nyaa, wud u leik it if i alwz talkd leik dish, desu-ka?
1. Read 4.
2. Okay, so you believe that if SG was forced to change her default, then she would throw a temper tantrum and ragequit from the forums? And Uppercut suggesting to the Council/community something that he reasonably believes would make this forum better has nothing to do with Uppercut suddenly being granted mod-powers by a third party and banning defaults on whim.
4. Anime/manga of all kinds involves simplification or idealization/distortion of human features. See barbie dolls. Sure, some might look sexier in short skirts rather than t-shirts, but in the end they're all plastic stick-figures. You shouldn't just jump to the conclusion that Uppercut is making a hasty generalization, you don't know what genres or drawing styles of anime/manga Uppercut has been exposed to. For all we know, he has already seen what you say is "aesthetically pleasing" and still disagrees. For all we know, a majority of the population on Earth could find what you say is "aesthetically pleasing" childish or perverse.
And I think you misunderstood my weeaboo/wapanese point.
The term "wapanese" refers to people who incorrectly act "japanese" for the sake of acting japanese for the sake of fulfilling their anime/manga obsession. (the last part was hypothesized)
If I had a default of Superman, then you could reasonably assume that I either idolize Superman or am obsessed with Superman.
If I had a default of Bieber, then you could reasonably assume that I either idolize Bieber or am obsessed with Bieber.
So if anyone had a default of a manga/anime character, couldn't anyone new to the forums reasonably assume that he likes adding desu-ka's at the end of declarative sentences?
Ok time to throw my hat into the ring for real now.
Ok show me the last time an otaku ( fan of anime and/or manga ) ever spoke anything like your first sentence. I assume you generalize that all or at least most otaku talk like that. If you don't then why bother typing it?
1. See 4 I Guess, I am too lazy to reply to this one.
2. I am not even going to justify that with a proper reply. I am sure someone will come by to rip you a new one for this terrible point shortly enough, number
3 4 looks better to waste my time on.
3. Is 3 missing or did a swarm of scarabs eat it?
4. I love how you put that, it's so flawed! You defend a comparison between barbie which is targeted to little girls and anime/manga which is targeted to almost every age group! I love it! Also no we don't know what uppercut has seen but he did not give any details on it so we assume he is generalizing until he comes on and tells us. From his past post saying he generalizes is a safe bet. Remember even among "aesthetically pleasing" Anime there are still different types. Anime is just a story told through animation, is that hard to understand at all?
Let me be clear on a few things.
If I had a default of Superman, then you could reasonably assume that I like the character known as superman but he would not be my idol, nor an obsession.
Last time I check I have not played with a Phoenix or ash, I just like how it looks.
If I had a default of Bieber, then you could reasonably assume that I like his music and maybe not him.
So if anyone had a default of a manga/anime character, couldn't anyone new to the forums reasonably assume that he likes adding a period at the end of a sentence.
Back to bed now.
