Is this a case of projection? I sure think so!
I swear Allanon, everytime you say something it's always something so fucking stupid it takes me back to every other place I've been to before with people like you, the same tryhard dumbass who is very unaware of how they look, it's as if they lack self awareness and awareness of the world around them, and still Dunning Kruger is off the fucking charts.
Compared to a greenthumb like you, you're still someone who has yet to learn the social ques and workings of being in a place like this. I've only been here for practically a month, and even then, I picked up my smarts from the rest of the net. Smarmy smartassery like yours and the kind of talky pedantics you're displaying is only going to attract spite and ridicule because
no one wants to know how fucking smart and exceptional you are. Act like a fucking human being and put in normal shit shooting and put the fucking autism kool aid away before it mutates you into a fucking neckbeard.
So you're saying that it's desirable to have to wait months on fans to pick out anime they want to sub, with no regard for your own taste in anime, sitting in some college room where you have to hide your love of anime because literally no one understands, so that you can watch a poor quality VHS that's insanely overpriced. If you don't go to college, if you're poor, or if you live in a small town forget it, you won't get to watch anything but Dragonball, Speed Racer and Sailor Moon, and no one is going to be there for you to talk about it with, or who doesn't think you're some kind of deviant for watching kid's cartoons as an adult.
Because oh no, there's silly people out there who are cringey about their enjoyment of anime you may or may not like? You're obviously joking.
Yeah, and you know what else would have been great to go with that? A time when you could actually go outside and get shit done, and have to go out there to the venue to catch the word on the street.
You're not getting me to feel bad because I grew up in the 1990s and in a state where there were standalone mom and pop anime stores that popped up from the 1980 Japanese economy bubble (and no, it's not California. Guess which state again, and go ask around). You also don't get that in these days alternative media was
the in thing for youth and the nerdy in these days, ie it's why metal, gangsta rap, grunge, alternative, video games, media watchdog group anathema of nudity, profanity, touching into sensitive topics, and violence unseen before on TV and the movies, caught on into today. Anyone who was still interested in animation when puberty hit was fucking tired of animation being treated like babysitting tools and mainstream excess that any anime, let alone video games with anime in them that got the chance to make it into the states, they were gems and treasure in a wasteland of PTA overlords, shithead frat boys, whore aspiring slut thots of the gossip circle, and moral purity clergy that was awaiting the 2000 AD apocalypse like the entire USA was fucking Jonestown, and those kids back then fucking stuck it to them
hard.
You're still being overdramatic, here. I play DnD myself - and not those 4th and 5th edition turds - but it doesn't personally affect me if there's some gamestore that has adventures league running. If I want to set up a game with people who want to play 2nd ed or 3rd ed or even the original version, I can still do that. I can even contact a gamestore and arrange to have a night (or more, if it's popular) to start hosting those games. That people enjoy playing an MMO-ized DnD doesn't prevent me from continuing to enjoy the versions I do. It might reduce some the fan content made for it, but eh. There's communities for the classic stuff. It can't really 'reduce' it, if the content creators got into the scene because of the later ones in the first place.
I don't really get why people showing up who aren't interested in competing would somehow ruin competitions for the people who do want to compete. They're not competing. How are they interfering? Maybe you're not wording that right.
As for the attention seekers, I mean...literally just ignore them. They'll shrivel up and die in a poof of smoke if you just ignore them and do your thing. Or straighten out and just play the game, whichever way you win. I get that it might not always be ideal or as pleasant as the original situation with only hardcore gameweebs about it, but the conclusion that it's now been ruined and your only recourse is to take your ball and go home is just dramatic and ridiculous. Either adapt or keep doing what you've always been doing and ignore people who aren't playing along. There will always be people willing to do it your way, because if your way wasn't fun to begin with no one would have joined in the first place.
SJWs are a problem because while they may masquerade as casuals or attention seekers for a while, they inevitably come out as what they really are. And the casual might want the game dumbed down for them to keep up, the attention whore might want rules to be bent or broken for them, but it's usually just in a bubble around them. Don't play with them and the allowances for them usually don't apply. SJWs make it their mission to leave their mark on the world by restructuring everything, and they pressure everyone with guilt and self-righteousness so if you don't change it or give them control you're an awful person, and they'll probably start threatening your relationships/livelihood if you resist (but don't eject) them.
Casuals are more like dry skin. They have the potential to get worse, become cracked, end up bleeding and eventually even start building up infections that do harm to the whole body...but you kind of have to go out of your way to let and even cause that to happen. SJWs are an aggressive cancer. If you don't remove it from the body or kill it, it will kill the body and make a horrific twisted copy of the body out of its remains.
I've already agreed with Vermillion Fluttershy's statement on this.
You're such a socially clueless and self unware squib that I advise you to get the fuck off Kiwi Farms, get off of your computer and go outside to interact with people who aren't lurking around in a comic store, and/or sit and take a long time to think over what the fuck you are doing with your life until you can not act like a fucking autist dipshit. Kiwi Farms ain't a fucking hug box and to gain respect, you need to work to know and show what people can respect. Until then, you have a long fucking way to get respect from me, let alone everyone else.
Also, I'd recommend cutting down the paragraphs unless you really have something profound to say. Seriously, back that shit wayyy the fuck up.
