And hey I managed to find some good .avi subs of Bakemonogatari so I can finally check that out. Drop by the irc Zeta we can talk animes in realtime. Ichiban Ushiro is an amusing show. If only it had some more budget. |

| It seems the thread's stigma of being creepy has been generally accepted, so I don't know if they'll ever want us to start another one. :( Especially as long as Irond Will is still a mod. Did anyone from Graphic Violence ever get back to you guys? |
Niceguyeddie616 said: It seems the thread's stigma of being creepy has been generally accepted, so I don't know if they'll ever want us to start another one. :( And we all know how it got the stigma of being 'creepy'. Random guy: Why is the anime thread considered creepy? I.Will: Because I said so. Random guy: Oh ok what a creepy thread. |

| And now people are convinced that there's rampant pedophilia. Thanks, Rust. Starts here: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?p=14919378#post14919378 I PM'd my buddy Inquisitor to see what he meant by saying the thread was full of pedophilia, and he responded that the whole thread was pedophilia and a travesty. He's usually a reasonable guy but this line of thinking is the kind of poison that's killing our chances for a new anime thread. Also, discussing Durarara and recommending Baccano was creeping people out as well. |

| "Because ten billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness." |
| What? How does that even make sense? Neither Baccano nor Durarara has one iota of pedophilia in them, how the hell does that creep anyone out? It's like unless we're discussing what makes it onto AS, we're considered creepy. |
PikaPuff said: It's me. I am the creepy. And aroduc's avatars and B:L's OP and all the wtf posts posting pedo stuff and the season preview pics being 80% loli and anytime anything media related was posted it was kinda creepy, or of a loli or of breast shots of people who even though they look old are really 14-19 Anime is creepy. |
| "Because ten billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness." |
| I've noticed the word creepy gets thrown around like it's going out of style on PA. I saw a humorous discussion of Super Mario Bros. called creepy once. It's like people are falling over themselves to prove how normal they are. Oh yeah, somebody declared that Mr. Rogers was creepy, too. FFFFF |
Juicy_JuiceMay 18, 2010 7:34 PM
| Meh, I could care less one way or the other about who's normal, I just hate that whenever I take interest in something on there, they seem to shut it down. I followed Linksville a lot, they shut it down. Then the megathreads and ranger threads, nope, denied. And now I've lost the anime thread. It's like Tube or whoever is under him has some sort of vendetta against me. |
| I think the best way to deal with this, instead of getting all put upon (no matter how true), is to ask if we can start a new thread and do our best to make it respectable. This means policing each other; if you think someone else's posts are getting creepy by all means call them out on it. Let's face it, we've come to accept "oh JAPAAAAN" moments as part of the deal even in a good anime series, but just because we've learned to overlook it doesn't mean everyone else has. |
| I think it would require actual moderation, because I know that calling people out never changed anything when I tried. And none of the PA mods are interested in doing that because they found the thread distasteful. Self-fulfilling prophecy, engage! |
| Yeah, when I said we need to police ourselves I meant listening to criticism as well as giving it. We all have our series we love and don't want to hear any criticism, but that doesn't make it any less true (Nanoha, R+V, Kampfer) |

| In their defense, D&D really isn't a suitable subforum for the anime thread, as there's not much debating or discoursing going on. Incidentally, neither is the chat thread, but it's not creepy so it's okay. |

Side A: Rosario is awesome Side B: Rosario is terrible Chat thread, on the other hand, was in agreement about small breasts being better. No debate or discourse, 100% creepy. |

Seriously, there has to be something against what he's doing, he's using this opportunity to shit on us and it's honestly pissing me off. I know it's just the internet but I'm totally not cool with this kinda thing in ANY situation. Couldn't we just go to Arcadians or Platforumers and make our thread there since PA probably won't give us one? |

It's just hard to accept your judgement as fair and reasonable when you basically go out of your way to diss anime fans every chance you get, from posting out-of-context quotes in the chat thread to make people look like pedos, to putting weeaboo in every thread title, to just being rude and confrontational to anime fans in general. Not to mention that you are far stricter on anime fans than you are on everyone else in D&D. Losing the thread is frustrating enough without having to see the person in power, who has made it clear he has no interest in actually being fair about things, constantly trash talking everyone who dares to like anime. You basically bait us and then keep us from being able to stand up for ourselves by either infracting us or ignoring us, and then you go to your clique in the chat thread(that has had it's own share of "depraved" stuff in it go completely unpunished) and brag about how you sure showed us weeaboos. I'll probably get infracted for saying this, but if that's the risk I have to take so be it, others have told me they've had their PMs ignored, so taking things private seems to mean nothing. Kruse, you have our support all the way. |

o god look you do not have a general anime thread in D&D if you want one elsewhere then that is fine with me i cannot handle moderating your particular brand of obsessive nerdery in this forum i just don't have the time, expertise, or inclination but you know, probably /b does and probably somethingawful too if you're willing to spring the $5 per month or whatever. anyways, i have responded - at length - to a good number of PM's from outraged and disappointed weeaboos and i have made your concerns and complaints clear to the PA administration powers that be but I do not think that your thread is coming back in this subforum, regardless of my personal feelings or inclinations about your "hobby" really you just need to give this up please Well we at least FINALLY have an answer, rather than being constantly ignored. |

| I totally did not know about that image at the top of the last couple of threads. I thought the OP just put it there for giggles or something. This whole mess feels kinda dumb and against the spirit of PA entirely, in paticular if it's been him essentially hunting us this entire time. |
| Hm. In the last year or so, I've only gone to PA to talk about anime. There are other places of course, but they're either a) childish b) populated by non-English native speakers c) populated by japanophiles d) all of the above. I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF ANDROPHOBIA IN A WORKING PLACE IS THAT SO UNREASONABLE? I guess I could start a blog or something, but eh, I'm not as punctual or eloquent as Aroduc. |
