| Half of the words you mentioned, I didn't even know they existed. And I watched anime for 16 years lol. Guess this stuff is even older than that...lmao kycnui said: deg said: Endless 8 ruined that franchise to the ground.

HeruruMeruru said: Lucifrost said: There is a phrase I heard from you, and only you. I don't need to know what it means. Well this does a better job explaining this dark point of history than I ever could: https://fanlore.org/wiki/Yaoi_Paddle Naturally these were often accompanied by glomping, and both were banned around the same time. Allegedly someone had their pelvis shattered by a yaoi paddle at a convention, and glomping started falling under the umbrella of assault. |

| I miss the yaoi paddles. It was the rise of the tumblr/twitter generation that got them banned. No fun allowed. |

| You've re-invited the word glomp into my memory and that is a sin for which you will not be forgiven. Thankfully "otaku" is going out of fashion. I've openly shared my annoyance with westerners using the word otaku mostly for the irony embedded in the reasons most of them prefer to use it. Hard to think of other examples, but it is less common for people to interject random Japanese (read: kawaii), and if they do it is more obvious they are likely preteens whereas before they could've easily been 30. |
  |
| Ah yes, I remember using the word "Japanimation". |
 |
| "Nakige" means crying or something like that. It refers to shows in the vein of Clannad. Usually VN adaptations, there used to be a lot of them in the early 2000s. Most are pretty terrible so it's no wonder we don't use that term anymore. |

I hate it so much I'd rather eat deep-fried cockroach soup from a bowl of skin than have it exist. Edit: Also the term "peak fiction" (had multiple aneurysms typing that) Edit: AND "dOwN bAd" (had a stroke typing that) |

| Bishie I see used quite a bit even now. I mean I use husbando when referring to my favourite male characters. However if I'm crushing on a male characters, even if he's not my favourite I'll still call him bishie, ifvI find him attractive enough. Otaku is considered even now insulting, at least in Japan (like geek or dork). Weeb is insulting in the western world, as far as I know. I don't mind being called an otaku, but I would pile drive the person who calls me a weeb. I may love japanese culture and some of it's subcultures. However I wouldn't say "I'd prefer to be a japanese citizen, in stead of what I am". |

asiank0ala said: HeruruMeruru said: "Gar", a male character who is manly and badass but also virtuous and kind. I rarely see it used nowadays and when I do people ask what the fuck it means. since when did Gar mean "virtuous and kind" lmfao “In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.” |
| Eroge is one that I can think of. Nowadays people just say dating sim/visual novel, if they use eroge it's probably in reference to older adult visual novels from the 90s & 2000s. |

| I always thought the term "Japanimation" was silly even as a kid. I've seen some guys in their 50s that still say it. Glomp sure is a throwback tho. Everyone should be glad that one faded away. |

TheFireNinja said: I've been seeing some people replace the word "weeb" with "incel." Which just seems like people getting more extreme with their insults and dumbing down the meaning of words at the same time. In my head, "weeb" is similar to "nerd" or "otaku", whereas "incel" implies a degree of misogyny not normally found with those other types (though it's possible for a person to be both). |

HeruruMeruru said: First off, probably the most famous, though before my time, is "Japanimation". Yep, before "anime" really took off as the word for Japanese animation, many people called it "Japanimation". Before there was an anime section, if you wanted to buy or rent anime, you had to look in the Japanimation section at your local Suncoast. The term fell out of use in the late 90s, but I've actually heard someone use the word as recently as 2009. being an Otaku myself since the mid-90's, i'm only too familiar with the term... deg said: Haruhism or Haruhi franchise is much forgotten now this days i was there, too. God, has it been so long?!?   |

There just aren't a whole lot of nakige releases in general, like no more than a dozen releases in a single year at most with the average maybe half that. The ones that do get a English translation for the wider audience, they cumulatively would average over at least a 7.5. I am of the view that the term hasn't fallen out of use in the circles it can generally be seen in. |

HeruruMeruru said: I actually loved how quickly it turned from a term people would throw at the community as an insult, to a term we called each other as a joke, then finally just something the community called itself. Words are just words, it was so powerful to see people just steal the word for themselves."weeb" seems to be the more popular term. Not much other terms come to mind though. "Big 3" as a concept died forever ago, but I still see it being chucked around a bit more often a few years ago. It is more pretty much dead as a term now, and for good reason. |

| I noticed with someone's help that the word homolust became forgotten, mostly because clamp stopped being popular but I tell you, that was a very used word. It basically means the idea that a dude is lusting for another dude, those who read tsubasa know. |

_cjessop19_ said: If there’s one word I’d like the community to fall out with, that’d be “mid” This is something I can wholeheartedly get behind, and while we're at it let's add "cringe" too the dustbin of history as well |
| Newhalf even though that is a legit hentai term as well, but it's fallen way out of favor and we just say futanari or futa for short now. |

Well I am rather partial to the genre myself but the main drawback is that they're often rushed. Compressing an 80+ hour game experience to a mere 12 episodes doesn't often yield positive results. What's a recent nakige release that you think was good? |

| god i feel old. the only one of these words i don't know is "gar" and some of them i had no idea fell out of favor... |
| I guess I'm too young to have even heard of half of these. And I guess that's a good thing |
Hoppy said: Newhalf even though that is a legit hentai term as well, but it's fallen way out of favor and we just say futanari or futa for short now. I always encountered "newhalf" as a term for male to female trans. It wasn't just used in hentai. epidemia78 said: "Nakige" means crying or something like that.

I like most of the ones I've seen, but that may be because I rarely watched any under 20 episodes. I believe part of the reason we now get fewer such adaptations is that the games themselves are not as popular as they used to be. |

| I remember most of those words mentioned in op, expect glomp and gar. Never heard them used, but I guess they didn't catch on here just like weeaboo word neither. Bara in a way. It's more like old word that for a reason still sometimes gets used by English fans while it's usually called just gay comics/ML these days. Lime and lemon in certain circles, but those weren't limited to just animanga. Also somewhat related I don't quite much see people saying "crack ship". "Rare pair/ship" even more often. AMV culture isn't so thriving these days and I don't remember when I have last time heard/seen someone use word "mep". |

Lucifrost said: @Catalano It could be that I'm sheltered, but I never felt there was anything gay about Tsubasa. When I hear gay CLAMP, I think of X and Lawful Drug. as always, it's the fans who exaggerate. fai and kurogane's relationship made the fans horny and there was also fuuma's obsession towards some character I forgot. They were the ones who called that "homolust". I am not saying tsubasa is gay but it made the fans think about gayness (if it makes sense) |
|
Lucifrost said: @Catalano I understand that, but I still think it strange. Out of everything CLAMP has done, why was it Tsubasa that inspired the new word? Did nobody fawn over the homoerotic subtext in X? maybe because of the popularity and the clamp fans it got along the way, tsubasa being an amalgamation of lots of clamp's works |

What's a recent nakige release that you think was good? You've liked clannad and little busters from what I saw in your favs, so I guess you could go for summer pockets. It's another recent release from the same developers. I haven't personally gotten to that one, so I would personally recommend nanairo reincarnation because of that and the youkai/oni charas. It got a recent TL sometime in 2020 I think and it is a decent title. Can't say the same for summer pockets that I haven't played yet. It has kind of come into the fate/stay sort of mainstream and the ratings could be very bloated, as is common. Also, after reading lucifrost's comment a different thought struck me, I think you may have been right considering animes of nakige titles losing out in popularity over the years may have taken the word out of usage in the anime community. Usage of the word must have seeped into the anime community due to the sheer popularity of those shows for a while. Nowadays, however, shows like "kamisama ni natta hi" just don't get that popular, i guess. You're completely right in that most of the 12 ep compressions are bound to be bad, and I guess even anime originals may not have the same reception anymore. |
