That is IotY caliber material.

I should be more bothered by the fact that my immediate reaction is "What's so special about this? This guy is pretty representative of modern anime fans, actually. Of course he's a fucking moron."

I'd make a comment about "what about western comics" here, but that guy doesn't seem interested in the fully developed adult women that comics oversexualize.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

So...if I get the situation entirely straight based on Trance and Shale's links that caused some level of brain hemorrhaging....

New Anime comes out, one that is potentially aimed at female audiences, with yaoi undertones, and has no real sexualization of underaged girls in it, has caused a number of male anime fans to riot because...one showed dared to not be aimed at them?

If this isn't accurate, it's because I don't know the full situation and don't wish to read up anymore on it because I'm already suffering from what little I have read!

Western Comics are no longer sufficiently male-oriented anymore. Did you know that Hawkeye isn't only about Hawkeye, but it's also about a GIRL HAWKEYE?!?! I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK.

Basically? Yes, you'd be correct.

That's it. I'm done. This person has ruined 10 years of the enjoyment I ever got out the great and mediocre works of anime. Rumiko Takahashi's comedy, Miyazaki's whimsy, Satoshi Kon's thought-provoking weirdness, hell even Gainax when it was good... I just feel dirty being associated with someone like this.

I really like the stylization of anime art, but if this is really what it's come to be about, I feel like it isn't worth trying to separate the wheat from the chaff anymore.

I'm going to go take a shower now.

Man. How are you still a gamer?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #189 on:** August 23, 2013, 09:00:45 PM »

By not reading other gaming forums, apparently...

This one is just particularly disgusting to me.

A more complete answer would be: This isn't my only problem with anime, there's a few things about it that have been bothering me lately, along with waning interest. This terrible person/phenomenon within the anime community is just the straw that broke Djinn's tolerance for idiots.

Fenrir · « **Reply #190 on:** August 23, 2013, 10:26:39 PM »

If you want to be disgusted by gaming in a similar way

Look up the flash game about beating up Anita Sarkeesian

I did.

Also, I get what Djinn is saying, but srs don't let other people ruin a hobby for you. That's just as stupid as whatever horseshit comes out of their mouths.

Just never go on forums. Only go to Furcon afterparties. Tell any other guy in your four ways that he has to wear a ball gag. Most important remember that she is mai Waifu so fuck you how dare you imply that sunlight has ever touched her pristine vagina.

Phew, Roe v Wade passed right about the time I was conceived. That was a close one. Now I have a free pass to perform any crime I want.

Also regarding Bradley/Chelsea Manning, the internet being awful is not news. But Manning isn't exactly helping herself by announcing it immediately after the trial.

Lady Door · « **Reply #196 on:** August 24, 2013, 07:30:15 AM »

When should she have announced it? After she was placed in the all-male facility to begin her sentence?

Shale · « **Reply #197 on:** August 26, 2013, 03:40:48 PM »

And requesting a name change during the trial presumably would have gone over like a lead balloon with the judge.

NotMiki · « **Reply #198 on:** August 26, 2013, 05:36:34 PM »

It shouldn't have played any part in deciding guilt, but judges are allowed to consider virtually any factor in sentencing, certainly including present circumstances. Announcing it right after trial smacks of gamesmanship - obviously the timing of the announcement was based on trial. I would think it would have been better to announce it earlier rather than waiting until the world was watching. Now it seems like a political or tactical move rather than a natural one.

Shale · « **Reply #199 on:** August 26, 2013, 05:42:09 PM »

Wouldn't it have been more of a gamesmanship move to switch names/pronouns before sentencing, then? It seems to me she waited this long to make that move (although we've known Manning was trans for years, that part's not new) specifically to avoid implications like that.
