I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

Anime Drawings To Replace Women is pretty funny, but this implies that the forum itself is funny. That's something we can never achieve, but we can be a forum about anime.

Just cycle through terrible joke names if only because it would make a couple people incredibly unhappy for some reason.

That's still going to happen when appropriate/funny/unfunny, but I might as well let the people vote on what the default is.

Strange Quark posted:

I agree in principle with two exceptions:
  • If you were going to reference a specific series, DBZ at least is high profile enough to be universally recognizable.
  • If you're going to have rotating names for the subforum, I think it's okay to reference specific series from time to time with the knowledge that this too shall pass.

A DBZ name would clash with a Chihayafuru style sheet though.

Technically, you could also make the same argument in favor of no CSS.
