Tedius Zanarukando (born on November 8, 1979), an erotophobic hardcore video game player, video game proponent (or media democracy activist), antifeminist (especially against radical feminism), masculist, and a pro-beauty person, officially joined Wikipedia in July 2003. 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. His father was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and is the second of seven children. His mother 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 was of the Lost Generation. 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. Zanarukando's mother came from his maternal grandmother's second husband. Zanarukando's paternal grandmother was of the Silent Generation.
Zanarukando 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. 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 raised as a Jehovah's Witness as a child, 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. Therefore, he is one the left-wing side of the video game controversy, and he detests those who are on the opposite of the controversy. 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.
The name of Tedius in the user name means one who does not believe in romantic love. 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. 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. 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 country where males are being oppressed. He has a strongly masculine opinion. He is blind as to understanding women. 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 Asperger's Syndrome by them.
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.
Zanarukando is an insanely avid fan of the Final Fantasy video game series. 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). 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, he 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. 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. 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.
Zanarukando is passionate about computers. He is a versatile computer user. Wikipedia.org is one of his favorite Web sites, along with Wiktionary.org, RPGFan.com, TLHS.org, TheFinalFantasy.com, and GameFAQs.com. GameFAQs.com is his favorite Web site, but he does not attend its Internet forum because it is too strict for him. His least favorite Web site is Almenconi.com, because it glorifies Biblical 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 gender studies, he has some misogynous tendencies. He is a masculist, and he is opposed to most aspects of the feminist movement. 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.
As a Wikipedian, Zanarukando's primary interests are electronic games, motion pictures, television, and comics. He has excellent grammar skills. He can type very fast. He is aware of typographical and grammatical errors.
As a Wiktionarian, Zanarukando works mainly on the definitions and translations. He inserts entries by topic.
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.
