Dandadan's premiere has an infamous graphic scene where our female lead is stripped naked and assaulted by aliens. Surely that should be ProblematicTM to our old friend Caitlin, right? Well...

Honorable mention goes to her Trillion Game review going "all art is political, rich man bad".

That's how you know ANN is an astroturfing operation. "Don't insult the new big FOTM shonenslop we put thrembillion dollars into advertising, but have at it with the isekai even we're tired of!" She should have lambasted this show as all types of problematic (the Wikipedia synopsis says the main boy gets castrated and they have to find his testicles) and used it as a way to discuss how media misogyny and sexualization is celebrated if the material is framed as "high quality", but alas.

Bitch, shut the fuck up. Talking makes you look like a fucking stupid asswipe. So fucking much your stupid ass brought me back. Congratulations, the watchdog of scumfuck lowlife "elite" anime loser fuckfaces is fucking back with a vengeance. Back with a vengeance because every-fucking-place on the fucking internet is asstight as if to prepare for the "final battle with God Emperor Trump" and every fucking ultra left nerd is losing their shit again after the election and playing safe space like if it's a fucking fallout shelter. It's time to fucking lose my mind and waste my fucking time.

You know the fucking reason why people don't give a fuck about voting for Trump? Oh it doesn't sound like you fucking know. I'll scream it for you into your ear and hope it will get through that dense piece of shit you call a brain.

It's because everyone knows both sides fucking suck a fuck and both sides fucking suck ass. Trump has the fucking benefit of looking out for his own interests while wrangling all of the mouthbreathing dumbasses stupid to believe anything he fucking says, and any one who follows suit deserved to fall in turn. He is a puppet and anyone who believed wholesale any of the shit outside of actually making the country unfuck itself business wise are fucking suckers in full.

If so called "God Emperor Second Coming of Hitler Trump" brought about America's full fascist take over, I guarantee that we all would not have the internet to fucking whine and bitch and complain about anything we wanted to. The fundies care about getting rid of that pesky little thing called Separation of Church and State. Trump? Trump only cares about his bottom line. If Trump got rid of that, the actual fascists wouldn't hesitate to plunder his vaults and claim "it's in the name of God" or whatever asspull excuse that is equivalent of whatever your side of the shitfield spews out for you to huff. That includes you too, you brain estate landlord leeches, on that train of thought. Nowadays, Trump is smart to not surround himself with fucking morons who will issue him Number One With A Bullet.

"B-b-b-b-b-but he's emboldened so many!!!111" And? When some fucking white trash punks kept pestering me on the side of the road after he was first elected, was I not able to call the cops? When you fucking crazed deranged fucktards decided to pull out the sniper rifles and tried to fucking kill him and only emboldened his side, was that not bold of you? You think any of the stupid dipshits on "his side" didn't suffer any consequences for the shit they pulled? You're still free to call backwoods America fucking backass and full of stupid conceited assbrains mired in their own small town pride over being corporate slaves and on their fucking knees praying that somehow Jesus will come again and give them 72 virgins from the Muslims and make "Heaven On Earth" (which will never fucking happen). You can still do that, you know. I know I fucking did and I fucking love that I have that right. No fucking sirens here.

You think that your fucking vote and who you get into office determines the fate of the entire universe? I don't hate the government, but I hate the fucks who think being in office determines everything and play victim thinking "we don't have any rights boo hoo hoo". They comprise of both of you stupid fucks playing tug of war with your own cocks like the smug fucks you are. EVERYONE IS FUCKING FED UP WITH YOU AND THE "CHUDS". IF YOU STUPID FUCKS ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT DEFYING SHIT CONVENTIONS OF SOCIETY, YOU WOULDN'T SUCK UP TO THE PARADIGM AND MANAGE TO MAKE A NEW PATH YOURSELVES. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO PLAY HERO IN FUCKING MINECRAFT, YOU FUCKING WANNABE COWARD LOSERS.

Oh, hi ResidentGrigo, still being the apologist gift that keeps on giving? Yeah, keep on being that bitchass apologist bottom you always are. You fighting censorship with your pathetic ass methods, especially in another country that you never fucking lived in or know of its actual customs and how it thinks, is fucking pathetic, and fucking 30 years too fucking late. But keep at it! It's a fucking laugh and a half! Knowing you, maybe you'll go join Zac Bertschy in a few years!

Whoa-whoa-whoa what pornography clauses are Superman and Batman comics violating? The hell is he even talking about?

>ANN still using Trump as their boogeyman to insert Western politics into Japanese anime
Tale that is about as old as time.

 

[I Love Beef]

Whoa-whoa-whoa what pornography clauses are Superman and Batman comics violating? The hell is he even talking about?

The guy is a shill who will suck the radiation mutant dick of the worst of the US Comics industry and community and constantly deny that its implosion upon itself into the 1990s never happened and never had serious repercussions. Also something about making Superman and Batman canon gay or something because wokeshit agenda 2010s and catering to whoever is in the spotlight and hence throwing money hypothetically. I can't wait for him to flip his shit when WB does a 180 and "supports the patriarchy/fascist party". ResidentGrigo's still drinking the classic 2000s ANN elitist Kool Aid thinking he's going to get laid because "he made anime better and accepted by whining about it". I can't wait to see how he feels about the subject when he's on his deathbed and having wasted his life with his head up his ass for most of it.

Also made still relevant:

Usually, forums' newer users tended to provide more pedestrian and pedantic commentary but ANN's oldheads is just filled with sychophants and it's only newer users saying anything of particular value.

FOUR shows whose rating isn't a normal score. That was more or less a trademark of Zac's wasn't it? Though other reviewers have done it too

To reply to you about this with my head on straight, Zac and his cocksucking ilk are a huge fan of Sturgeon's Law, which is the Ubermench Nerd perspective that 90% of everything is crap, and therefore worthless, therefore 10% of everything is superior and worthy. When the reality is that 10-20% of everything is "good", 60-70% is entirely subjective and up to human spectrum of preference and has overlap with "good", and 10% is actually, truly, awful. In my honest experiences, people who live up to Sturgeon's Law tend to really fuck themselves over and don't act human, which ANN in this case doesn't count as human.

>ANN still using Trump as their boogeyman to insert Western politics into Japanese anime

I wish they focused on more pressing, actually detrimental matters at home. Like child marriages made legal in certain states, cross country human sex trafficking, spousal murder insurance schemes, and how heterosexual interests have been coopted by sociopathic warhawks and the less savory of corporate and upper class America than it blaming it entirely on "the citizens and the always evil American system", and oh, how American drawn media is always regulated to be the bottom bitch of the entertainment industry and is always monitored by the FCC. Then again, this is a corrupt news company that used an actor's scandal as a smokescreen to protect their rich sponsor's sex pest and predatory anime convention activities for ages and let sex pests and potential serial killers in the making into their staff. Mental health and keeping a sense of touch with reality also doesn't seem to be in their cards either, it's why they'll bitch about fake nonexistent shit while they ignore reality's actual problems happening right outside their doorstep or in their closets. Can't wait for theoretical days like economic collapse and social disorder walking right up to their door and demanding blood. Sadly suffering and extreme misfortune is the only way they'll possibly ever learn, and even then, I don't think it will get through to them.

He was a lolcow before WW, that's why I'm surprised there never was one made.

I honestly take it as a good thing. Anyone on the street would see from a mile away that they define the term of "basement dwelling bitter nerd losers", and no one in their right mind would ever associate with them because of how smug and arrogant to the point of inhumane twistedness they are.

That being said, even if they are not lolcow material, they are just that obviously repugnant to any sense of decency and are what Gamergate asswipes claim to be whining about. Projection, truly a mean, savage bitch.

 

[I Love Beef]

Shut the fuck up, BadNewsBlues. Your head dipshit Justin Sevakis already does that. Even worse is that he's a fucking localizer and he never ever made shit. Fuck, Adult Swim has ties with Dave Merrill, the collusion is as apparent as the LA smog. At least when the author does it, they don't have your or your fuckhead pathetic nerd cabal rubbing their asses and phalluses on it.

Let us know when the next amount of bad news is you eating a gun in minecraft, jerkoff.

You want to know what I want to see? An anime/manga about reasonable anime fans in the United States of America taking on elitist and entitled but dangerously delusional asswipe US/Westerner anime fans who hide within secret societies and orders that also collude with criminal activities and political think tanks.

I think it's about time that the USA deserves some no holds barred in-media shitkicking too, and the constructive kind, for a bunch of pussies who can't take what they give and never realize the power of their own constitutional rights.

By a bunch of do nothing weeaboos who believe their own lies that they're nothing but fans and have their self-hate come out as projective dysphoria onto others, it comes with their territory. (edit) Outside of that remark, it's not wrong to want something different, but Ass News Network and their bitchmade audience apparently never grew out of the edgelord killing Barney and Sesame Street phase. Only manchildren enjoy rapist and depraved serial killer levels of destroying beauty and innocence, and with just as much if not more psychotic baggage. Again, Zac Bertschy was a closet repressed boy fucker who was abused by his father and hated anything cute.....

You know what disinterests me? Naysayers and contrarians hoping to feel important by inserting themselves unwarranted into topics that aren't about what they want in life like selfish bastards. It's funny how in other places, mods and admins or even a good community would not hesitate to tell them to get out and be issued a warning to stay relevant on topic. On ANN however, if you fit the criteria, know all of the funny handshakes and passwords and stroke the backs of the corrupt heads juuuuusssstttt right, you can get away with murder as long as it adheres to the agenda.

This reminds me of when the ANN forums told off /m/'s biggest lolcow for treating his interpretation of an anime as objective fact, all because this anime is one of their sacred cows. Hypocrisy much?

"He's challenging our worldview!!! RREEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

aylmao, I love how they are sucking off Satoshi Kon despite the reality that he'd fucking hate their guts for being another part of the spectrum of backass otaku social retards. I also duly remember that someone (likely @Kari Kamiya ) stating this years ago. I'm not too keen on DuelGundam999 but he sure gave them a good fleecing of dignity and laughs from them. Only Zac Bertschy man, only they could enjoy a Dutch Oven with him under the sheets.

Also, the cherry on the shit sundae:

Hey losers, why don't you do the same? But then again, this was from 2016, so that train left the station a loonnggggg time ago. I suppose "practicing what you preach" must be "too religious" for them.

Also, I find the irony of Top Gun speaking about how "these shows are targeted entirely to male otaku" when he's of the mindset of all of those "chuds" ANN hates and he comes the ass end of western nerd fandom, which is so defensive and pearlclutching of its hobbies yet hopelessly clings on the false hope of "being accepted" while constantly ignoring the American comics and cartoon industry getting reamed up the ass by the powers that be dictating what it is allowed to put out as entertainment since the 1950s. Only in such a reeking pit of bitter festering resentment and entitlement for being spectators that they are so cucked that they can't fathom that girls and women can also enjoy being geeks and nerds too.

To Anime News Network, who are obviously reading this: Of note, I also I'm very aware I am on a place where "the chuds and terrorists lurk on the internet", and is supposedly where all of "God Emperor Trump Second coming of Hitler" followers all conspire to blow up every metropolitan center in Minecraft, but I also believe in the First Amendment, you see. Problem is, there's also something called the "human condition", which is something very vast yet I doubt would ever be understood by the folks like you at Ass News Network, and this also includes the concept of "consequences". I am only pushed to be here because everyone pozzed online is transforming their own websites into safe spaces and they are swarmed in fear and cowardice, as well as knowledge of their hypocrisy is ruining them, which is just as annoying as the "chuds" thinking God will come back and bring about the Thousand Year Kingdom despite that never happening every fucking time they've said that.

tl;dr I have to re-emphasize, this place is the last fucking line where freethinking is allowed, all because you fuckers are still stuck in the same mindset as your despised enemies and are too afraid to let go of your greed, pride, and entitlement to a world that rejected you and can't fathom actual problems that really are ruining society. I continue to resist you and your influences and mock you for it because you jokes should not ever get a hold on anime fandom as an influence and should be mocked accordingly for all of its pathetic attempts as well as properly deserved justice for all of the awful shit you tend to bring by it. Though mostly for the fun of knowing "man I am glad I am not these fucking losers". Please keep being the gift that keeps on giving. Please make a note of it.

I missed the article, so I dunno what he said. I just wanna know if we have a picture of what he looks like and if he's actually dating anyone/married or was back in 2021. Kids sometimes will randomly run up and hug you if they like how you look or have something on your person they like too. On Halloween last year, a girl from the neighborhood randomly hugged me while shrieking "I luv your coshtume!" because I had a Team Rocket shirt on, and it was funny and cute. If my husband was dressed as a Pokémon character, she probably would've hugged his leg, too.

So if this was just a one-off moment that happened to him, not gonna use that against him unless there's proof he's a pedo.

That's true, but I forgot to add context: He doesn't post pictures of himself and is apparently living in Japan. He's a teacher and claims to get drawings of his waifus from students. He doesn't post much on Twitter/X.

It is a shitty and ultra-pretentious knockoff of Akiba Maid Wars. They all think like fauxprogressives like Steven Spielberg and like they're still in the 1990s where they think they must "enlighten the world" and that Japan is Whitey's suck up, when in reality that's the symptom of local Asian American oppression by Hollywood champagne socialist leftoids and Richmond slave house rightoids (besides, Good Korea is Whitey's suck up). Also them thinking Japan is a William Gibson novel. Therefore, any Japanese convention of life must be subverted and challenged to "make them free" despite no one fucking asking for it. Remember, moe stuff is all made by Japanese corporate powers in megacorporations that rule the world! Oh wait, I have a grasp on reality!

I also remember them shitting on Dark Magical Girl Site. I guess it wasn't anti-Japan enough for them. Gotta love the "free world crusaders" not being able to admit to their own nation's faults and try to do anything about that.
