Tedious Zanarukando (born on November 8, 1979), is a Tennessean-South Carolinian erotophobic hardcore video game player, a cultural critic, media proponent and free speech activist, antifeminist (especially against radical feminism), a politically independent masculist, a family dissident, an anti-censorship person, an antifundamentalist, and a pro-beauty person. He is well involved in culture wars. He officially joined Wikipedia in July 2003 (at the age of 23). He is a crusader against video game censorship and misandrous culture. According to Wikipedia, he is of Generation X, but some sources state that he is of Generation Y. He was born at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee and raised in Laurens County, South Carolina, his mother's birthplace. He is the youngest and tallest of three sons. Only the middle of the three sons is a husband, as of April 2, 2000. He is of African-American, Native American (Blackfeet on his father's side and Cherokee on his mother's side), French (on his father's side), and Irish (on his mother's side) descent. His father was born (on December 2, 1943) and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and is the second of seven children. His mother was born in Laurens County, South Carolina, (on September 7, 1945) and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is the youngest of ten children. Many of his maternal relatives have served in the armed forces. His maternal grandmother's halfbrother served in World War I. Zanarukando has a maternal first cousin who served in the Persian Gulf War, and a maternal second cousin who is serving in the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Zanarukando's grandparents are deceased. His maternal grandfather, who was of the Lost Generation, died of lung cancer. His maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather were of the G.I. Generation. The former was married three times but she was survived by her last husband, who died five years later, and she died of natural causes. The latter died in a stairway accident, an unnatural death. Zanarukando's mother came from his maternal grandmother's second husband. Zanarukando's paternal grandmother was of the Silent Generation. She died of emphysema. Zanarukando's grandfathers are buried, but his grandmothers and stepgrandfather are cremated. His parents have diabetes. His father got diabetes in 1993. His mother got diabetes in 1999.
Zanarukando started school at Ford Elementary School in Laurens, South Carolina, in 1985. He was held back in kindergarten in 1986. He transferred to Hickory Tavern School (now Hickory Tavern Middle School) in 1988. He was assigned to special-education classes until college. In late 1991, he was upped from the Class of 1999 to the Class of 1998, reversing the effects of his kindergarten holdback. He graduated from Hickory Tavern School on May 31, 1994. He graduated from Laurens District 55 High School on May 26, 1998. He graduated from Piedmont Technical College of South Carolina with an Associate's Degree in Computer Technology on December 13, 2001. He was at his parents' home at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks. He woke up just before the attacks occurred. His sister-in-law graduated from that two-year college with an Associate's Degree in Surgical Technology on July 22, 2004. Like Dwight Eisenhower, Zanarukando was born and raised in a rather conservative Jehovah's Witness household, but he left Jehovah's Witnesses as an adult. He gave up his religious heritage for video gaming, hence an apostate gamer. Then he coined the term apostate gamer, based on this regard. He is opposed to that religious organization, deeming it too restrictive and as an authoritarian cult of Christianity. He accused Jehovah's Witnesses of criticizing his video game interests, similarly in the case of Michael Jackson's music video of "Thriller", and that their moral code is too restrictive for him and that it led him to misogyny. He is opposed to religious, feminist, and political censorship, especially when it comes to video games, and he is a video game proponent. He is aspiring to leave his parents' home, because of irreconcilable religious differences. He is much more unhappy with living in his parents' home than many other people who are leaving their parents' homes. For one thing is his dark memories, and that his parents treated him inferior to his relatives and acquaintances. All his family ties with his Jehovah's-Witness relatives have been severed, due to his opposition to the teachings of his parents' religion Jehovah's Witnesses, and his great opposition to censorship. Therefore, he has no ties with his parents, brothers, sister-in-law, or his close maternal relatives. Overall, he is currently more unhappy with his life than an average man.
American English is Zanarukando's native language. He speaks with an East-Tennessean accent. He has studied French since high school. He also studied Spanish in technical college. He has also been studying Japanese. Zanarukando has never visited a foreign country, except in 2001 when he visited Bahamas.
The screen name Tedius Zanarukando is his universal screen name, with variations such as Ted Zanarukando, Teddy Zanarukando, Braska Spira, and King Mananan. His full screen name is Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando. At TheFinalFantasy.com, he is called Braska Spira. The name of Tedius in the user name means one who does not believe in romantic love. He always gets turned down when it comes to develop a romantic relationship. The name of Zanarukando means a video game player who has given up religious faith or heritage for video games. This may be more commonly known as an apostate gamer. Its origin pertains to his favorite video game series, Final Fantasy (Zanarukando was introduced to Final Fantasy in June 1995 with Final Fantasy IV on the SNES, and to his second favorite game franchise SimCity a month later). Tedius is a variant of Tidus, the name of the main character of Final Fantasy X. Zanarukando is Japanese for Zanarkand, a Final Fantasy X location.
Zanarukando has misogynous tendencies. He has a Jekyll-and-Hyde type view toward the female sex. His faith in the female sex has been tainted by his parents, mostly by his mother. His parents have been accused of influencing him to be a misogynist. He believes that the United States is a female-chauvinistic country. He has a strongly masculine opinion. He is blind as to understanding women. His views toward women have been clouded by feminism and fundamentalism. Men are more likely to befriend him. Women are more likely to oppress him. He can get along with men well, but he has a problem with getting along with women. He is believed to have high-functioning autism by them, but he is not sensitive to gluten or casein, nor is he diagnosed with autism. Everytime he attempts a yearn for a romantic relationship, he always gets turned down regardlessly. Not only that but also that woman will turn against him.
Zanarukando entered into a workforce training center at a local South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Center on February 24, 2004. Then he would leave his parents' home in order to escape Biblical censorship from them, and to escape from restraint on free speech. He regards parental restriction on free speech to adult offspring as censorship. Zanarukando left South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Center on August 9, 2005. He has been job hunting since then. He attempted to seek the position of medical transcriptionist, but he found that the job opportunity was defeated by artificial intelligence technology. He had to begin to pursue another job field. He took the driver's knowledge test five times and then got his beginner driver's permit on December 1, 2006.
Zanarukando first played video games on his brothers' Atari 5200 in 1984. His last console is currently the Sony PlayStation 2. Zanarukando is an insanely avid fan of the Final Fantasy video game series. He was introduced to the Final Fantasy series in 1995. His first Final Fantasy game was Final Fantasy IV. He did not play any other Final Fantasy games until November 2000. His favorite video game is currently Final Fantasy X. He loves playing that game series more than anything, and he also plays several other video game series. He criticizes anti-Final-Fantasy people, for he detests religious and censorial anti-Final-Fantasy content (i.e. content encouraging restriction against that video game series) and organized religions that restrict video games (such religions are called conservative religions). Later in 1995, Zanarukando was introduced to the SimCity game series, starting with SimCity 2000. He first played the Fire Emblem series in 2002, before Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken was released in North America.
He also feels sorry for the Greek video game community. He detests the pro-censorship lobbying group called Parents and Grandparents Alliance, Inc. (or simply OutragedCitizens.org), accusing the group of attempting to violate the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
Since January 8, 2002, Zanarukando has been studying piano at Austin Academy of Fine Arts in Greenville, South Carolina, for he wants to play Final Fantasy songs on the piano, and become one of Final Fantasy's biggest fans. He participated in Austin Academy honors recitals since 2003. In the 2003 recital, he performed "Seventh Street Blues" (composed by Martha Mier). In the 2004 recital, he performed "Isle of Palms" (composed for an island of the same name). In the 2005 recital, held on June 4, 2005, he performed "Bridge Over Nishigawa" (composed by Dennis Alexander). As for the type of music he listens to, Zanarukando listens to R&B, jazz, Latin, classical, and video game music. His favorite R&B artist is R. Kelly. His favorite jazz artist is Norman Brown. His favorite video game musician is Nobuo Uematsu. His favorite Super Smash Brothers Melee character is Marth from the Fire Emblem video game franchise, his favorite of Nintendo's franchises. His favorite Nintendo character ever is Ayra, from the Super Famicom game Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, one of the video games he has been playing lately, and he wants Ayra to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He may refuse to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl if Ayra is not playable and Lip from Panel de Pon is playable in the U.S. version. His favorite video game character ever is Yuna from his favorite video game Final Fantasy X and his second favorite video game Final Fantasy X-2. He is currently learning to play "To Zanarkand" on the piano.
Zanarukando is passionate about computers. He is a versatile and high-end computer user. Wikipedia.org is one of his favorite Web sites, along with Wiktionary.org, RPGFan.com, TLHS.org, Longhair.org, TheFinalFantasy.com, Simtropolis.com, and GameFAQs.com. GameFAQs.com is his favorite Web site. His least favorite Web site is Almenconi.com, because it glorifies Christian-fundamentalist censorship (similar to that of his parents' religion) and it influenced him to give up religion for freedom of expression. He certainly hates Biblical censorship, especially when it comes to computer and video games. As a Wikipedian, Zanarukando specializes in the study of video games, computers, television, motion pictures, religion, music, and gender studies. He also gives full names of the famous people. He has excellent grammatical skills. He can type up to 96 words per minute. For video games, he is a very avid Final Fantasy fan and video game proponent. He has given up religious heritage for Final Fantasy. He is also opposed to censorship, especially video game censorship.
As for politics, Zanarukando has a neutral opinion on George W. Bush and on the 2003 invasion of Iraq. That is because he was raised in a Jehovah's-Witness household. As for copyright law, he is opposed to international copyright law and digital copyright legislation that conduct "chilling effects" upon free speech. He is opposed to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
As for gender studies, he has some misogynous tendencies. He is a masculist, and he is opposed to most aspects of the feminist movement. He is strongly against male disadvantages manipulated by legal force. He is opposed to matriarchy, especially female U.S. Presidency. He labels females who seem to be disguised as males (or defeminated women) as wannabe-males, and despises them, and also labels them tomboys. Therefore, he is a pro-beauty person who does not believe in romantic relationship.
Zanarukando's biases on controversial subjects are:
- In favor of: free speech, First Amendment to the United States Constitution, masculism, old school console emulation, fan translation, marriage strike, abortion, nudism, heterosexuality, short and long hair styles for men, long hair style for women, skirts for women, lenient dress codes, modernism, liberalism (mostly), and libertarianism.
- And against: censorship (especially video game censorship), short hair style for women, trousers for women, strict dress codes, feminism, women in combat, fundamentalism, and conservatism (mostly).
At message boards, he has been looked favorably by many but criticized by others. His volatile views on the female sex and his views on romantic relationships spread controversy throughout the boards. That has made it difficult for him to get along some boards.
Zanarukando uses Mozilla Web browser.
As a Wikipedian, Zanarukando primarily edits articles related to computer and video games, music, linguistics, motion pictures, television, comics (especially Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles related articles). He sometimes edits articles related to religion, gender studies, politics, and biography. He has excellent grammar skills. He can type very fast. He is aware of typographical and grammatical errors. He began to make Userboxes on June 5, 2006.
As a Wiktionarian, Zanarukando works mainly on the definitions, translations, and Romanizations. He inserts entries by topic.
Since January 8, 2002, Zanarukando has been studying piano at an academy in Greenville, South Carolina. Since 1997, he has been doing karaoke performances with his father at Whitten Center in Clinton, South Carolina. His father has been a regular karaoke performer since 1993 and regularly performs with a local steel drum band. Zanarukando has recently learned how to play "Star Wars Main Theme" and Final Fantasy X's "To Zanarkand."
On November 13, 2004, Zanarukando, along with his father and his brothers, hosted a karaoke contest show at the local fairgrounds exchange center in Laurens, South Carolina.
On January 17, 2005, Zanarukando, along with his father, did a karaoke show for Laurens Disabilities and Special Needs Board. On May 3-17, 2005, he attended a Money Smart class at the local vocational rehabilitation center.
On June 24, 2005, Zanarukando attended the Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy concert in Atlanta, Georgia.
On July 13, 2005, Zanarukando became an uncle, as his nephew is born to his older brother, who is between him and his oldest brother.
Due to his accussion of privacy invasion by his family on February 16, 2004, Tedius Zanarukando has requested that the names of his relatives should not be published without his permission. No copy of his formal introduction posted in the Internet forums he has attended should be ported to Wikipedia, including this user page, without his permission. That has happened before, and that resulted in a parental conflict. No one should dial his relatives telephone numbers without his permission.
