I may be a member of both, but the Sonic and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fanbase are annoying and many of them are sex-crazed furries, so finding regular fan artwork is extremely difficult and disturbing
There should be two categories of anime fans. Fans of anime, and fans of animu. What's the difference between anime and animu? Anime is the term for Japanese animation; Animu is that low-quality, generic, fan service filled shlock weeaboos drool over.shadyh8er said:We actually have a word for those people: weaboos. And yes, it pisses me off to be lumped in with those people when I tell people I like anime.Xartyve2 said:5. Anime - Isn't the fact that they willingly watch that crap bad enough? Okay, some anime fans are fine but I'm talking about the "KAWAII DESU NANI YAOI BAKA!" type of pocky stuffing, cat ear wearing jerks that clog up the deviantART front page like clockwork.
OT: Chicago Cubs fans are annoying as all hell. Their team has literally gone over 100 years without winning a world series, and they still support them like they're "teh best team evar!" You know your team is pathetic when your announcer is more iconic than the actual team.
EDIT: Oh, and people who defend Duke Nukem Forever. They claim that all of the game's flaws are throwbacks to the old school games. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware we were still living in 1998!
Yeah now that you mention it, I recall hearing a rumor about a group that was prepared to incite a riot regardless of whether Vancouver won or lost.-Dragmire- said:I don't really think sportsmanship had much to do with it. I hear there was a group of people who prepare for events like that and use the the peoples emotions and drunkenness against them to cause riots.canadamus_prime said:No kidding, whatever happened to sportsmanship for fuck's sake?-Dragmire- said:I was watching that on the news. My favorite part was the mass looting.canadamus_prime said:Me thinks you win. Yikes!Avaholic03 said:Montreal Canadiens or Vancouver Canucks fans. All you people citing video game fans...I've yet to see a riot over video games (maybe a trampling or two on Black Friday, but nothing like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihAx8WyXS9o&feature=related])
One chick comes out of a broken into fashion store and say, on camera "I've wanted this purse for a while now!"
The whole thing was pretty nuts.
Not sure how much of that I believe but I do know that a large collection of drunken people can be incredibly stupid and will do anything if enough people are cheering.
I actually made a thread here about how bad the LoL community was a few months ago. Seriously, if I didn't play with IRL friends all the time I would have quit a long time ago.Sunrider84 said:The League of Legends community. Guess why I stopped playing.
On behalf of all normal Americans that play games to have fun and arent asshole douchebags I am sorry.Dragunai said:Yeah I'm Gonna hop on the Cod / Twihard band wagon.
C.o.D players cannot accept that every title since MW1 / COD4 has been a reprint of that.
Not saying its an awful game... it is... but I'm not saying that =P
I use the same call sign here that I do on XBL. I sound either British or American depending on how you hear my mixed accent (South african / middle class English) and so on yet when I played a round on MW2 once I had 2 baby gangsta kids from the USA saying "Get the fuck out of here Dragunai, you fucking Chinese bastard," before I even spoke.
I then said "And how did you discern I was Chinese exactly? OH! you looked at my name and assumed, in that case S3RG34nt D34TH SN1PEZ you must be a ranking sergeant and a well renowned Marksman... Oh you're only 12 and a try hard? Mhhmmm I am disappoint"
Also had various CoD players from the USA ragging me for being British by claiming I live in London as I live in England... guy literally said "Do you live in London" in a mocking voice then instantly dropped out the lobby.
I had 2 English chav scumbags try and fail to give me aggro by saying "Don't you think you're too old to be playing video games," to which I responded "I'm over 20 and playing an 18, I'm the target audience you failed abortion,"
Twilight fans aren't as bad. They prefer to live in the denial that Twilight is simply Romeo and Juliet rebooted with failed Vampires and a chick who is uber suicidal for no other reason than to hook in the emo crowd.
I don't have any IRL friends playing LoL, and it was hard to make friends, so I went back to Heroes of Newerth. I can't believe I actually like this community better, seeing as it is horrid. But I guess that goes for the entire DotA genre.Fappy said:I actually made a thread here about how bad the LoL community was a few months ago.

Hm, don't know if I would be guilty of this, though I've certainly read more than 100 pages. I do drop a few of his ideas or arguments into conversations about various topics sometimes, but to be fair he is a very diverse and opinionated philosopher, and can really be a good catalyst for an interesting debate. His idea of eternal recurrence (and the various interpretations thereof) can link to ideas such as entropy or the big crunch.Carbonyl said:Also, those kids who read approximately 100 or so pages of Nietzsche and constantly name-drop them in every single gorram class they attend, no matter the relevance or context. I mean seriously, who name-drops Nietzche in chemistry lab?
I know this is your opinion and all, but still im inclined to disagree with some of your points.martintox said:Halo (The franchise was already crap when the first one was released)
Call Of Duty (Battlefield is better anyways)
Console Elitists (Consoles are just PCs with loads of restraining. If computers didn't exist,you goddamn console gamers wouldn't be hugging your PS3)
Console fans may whine about which system is better and I agree that that is indeed pointless and annoying but at least they don't have a superiority complex like so many PC elitists I've come across.henritje said:ANY console fanbase fucking up the internet with EVERY FUCKING GENERATION!
PC fanboys aren't that bad in comparison they can be smug but at least they don,t start flame wars and COD fanboys are just ignorant.
I know some of you are going to say Twilight or Justin Bieber but those are just going to end after this year.
You are not the only 1.Rossmallo said:Runescape. Holy FUCK, Runescape. I literally think I am the ONLY person in the ENTIRE fanbase that actually like the developers anymore.
Funny, I recall telling people something that pretty much amounts to that. "Either they will be in the streets rioting because their team lost or they will be out in the streets partying because their team won. And those 2 things will look exactly the same".canadamus_prime said:Yeah now that you mention it, I recall hearing a rumor about a group that was prepared to incite a riot regardless of whether Vancouver won or lost.-Dragmire- said:I don't really think sportsmanship had much to do with it.
