Looks like his haunting days will soon be laid to rest. https://archive.ph/jqHrG

aylmao, they definitely brought this upon themselves. Here's hoping this blows up into a full blown Scrooged Ass News Network Christmas Carol special, though I doubt they will get the true meaning of Christmas. I also would avoid letting any of them near the Tiny Tim expy.

Zac is the equivalent to the Ouroboros earring itself with older ANN users that are not as out of touch and/or irrelevant than Zac (yet).
Zac is the posterchild for whiny entitled spectator "anime elitist" manbabies, though this is the crowd that thought to silently excommunicate him and not get him psychiatric help by cutting off his health insurance and left him to die. On second thought, I'd be happier to leave them to repeat history like a weeaboo Jonestown.

I genuinely don't know what this article is even suppose to be saying. Maybe Im just dumb. Maybe they're dumb. That's a lot of words to say "Japan likes to base some works in western settings" written by someone who likes to hear their own voice.
Oh no, you're not dumb. They're dumb. This all from the crowd who thinks anime should be tame and ineffectual "to be accessible" while it's been anything but that since it was born.

Last time we got the rare simulcast kids anime (Waccha PriMagi) you trashed on it in the preview guide. AniFem (which you're an editor on) literally says they refuse to cover anime for kids. So which one is it huh Caitlin? Should more kids anime be dubbed or do they deserve nothing because they aren't part of your "agenda"?

I think she's the kind of chomo who believes they should enter into kiddy drag shows. I also believe she deserves a bullet to the head or a BFG blast in Doom.

Nothing really surprises me about these assholes. Hypocrites, liars, two faced salami slicers, they all deserve some time in a Doom WAD where they all are the foes and the player can just go wild on them.

Pretty Cure, much like Mewkledreamy and other anime with shoujo tendencies, is only liked by these people who wish to subvert those magical girls into boys with female features. The less masculine of them, the better.

I just read the review you linked and, beyond giving it a 2 out of 5, she says its for kids and fine as for that but not suited for adults (because it has the formulaic nature kids like but adults find boring.) Then she says in it that she wishes more kids anime got translated. So I don't think thats actually contradictory at all?

It's contradictory because they are all deep down losers and burnout asshurt hipsters angry that their "golden age of anime" has gone on without them.

They are the anime equivalent of IGN, where they are angry they aren't reviewing anything "cool and in" and getting drip fed residuals from the "popular games", so they take the piss out of anything they consider "uncool" and won't progress their careers as grifting and unprofessional sellouts. Only thing, Ass News Network is composed of smarmy Gen X know it alls who never grew up from the high school anime club and grew up to be talentless and useless slacker nobodies.

I'm not even going to honor them as journalists or reporters. They and their lot of other scumstains are absolutely lower than the low.

Counterpoint: Its trash for kids, if anything she was being charitable.
 
Kind of related, but I was watching that new digimon show thinking I show it to my 7 year old nephew to introduce him to digimon, but man they get away with alot of fucked up shit, digimon kill humans, one eats human brains, there's a suicide in it, the character almost very realistically freeze to deatg.
I think I'll show him one of the older ones instead

It's supposed to be more of a horror from what I've gathered. Haven't watched it yet, but I love the idea.

Also Tamers was just as fucked up, so I don't know why you're clutching pearls over Digimon now lol.

I haven't watched digimon since I was very young, I guess I repressed it
 
The biggest Digimon fan community, With the Will, is run by an obese neckbeard named Marc who works for Discotek and was friends with Zac, Hope, and Bamboo. Hmm...

Anyways enough with Digimon autism, get back on topic, ANN still sucks.
Is he actually that fat? I think I remember his forum, wasn't that the one where you'd get banned for not crying with them over how that one Digimon director is actually an EVIL DANGEROUS FAR-RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORIST because he did a short drama with the Digimon characters where the villain uses attacks like "cancel culture" and shit?

If you thought Mike Toole was fat you haven't seen shit. Once on their forums and Discord, all you had to do was criticize tri. or the franchise's overreliance on Adventure nostalgia and you would always get the same f**king guys at you trying to defend Adventure's honor, plus Marc threatening to ban you.

Going back on topic now, f**k ANN and f**k Lynzee, Caitlin, Nick, James, Rebecca, Richard, Theron, Zac, Hope, and anyone else who's been on this thread.
 
Former ANN writer who's still at AniFem, Mercedez (she just recently decided her name is Cy Catwell but f**k that, here on the Farms we deadname) wrote a blog about her 2023 goals and one particular sentence caught my eye:

ANN wouldn't let her do "feminist praxis" in her reviews? Big yikes there Lynzee!

(Yeah, I know on my older posts here on my old Martha Speaks account I called Mercedez one of the good writers. That was BEFORE I started to notice her reviews going downhill)
 
I'm not even going to touch this for a while. Not just because of the smug and the autism, or even the fact that in the world of law right now Vic isn't really seeing his favor, but because I'm going to swallow my pride and admit, run to the hills, something worse is on its way to ANN.

I know that ANN likes to come over here and look at this place while they brag on their IRC as well, but because it's well documented that for every gain ANN makes, there's always something terrible that happens because their userbase, well, is always awful to attract such misfortune in the first place. First there was the hacking of 2017, then it was Dylan Keilman being a rapist who they covered up and covered for, then it was Zac Bertschy dying because of his own awful karma to the point that existence wants nothing to do with him anymore. They can laugh at me and huff their farts at me and take this as some underhanded attempt at masking defeat or whatever, but I'm just going to point out I'm getting the fuck out of dodge, and whether or not you guys at ANN believe me or not, I'm hightailing it for a while from this blast zone, like how Indiana Jones hid in the fridge to escape the nuclear blast zone. Remember, I gave you the signs. This is all up to you. If this was about winning, I would have said something else entirely.

And if you, ANN, wants to blame shit on us, especially me, nuh-uh. You guys have the mods and tech to look up IPs and shit, I'm going to be gone for a while and shitpost here now and then, but in all of my tin foil hat paranoia, for all of your DDOS hookups and mausoleum of closets you have ANN, I don't want to be anywhere near you or would want to be any of you in the near and far future. Remember, we're the shitposting "bottom of the barrel" gossip forum, you're the major entertainment news outlet site. We have legal leeway and the right to access this despite unethical legal strongarming and licentious bureaucratic imposition, you control the flow of information and make yourselves the standing entity that towers above all else. We have the honor of avoiding provoking shit with others, you have the history of doing this sort of thing. I do not want to be you or related with you anyway right now or then, ANN, happy new year and may whatever you all believe bring mercy to whatever awaits you, because it does not look nice.

Happy New Year WeebWar KiwiFarmers. Watch your step and steer far clear if the signs are there, it's going to get ugly for these guys, someway, somehow.

So, instead of withering and dying like PULL, ANN will be subjected to a cleansing directed by their Kadokawa overlords?
