In my personal favourite bit of weeb news this week. It seems C.B Cebulski used to pretend to be a little Japanese boy who learned English growing up reading capeshit, and then came to America to write super-weeby capeshit like that Kitty Pride mini where she was a ninja.
>This week Cebulski, a white man, finally acknowledged the rumors about “Akira Yoshida” and admitted that he had, in fact, pretended to be someone that he is not. In a statement provided to Bleeding Cool’s Rich Johnston—who’d been following the story for some time—Cebulski explained that he created Yoshida out of a desire to pivot away from editing, a job he once held at Marvel, to writing full time. Said Cebulski:
>The admission comes after multiple insistences from people within Marvel that Yoshida was a real person who was not Cebulski. As Johnston points out, Cebulski himself went so far as to insist that he’d “seen” Yoshida within Marvel’s offices and at various conventions, but at no point did he make an effort to explain that he was speaking about himself.
The best part is that he used a typical comic-book writer way of naming himself.
>popular animu + the one Japanese X-Men = original
