    268 KB What makes /a/non different from you average weeaboo/narutard/anime fan Anonymous 09/22/11(Thu)19:25 No.55007158  
    Im just curious as even though our taste all vary greatly we all have the somewhat same mentalitly when it comes to anime/manga.

    What is that made us different from those who still roleplay on anime forums, only watch the big three, or curse themselves for their nonjapanese heritage?

    I personally know that before coming to /a/ I had never joined a anime forum as I knew they were shit at the time when I was still trying to build my power level, got out the big three back when I was in early highschool, and found it retarded when people tried to use words like kawaii or try to bring anime up in real life.

    Any reason why you think this is?

    I may be made fun of for saying this but it was because we grew up to extent.

    Yeah we can still be immature about it at times (ok most of the time) but we look at anime/manga from a different view and discuss it more in depth at times.

    Our tastes vary a huge amount. What sets most of us apart is that we enjoy it and don't bother the fuck out of everyone around us preaching that anime and Japanese heritage is god tier. Not saying it is or isn't it's the fact that most of us would rather be perceived as "normal" to society.

    I'm an underage faggot but I usually just lurk and pretend I'm over 18 to be in 4chan.

    Yes, I am very aware of the stigma the underage has left. But it's not like I can really do anything about it. I find it attention whoring that I'm even announcing my being underage.

    I'll just go fade back into anonymity, just wanted to say I'm underage to provide a general consensus on the age variety of /a/.

    What makes /a/ different? More freedom in expressing opinion. Providing a different point of view makes /a/nons think twice of their own opinion, thus developing a sense of taste quite different from the average anime fan. But that doesn't justify how most /a/nons opinion's are still shit though.

    The mean of the word weeaboo had kind of changed over the course of it's overuse.

    Basically, what it means is that liking anime != liking Japan. Same way how I love chinese food, yet would never want to live in China. Liking an aspect of a country: be it their culture, an export or something else, does not instantly make you a diehard supporter of said country.

    That's what differentiates us from weeaboo. We love the animu, but the majority of us realize that Japan is yet another shitty country with it's own host of problems, while weeaboos think it's some kind of golden land where a fat fuck can watch anime all day, and then go have sex with a beautiful japanese woman.

    I think most of us can admit to at least having been underage when we first started here. I've been here for five years now, and I just turned 20. So I've been underage here longer than I've been of age. And yet I never once got called on it, except for when people didn't like my opinions.

    Most underagefags can get a feel for this place after some lurking and stay under the radar. It's only the true retards who reveal themselves, and even then I've found that age doesn't stop morons from acting like morons.

    Well I generally consider the sane /a/non to view his bullshit with some discretion and now shoehorn it into everyday things. I actually enjoy the bitterness of the community that could be considered possible only due to the anonymous imageboard system and feel of the site, although this can be found across all boards.

    I guess I don't think you people to be fags and take anime as a hobby or something to just watch as opposed to some fucking lifestyle or anything beyond that.

    Because really, /a/ doesn't give itself enough credit. Sure we've got some trolling and faggots, but every community has that. More often than not, there are a good number of threads with good discussion in them. You can usually find people talking about all kinds of anime. The anonymity means that you don't have to deal with stupid shit like people attention whoring of using their number of posts to back up their arguments. Yeah there are a lot of underaged, but most of them are smart enough to sound 18+, and the rule encourages a higher level of discussion, when it actually takes place.

    You guys are too hard on yourselves. It really is a nice community. Dysfunctional, yes, but that hasn't stopped me from having some of the most in-depth anime analysis I've ever had here.

    2. This I agree with, /a/ needs to stop acting like their opinion is fact.

    3. There are a lot of image dumps but in between them there are many threads with theories and shit. Just a lot of faggots come along and troll the fuck out of them.

    4. This is meant to be an anonymous board. The name is just there for specific threads. There are many forums where they can circle jerk.

    We congregate here because we can't be judged outside of a single thread, considering the posting system is anonymous.

    The human interaction we are afraid of IRL can easily be avoided by posting anonymously over the internet.

    We don't use forums because you can still be judged, site-wide.

    We have massive online-egos that we obviously can't back up.

    We ridicule each other over shitty taste, although nobody here watches anything aside from what's currently airing.

    We are all socially awkward to some extent, and have very little experience with women.

    We don't discuss anime IRL because we don't have the courage or motivation to.

    We are all caucasian, and spent most of our childhood gaming or browsing the internet.

    We either masturbate to hentai/alternative or have at some point in our life.

    We do not have many friends.

    We pretend we like good anime, although in reality we watch moeshit and series plastered with fanservice.

    We would be defined as losers rather than nerds, faggots, weaboos, or otaku.

    We are all compulsive liars and probably have some minor mental condition.

    This sums up the majority of /a/. If you think otherwise, you are fooling nobody but yourself you fucking loser. Sure there may be some exceptions, but most are lurkers and will ignore this post completely. Suck it up and embrace the truth. It's exactly why you ended up here.

    There's no such thing as misusing sage. If you don't want to bump the thread while replying to it at the same time, you sage. That simple. The only way you could fuck up saging is if you mistyped it and bumped the thread instead.

    There is however, such a thing as misreporting. There are threads and post to report, and threads and posts not to report. And if you do abuse the report function, you can get banned for it.

    The thing with anime is it's only 20 minutes per episode, and can suit the busy schedule of a successful City accountant such as myself. Therefore, older people tend to gravitate towards anime.

    /a/, on the other hand, like the rest of 4chan is extremely self-loathing and self-conscious. As a result, /a/ tries to hide its powerlevel and mocks the hell out of those who don't. If anything /a/ views liking anime/manga as being more shameful than normalfags do.

    http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Weeaboo

    > Weeaboo is a noun/adjective derived from a Perry Bible Fellowship comic, reaching internet stardom after the term was used as a wordfilter for "wapanese" on /b/. Although used in the comic as a nonsense word, it has since become synonymous with "wapanese" (itself short for "wannabe Japanese"). Weeaboos and wapanese are people who believe that Japanese stuff is better simply because it is Japanese, and typically have an unhealthy obsession with the culture and media of Japan (such as anime) while simultaneously managing to know very little about it.
    >/tg/ has a tendency to use the word in a derogatory manner to describe anything vaguely Asian in origin or inspiration one does not like. This often incites the ire of fa/tg/uys who insist on the more precise definition of the term, resulting in rage all round.
    >Of course, the fact that /tg/ tends to name any female orginal character [something]-chan and so many of the drawfags tend to have animesque art styles means that fa/tg/uys are the most weeaboo people on the- *BLAM*
    >In a weird way, one might say that weeaboo has made a full circle, and has returned to its origins - being of a word that means absolutely nothing, keeps getting repeated again and again, and leads to actions that are a complete waste of time.

    To add to this, the main issues with sage come from people themselves. People from other boards come here and assume all posts with "sage" in the email field = an insult.

    It would help if these idiots would stop with the kneejerk reactions to sage. That's the only real issue with it.

    If we can get past that hurtle and start practicing the use of "polite sage", /a/'s post quality could increase a bit.

    I don't see anything wrong with being open about your hobbies, so long as you don't act like a gigantic faggot in public.

    Personally, I make absolutely no effort to hide my power level or reveal it. Such things aren't a big deal to me.

    We aren't afraid to admit our faggotry, unlike narutards who think that wearing hachimaki headbands are cool and "epic".

    No. No. No.

    What the fuck.

    There is a fine line between people on /a/ and those who post on AnimeSuki and the like. The only thing that is similar between the two is that we both watch anime. The mentalities, tastes, personalities, and lifestyles couldn't be more different. You have to be completely new here if you think that the people on /a/ and anime forums are alike at all. There might be a few of them that come to /a/, but they usually don't last too long.

    It's all the same shit displayed in different ways. Every population of people has their trolls, betas, idiots, hipsters, etc. You wouldn't know if you have never been close to another group of people. You choose to latch onto 4chan not because its who you are, but what you are comfortable with.

    All 6 billion of you faggots are all the same, and too stupid to realize it. Don't bullshit yourselves, you're here to interact with people, just like "normalfags" do on facebook. If you were as asocial as you claimed to be, you wouldn't be talking to people all day long. When you look at it, you're worse than normalfags. In fact, it's safe to say that many of you have more human to human interaction than people who sit at a desk all day.

    You are not special, /a/. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. Get over yourself and grow the fuck up.

    I'm probably older than you. And that's just a bullshit defense mechanism, it doesn't make what I said untrue. Go ahead, tell yourself that you have no friends because everyone's an idiot, or you don't like them.

    You have no friends because you don't like yourself. You forgot because your stupid.

    Most of /a/ are Introverts and annoying faggots from gaia tend to be extroverts.
