This (IIRC) imported Overcoming Bias post has mangled text encoding ("shōnen anime than shōjo", including a high control character; the structure suggests that this is UTF-8 data reinterpreted as some other encoding, then converted to HTML character references). This suggests that there may be a general problem, in which case all the imported OB posts should be fixed en masse.

Indeed, as Psy-Kosh suggests, that's a LW original.

Perhaps it would have helped if Eliezer had used waapuro-style romanization, or modified Hepburn, as is right and proper (when kana are not acceptable).
