こんにちは日本 - Famous in Japan?

I maybe semi famous in Japan, I don’t know, there’s no way of telling.

It started when some Japanese guy, Eiji Miyake, e-mailed me. It was really sweet, I think, I didn’t really understand his English that well... anyway, it’s a long story but he asked me to e-mail him a video – so I did. I’m friendly like that.

Eiji must have posted the video on some weird Japanese website because over the few weeks since this happened I picked up maybe 200 Twitter followers in Japan. Check out my Twitter and see for yourself, it’s so weird. And, as I don’t have many Twitter followers and don’t really tweet; I thought this was kind of cool.

Soon they started messaging and e-mailing me. So being a friendly girl I started trying to reply to some of the messages.

But there was a problem: I don’t speak Japanese.

So I tried using Babel Fish.

Basically, I’d enter what I wrote into Babel Fish, http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt
And translate it into Japanese and then paste it into twitter or an e-mail.

Then people started replying– but again, in Japanese.

I’ll get a message like this:
日本での「新卒＝就職資格」という図式が改善されるためには、正社員と非正規の待遇が平均化され、海外のように人の流動化を許容する就労環境にすることが第一ハードルでしょうね。

I’ll then copy it into Babel Fish and I’ll get a translation that reads like this:

“In order for the diagram, “new graduate = employment qualification” in Japan to be improved, don't you think? what is made the work environment where the regular member and non proper treatment are levelled, like the foreign country allow the fluidization of the person probably is the first hurdle.”

Huh? You can see the problem – the translation doesn’t make sense.

Which brings me to this realization.

If translating the Japanese into English produces this kind of crazy nonsense, what does translating my English into Japanese produce.

Probably nothing that makes any sense.

So what do I do now? Sometimes I’ll get a few messages a day from Japan and I can’t understand anything.

As an interim solution to my problem, when I get an e-mail from Japan I reply by e-mailing them a photograph of my ass. I try to please. I’m thoughtful like that.

And another problem: do they know I’m a tranny? Does the word transsexual make it through translation?

What’s a girl to do?

The whole thing is so crazy.

I like the idea of being famous in Japan, so I’ve started putting Japanese subtitles on my little soft core YouTube ‘art’ movies, you never know where this may lead, and if I never get a book deal, being famous in Japan would be a great ‘plan B’ – you can check out one of my Japanese subtitled videos here:

Let me know what you think.

I love Japan. I’d love to be Japanese, I’d even love to be an animie character. So my new ambition is to be famous in Japan for making fetish videos of my legs. I figure I need a hobby.

See the images that YouTube banned.

Homophobia on YouTube?

‘Busty babes in tiny bikinis’, lesbians exchanging sensual kisses,
women with 44DD busts in skin tight dresses touching each others lycra
clad breasts: you have to love YouTube, you can find nearly everything
there.

Except for some photographs of me – YouTube have just disabled three
of the videos that I put together as a self promotion because they
breached the ‘community guidelines’.

As an aspiring writer and author trying to get a book deal in a
competitive market I’ll use whatever I can to get attention. In my
case it’s my ass and YouTube.

My breach of the ‘community guidelines’- I can’t tell you what it is,
they haven’t told me. And under the ‘terms of use’ they don’t have to.

I have my suspicions as to why. In the videos were a few provocative
images of me, a couple with my panties around my legs and ankles –
I’ve attached a couple of the ‘offending’ images to this post. In them
I was wearing a second g-string, but the angle of the shot means you
can’t see them, so I wasn’t nude, it was just ‘suggested’ by the
image, see for yourself, the links are below.

I was telling another tranny friend about this, and she had another
theory; here it is: she thinks it’s because I’m a transsexual.

I kind of dismissed this at first, but when I thought a little more it
seemed to make some sense.

Women seem to be able to kiss and show their g-string clad arses and
scantily clad breasts and it seems to be fine with YouTube. But a
transsexual being just as provocative as a ‘real’ woman? Maybe they
don’t like that. Maybe they don’t know how to deal with that – and my
images are mild in comparison to what’s out there.

I hate to sound like a cranky, whining, trannny, complaining about
‘homophobia’ or whatever , I’m really not that kind of girl – but her
theory really makes sense, a lot of heterosexual men and women are
‘confronted’ , ‘uneasy’ or ‘intimidated’ by transexualism (if you know
what I mean). There’s a lot of discrimination out there. Maybe this is
the case here.

So perhaps they didn’t know how to deal with my images, so they
decided to disable them on the basis of some poorly defined ‘community
guidelines’. Have a look at the images and make up your own mind. Is
she right? Could it be homophobia (or whatever the transexual
equivalent is called) Maybe they do breach the ‘standards’ or maybe
she’s just a little ‘over sensitive’ about being a tranny, I really
don’t know – as I said, look at the images and judge for yourself.

You can bet that I wasn’t happy about being ‘disabled’ by YouTube, so
I didn’t leave it there. I’m such a trouble maker.

I’ve upped the stakes a little and posted a couple more videos that
really push the boundaries – just to see what happens.

One has me smearing whipped cream all over myself. The other has me in
the shower wearing nothing more than a red string bikini.

If you told me a week ago that I’d be making a video of me rubbing
whipped cream onto my belly to get my revenge upon YouTube I’d
politely ask if I could share what you had been taking… it’s
interesting really, can you actually make a point by rubbing whipped
cream onto your belly and wiggling provocatively? A nice warm shower
in a red bikini as revenge?

Take that YouTube.

God only knows how they’ll deal with those videos. You can check them
out by following these links if you like:

Watch them, better yet forward them. Make them a YouTube sensation –
success is always the best revenge, let’s see what they do when they
make the ‘most viewed today’ page. My bet is that they suddenly decide
that these videos also breach ‘community standards’.

Let’s just see what they do.

It drives me crazy. On-line ‘mainstream’ ‘communities’ and media can
be so conservative. This has happened to me before – Slide Share
deleted my account. Authonomy rejected my profile and my profile
image… the list goes on. It’s tedious. This is 2010 right?

I’d be interested to hear your stories on homophobia in digital
communities. Maybe it is real. Let me know if you have one, email me:
laviniadarling@gmail.com

Anyway, being even more provocative is my way of protesting. I’m not
sure what else to do. If you have any ideas let me know, I could do
with some advice as I’m not sure covering myself in whipped cream will
really prove anything to YouTube, (so I’m open to ideas) - I’m sure
the entire transsexual community would be grateful.

Any marketers, PR people, gay activists or digital people out there?

Hope to hear from you, let me know what you think.

Thanks
