a cartoon duck posted:

except for that aforementioned time he let his pedophile buddy keep posting VNs about wanting to gently caress preteen girls because he was gay and therefore doing so was extremely cool and good

Really though there's also the fact Zorak basically just poisoned the well by making GBS threads on every show or genre he wasn't into and setting the discourse to be overly negative. You either like what precious few shows Zorak was into or you watched shows ironically or hatewatched them. I think there were even cases where people got probated for committing the crime of publicly liking a show Zorak disliked?

There's a notable shift in tone after Zorak quit and Baal and Bad Seafood started modding where people start watching Japanese cartoons because they like doing so and talking about how they enjoy watching shows more than how they hate it and that anime is ruined forever and hell, I prefer the new ADTRW where liking things is good and not bad.

He also had a fixation on how the board was supposed to be structured that didn't really align with how people wanted to post. No general discussion thread, couldn't post about shows in the season thread after the 3rd episode, megathreads discouraged (other than his pet toku and mecha threads), so if you wanted to post about a show you had to make a separate thread with a proper OP for it even if you wanted to just post a few jokes about a show that hadn't gotten enough of a following to maintain a thread.
