Acerbatus posted:Anyways my crackpot theory is that growing up on social media has made a lot of young people lose their goddamn minds which is why you get arguments over if shipping lumine and childe is a moral failing or whatever. A lot of the really infamous shipping wars happened well before the pandemic, and I think the actual shipping part is immaterial to the actual problem. The primary cause is people really wanting to tribalize and have an enemy to fight because it feels good to be angry and even better when you can convince yourself you're justified.

Acerbatus posted:I suspect part of it is also isolation making people grow more attached to fictional characters and hating seeing them portrayed wrong, and I mean I kinda get it. I don't like that either! But setting out to destroy it via harassment instead of idk, writing a negative review is obviously hosed. I think it's just that time moving forward and all this crazy poo poo getting pushed to everyone as they're growing up just leads to them assuming that's the normal way to interact with people online, since they were younger and had less time for stuff like 'Don't put your identity online, don't give out information about yourself, etc etc.' to be the status quo. Basically my understanding of it is if you grow up surrounded by people that make deranged 6 paragraph 1-star yelp reviews, you assume that's the normal way to interact with people. Like growing up and finding out something you or your family do is strange or not common, like having beds with a dog bed attachment or being able to roll your tongue or putting the salt in the fridge or something.

Mr.Radar posted:Izzzyzzz looks back on My Little Pony creepypastas: IIRC Izzy got the premise for that Rarity blog wrong. It's more about her being isolated in her workhome and having the girl version of "Whyboners" over getting turned on by killer!pinkie pie and her self harm. It was always horny about it. The derailment she talked about did happen tho. It's just it was partly an intensification of what was already there while also being where she turned into (an attempted) killer. The blog got nuked before she pulled it off and for good reason. It's a very cringly memory. I'm not sure i'm the same rubbernecker anymore.

Being really into anime and manga is very different from being a clueless weeb or deranged otaku, so I'm gonna disagree on that claim. That and that remark has become pretty transparently weird on the way some people blunder in on the merest mention to use it.

If you say anything generally negative about Japan the ADTRW crew (none of which are Japanese AFAIK) will get insufferable and call you out for xenophobia. I GUESS maybe if you talk about overworking you can get away with it. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Yea to be clear I wasn’t the one saying it was racist, that’s a larger discussion, just responding to the idea that people are being easily baited. If you do think it’s racist obviously you’re going to push back I think that’s distinct from being baitedsexpig by night posted:Well then the pushback is "actually the Japanese view any fun as bad except drinking" and then we get stuck in The Racist Loop Not unfair but a single person said that when there were multiple other posters responding without being insulting right back

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:imagine thinking anime is uniquely deranged when supernatural exists No, you see, we're not aloud to push back, and the only contribution expected of us yellows is to go "ching chong wing wong ping pong bing bong sank yoo sank yoo waito jeezasu." Funny how there'll multipage discussions about the appropriateness of invoking the experience of some groups of people in this thread, but when it's us loving slanty-eyed Asians, it's all "why are you getting baited?" "It's nothing to care about." Collectively, go gently caress yourselves. Not you, though. At least you're on the right track here. Dias posted:If you say anything generally negative about Japan the ADTRW crew (none of which are Japanese AFAIK) will get insufferable and call you out for xenophobia. Pardon me for taking issue with the suggestion that problems that can be found in just about any fandom is unique to us yerrow peopre. Prease to terring me how to feer about thissu kaindo of lacism. Neo_Crimson posted:why do you people get baited so easily? Hmm, yes, why do people take issue with racism? It truly is a mystery. Rockit posted:It's wrong but it's just a shitpost that even anime fans use all the time. No, go on, please explain to me how this kind of casual racism against people of my ethnicity is nothing to care about. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Dec 31, 2021 |

40 year old housewives that probably haven't seen an anime in their life were up in arms over Edward vs Jacob. We can homegrow our own insanity without having to take overly-online weebs into the equation, thank you very much. And yeah, the "anime was a mistake" meme spills over into actual anti-asian racism uncomfortably often, even if the original intent was probably more "stop getting invested in kid's shows."

If you're about to write a response, be it a long treatise on why I'm in the wrong for taking issue and offence to something that has clear racist implications, or even a drive-by, "duh, got baited lol" shitpost, ask yourself why it's so loving important to you, and then punch yourself in the face, you racist gaslighting gently caress.

Oh, so is that why I'm not permitted to take issue with something that veers far too often into racism against my ethnicity? I had no idea! SANK YOU VELY MUCCHI FOL INFOLMING ME OF ZISSU! Have you got any other pathetic excuses for a lovely, racist meme? When a person from the ethnic group that is treated as the butt of a racist joke says "hey, knock it off with that racism," the correct response isn't to try to justify the perpetuation of it and explain why they're in the wrong for being offended, you loving turd. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Dec 31, 2021 |
