More Offensive: Psylocke vs Fungi

**Come To Deathstrike** · 05-12-2012, 08:30 AM

If I was tucking into some delicious udon, and I took my first bite, but all that was in it was black pudding and boiled vegetables,I would be offended.

So what comics has this Fongji character been in thus far? Haven't been reading all the AvX crap but she seems interesting so what should I pick up to read her story thus far?

I'm going with Psylocke. She's the worst example of yellow fever in modern comics. Fongji on the other hand is actually pretty cool and comes with none of the baggage. If there are people screaming that she's a 'Jean clone,' then let them scream. Their outraged tears are delicious.

Thanks for the information.

Fungi > Fongji.

I'll start spelling her name right when autocorrect let's me.

Psylocke is never changed. She's clearly more authentic.

Dear Jean fans,

Give Fongji the proper time to develop and grow before you crucify her. She isn't a Jean Clone, she is a new character. Give a girl a chance!

Thanks all,

P.S. This Misspelling of Fongji's name and irrational mob mentality is only feeding the anti-Jean mentality. No one wants to bring back Jean because trolling the hard Core Jean Fans is simply too delicious.

In either case, it's offensive everytime a Jean fanhard purposely mispells the name.

Dear fod_xp
Please don't try and help me. I was doing just fine until now.
xoxo,
Fongji

I'm going with Fungi being "less authentic" since its a misspelling and misrepresentation of the character Fongji.

Trust me,Fod. We'll be trolled whether we take it lying down or not. Therefore, it's only rational to troll back.

Marvel really only cheats itself by cheaping its characters.

"Jean Grey Incorporated" does nothing positive for the readers or Marvel.

I answered Marvel's ridiculously increased collection prices and the fan trolling by buying comics from other companies. They had products I wanted, and so I bought them. I still keep close tabs on Marvel and have their books in my pull list, but they are lower on my pull list. I'm doing exactly what Joe Quesada told unhappy fans to do: "Don't like it, don't buy it." It's worked wonders for me.

**Quinnhop** · 05-12-2012, 08:45 PM

I really wish people would stop calling me a "Jean fan" just because I hate this new girl.

She's awful and her name is Fungi.

And what is it with all the butt hurt "it's fongji, omg don't make fun of her" bullshit. This is the fucking X-Boards.

FUNGI. FUNGIIIII. FUNNNNNNNGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Also, anyone that thinks Psylocke is offensive is sadly mistaken. She represents the literal representation of a subgroup of Asians we call "banana boys/girls", that is, a person of Asian heritage that is "yellow on the outside white on the inside". A clearer definition would be an Asian that atypically identifies or takes interest in Caucasian culture and interests.

*laughs*

I wish I was making this stuff up.

Anyway, you're all Racists! RACISTS! Asian haters! Yellow-oppressors!

Y'know, if I understood what exactly happened I'd have a snippy retort and then z-snap my fingers.

It's true. I just read a fictional novel about it.

I wasn't insulting you. I offer nothing but kinship to my Asian brethren.
