@Da-D-MON: I'm not calling Nyah/Bunny/Karina racist or anything. But comments like that seem too subjective and offensive to be worded in the open.

I think I'm going to change my name to SuperKawaiiDesuMow.
Hey! That was my idea :(.
Fine, you mean baka yaro! (I'm not even sure what YARO does mean...)

But Furude Rika is SO KAWAII~!

I refuse to stop using the term.
Noobicidal-san wins +25 Kawaii points! :bee:.

I like how this entire place is turning into a flame war, and it's hilarious because all of Da-D-Mon's posts consists of fire.

Edit: Insetik reminds me of Falcon v1.0
1) Hahaha xD
2) NO!Falcon v1.0 isn't anything like Insetik... :embarrass

I'm as white as they come but if I've learned anything in life, it's that white people have an amazing ability to take anything from any culture and making it unbearably annoying within weeks of adapting it. :laugh:
Fatmanonice-sama, I agree with you. But that's beside the point, we shouldn't push such ideas over here.

*Don't you suki how I use single japanese words randomly? -desuu~~

That's what it's all about: Moderation. People just need to practice a little Moderation.


I think a better way to say this is "learn to be a normal human being".


I love Rika. ;P

Nippaaaaaaa.

Yes

Well the majority of white people at least.

This applies more towards people who.. don't like American stuff or something. Or shut-ins who watch to much anime. Idk really. It's just people I guess.

But I mean, how can you not like American things?!? American bacon > Japanese bacon!

Obvious lying sarcasm. KB, you know we all love you.

You're dead right about her though! She's totally a racist! She's dumb, and ugly, and racist, and untrustworthy, and not fun to be with or battle or play with or anything!

.... Why does she have so many friends then? And why's she a moderator? Hm... what does that say about the rest of them?

Baka Yaro? DID YOU JUST CALL HIM A TYPE OF DOG PORN!?! HOW DARE YOU!

No points. The Point System is way too archaic to use. You fail. You recieve 50 Fail Marks.

STOP TALKING ABOUT MY FIRE! It's very sensitive. ... wait a minute....
But seriously, the paralells between the two people can not be so simply ignored.

And yeah, you were just getting onto her about being a racist, and now you're agreeing with a Self Hatter. You're just as guilty! You should be ashamed!

And no, your use of random other-language words makes me wanna puke. Now Silencio, Dawg.

Also, seriously, what the **** does Desu mean?

First, None of you Humans are normal. All of you are a bunch of freaks....

Second, Aww... You guys and those Underage Anime Girls.

3rd, .... thinga-ma-bob? This is a thinga-ma-bob? I thought it was an internet message...

And 4th, let's not start talking about the hundreds of different white stereotypes. We'll be here forever. It's not just White People. Anyone is capable of beating something until their hands hurt, then run off for hand reconstruction before beating it again.

Also, the best Bacon in existance is Canadian Bacon. Therefore, your logic is flawed and you are defeated.

I actually have little to say to you now, so I'm going to bring up a question I've had for a little while now.

Anyone else notice the Origonal Poster hasn't said anything since his origonal post?

Edit:
I love you.

Little girls are cute; we aren't insinuating anything. What does that say about you?

Baka! I'll accept nothing less than -sama!
It ensenuates that I'm very on guard against people like you who love little kids (this is me assumg half the people on smashboards are atleast 13).

God, all the love and cuteness and affection is making my skin crawl... wait, THAT'S NOT MY SKIN! HOLY ****!

And if you don't stop the Baka crap, you're gonna get yourself a Knuckle Samatch! :p

I checked that, but the way people are using it so much, it doesn't seem to have the same meaning that the real word has. That's why I dunno what it even means anymore. I dunno what anything means anymore. GOD IT'S ALL CONFUSINGLY OVERUSED! IT'S NOT EVEN SPECIAL ANYMORE; IT'S JUST ANNOYING! .... It's just like Metaknight!

...I can't hear anymore... My brain, my cerebral fluid, and my blood are clogging my ears up, as everything inside of my head is trying to flee or kill itself to escape hearing that word again.

I thought that movie said 57... It was really 527.... I can't see properly, and now my ears hurt.

Also, why do people feel like using that word so much? And why can't the person who wrote the article on it take some anti-anger pills before writing it? It's bad, but that person's still a bit too mad... I won't be able to hear an answer though, due to the pre-established Ear situation.

Put that site down. :(

(It is a site not for the youngsters.)

make me a happy person :)
It's only bad for the kids if they decide to search for "bad" topics; that page was clean. For that reason alone, the entire internet should be off-limits for children.

Hurr hurr.

I'm sure this is off topic now, but I'll say this before I leave:

Unless you know that K-Pat said kawaii with disrespect to Japanese culture, you can't tell him to stop. If you don't have a valid reason for being annoyed, you're a bigot for not being okay with how he expresses himself.

The best thing anyone could have said to respond to K-Pat would have been to ask him if he knew that he may appear very disrespectful by saying "kawaii" and may be offending someone.


If you still can't understand, I'll compare this to anti-semitism:

"Saying 'kawaii' annoys me. Everyone who says 'kawaii' should stop because he/she is one of the most annoying kinds of people on the internet."
"Celebrating Judaism annoys me. Everyone who's Jewish should stop because he/she is one of the most annoying kinds of people in this country."

I'm sure you all know that prejudice is bad.

GAH! FIRE BAD! FIRE BAD FIRE BAD FIRE BAD! I'm not suppost to be playing with matches! What's my Mom going to think?

And yeah, except for what seems to be support for the person who used Kawaii (although I don't think anyone should be insulting the kid for it), he does remind me of Falcon. That "I'M GOING TO CUT YOU OPEN AND STRANGLE YOU WITH YOUR OWN INTESTINES" harshness combined with the fact that he's totally right.... there's no doubt the two parallel eachother almost to a T.

It's funny how, you, Da-D-Mon takes it the wrong way while KB didn't. It's just pretty out of place that an asian girl says such things about white people (I'm asian). It becomes too extreme.

And I've clearly said that we should not push such ideas in the open. Fatmanonice, in his case... Is white himself. Which is perfectly correct, because people don't feel like he's racist. He's white after all.

@Insetick, how angry are you, bro?

LOL. Fence, I love you.

EDIT: I mean, SUKI YOU. Yeah... That's right, GANBATE KUDASAIII.

I was gonna reply to this crazy analogy, but I'm not... I'm just not gonna bother. I got a test I should be studying for tomorrow. All I can say is weeaboo culture is annoying in real life. It's only annoying when the weeabooer takes extreme values to heart. Also, there's a difference between prejudice and general dislike. Chill Inestick, if you a weeaboo, it's all good. It's just the internetz :p

I'm sure that you know that you're comparing extremes; kawaii isn't a religion.
So it's bad to restrict free practice of religion but not free speech?

This is how I define prejudice: unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes regarding a group of people. I don't care if you think they're annoying in real life- it's unreasonable to dislike an entire group of people just because you find some of them annoying. Prejudice is prejudice.

oh, well I guess i'm prejudice towards weaboos then. don't care really. not that i'm gonna hate them or anything. i have some friends who are weaboo (well not really.. idk actually)


so wait i guess i'm not prejudice then?

idk. i hate the way weaboos think i guess.


whatever, does it really matter in the end. we can have opinions if we want them... no matter if you think they're unreasonable or not.

Main Entry: 1prej·u·dice
Pronunciation: \ˈpre-jə-dəs\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin praejudicium previous judgment, damage, from prae- + judicium judgment — more at judicial
Date: 13th century

1 : injury or damage resulting from some judgment or action of another in disregard of one's rights; especially : detriment to one's legal rights or claims

I don't think I'm hurting anyone. Feelings don't count - grow a pair if you really feel THAT offended over the internet.

If I don't like the word "kawaii" Imma avoid people that say, and when I encounter those who do say it, I won't like it. Now, a whole group of people who act a certain way tend to always use that word. We termed them weeaboos. Since a group of people tend to say a word I dislike, I will not like that group. I won't hurt them, I won't persecute them, I just won't like them. Will I spray them with a hose? No. Will I not sell them pocky? No. Grouping objects by similar characteristics is a part of life and a part of science - you can't deny that. When we see a duck, we assume they were once chicks, have feathers, have bills/beaks, float and swim on water, and are warm blooded. Some people hate ducks, but let them live their petty lives. I do the same with weeaboos...
Wait a minute! Wait just a f***in minute! You tryin to make me serious or make me look like an a**hole? :lick: I'm not fallin for it :) I will no longer feed the weeaboo troll.

Edit: Urdailywater makes a good point. I stated numerously that I have a dumb weeaboo friend who runs with his arms behind his back. Yea, I think I'm unreasonably hating on him too :p ... or not. At least he doesn't act like that ALL the time, haha.

"I don't think I'm hurting anyone. Feelings don't count - grow a pair if you really feel THAT offended over the internet."
I don't get where you got the idea that I was personally offended by the term, "weaboo."

"I will no longer feed the weeaboo troll"
I also don't know how you ended up thinking that I am a "weaboo." I was defending K-Pat and "weaboos" in general, not myself. Thanks for the name-calling, btw.

"Grouping objects by similar characteristics is a part of life and a part of science"
Just because stereotyping is normal doesn't make it okay.

"Some people hate ducks, but let them live their petty lives"
And maybe some go duck hunting. You may be letting the "weaboos" live their lives, but others don't. Some girls I know are "weaboos." I've seen other girls pick on them for being themselves. This certainly bothers me, but stereotyping in general is what pisses me off most.

/anger

I don't understand how you can accept stereotyping as okay- you don't act on it, but others do. Stereotyping doesn't always end up with hosing and physical attacks. Subtle things happen. I am smart and Chinese. Understand that stereotypes about the kind of person I am has had very obvious effects. It's nearly impossible for me to make friends with anyone who isn't Asian- they assume that I'm snotty and pretentious even though I am actually very nice (you'll have to take my word for that).

I'm assuming everyone can sympathize with being hurt by some kind of stereotyping. If there was anything I had to choose to be angry at you for, it's that you seem to think stereotyping is okay.

Well, I already said that I'm no longer going to act serious. I will neither defend myself nor attack your analysis on my argument. I feel like we see prejudice, stereotypes, and general dislike from different views. Cliche, but we agree to disagree. That's it. And sorry if people stereotype you b/c you're chinese.

I'm just gonna throw this out there - I'm Viet and I pretty much fit the asian stereotype - I got a bunch of storage bags of rice at home, I eat rice everyday, I love math and win at it, I do martial arts (jiu jitsu), I play video games, absolutely NO SHOES in mah house, etc. If anyone else knows any asian stereotypes, throw'em out there, cause I will most likely fit it. It doesn't offend me cause it's mostly true anyway :p

Edit: Something funny I remembered - I was walkin home around 12:00 am and this guy asks me if there was "last calls" for some bar. I stared at him cause I'm 20 and never been to a bar. He then asked me if I spoke english, haha. He apologized sayin he just spent 5 months in bangkok >.> I claim BS, but it was funny seeing his reaction, haha.

OMG YES! So simple, but it's perfect at the same time. Like me c:

But anyway, if anyone was wondering I am the kind of guy who just sits back and waits for a thread to get some replies and then read them. I never expected this much, but I pretty much read all of it. But I digress...

I love you Insetick! You're pretty much the smartest person on this thread, no offense to everyone else. And not just because you stand up for me (XD), but because you actually have a really awesome view about stereotypes and stuff. I enjoyed reading your posts.

As for Da-D-Mon-109, not great is my affinity for you... But that's all I'm gonna say because I'm gonna get modded if I say anything else!
