These two things have nothing to do with each other
Anyone who doesn't see why smooshing names together when it comes to fandom ships is stupid needs to look no farther than Avatar fandom and Sukka. Good Lord.
Although I kinda like Kataang simply because it makes me think it's a cool sound effect.
Aaaaand the comments on this ANN article amuse the shit out of me. Instead of people LOLing at some dude who wants to file an age discrimination lawsuit against a library that simply fucked up and didn't properly advertise that its manga/anime club was for teens only, and then wouldn't let him join it when he showed up, there's a ton of commenters who are taking the whole thing really personally because they happen to be anime fans who are past their teen years, too.
My favorite comment:
The part where he files a complaint for being told that the club is for teenagers only? OH NOES! He wasn't allowed into the club! Call out national guard to force the library to let him in! Where's Lyndon Johnson when you need him?! It's tiresome the way people go around saying "I should be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and if you don't let me, OMG! my rights have been violated! SUE TIME!"
Me? I don't care if he was treated rudely when he tried to join in. That's a customer service issue, not a legal one.
In summary: CRY MOAR.
