It's just a reference to a Japanese internet meme. A: "You're going to do something terrible to me! Just like in an ero doujin!" B: "No I'm not, Jesus Christ." is how it typically goes, according to the niconictionary, you're one stop shop for terrible meme explanations in Japanese.

Speaking of, this:



Is a reference to the Wall Punching Proxy Service, the people who punch walls for you when you see a normie doing normie things and need to punch a wall, but either don't have a wall to punch, or don't have the muscles with which to punch one.

The first episode is already available for dirty poor normie haters like yourself and myself. Master is a pretty strong, and cool.

Not just good taste that any plebe can have, but patrician taste developed through years of isolation and anime watching. :goonsay:

I'd rather they use normie than "normalfag" like the guys who translated the manga did.

Riajuu is the original from 2chan then it was made into normalfag by 4chan and bastardized into normie by le reddit

The original Japanese term is just an abbreviation of "people who lead a fulfilling life outside the internet," so I guess normie is a fairly reasonable equivalent.

It's short for guild master. As for why, same reason people call student council presidents kaicho or whatever instead of their name.

I hope Ako learns to, if not necessarily like, at least accept others' differences, and gains the self confidence to not be depressed about everyone else seeming to be happier than she is.

I'm torn between trying to accept this show as likely being about socializing this girl so she can better make friends and wanting to see how much further her yandere quirks can go.

I can't quite decide if Hideki is just genuinely being nice to a troubled individual in the hopes of seeing her improve or if he tolerates the creepier aspects of her personality that just made themselves manifest in real life because "A hot girl is into me... Yes!" because of low self esteem.

He's supposed to be honestly kind of worried about her, as a mirror to how he was constantly troubled over how incompetent she was in the game.

As I recall, one of the things Netoge was trying to push is that your online relationships can map to your offline ones pretty well.

I watched 2 episodes so far. It's promising but we'll see. The introduction to the series seems to be over, so

I really hope they don't end up all becoming normies at the end of the series, would be such a bad cliché ending

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

Ugh, could you all stop using this slur against my people

Also get out while you can protagonist dude, that chick is a solid wall of warning sirens. She's like an E/N thread in anime form. In fact I think I've read that E/N thread.
