This is highschooler tier kind of logic and reasoning, "Its something odd to me, so I'm just gonna call it weird and stay clear of it". Believe or not, most just don't give a shit, I already said it, but I'll say it again.

Well, deal with it. That's what people think of anime.

I'm not saying that's what I believe, I'm saying that's what most believe.

Please tell me more how people being cunts to the newbies didn't make them want to leave, or how their drama didn't do the same, please, please do.

Holy shit, calm down. You're misinterpreting what I said for the third fucking time.

BEING A CUNT DOES MORE TO PUSH AWAY NEW USERS THAN WEEBERY.

Christ, you're mad.

I'm interpreting it just fine, I'm just annoyed at how dense you about this stupid logic of yours in regards to newbies, but whatever, if you think the several months worth of Noelle/Kiyo/Nuka/Comms/Cis/Verb/etc drama that plagued the site for about half of its lifespan along with how close knit the site is, is less of a deterrent than "weebery" then fine, think what you want.

Hey now, I don't really start anything. I just find this site's drama hilarious and entertaining.

Shhhhh, you know what you did.

I came into this thread and its just Mexicans throwing burritos at each other.

I'm not sure what's worse, the Mexicans or the fact that they're wasting perfectly good food.

I'd be a lot more upset if they were chimichangas....

Well considering the time of year, its gonna be tamales, prepare for oil and meat.

What did I do? Mess with Noelle for cheap laughs? Start PC vs. console flame wars in Gaming? Spam interracial gay porn in Skype chats?

True that, T. I'm thinking that changing the rules may be the best option. But if you try to curb all of this toxic speech on the site people will just scream "hugbox" and the conversation will be over.

Sigh.

Yeah that does tend to happen eh?
But then the issue becomes... who exactly is doing the screaming? lol
Likely the people who are against a rule are against it because it affects the directly. If you catch my drift.

Exactly, and them screaming hugbox shouldn't even matter. But whenever that word is brought up, any drive for stricter rules seems to just shrink away.

tbh E-femly, we should start to accept that the nature of this site drops us right in the twilight zone of a hug box and the slaughterhouse.

instead of worrying that we ourselves are deterring possible members, we should actively advertise this site and let the stream of newcomers decide for themselves if this is a fun place to be.

This is one of the reasons user created front page content as well as a general sense of background purpose within boards should be encouraged. If the newgoys see we actually make some interesting shit, they'll be inclined to stay.. while getting the scoop on recognizing "pillars" of the community and the forum's general interests



TLDR: ban mongolian cartoons and morph this site into an unholy combination of bladeforums and Stormfront

That isn't contradictory whatsoever.

I showed my friend this website, and the first thing he said to me was "Everyone likes anime..." He hasn't been on this website since his first week here.

Anime is weird to those who don't like anime. Sorry, it's true. The staff being mostly comprised of weebs doesn't help.

It's nowhere near people being cunts to new users, though.

to be honest, i wouldnt want to associate with someone who thinks like that and avoids people simply because they like a certain artistic medium. good riddance.

To...moderate?

The two options in the OP aren't mutually exclusive.

Can you read? "More important" doesn't imply that they're mutually exclusive.

Spoiler

didnt know you were into that

I mean that the market for it in the West is huge. Were you unaware of the huge fan following that Japanese pop culture has online and in Western nations?

That doesn't make it popular.

Something being popular in circles like our doesn't make it popular.

Atheism is popular in communities like ours. Is it popular?

IRL the vast majority of people don't care if you like anime. What's going to matter to people is what kind of person you are.

They're still going to think it's weird. I'm not saying they'll avoid you or something like that.

It's like when I say that I like Pokémon -- no one really cares, but most people think "You're 17, you shouldn't be playing Pokemon. It's weird."

to be honest, i wouldnt want to associate with someone who thinks like that and avoids people simply because they like a certain artistic medium. good riddance.

He was a shitty user anyways.

Atheism is very popular in real life.

Less than 1% of people in the world, I reckon.

Less than 15% in the West, I reckon.

Try 15% world wide
