So you’re a Filipino and you want to be a hit on Nico Nico Douga. Which of these choices is the right way to do it?

1. Work your way up an established hierarchy of fandom that is ruled by wannabe oligarchs who have no intention of stepping down from the only social arena they can feel LIKE A BOSS in;
2. Gain the backing of local corporations and commercial backers who have no idea how the fandom works and are only interested in making a quick buck off of your geek cred; or
3. Just post the damned video.

Go on. Guess.

Note: I’m aware that this is essentially the Pinoy version of the Chinese Backstreet Boys video from a few years ago. But if derivative work wasn’t allowed in fandom, Hatsune Miku wouldn’t be holding a leek all the time. Think about it.
