lol I grew up with cable, like in the late 90s(around 98 when SC/BW was the shit) I recall having had cable for a while but everyone I knew had dial up. I recall later in my teens one of my friends who's parents were cheap still had dial up. He'd tell me "I open a page and go get a cup of coffee and as long as there aren't any images it's usually done loading" AHAHAHAHA shit was hilarious.
Anyway, it gets better.... I was at a store recently and their register still had dial up. Like I was tripping out when I saw the dial up modem and they were like "yeah... we're changing to cable soon"
I'm not trying to make fun of anyone, I just can't believe *ANYONE* has dial up still... in 2013...
I'll add to the thread, now: It pisses me off when people tell me how lucky I am to be tall or thin... they usually use the word 'skinny' which pisses me off even more. Obviously to come off as overly polite I have to flash a grin and bear with it when I'd like to tell them how tactless they are.
Oh god, thought of another... fandom.... loud, in-your-face, can't-just-go-enjoy-it-cause-they-have-to-tell-you-all-about-it-type fandom. MLP fans seem to be this way as are a lot of Touhou fans. I don't care that they like it, I'm *happy* for them. I just wish they wouldn't go around trying to tell everyone about it. I even like the Touhou Project games though couldn't possibly care less about MLP. I hate how every fuckin video on youtube has some kid talking about 'Touhou'(because apparently when you become a super-fan you forget the full title of the franchise, let alone individual work you're talking about) and another talking about 'MLP: FIM'. The '1D' kids weren't anywhere near as bad.
In my experience the pony kids are likely tweens and behave like lil' brats. I don't care that they think their show is SO great, everyone's entitled to an opinion. It's the way I have to look at all these stupid pictures of ponies just trying to get around the internet. They're fuckin' everywhere and the art style isn't to my liking by any means... it's garish and obnoxious. It's like they're *meant* to be obnoxious. The one with obnoxious sunglasses and the retarded one are beyond anything I could imagine.
It's like someone took the cast of Friends and some other obnoxious show and turned them into ponies... and then made them even more obnoxious looking. I'm trying to think of celebrities that are almost as annoying and no one comes to mind. The kid from the Hunger Games movie kind of annoyed me. I'd rather spend eternity with him than one minute looking at obnoxious damn ponies.
Back to the 'Touhou' kids. I'm not *mad* at them for their behavior, I'm not *mad* that they don't like the same things I like, that would be immature. I just can't help being annoyed when they go talk about how "super difficult" Touhou games are or how "awesome" the character designs are and the list goes on. I think we can all agree that Touhou Project games in general are alright as far as danmaku games go but not especially difficult.
As well I think it's obvious the character designs are extremely stereotypical of Japanese pop culture ie anime/manga/etc. Really all anime/manga/etc is like that, I'm sure it's the same for american animation. It's all been done before, it's like you can draw their hair in *this* style or in *that* style and you can color it green or blue or pink or a darker shade of pink to try and make them unique but that's all it is. Without making an unattractive or just plain 'weird' looking character, there's nothing that hasn't been done 10,000 times before. Only the 'ur example' of an archetype should be considered original. Being unoriginal doesn't make something *bad* but it shouldn't be called original and it shouldn't be treated as such.
"Oh, they're all super-powerful witch lolis?" Like... I've NEVER seen that before! The list just goes on and on. I'm fine with the fact that it's unoriginal, I enjoy the games. I feel cliches are a good thing... the best, in fact. Something becomes cliche because it's effective.
Now I'm sure you'll all change your avatars to fuckin' ponies to troll me...
I'd pay for software that detects images of MLP-related content and hides/blocks it. Even if it replaced it with something super-gay. There's not much that annoys me more than MLP shit.
