind it if he varieated the manner he describes his women. But I swear the next time I read "miserably fail to
hide her curves" I'm going to shot someone. Doesn't he realise that woman can be beautiful and attractive and arousing in ways that have nothing
to do with walkign around in high heels, flashing their cleavage and wearing tight skirts that show off too much thigh? I've seen pictures of women that
were smoking hot that showed almost nothing in the way of lfesh or curves. I've read descriptions of women that made them feel sexually attractive that
never once mentioned curves or drooling guys.

The fact that he then proceeds to do this to every female in the series, regardless of whether it makes sense or not just makes me groan. This, I have
discovered, is why he has so many Ranma Is Girly stories. He can't have a woman in the story who doesn't do the Sexy Strut at least once, if not
multiple times. It doesn't matter if that woman is actually a guy. Sexy Struts for everyone!

Ugh.

Oh well, I think I've wasted too much time on this already.
