So I'm watching Chuunibyou...

If I'm being completely honest, I was under the impression that those very things, were what got people smacked with 'IB is not your blog' -- Something you've said quite a bit, so it seems pretty contradictory that you, in fact, want people to discuss real life stuff. Maybe it's just the non-amusing variety, like people wanting a quick response from IB as a boost in morale before a job interview. This is where our discussion should [hopefully] become a little more relative.

I understand what you want, you may not think so, and I admit I have made that a little difficult to see, but I do. I'm pretty sure, at least -- you want less filler. Something to be really amused about, less threads that offer more indifference than humor. I can see that. I personally don't mind if someone is stressed out before an interview or exam, or some similar stressful undertaking, so they post a quick synopsis of their day, in hopes that his/her IB buddies will lighten their anxiety with some well-intentioned buffoonery*.

[size=5]Are these threads without any real merit? Most probably. At the risk of spewing a nauseating cliche, laughter/amusement, no matter how minor or negligible, is the best medicine. These jackasses in IB and their typical jackhole responses are quite possibly the most effective thing to bring you from a minor panic attack typical of the cataclysms of everyday life, back to the happy place of bullshitting with your buddies. No, this is not my attempt at chirping 'But IB makes you feel better!~', I'm just stating my opinion -- that I don't feel certain things are mindless filler. IBfags generally don't want hugs to feel better, they want colorful insults or random shit that makes you laugh, takes your mind off it. I'm just saying.[/h]

I wasn't looking for a pat on the back, not that defending myself will do me any service, but I wasn't. I understand there are more relevant forums, but I didn't want to discuss it on an in-depth level, and.. I understand now that you feel that sort of thing is part of the problem. I guess... I just get kind of bored of consistently seeing only Jewtube threads, or 'my mom caught me jerking it' threads*,

[size=5]*although my lack of amusement in the latter is more due to the fact I have no similar stories.. partly because I don't have a penis, and partly because my parents were the strange, rare, 'Idgaf' variety.. but that's completely besides the point.[/h].

A lot of the Jewtube videos are usually the strain of bizarre or messed-up variety that completely wreck your brain, a clip of a vocaloid, or some other miscellaneous thing I can't think of -- It's not typical to find something genuinely funny. I mean, there are the rare gems, but... well, they're rare. My point is.. Those two.. arguably three main forms of 'high quality' threads, don't allow for much variety.

Sometimes... I laugh harder at the regs completely BSing a response to a random filler thread, than a supposedly hysterical video or anecdotal story thread. I'm no longer attempting to contest your opinion because I get it, I just took a look at the first page and I was disheartened to see what you mean. I just think a little variety thrown in makes for a more colorful forum experience... [that came out really stupid, but.. the point remains.]



Not offended... noted. Perhaps unfortunately bemused?



I understand.



Not that this has any relevance whatsoever, but I'm not that type. Just would've been nice to know at some point, I wasn't included in the mass majority that you despise with a burning passion.

With all due respect, as awesome as it would be to see more monocles, top hats, and moustaches... I would shoot myself if IB became a pretentious sinkhole of top-shelf discussions. Improvement? Absolutely. "Total Refinement"? Leave that for SD. It's nice once in a while, every now and then I like to visit SD to partake in intelligent discourse on a subject I find great interest in... but I'd be, for lack of a less annoying term.. 'sad', if F! lost this oasis of douchery, where the everyday perv can let out the roaring asshat within to troll, joke, occasionally verbally abuse, and amuse themselves and their own kind.
