So it was exactly how it is now?

It's actually pretty tame compared to how it use to be.


It used to be worse?


Yeh, you youngsters had it good! Back in the day not a day went by on the MAL forums without a flame war or two, people viciously disagreeing on everything they said, even basic facts like their own gender. Anno Kano would feature regularly in forum brawls with the low lives of MAL, something of a daily spectacle, and generally you didn't say anything unless you wanted to get insulted.

You youngsters don't know how good you have it! *shakes fist*


Back in your day?

Don't you hate it when people can't tell you're being sarcastic?

Ever heard of Endgame, Fungivore and DemonDog666?

I've had the experience of frequenting the same boards as Endy at one point. I didn't think I'd see that name all the way out here though! Curses.

Anime and video games are equally bad communities. But if I had to choose it would be CoD vs BF3 and xbox vs ps3 battles. Gaming communities main arguments are there.

No. Worst you get in anime forums is Subs vs. Dubs, and even that usually only stays in threads created for that purpose.

In gaming forums, you can't post about your PS3 without some douchebags coming in and going, "lol xbox is better" and then some other douchebag coming in going, "lol @ console gamers pc is best," And don't even think about mentioning Nintendo, or you'll get all that and more.

True, but subs vs dubs I see gets bad when I'm in one.
Especially when you have an obese douchebag who claims all dubs are bad. I watch both because you don't know which is better. If I watch the dub and see the voice acting is bad in a episode or two I watch a new anime and am satisfied with having watched subbed.


Best part was he was acting like a was dub4lifesubsrbad kind of guy.

Not true. It is all personal preference in the end, and that is a FACT.

Especially when you put it so flat out like that, superior. What are they superior at? I know for sure being a PC gamer does not make you a superior bodybuilder or archer.

Depends on the sub-community we're talking about.

MAL is, for the most part, a good forum (it's sure as hell better than /a/ ever was).
At least you can keep a constant DISCUSSION on MAL.

Anime community in general? Again, depends where you look. Here, Good. Forum sites dedicated to one specific shounen? Bad.

One thing I will say about the anime community that sucks is that most of us can't really contribute/have a say in the industry. We're merely side-viewers compared to the main fan base, and if they don't like something that we do (Sakamichi no Apollon, Kokoro Connect solely for that bullying incident), we get boned in the process, don't get more because it sold like crap, and we can't do a thing about it.

But the anime community is one of the more decent communities I've been a part of, as of late.

Superior at everything, especially archery.

good at Mario/Halo/Metal Gear ------> good at nothing
good at Counter-Strike -------> good at everything

But usually subs vs. dubs stays in threads mentioning subs/dubs. With games, it's harder to avoid mentioning console, so people will post that shit in completely irrelevant topics.

Subs vs. dubs can get pretty bad though, and completely hypocritical. "Sub watchers always call us dub watchers mean names just because we watch dubs! We don't attack them for liking subs! They're all just a bunch of weeaboos/elitists anyway!" Makes me laugh every time I see something like that.

Both sides have idiots, just like anything else. It can also be in a general anime thread. Guy says something about Angel Beats one guy says he liked the dub, then a sub4life troll enters and starts a shit storm and vice versa.

Yep. That's why I just sit back and enjoy the fun. "Why would you want to read while you're watching something? It's stupid." "I think that everyone should watch what they want to watch without arguing. People who watch dubs are idiots, but it's their choice."

It can definitely happen in general anime threads, but I don't see it nearly as often as I see that type of thing in video game forums. Then again, it happens everywhere on the internet to some degree.

Indeed.
If you find a particular argument where the attacker has little to no meaning behind what he is saying and he is being ignorant and blatant it is fun to interject. Making those people mad makes me smile. Especially when they post on your wall calling you a kid and what not.

I'd say so.

One of the things I noticed is that there's less USA bashing on GD than there use to be.

I stopped posting on the MSD sub board a year or two ago(maybe longer), so I have no clue how it is anymore.

Just associate with friends only, it's easy! ^_^

One reason why it's hard for me to associate with random peeps is because they're kind of judgmental and one-sided in anime taste ._.
