[WhyDidIDoThis]

Oh my god, this is glorious. I was considering making a thread on Digi for the longest time. Glad to find out one exists.

I used to be Digi's closest friend back when he was getting started in pony and up until around 2013-2014 (Why do I always end up becoming best friends with lolcows?). One of the last things we did together was spend New Year's Eve at his place. I can safely say his family are some of the chillest people imaginable. But he is hands down one of the most socially awkward, cringy fucks I've ever been friends with (more so than Anthony Aguilar).

First off, one of the first things I found in his room (where I spent most of my time up there) was a box of borderline pornographic lolicon images he kept near his desk. Not even well hidden, mind you. I asked him how he could keep that kind of shit around when his family wasn't shy about coming up to his room without announcing themselves. He said they were aware and didn't care about it. Secondly, he had a bathroom attached to his room, and it was the most disgusting state I had ever seen a bathroom in. We're talking stains everywhere and his shaved hair just laying about on the counter and floor. And in that entire two weeks I was there, it wasn't cleaned once. Third, and this is random, but he'd occasionally kick me out of his room, saying he had to masturbate.

Oh, and although I've long since lost the link to it, there's a tumblr up somewhere that he secretly helped run of masturbation confessions. He shared it in confidence, but since he went full egotistical, autistic dickbag in his later years, I don't mind talking about it. The juiciest confession of all was that he would wait until his family left, dress up in his mom's clothes, put on a hoodie so he couldn't see the majority of his face, stand in front of a mirror, and masturbate while making "sexual loli noises."

Yeeeeeah...

In case anyone doubts whether I was at his house or not, I can always show you the way.

Random picture of Digibro because why the fuck not?

 

[LN 910]

Has Digi dug himself into any more holes lately?

 

[WhyDidIDoThis]

Digi fucks up a lot, but his public fuck-ups are spread apart pretty wide. So this'll likely end up being a thread that constantly dies and is revived.

 

[LN 910]

His friend is a constant source of drama. Maybe we should make the thread about Digi's clique as a whole with a focus on Jessie?

He literally wrote a review for a lolicon hentai on his blog, a decade ago. It's still there today:

Spoiler: WARNING: FUCKED-UP SHIT

Orwell Was Right, 1984 Was Fucking Nuts OR One Giant 'Fuck You' to Loli-bashers OR Holy Fucking Shit This is the Best Thing I've Discovered Ever OR GET READY TO BEAT YOUR SORRY DICK BLACK AND BLUE!!!!!
Posted on June 30, 2008 by Digibro

Before I begin, a special thanks to Wildarmsheero for getting me interested, as well as all the people who released this shit, and no thanks whatsoever to MyAnimeList and Anime News Network who made this a confusing pain in the ass.

Today, I’d like to tell all of you about a very important discovery that I bet you didn’t know a damn thing about. It is the first hentai OVA EVER, released in 1984. This 6-episode OVA was titled, in what may be considered the ultimate ‘I shit you not’ moment, Lolita Anime. You bet your ass it was chock full of delicious, tiny-breasted lolis. Finding out about this thing was a pain in the ass because that very same year, following it’s example, a different company also released an anime called ‘Lolita Anime’ which has been alternatively titled ‘Uchiyama Aki.’ What made this a pain was that ANN had Lolita Anime, MyAL had Uchiyama Aki, and the only other site I found with info about them was half-convincing me they were the same show. Of course, despite the fact that the shows themselves are rare, there’s actually a pretty extensive Wikipedia article for each of them, possibly to clear that confusion. (Naturally I didn’t find those till I’d already spent an hour gathering the info other ways.) Both the Wikipedia article and the ANN entry claim that episode 4 of the original Lolita Anime is findable online, however (recently?) episodes 2, 3, 4, and 6 have been made available on Tokyo Toshokan.

I’ve thus far watched the 2nd and 4th episodes, and man it’s amazing. As far as being lolis goes, the girls seem to be from the Lucky Star school of high school girls who could pass for about 11, all with petite breasts and tiny bodies. Most of the designs are notably 80s, but still fucking hawt. As mentioned in the Wiki article, some of the characters are meant to resemble popular characters at the time, such as the girl in episode 4 who looks like a loli version of A-ko. Because the show hasn’t been subbed, I can’t really say anything about the story except that there was one, as there were the usual talky bits in each episode, but they definitely had a satisfying amount of action in each.

The most absolutely awesome thing about watching these, though, is that every hentai since has been blatantly influenced by this original. It really had everything. There were the discolored or sparkling cumshots, the weird motifs (like a hose shooting water to represent cum), parts where a dick would randomly be shining or invisible, sex scenes where the background would be some random environment, a part where a girl almost gets raped by an ugly old man, plain old rape, bribe sex, apparent incest, bondage, and of course my absolute favorite, each episode had an obligatory lesbian sex scene! It was fucking glorious. Plus, it was all UNCENSORED! Apparently laws were a little different in the 80s or something because there were actually certain positions which has some kind of censor on them, but others were just fine I guess. I can’t give an explanation for that one.

The whole thing is surprisingly good-looking, and shines with the brilliance of a team who knows how to make something good with a low budget. And believe me, the budget was probably low because there were parts where it would do a little frame-by-frame thing or otherwise reuse images, however they more than made up for the lack of fluidity with the way they moved. The sex scenes were what I would almost like to call ‘realistic’. The girls’ bodies convulsed and curled and reacted and the sex scenes were all of pretty decent length. It was… very hot.

Getting away from just the awesomeness of this OVA itself, I was pretty surprised to find out about just how popular loli was back then. You see, it’d be one thing if, like in todays market, there were tons of hentai and a bunch of them were loli, but this wasn’t the case. While there were more being made from 1984 onward, there really weren’t that many hentai made in the 1980s overall and wouldn’t you know it, most were loli. To give you just an impression of how immense this loli craze was, though, we take you to THE longest hentai ever made, Cream Lemon. This OVA covered all kinds of stories, tons of genres, and by it’s end catered to whatever fetish you probably have, totally 40 MOTHERFUCKING EPISODES. There are various episodes available online wherever you find them, so naturally I gave the first ep a go.

This show has a lot more focus on the story than it’s predecessor, and more than most hentai I’ve seen (this one is subbed, BTW). The first episode was about the show’s two recurring characters, a brother and sister who were falling in love and naturally fuck by the episode’s end. The sex scene was just like those in Lolita Anime, leading me to the impression that they would be similar to that in all the 80s shows, though Cream Lemon had a big ass lens flare to censor the boy’s cock and block out the loli’s snatch, though only when it was open. Needless to say, the girl was a super-awesome loli.

So there you have it – the 80s, just like today, were all about fucking little girls, so before you go saying that modern anime is full of lolis and shit, look back at the original. I took the liberty of adding Lolita Anime to MyAL, so go watch it and add it to your list.

In fact, he made a video where he went through a lot of his old written work, talked about how he's improved as a writer, and talked about this post:

https://youtu.be/y0Sxd9m05ok?t=2207

( If the timecode link isn't working, it's at 36:46 )

He admits at the end that it was creepy and gross, but I can't get over just how casually he talks about watching cartoon child porn and implying that he masturbates to it.

 

[LN 910]

it already is

Sorry, I meant there isn't enough being posted on the other members of the PCP, there's a lot of exceptional activity from other members like Hippo and Davoo. I've seen Hippocrit especially get really salty over the dislike ratio of his reviews and Davoo posts pictures of him arguing with commenters onto his Twitter.

And Jessie is in his own league when it comes to drama. The dude goes on egotrips about how he "creates memes." It's funny stuff, honestly.

 

[Animewasamistake]

I just saw this thread exists and i am so glad this fucked up pedo got a thread, off all the "Anime community" edgelords this fuck is the most lolcow worthy. (glass reflections is a twat and Mothers basement is a hack)

I will add what i can when i can.

Fidel Castro salutes you

 

[Picklepower]

With the facial hair and glasses Digi looks like he is about to start a yoga cult or something.

 

[X-Shaped Weeaboo]

Oh boy. Digibro. I have to make a post about Digibro. This should be interesting.

Digibro is someone I have a mild appreciation for as an anime critic and that's about as far as I can throw him. There are tons of caviets with me saying that, but let me get some of the stuff I disagree with on this thread out of the way. Spoilers: I think Digi is very strong lolcow potential in the end so no this isn't me going out of my way to suck his dick like I owe him favors.

, here's Nolan from RebelTaxi's podcast which Digi guested on once

I am extremely wary of any one of the regulars on RebelTaxi's podcast that isn't the Pan Pizza-Man himself. Most of them come off as obnoxious and uninteresting but they are notably confrontational to guests when it comes to their more harsh opinions. Adam of YourMovieSucks fame went on their "Live Action Death Note" Podcast and, in typical YMS fashion, destroyed every aspect of the film and shot-down everyone's mediocre defense of the movie, causing one of them to have a mild sperg-out in the middle of the chat about how they were upset at Adam basically being right. I'd advise caution before taking any of them seriously when it comes to their opinions on others. (Slightly unrelated, but I think the sperg was their Tranny friend, who seems like they might be cow material based on their twitter.)

As for Nolan's tweet itself, and this is just my opinion, but I'm sick and tired of people forcing themselves to be friends with each other just because they're on YouTube and then treating people who don't abide by this shit as outsiders who deserve scrutiny. I think this mentality is why Jim of Internet Aristocrat fame is such a loner; when you're forced to play pretend for PR, you turn into the same hack shills on TV that fake their lives for the fame and convenience. Not that I think Digibro is great for being honest about his opinions of people, but I appreciate that he doesn't bullshit around about what he thinks of others, even if he himself is kind of a joke as a person.

And "being proud of talking about anime": Bitch, you're on a podcast where you whine about baby cartoons. Fuck off, you ain't any better.

making his content boring and uninteresting.

I have to slightly disagree. Slightly. Digi is one of the few anime content creators I can stomach because of how harsh he can be on anime. I have the same feelings towards anime in the modern day; that a lot of it is McDonalds' tier bottom-barrel waifu-bait garbage with rarely any substance and that the industry is really, really toxic for creators. His videos on Sword Art Online and The Asterisk War are pretty good dissections of anime, and his other content can have similar levels of interest every now and again. I think he's right in asserting that people are too quick to label everything as equally garbage rather than have a spectrum that most other media gets to enjoy. Not to get too deep into it, but most idiots I've spoken to believe Bleach and Naruto to be on the same level of awful when that is very clearly not the case.

My problem is that he's very flexible and that's an issue. Digi will talk about anything that's on his mind, and most of the time it's shit no one cares about. Pleeb and the Weeb is trash. His Podcast or other "cast" videos are too long for such simple topics. Some of his content is overly specific to the point where I question the point of it being a video. His other channel of vlogs is aggravating because he will actually talk about anything and rarely be cohesive about it. I like Digi mostly as background noise, but he's one of those people that desperately needs a script because otherwise listening to him ramble, usually while he's drunk, is painful.

His philosophy on dropping as many anime as he does as quickly as he does also gets under my skin. I understand it, but it's also kind of fucking stupid that he won't just let something digest and that he's super strict on letting a show impress him.

I have very small things that I like about his content. I don't hate it and I prefer him over the likes of Gigguk, who's humor comes off as straight autistic to me, Mother's Basement, who's just a fucking chode and won't fess up to it because he's a pretentious hack that probably deserves a thread on here, and Glass Reflection, which is boring as shit and extremely bare bones when it comes to dissection which I find more entertaining than someone telling me "Dis' animu gud' go watch. Buy Deeveedee." And the less that can be said about ForneverWorld, the better.

So do I, an admitted """""fan""""" of his think he deserves a thread?

Yes, because his hypocritical views on anime are aggravating when he'll sit there and fellate loli-trash that's just as bad and pandering as some of the shit he's reamed before. He's also a massive sperg and will likely make a video if you tell him anything he doesn't like. Also his politics are trash. His sexual deviancy is also hilarious when you look at how defensive and virtuous he gets over fan-service in anime.

I don't think any of it is interesting enough for me to follow, but take it from me, he is definitely someone you want to keep an eye on. I don't think him being an ass is a problem, but the amount of drama he gets into is enough to warrant a thread by itself. The loli fetish and pedo-bait trash he faps to and previous pony-faggotry are icing on this shit cake.

 

[BlueSpark]

but I appreciate that he doesn't bullshit around about what he thinks of others,

He pretended to be Mumkey's friend for a long time, even invited him to his house. Then, when he and the others kicked Mumkey off the podcast because that Infinite Jess sperglord was getting trolled he made a video where he trashed Mumkey and talked about how he's always felt that Mumkey didn't contribute much to the podcast and wasn't funny and that they regretted inviting him on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEz1gK6iRVw

That's pretty two-faced.

I was more or less not bringing this point up because the only thing I'd be doing is regurgitating what had been said. Figured everyone would assume I meant barring the exception.

It's ironic that you claim Gigguk's humor is autistic (I respect your opinion) yet you can somehow tolerate Digibro's long, autistic analysis videos. His podcasts are apparently too long for you, yet you probably watched his multi part series on The Asterisk War (each part longer than 10 minutes). I dislike Digibro because he got a huge audience with very little effort being put in to how his videos are presented. He has no charm or good editing in his videos, and yet he has a larger audience than some people who make an attempt at producing high quality videos. He also treated his friend, Mumkey, terribly.

 

[Somsnosa]

That is his best decision and you just sound mad he doesn't like a garbage series you enjoyed. If a series can't drag you in in its first 10 minutes then it failed completely. It goes for everything, from movies to TV shows to videogames, why would anime be an exception?

Edit: also do you need to go tl:dr all the time? Shorten up, will you?

The difference between Digi's analytical content and his rambles/podcasts is the same difference between a phoned in college presentation versus one that is extensively written and well presented.

One is 15 minutes of a guy who barely has an idea of what he's talking about and is constantly fumbling around to make his point, often using comedy or weasel words to make his presentation seem more prepared than it actually is. Contrast that with 45 minutes of someone with well-articulated and distinct points and a clear line of thinking that is consistent throughout. Yes, it's longer, but it's also more engaging and offers more for me to dissect, whether I disagree with it or not being a focal point of the presentation.

Digi's Asterisk War videos are very clearly written, articulated, and analytic with the inherit purpose of trying to convince the listeners of his perspective and reasons he came to the conclusions he has. They are meant to be thought-pieces in a similar vein to RedLetterMedia's mass dissection of the Star Wars films or MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissected videos that greatly elaborate on the criticisms Digi has on the show, it's production, and the atmosphere of the industry and fandom surrounding the show.

And that's the important ticket here: They are written.

I've mentioned in the Angry Joe thread we have that Joe's vlog reviews and discussions are insufferable because of the amount of fumbling, talking over each other, and pauses/inarticulated thoughts that goes into each and every single statement in one of those videos and I'll be damned if Digi, in all his vague contrarianism, gets a free pass for doing exactly that by himself.

Rambles/Vlogs/Unscripted content is a very tedious type of video to watch if the person speaking has a horrible time making points without a script. While they could be shorter than I exaggerate them to be, my perception of time is distorted when I'm watching someone stutter around trying to make one argument and that feels like it's painfully wasting more of my time than someone with a script would be.

This is the one area I can give credit to Digi for and why I'm ok with watching some of his content. Writing is notorious for shutting down or slowing down the process of videos based on the people with YouTube channels I've spoken too. I can't imagine the amount of times the RedLetterMedia crew had to re-read their Star Wars reviews over and over again just to make sure that the script had a natural flow and sounded nice to listen too, let alone trimming out unnecessary details and the like. Editing isn't a slouch either, but it's far more time consuming than it is difficult.

I also had the advantage of watching Digi's Asterisk War videos as they were coming out, rather than sequentially one after another. This allowed me to consume the videos at my own pace, so fatigue wasn't an issue.

As for his simplistic editing, they're videos that he doesn't even seem to edit anymore. Even still, I don't mind content that isn't shoving memes and visuals down my throat and I prefer my content to not be flooded with visuals unless the content is the type to demand it. (Say, a montage or music video.) Still, that's up to preference, and as for "charm" that is something I completely have no ability to argue since Digi is boring as shit personality-wise but that isn't what I go to his channel for. The times he tries to have "charm" he tires to rap like an autistic faggot so perhaps that may be for the better. (Or worse if you enjoy him being a fucking loser, which is also an acceptable option.)

I apologize for this massive elaboration post and if it comes off as me defending Digibro. I'm not.

Digi is absolutely a fucking mess of a person with a horrible character and is a complete tool. I predict he'll devolve into Gaijin Goomba levels of weeaboo faggotry soon enough and if he doesn't, then he's going to discover that this thread exists and make 50 fucking videos sperging about it. He's gonna be rife with content, I promise you that much, but as far as his content is concerned, it's something I can sort-of tolerate.

EDIT: @Somsnosa fucking bodied me on the long-post issue and I only saw it right after I posted this. Fuck.

To answer your point super quickly though, as I said before, I understand his mentality to cutting anime short, but I'm the kind of person that likes to have things fester before I make a conclusion.

I'm not some faggot who gets triggered just because some pedo hates anime that I like, so no that isn't my issue.

Again, sorry for the long posts, had a lot to say.

 

[Somsnosa]

Anyway I do agree that the pizza party people should have an attempt thread. Pan is just a nerd but the trans chick won't stop talking about being trans, and nolan is notoriously a douchebag. Wants to be in the 'western internet artist' group so badly but can't stop himself from talking shit of everyone around him. Also he's a shit artist

 

[Kari Kamiya]

I started watching Digibro only because I thought he could become a lolcow I could follow and laugh at, but he's a bit of a chore to listen to, let alone watch, so I haven't bothered with anything of his in quite some time. Think the last time I even watched him all the way through was either his series on The Asterisk War or when he was talking about Hideaki Anno and recommended one of the man's short films on YouTube (which is a funny short film, actually). But while I do like Evangelion and can respect Anno as a creator, Digibro sucks his dick a bit too much whenever he gets to talk about him, and he hasn't brought anything new to the table in terms of discussing the man.

I tried that "Pleb or Elitist" or whatever the fuck it's called video where he and two of his buddies(?) were talking about Your Name while practically wasted, and I think I ended up zoning out or something. Even with other people, he's too wordy/rambles too much and is boring as shit, but I think he's basically rubbing it in that he's rather elitist or something--or at least towards manga. Just looking through his MyAnimeList profile is enough to tell me the guy's really picky about what he watches (or at least completes all the way through, since it seems he'll at least attempt to watch anything) and it's pretty funny how that alone is enough to piss some weebs off.

And for someone who's a "critic", he sure likes to rate anime based off his own personal feelings toward the piece of work instead of looking at them objectively.

Digibro I think once brought up the reason he wears shades in almost all of his videos is because he blinks too much (light sensitivity or something, I don't remember what he said) and he finds it distracting, and I just have to wonder why he thinks that's such a big deal to even bring up. I don't fucking care that he wears big-ass shades, let alone why, but now I can't help but wonder if there's more to his rapid blinking condition than he lets on. @WhyDidIDoThis did he always wear those shades when you knew him? (Also, thanks for giving us a further look-see into this guy's lifestyle. Kind of not surprised by the gross details, but God, he really is the poster child for your typical shut-in--or more appropriately, hikikomori.)

 

[SwanDive]

I'm a semi-frequent viewer of his. Some of his main channel vids are cool, but I prefer his "after dark" channel and the PCP, mainly because of their length so I can put them on while playing some 4x or grand strategy game. His Pleeb and the Weeb videos with Endless Jess are fucking hilarious imo.

One of the members of the PCP, Ben Saint, gave a nearly 2 hour long "lecture" to the rest of the PCP about CWC if anyone is remotely interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFOIauPQ5XI

That being said, Digi certainly has the "look" of a person who watches youtube, anime, and plays video games all day. And that's by his own omission, not mine. But he doesn't really seem to be ashamed of that fact, and kinda owns it as his own persona. Although, as far as I'm aware, he has cut back on his drinking and has been getting out more as per his New Year's resolution, so good on him for that. But other than that he's just some harmless, homeless looking weeb.

Oh boy. Digibro. I have to make a post about Digibro. This should be interesting.

His philosophy on dropping as many anime as he does as quickly as he does also gets under my skin. I understand it, but it's also kind of fucking stupid that he won't just let something digest and that he's super strict on letting a show impress him.

I have very small things that I like about his content. I don't hate it and I prefer him over the likes of Gigguk, who's humor comes off as straight autistic to me, Mother's Basement, who's just a fucking chode and won't fess up to it because he's a pretentious hack that probably deserves a thread on here, and Glass Reflection, which is boring as shit and extremely bare bones when it comes to dissection which I find more entertaining than someone telling me "Dis' animu gud' go watch. Buy Deeveedee." And the less that can be said about ForneverWorld, the better.

So do I, an admitted """""fan""""" of his think he deserves a thread?

Yes, because his hypocritical views on anime are aggravating when he'll sit there and fellate loli-trash that's just as bad and pandering as some of the shit he's reamed before. He's also a massive sperg and will likely make a video if you tell him anything he doesn't like. Also his politics are trash. His sexual deviancy is also hilarious when you look at how defensive and virtuous he gets over fan-service in anime.

I don't think any of it is interesting enough for me to follow, but take it from me, he is definitely someone you want to keep an eye on. I don't think him being an ass is a problem, but the amount of drama he gets into is enough to warrant a thread by itself. The loli fetish and pedo-bait trash he faps to and previous pony-faggotry are icing on this shit cake.

The difference between Digi's analytical content and his rambles/podcasts is the same difference between a phoned in college presentation versus one that is extensively written and well presented.

One is 15 minutes of a guy who barely has an idea of what he's talking about and is constantly fumbling around to make his point, often using comedy or weasel words to make his presentation seem more prepared than it actually is. Contrast that with 45 minutes of someone with well-articulated and distinct points and a clear line of thinking that is consistent throughout. Yes, it's longer, but it's also more engaging and offers more for me to dissect, whether I disagree with it or not being a focal point of the presentation.

Digi's Asterisk War videos are very clearly written, articulated, and analytic with the inherit purpose of trying to convince the listeners of his perspective and reasons he came to the conclusions he has. They are meant to be thought-pieces in a similar vein to RedLetterMedia's mass dissection of the Star Wars films or MistareFusion's Dragon Ball Dissected videos that greatly elaborate on the criticisms Digi has on the show, it's production, and the atmosphere of the industry and fandom surrounding the show.

And that's the important ticket here: They are written.

I've mentioned in the Angry Joe thread we have that Joe's vlog reviews and discussions are insufferable because of the amount of fumbling, talking over each other, and pauses/inarticulated thoughts that goes into each and every single statement in one of those videos and I'll be damned if Digi, in all his vague contrarianism, gets a free pass for doing exactly that by himself.

Rambles/Vlogs/Unscripted content is a very tedious type of video to watch if the person speaking has a horrible time making points without a script. While they could be shorter than I exaggerate them to be, my perception of time is distorted when I'm watching someone stutter around trying to make one argument and that feels like it's painfully wasting more of my time than someone with a script would be.

This is the one area I can give credit to Digi for and why I'm ok with watching some of his content. Writing is notorious for shutting down or slowing down the process of videos based on the people with YouTube channels I've spoken too. I can't imagine the amount of times the RedLetterMedia crew had to re-read their Star Wars reviews over and over again just to make sure that the script had a natural flow and sounded nice to listen too, let alone trimming out unnecessary details and the like. Editing isn't a slouch either, but it's far more time consuming than it is difficult.

I also had the advantage of watching Digi's Asterisk War videos as they were coming out, rather than sequentially one after another. This allowed me to consume the videos at my own pace, so fatigue wasn't an issue.

As for his simplistic editing, they're videos that he doesn't even seem to edit anymore. Even still, I don't mind content that isn't shoving memes and visuals down my throat and I prefer my content to not be flooded with visuals unless the content is the type to demand it. (Say, a montage or music video.) Still, that's up to preference, and as for "charm" that is something I completely have no ability to argue since Digi is boring as shit personality-wise but that isn't what I go to his channel for. The times he tries to have "charm" he tires to rap like an autistic faggot so perhaps that may be for the better. (Or worse if you enjoy him being a fucking loser, which is also an acceptable option.)

I apologize for this massive elaboration post and if it comes off as me defending Digibro. I'm not.

Digi is absolutely a fucking mess of a person with a horrible character and is a complete tool. I predict he'll devolve into Gaijin Goomba levels of weeaboo faggotry soon enough and if he doesn't, then he's going to discover that this thread exists and make 50 fucking videos sperging about it. He's gonna be rife with content, I promise you that much, but as far as his content is concerned, it's something I can sort-of tolerate.

EDIT: @Somsnosa fucking bodied me on the long-post issue and I only saw it right after I posted this. Fuck.

To answer your point super quickly though, as I said before, I understand his mentality to cutting anime short, but I'm the kind of person that likes to have things fester before I make a conclusion.

I'm not some faggot who gets triggered just because some pedo hates anime that I like, so no that isn't my issue.

Again, sorry for the long posts, had a lot to say.

Holy shit these text walls are fuck'n great!

Did this thread get hijacked by a bunch of Digibros? The giant walls of text paired with the Halloween icon make the whole thing look like one man's autistic ramble.
