2. There is no I in Freak.

Here is a funny story. When I was at the long line waiting to get into the convention, there was a girl and two boys behind me. She was a big fan of Manga. But the two other guys didn’t share her likes. At one point one of them said to the other “You see, we think all of them are freaks. But as now we are the only two that don’t like Manga, we are the freaks.”

I was amazed, That guy got the same idea that psychologists were chasing for years. There are no such thing as freaks, there are different minorities. If I go to a business convention I will feel weird, but if I go to a Manga convention I will feel at home.

Think about this next time you call someone a freak.
