Now She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named has been arguing with a guy re: translators being credited in reviews, and just being the disingenuous f**k she always is.

The thread's so long an archive will only show the first few tweets, but here. You just have to read the full thread unarchived to really see it.

"Also, without Utsumi's love of upper bodies, those boys spend way too much time fully clothed. It's just not fun anymore." -Caitlin Moore on Free!
Remember that next time she or anyone else whines about fanservice.

lmao they're beating Katrina's ass in the replies and QRTs. meanwhile the tweet from Nick she's quoting has only two QRTs (including hers) and no replies. To be fair he was posting a manga page, not asking for her opinion on them scary bikini magazines (which is no different from the porn mags America has been selling for decades, but I digress).

Here's their 28 item list. Don't think I disagree with any of them. LOL.:

Why They Suck​

1. It is basically a rip-off of CNN, except for anime.
2. Elitism runs rampant within the community.
3. The editorial and journalistic team is very snobby and morally holier than thou.
4. Many of the users and staff are associated with a notorious underground anime forum Colonydrop who is notable for its elitism, nostalgia pandering, and cynical nature towards all anime.
5. They demonize anime fans who visit sites such as WatchCartoonOnline or kiss anime and they actively enforce people to buy anime DVDs or else. They also do so on the pretext that the anime industry is dying and that piracy is causing it even though anime fans can watch as much from the free streaming sites as much as they want and still be able to support the anime industry through non-financial means. Also ironically this was how many anime fans were able to watch these shows as there were not many ways to watch anime or read manga like there is now.
6. "The Answerman" section is very poorly researched and often appears to biased towards their own progressive agenda instead of showing what is life like in Japan or the anime industry.
7. Zac Bertschy was one of the most notorious staff members on the site for not only his progressive SJW views but for also his elitist weeaboo like nature.
8. They also are very anti moe anime as well believing it should be banned and the ones who enjoy it be demonized.
9. Very poor handling of reviews of anime and manga.
10. They try to make the anime community be viewed as normal people but in reality, the otaku community has its roots in ostracisation and underground culture, and is very desperate to make its attempts looking like normal people when they are really in self-denial.
11. Ironically discourages the global interactivity with those who would like to adopt the anime style, unabashedly and baselessly criticize those who do it well to get a pretty penny out of it and encourage such hate because their staff is Japanese purist hypocrite weeaboos that like to think they have a well broad basis and formation of anime and artistic appreciation when they are really nerds who live out of their basement and indulge in the septic tank of their delusional sunshine of the mind.
12. They support KickVic and have called Vic Mignogna supporters like Clownfish TV Nazis and they also sent a DMCA to Hero Hei's YouTube channel which got successfully countered by Nick Rekita.
13. Anybody who does disagree with them gets attacked.
14. They can be very intimidating and have no sense of accountability or responsibility as seen with copyright striking Hero Hei and refusing to apologize and to admit to making a mistake. They had the nerve to dare him to upload the video in different formats and they still would copyright claim them.
15. They attacked Nekopara for being a cute anime show and not fitting into their personal agenda.
16. Very biased and ineffective review style due to their self-centered nature.
17. Sexual predators run rampant on the site as well.
18. They also dictate what should and shouldn't be in an anime in a puritan way.
19. They have no problem pushing fake news if it suits their narrative.
20. They also banned users from using the word trap labeling them as transphobic.
21. They also support corrupt voice actors.
22. They mocked the fans of Battle Angel Alita for liking the movie.
23. One of their late editors Zac Betechsy had a long history of Journalistic ethic issues and has mocked the death of Totalbiscuit.
24. Hypocritcally Justin Sevakis was being falsely accused of stalking while the same site stated that false rape allegations were a myth.
25. Zac Betchshy got very verklempt over airsoft guns and loli related anime to the point of wanting it banned due to his far-left views.
26. They downplayed and defended the hypocrisy of Funimation with the leaked audio of Dragonball Z voice actors recording hentai situations.
27. They also westernize and skew Japanese culture with their content.
28. Many editors tend to call random people Nazis.

I think it was after Stella Girls Academy came out (great show btw). He made some bizzaro SJW comparsion to school shootings. Maybe he would have done the same thing again this week, but unfortuately he's still dead so no more retarded Zac takes. lol

Zack's death isn't even a sad moment at this point, let alone something close to the word "tragedy". The more you learn, the more it feels like a natural selection taking it's course.

I'd forgotten that he celebrated after Toalbiscuit died of cancer. Yeah, real class act I sure feel sorry for. Imagine being able to go to Disney Land multiple times a week and still being such a miserable fuck.

Are you serious?
He actually celebrated someone's likely slow painful death?
What a fucking piece of utter garbage.
Like I said on another thread, I enjoy being a hyperbolic ass here cause it's all in fun and jest, but to unironically do something like that speaks volumes of your true nature as a person.
I'm not gonna celebrate his passing as a good thing, but I'll still be a cunt say blithely: and nothing of importance was lost...

 

[Latvophile]

Just a small slightly-offtopic quibble I have, the thread subtitle has quite the redundancy in containing both the words "Snobbish" AND "Quebec-Based". The latter is more than enough to suggest that the owners are twats who act like the US and the French-speaking parts of Canada are the only two speaking points of view on the entire fucking Internet. :p

 

[The Token Ethnic]

Anime Central originally had mask mandates and proof of vaccinaion or a negative test as a requirement for the con, but they decided to remove the mandates for their upcoming convention. They confirmed this with someone on twitter and that there would be no refunds for those who choose not to attend. A lot of people on social media got upset and ACEN had to backtrack. Of course, Lynzee had to stick her nose in and delivered her lackluster investigative journalism as feigned concern on the current state of the coof in Illinois.

It's because Macdonald operates in Quebec (previous investigations into ANN in 2019 revealed that ANN is based near the Université de Montréal). However, most of the main staff are American. Hence the differentiation.

I'll keep digging but he legit popped up on a website's comment section hoping to shitpoke and bait further flamewars with airsoft and firearms owners. VERY professional.

Don't worry. That's what I'm here for. I didn't live for this day, but I sure will revel in it. It's only what he would have done if he was alive.

I'm also reposting from the Hope Chapman thread, but I'll say it again: mental instability runs in the Bertschy family, apparently.

I now remember that show, it's on my list of Plan-to-Watch shows since years (I procrastinate a lot) due to me being both a moeshitter & a casual gun-fag.

He was such a fucking faggot, holy shit.

It starts out seemingly as a moe SOL type show about a specific nerd topic, but it has a twist mid-way through that made it really captivating to me. I really felt connected to the main character. I can relate to her depression and some other stuff I won't mention due to power leveling, but she has a complex character arc. It's hilarious that Zac is such a superficial idiot he condemned this show without realizing it's actually one of the smart animu with deeper themes that he pretends to like, but Zac is an idiot who took it at face value and probably can't relate to female characters either so he decided to condemn it before the main plotline even started.

Sadly nah, you can't create more lulz than that guy. Literally decided the last thing he'd see before finishing what @FuckYou started, would be Martha Speaks porn on e621.

I remember Super Cub's story with a depressed protagonist got called "boring" by the Preview Guide reviewers. Nothing matters except muh moe bad.

Anime cons worst mistake during the pandemic was caving to these busybodies forcing to make people mask up in places where social distancing would not do anything to stop the virus. Meanwhile, just in two years, we still follow this same problem while having to live with this forever.

Yet, nothing changes, It was all just a grift.
