It is easy to go down in to hell;
night and day the gates of dark death stand wide;
but to climb back up again,
to retrace one's steps to the open air,
there lies the problem,
the difficult task.
Im not offended on any content fakku has. Plus i can just not click on the doujin/tag/scanner/whatever, but i guess just not appearing on the person who has it block for them is the best option so there no complaining on 'eww ntr... fuck all of you people' comments anymore.
It been bugging me for a while. I read weebs bitching about all the animu is in bd form now and i can't watch because i don't have one. Problem is a player is 49$... you can afford to preorder and buy monthly shipments of figs, items and limited editions of animes straight from Nippon every month, but can't afford a cheap bd player? Hell your ps4/ps3 are bd players.
In 2000 i had to switch to dvd from vhs/ld because the market was ending the vhs trend. That dvd/vcd/divx player cost me 129$ and dvd movies/animes where expensive as hell also. Now bd are still a few bucks more like 5-10$... but still even my poorest relative has a cheap shit one and red box.(my mother doesn't need one since she never uses her dvd player.)
I can understand the weebs in the third world and the few areas where tech is expensive to buy point, but these people i talking about come from north Europe and NA. I'm not saying everyone there can afford whatever the cost for one but if your spending 100-500$ or in the term they can understand 10,000 to 50,000 yen a month for figs/straps/artbooks/limited ed collectors set with a extra bonus BD and complaint about you don't have a bd player to play then aren't you complaining about a 50-60 investment to being up to date with tech?
Im not complaining about paying bills and buying food when i spend a lot on weeb stuff. That just the cost of hobby vs life. Living comes first. Not to equate a bd player to living, but in the area of vices and pleasures of entertainment... isn't better to buy the current device for future endeavors then be behind with beta tapes and 8-tracks?
