Please do not mention anime on @null's website - Satan/Kirito/Son of Nothing /Bastard Samurai/Big Bad Fish memorial thread

So they've had years and years to draw weird ass porn of it. I guess that makes "sense" . Then again, there's probably not a lot of tintin smut even half a century after its release, so it must be something about those cartoons in particular that makes a ?late teen/early adult? get up one day thinking "I shall now spend many hours drawing this character covered in cum" .

Yeah, the fact that there’s more than one female character in them.

^Incidentally also Kirito's expression when he finally got banned
There was a shit ton of gay porn on Tumblr after the 2011 CG movie came out. I wonder how much of it survived the purge seeing as that kind of stuff doesn't tend to end up on booru sites.

The fact that there's like a hundred of them

all young looking, mostly late teen/early adult

all dressed up in traditional Japanese or fantasy garb

living in a place where there are only young looking girls, no men at all

also they're like all dead or ghosts or monsters or whatever the fuck and that's why they have superpowers and the ol' "She's ACKSHULLY a thousand year old dragon" excuse

and the games are autistic bullet hell shooters that look like this:

it's a perfect framework for hentai and a heavy duty autism magnet all rolled up into one
 
You youngsters don't know this but Anime actually has a dark history, my son Null is right.
Anime was actually the brainchild of Hideki Tojo and the Imperial Japanese Army. During World War II as last ditch attempt to win the war, Tojo invented anime to turn soldiers into women that's why you see that so many anime posters that are faggots or trannies. They've been attacked by 70 year old propaganda straight from the Propaganda arm of the IJA. In the 60s the Japanese rediscovered this weapon and began to export it to take over the world without a single bullet.
 
Imagine screeching about anime avatars and then screeching even louder because someone made fun of you on a website all about making fun of screeching people. Doesn't help that Null had to consult with his own Discord server despite condemning those and changed someone's avatar out of spite. I just don't even know anymore.
If you can't stand anime avatars why would you use Discord?
Because most of the people who watch my podcast are not forum users or are just lurkers. It's a good way to keep in touch. I asked for "the worst popular anime" and "the worst character from that anime" to arrive at the one I picked for Satan, after he made this thread.

For all the complaining things aren't like they used to be, admins fucking around with someone's username/avatar during a chimpout is definitely one of the things that used to be more common.

This is the great problem I face in dealing with politisperging: I am very sympathetic to the idea of wanting to remove political slant from lolcow boards. This idea that I'm actively propping up politics falls flat when you look at my own post activity in 2020.

I'm most active in boards that are about the forum, Internet drama, Internet law, technology in general, and the girlcow boards because they're really funny. I've posted more about Ralph and his nebulous drama than I have A&H combined. I've been more active in a board that's only existed two months and is about clowns in space than I have been in the articles board.

It is very likely this has to do with my extreme exhaustion with politics in general. I don't get any dopamine from looking at the decay of the world and I actively avoid seeing it. I pay attention to as little as I have to: namely, political events which impact the forum's health.


I've thought about this a lot, and I've not come up with any productive solution. I do not believe that simply trying to obliterate political discussion will lead to a healthy or productive result. After sitting on it for literal years now, I've come to a conclusion that the old Internet simply does not exist. It's not possible to have a community that is like the old Kiwi Farms. Especially not one this big. The old Kiwi Farms existed, it thrived, and it evolved.

There's some things I don't like about the forum as it exists, but what I don't like is not much larger than the portion of the site I didn't like in the past. In 2013, we were cruel to the users of the CWC board, and people relentlessly ridiculed a single user of the forum behind his back for years (from which, we still have the :blart: emoticon) and he never knew until years later. In 2014, the forum hated the people in Andrew Dobson's thread. In 2015, there was Deagle Nation. In 2016, election politics. Every year, there was a 'bad' part of the site that people hated.

I think everybody is now somewhat exhausted by politics and the climate of the world, in the same way I am exhausted when I see things I like corrupted by trannies. I tried playing Dwarf Fortress recently and discovered the developer had abandoned it earlier this year for a new graphical version which will never come out, but had added tranny dwarfs to the game before doing so (while leaving a ton of game breaking bugs in). So, naturally, dissatisfied by the political bent of those things, I blame the people at the helm.

Old user X is disenchanted with the site for whatever reason, blames me, and then slowly that seethe builds to a breaking point that, from the outside, is awkward and hard to understand ("null doesn't like anime!"). There are posts by OP where he's saying I'm tolerating this politization simply because it's "my politics", when I don't care. I've accepted my role in the global order (none at all, completely helpless to impact the flow of time and the direction of history) and I've detached myself emotionally from what is going on. I'll probably be forced to get a COVID-19 vaccine to get residency where I'm living, and I'll probably do it, whereas in the past I would have never tolerated such a thing.


There's now a level of disconnect. When 3 mods got into a fight this year I had no idea what was happening, had to deal with it for days, lost three mods in the process, and at this point I don't even remember what happened. I don't even care. People who cause this sort of problem for my site and my life aren't welcome in either. I don't have the skills to deal with interpersonal conflict and the people who did left some time ago.

My MO has been to try and promote people willing to be positive impacts on the site to enable them to be the change they want to see, but these days I don't see those people. Was OP someone who really wanted to improve the site? I don't think so. That's the same with a lot of old users. They are as angry as they are clueless to a remedy. I can't enable angry people to punish arbitrary users. That's not what helps. It's just a good way to piss off people who just want a place to talk about shit they can't anywhere else unmolested.

I don't enjoy seeing people I know and like upset, but I'm not going to contort to appease them either. If the new users are the ones who are going to try and find meaning and enjoyment in the community, then then are the rightful heirs to inherit it.

ye but TL;DR?
 
It's just a good way to piss off people who just want a place to talk about shit they can't anywhere else unmolested.
One one of your more recent episodes, I believe you mentioned something to the effect that you felt the old era of lolcows had effectively ended - that the kinds of walking freakshows that everyone could uncritically just have a laugh at have become sacred cows of a sort, now essentially just mundane if not protected. And politics infuse almost all of the newer breed, leading people to pine for the simple days of a fat autist and his crayola medallion.

By that perspective, this is a forums board whose original purpose has gone somewhat ass-up, whose draw for newer folks (such as my own gay self) is primarily the ability to say shit they can't elsewhere. Now, I like laughing at fat retards and I understand the difference between posting semi-plausible threats and calling trannies hideous, but the same isn't true for a lot of people variously hyperventilating at and alongside and about each other. Some people think it's fine so long as they stay to the containment area; others don't think it will last, yadda yadda.

The winning move may be not to play. Impress on people to grow a thicker hide and take a hands-off approach, and let the chips fall where they may. The worst of the politispergs nearly got bullied off once enough people started laughing at them, so even if I'm too new to fully grasp the cyclic nature of the new hotness, I have to imagine that this frustration, too, will pass into some new form of the old guard getting disgruntled at the change in direction.
 
From what I have seen in Chat, the re-opening of A&N following its temporary closure may have been the reason for Satan/Son of Nothing/Bastard Samurai to start antagonizing Null and eventually actively trying to get banned.

He was celebrating the closure a lot, then got extremely angry at Null when it turned out to be temporary.
In the last few months he seems to have been a lot more active and angry in general.
 
  1. Autist happens to do something interesting that wins him a lot of internet attention
  2. Internet attention goes to autist's head
  3. Autist becomes addicted to internet attention and starts vacantly harassing people for more internet attention
  4. Autist becomes indignant and desperate when he fails to receive his fix of internet attention
  5. Autist begins to exhibit lolcow behavior
This is your brain on drugs, kids.
