I think that anyone who is broken enough to still obsess over the original backronym should find literally anything better to think about

Must be nice to live a life where you can just choose to not think about rape existing while you sit in a forum with rape in the name.

Rename the forum to We Got Rid of the Pedophiles But We Kept the Rape Apologists

VEGETA was always what I supported. Sticking to ADTRW has always been stupid.

Rape isnt in the name, the name is adtrw.

so how broken are the people who are so attached to the backronym that they throw a tantrum any time somebody suggests that its kinda lame, incidentally

Me? Very.

Who are you even talking about. Shouldn't you do some quotes to point out who exactly is the strawman you are pearl clutching about.

Let’s be real, nobody is going to call it anything other than ADTRW regardless of what the name is actually changed to. It’s like when IHOP tried to rebrand as IHOB.

Why not just keep rotating between ADTRW acronyms like before? Altruistic Duwang Teens Righting Wrongs during DU was great. Otherwise:

Keeping it as ADTRW without any acronym would be good.

My thing is like, if you're so attached to the acronym, making a fit about the specific abbreviation comes off as a ridiculous line to draw. Just make the hard break already or stop making this thread annually only to end up deciding to keep ADTRW anyway.

I think Strange Quark made this thread in a brilliant tactical move to preempt the inevitable qcs thread that always comes up whenever this forum is in the spotlight

Thanks for reminding me to rewatch/read Hyouge Mono. Fun times.

Anyway, yeah call the subforum whatever. "Anime forum" would probably be the best, personally I've got no patience for the SA habit of obscure in-joke names. People are still gonna refer to it as ADTRW unless the new name is catchy as hell though.

i would like the ADTRW acronym a lot more if it changed every couple of months instead of once a year. it doesn't have to be a good acronym as long as no bad one sticks around too long. no particular attachment to those letters but i'd kinda rather keep them than just make it The Anime Forum or something.

if we are going to move away from ADTRW i would most prefer VEGETA. in fact a rotating list of popular secondary/rival anime character names sounds best to me

unfortunately i don't think this forum will ever have a name as good as Batman's Shameful Secret

What if it was like FYAD or BYOB where you had the acronym and then an unrelated phrase or tag line that changes every once in a while?

It’s much easier to click
“ADTRW: Donald Rumsfeld has made it to the other world check-in station” than just “ADTRW”
