People are realizing ANN thinks they are above fandom. Welcome to 2008. LOL.

On another note, unless I'm doing something wrong, it seems Lynzee Loveridge has deleted every tweet from before September 24th, 2019.

Wow.
So much much to unpack here that in order to not respond with a massive wall of text, I had to actually wait and come back.
First thing cunt, that retro crush totally called you out, you don't want to have real discussions, you just want to live in an echo chamber that praises you for NOTHING. And then what you do, you literally act like they're being obtuse, no bitch that's YOU.
Second, obviously you've never done "real" work, EVER.
Cause in any real job, you'd know that even if you don't like someone, you still need to work with them regardless. You don't get to just cancel them cause...oh wait, your repulsive ass DID do that didn't you...
No wonder why you can't get a real job.
Real people know what insufferable trash you'd be to work with.
Ugh. I'm sorry, I'll stop now.

Ignoring Shonen Jump/Shueishas handling of this manga called Ayakashi Triangle, refusing to publish chapters cause of how one chapter showed a certain character even though it showed her in almost the same way far before.

A couple weeks old, but I found a tweet thread wherein another one of those guys on ANN's Twitter social circle finds out Theron quit.
Now the fun starts when a certain someone mentions when Theron left:
Brainchild129: Defended Gabbo's BL-critical feature from fujoshits crying homo/transphobia
Also Brainchild129: Seemingly agrees Theron is homophobic...when the only basis for that claim is him saying he doesn't care for BL
OH here's the real good part, Lynzee herself comes in too:

I gotta wonder, did he really quit, or was he bullied out?
In either case, I hope the guy finds better work/friends.

He said this when he left:
It really just brings the question of why he stayed
BTW, he's a high school teacher so it's not like he lost everything by quitting ANN. He's writing anime reviews on his own blog, albeit one no one is reading.

ANN does not care for Internet apps showing censored and mishandling translations from new and old anime titles, yet they really like to show how much they really care for piracy.

I'm leaning towards bullying then.
Also, no wonder he was one of the more tolerable ANN staff, he actually has a life outside of it...
Snark aside, again, I'm glad he got out of it, and the fact he won't throw shade; that's a class act right there.

Don't worry, his vulture Rebecca is still alive and kicking. She's like the only veteran still at ANN (besides Macdonald) with him and Zac gone.

Just like anywhere else they are respected and hated based on personal interactions. I watched some episodes and it is ok, I’ll probably enjoy it more than most based on my experiences.

You miscalculated the ticket, ¥15,000 is roughly around $150.The show wasn't anything to get upset about. It just started off slow. There were a few jokes and the main character even mentions how her dad hated the cops for ruining their trip by giving him a speeding ticket. It'll take a few episodes to find its footing, I'm sure. Are speeding tickets over there really around $1,500 ? No wonder people get pissed. I'm surprised they didn't pull some dumb shit like Mercedez did with Aquatope and call it a "queer coded" show since apparently women can't be platonic friends. Although Rebecca Silverman thought it was yuri, much to her dismay. Even Richard Eisenbeis has to make it political and mention "racial profiling" since he's a white dude in Japan. Oh, you poor oppressed gaijin. Funny you mention Chiaki, I found some dirt on that troon. Tomoaki Hirai is his actual name (he still uses it as on his linkedin profile and it's still his facebook URL despite going by "Chiyaki" now) and he went to College Park High School in Pleasant Hill, CA and graduated in 2010. It seems that Hirai has a kink for translating trap manga and is some sort of furry. A three-headed catgirl? His main twitter profile is private in order to save us the weird gay furry shit that constantly gets retweeted, I'm sure. Don't worry, there's still anime commentary and ugly selfies avaiable on a separate anime shitposting account: https://twitter.com/AnimatedEmpress/

Hello, tl;dr social consistency of the internet has been more shittier than usual so I decided to touch grass and see what colors the sky can get. Then a sudden urge to come back struck me. That's life for you!
So for want of a more meatier post, I decided to start all over again. Don't worry, my original post will be quoted. So, where do I begin.....
The problem is, at least in my eyes, I could smell these dipshits a mile away and still tell them as an overseas otaku that they have fucking problems. I don't know what kind of lives they had, but they took the wrong things to heart and the wrong people to take examples from. They are so clueless and socially maladjusted, even I want to humiliate them. Anno wasn't talking about "hardcore fans", he was talking about lazy, spoiled, gutless assholes who never try in their lives to make anything of themselves outside of complacent and self entitled spectatorship and membership, of any sort and any degree. Maybe it was on him for having that kind of optimism for humanity and his community, but it says a lot more about the world than it does a man whose good intentions had the right means and goes on deaf ears and blind eyes.
As a fucking oldfag, when I grew up, I was in contact with all sorts of anime stuff growing up. I played emulators with video games no one ever seen statesside or were even known to the most hardcore of video game fans, I watched fucking Tenchi Muyo and OAV VHS tapes, and yet at the same time, I could do shit like watch MTV and Nickelodeon and GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE AND MAKE FRIENDS. I don't know if ANN and fuckbuddies are drinking whatever gave Michael J Fox Parkinson's or what's making the frogs gay, but even for a fucking hardcore wired nerd like me, I could act like a normal human being to save my fucking life. And for what people in my life lacked to give me, all of these shows and games and stories and their actors and portrayers told me about humanity and that life can be good with its triumphs over adversity and that the bad times always have an end, and people can be loving and kind and you can have these things even if you're in the gutter. Isn't that what stories are for? To keep us going?
And I know, I've been bringing up Anno here a lot. I bring him up because when he was a kid, his dad was a carpenter who lost his right leg in a freak accident with a buzzsaw. He was forever crippled because of this, but he kept going. He helped his mother with her tailoring business, and when that venture was about to run dry, he kept going. He delivered newspapers while learning how to ride a bike WITH ONE LEG. HE KEPT GOING. He didn't turn to be a bitter asshole and abused his family like fucking Henry Lee Otis's or Zac Bertschy's (tell us more, Theresa, like about your fucking husband). His dad learned to just try to overcome the bitterness and to KEEP GOING.
I know, life gives us hard deals at times. But I do not trust people who give up and throw away everything for some fucking petty ass reason. You can't change how you look, you can't change your Body Mass Index, you can't change what you are physically, but inside, how you deal with life? That's all on you. No one wants to be a part of this fucking weeaboo lolcow pity party that I know will go belly up like Heaven's Gate and Jonestown with a lot of bad kool aid. We even have someone who doesn't want to be a part of that fuckfest anymore either. I know that it's kind of out of nowhere that someone like me is willing to get to catharsis over this, but TL;DR
Nearing 30 some years since the mainstream anime boom in the States and this is what the likes of ANN has to show for it. I left for two, three months and already the fucking trashfire is the gift that keeps on giving even without me. I didn't just get gifts for Christmas, but New Year's too! I know I'll get some for Valentine's if I stick around.
If only you were actually an anime news source, ANN. But, I can also deal with hard facts and reality. No tears lost here.
For those who missed the first post I made:

This is why I sympathize with Hideaki Anno these days. These were the deluded morons who thought anime fandom was the Neverland where they could never grow up. Otaku culture is much different than the States, but he saw, he knew, he got depressed, he started Neon Genesis Evangelion, and he helped depict Shinji masturbate to one of his team members. While the worst of it has Japan with manchildren secluded in their rooms neeting and escaping the world by their series' obsessions and the egotism of fandom grand standing, the States has deluded consuum hipster know nothing know it alls thinking they made anime by buying merchandise and watching the shows "with taste". In the end, both kinds of dipshits aren't exactly constructive and striving members of society, let alone well adjusted people, as aforementioned.
The problem is, at least in my eyes, I could smell these dipshits a mile away and still tell them as an overseas otaku that they have fucking problems. I don't know what kind of lives they had, but they took the wrong things to heart and the wrong people to take examples from.

Maybe it was on him for having that kind of optimism for humanity and his community, but it says a lot more about the world than it does a man whose good intentions had the right means and goes on deaf ears and blind eyes.
I would feel bad for them.... except for the fact that, all people, yes, even me, have fucking problems and share life's challenges and frustrations. And as a lifelong anime fan with such problems, I could laugh my ass off until the cows came home in the face of their self pitying and dysphoric projective bitterness. That's their excuse? That's like, Dylan Klebold and Matthew Harris levels of "TEAR MY LIFE INTO PIECES, I AM A TOTAL FUCKING WASTE OF RESOURCES" self pity. It's the kind of well hid bitterness I know I'm gonna see Jewthulhu and that other fuck nobody on chat become an hero over like Zac one day (ps. I ain't afraid of making enemies, fuck you too, thanks for ruining my thanksgiving assfuckers)

Back before the pervasive presence of the Internet, if you wanted to get anime shit, you had to share it with friends, so you needed some friends even if they were pretty much anime nerds. Usenet was okay for talking about nerd subjects like that, but early Internet didn't really have the bandwidth to transmit quality video. So what little there was was low resolution rips of VHS tapes that would generally take a ridiculous amount of time to download and look like shit if you even managed to find it on some dodgy ftp server.
