You actually checked the Wayback Machine to see if I once had an anime avatar?WelshMegalodon wrote: Fun fact: Skykid actually used to have an anime character as his avatar. Nothing's coming up on the Wayback Machine, but I was still lurking then, so it was probably around 2015 that he changed it.
It's perfectly possible I had an anime avatar at some point (although honestly, unless it was a picture of a shrine maiden's tits, it's escaped my memory completely) although I'm not sure that qualifies me as a Weeaboo Faggot.
We did our darnedest, I assure you. During the dark days when CAVE started ballsing up their PR and catering to Hikkokimori, which in turn lead the Touhou advances and the rogue loli hordes in our direction, we tried our hardest to push back with our hard love of hard sci-fi, spaceships and guns. We formed into a Peaceful Death Pachi Laser defence league and did our best to cleave a path through the incoming cosplayers, idol worshippers and loli hand-spankers.kitten wrote:but yeah, as someone who just joined, i think you might be a tad delusional to think this place looks free of "the weeb" from an exterior glance. it looks very "weebish." lots of people here have anime icons or signatures, and a lot of them are from relatively recent stuff or of younger girls. shmups chat section seems much worse about it than off-topic, and one of the reasons i have kind of avoided posting there.
And for a while, we were successful. The message was received loud and clear: this is the old guard. We're more hardcore than you. We deal in dick lasers, not chicks with dicks. Go get yourself a 4chan and leave us be.
But we're old. We're crumbling. We've fallen by the wayside. These days we only read the posts of young weeaboo infiltrators and let out a chuckle at the hopelessness of it all, and then leave our PC screens for wiser pastures. There's nothing that can be done, since the entire world is in a state of backwardness, constantly undoing previous progresses with weaker, feebler and cheaper replacements.
But let it be known that today, if the Farm is indeed viewed as a "Weeaboo Faggot" haven, what with its loli avatars and little-girl-piss-drinking patrons, that we did our utmost to keep the standard high. That we knew where the benchmark for quality ended in commercial video gaming, and did our best to keep the fires burning as a hardcore gaming community that makes Hardcore Gaming 101 look like a bunch of Weeaboo Faggots.
That's worth something, and our efforts will echo in eternity.
