Infected Sword Enthusiasts - folded up to a million times!

[DykesDykesChina]

The reason the Katana is obsessed over because it's really the only weapon that has an huge amounts of romanticism attached to it by it's parent culture. To western warriors, the sword was really just at tool, but with a Samurai, it was more an extension of himself and a physical symbol of what he was. It was also his badge of office so to speak and a sign of his status due to the fact that commoners weren't allowed to bear one.

There's also massive romanticism around western swords.

The big difference though is that katana appear in ANIMU and are oftentimes used by KAWAII ANIME GIRLS.

I've always wondered how often they practiced with their swords or if they put any time at all into technique. They all feel like that guy with the mullet who picked up a sword 2 minutes ago and let his imagination run wild.

This. That's all there is to it. Rurouni Kenshin was airing on Cartoon Network 12 or 13 years ago and all the young weebs watching took a cartoon at face value. Repeat again for Naruto, and Bleach, and whatever is the current hot anime featuring katanas.

I doubt they practice at all. I'd imagine the kind of people who actually put effort into practicing with their swords don't make YouTube videos showing off how "cool" their stainless steel eBay katana is.

There's an old adage that goes 'the only thing more dangerous than a trained swordsman is an untrained swordsman'.

The way I feel about swords (especially the weeb-gasm katana) is the same way I feel about firearms. Any bastard can kill someone with one. It take skill to kill someone with your hands or a longbow.

Swords are not toys, and only true warriors should wield them. Here are some swords that are definitely NOT toys.

Spoiler: Is it a sword or a gun? It's actually a swordgun.

Spoiler: are you classy as fuck? Get a sword cane

Spoiler: but are there patriotic sword canes?

Spoiler: I want a cane, at first you think its a gun... but NO it's actually a sword.

The thing I find amusing is when they say "This is a move called the Hiroshima Ramen " or some shit, and the just swing the sword horizontally or something. I'm thinking, that's not a "move" you just swung it once horizontally.

Also, this subreddit is a goldmine for shit like this.

From my basic intel on Fedoralords and their Dank Swordz Brethren: there is like 20 knives for every sword. Not a hard figure, but since Vitriol already did a fine job on introducing Wokeef (bbillyk). It is important to note there is some overlap with homemade bladez and cutting things like a douche.

 

[GeorgeDaMoose]

This video fucking kills me always. That failed whistling, that autistic anger from the little brother towards the mom, "GO TO CHINA", etc.

 

[Linako 2.0]

I could easily beat these people with 15th century joke moves like throwing the pommel of my sword.

 

[The Great Chandler]

I can't seem to find this footage, but supposedly in Germany,some guy was surrounded by police. The man had a katana and embarrassingly enough, a police officer used a broom against him by sweeping the hell out of him. Then all the officers tackled him like seagulls feasting on one fish.

[Secretly Satan]

To this day, I'm still baffled that there are people who wear fedoras and trenchcoats unironically.

Here, people, have a true scotsman:

 

[Bugaboo]

On Spike they made a show about dudes making swords and then they got guys who knew about swords to test the swords and the guy who had the shittiest sword got eliminated until there were two guys left. I never watched any of it except the end of one episode so I don't know if they had katanas one episode or not but it seems like the type of show catered to the fat neckbeard with katanta crowd.

 

[Lorento]

This guy looks like an autistic Undertaker trying way too hard to be 2Edgy5you.

I never knew Rick Astley went through a sword phase.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

We're missing a classic here.

For a second, I wanted to point out that guy actually is an autist, then I remembered where I was.

That guy with the asian chick must be like the lord emperor of katana-qeeks, after all, he's living the dream of having a katana -and- an asian gf. Alsu kudos for that hoover-fedora

Twiztidclwn the ninja showing off some mad cutting skillz .

That Freddy-Claw is perfect to simultaneously dislocate all 4 fingers at mutliple joints. I'm amazed.

Well in my defence, the majority of my post was about why I feel these people obsess over their chosen blade.

Anyway, in other news...

Look at that huge sword, he must be a GREAT fencer!

I never knew Rick Astley went through a sword phase.

Looks more like a jewish Pedo-Columbo to me, to be honest.

 

[ShecalledmeJohnny]

I thought the lady sword/knives spergs could use some representation. Awkward 2edgy4u make-up and animu-con badge all in one!

 

[anephric]

When we figure out why so many autistic people love swords, we'll likely figure out why so many of them in the 1990s were really into wearing cheap duster jackets and watching Highlander The Series.
