Go nuts. :)

Because obviously my only goal in life is to have Mike-senpai notice me.

I don’t get it. Is this supposed to be a parent entry for all of the food-related memes?

Deadpooling for now.

I was trying to respond to that Tumblr post with a witty “thatsthejoke.jpg”, but Tumblr decided to hate me at that point and stopped working, so I’ll just let everyone believe I was shamed into silence.

It died, basically. People just stopped submitting things, so I deleted it.

I have a very tenuous relationship with Tumblr, anyways. I always get immensely frustrated by the people I run into, mostly due to extreme and fallacious arguments.

@*sigh* obviously you’ve never watched the anime

I’m actually staring at her lips.

Those things can’t be natural.

I see an anti-GWB wankfest on its way.

Oh, there you go, Colin and chowzburgers have already started it.

So, in other words, some XBox fanboy made this, but ran out of characters, so decided to steal a couple from his Playstation friend?

NO COME BACK I WANT TO WATCH IT I REALLY DO

I’m sorry, but how is that anything but animal abuse?

I’ve actually never seen Cowboy Beebop.

Trust me, I understand: I was bullied by the same type for years, and that’s not what my point is. If they’re getting a shorter sentence because of sports affiliation, that’s not fair. But I haven’t seen a whole lot of commentary on that, but general hatred directed at them as rapists. My complaint isn’t that they’re being convicted of a crime, my complaint is that their humanity is being stripped from them by a public that feels it has the right to give off righteous fury, which no one has. If this were a family member of yours that you loved, would you be so quick to right them off as worthless?

I’m not acting like they’re victims of misogynistic society, I’m making the point that they’re human beings, and they’re not just going to fade out of existence once this is all over. They have lives, and they’ve obviously ruined them on their own: they have to register as sex offenders, they’ll have this tarnish on their work history, their academic history, and they’re social lives. And yet the only thing the public has said was “fuck ’em, they deserve to rot”. What if this were someone you knew? What if it were your brother, or sister? And I don’t care how you push it aside, what if it were YOU?

I’m not defending their actions: their actions were disgusting, and they should be punished to the full extent of the law, so if they’re getting lenience for being jocks, I agree that that’s wrong. But this business of hating them has human beings is hypocritical and vindictive.

Before I begin, I know I’m the only one who thinks this on this site, and I know I’m going to get negged, but I hope some users here at least take the time to read what I’m saying.

I’m frankly disgusted by the cultural reaction against the offenders in this case. It’s like people expect them to drop from the face of the Earth and stop existing because they’ve ceased to have any social worth. I understand that they did a TERRIBLE thing to that girl; trust me, I’ve had friends who have been raped before, and it’s an atrocious act that permanently harms the psyche of the victim. But why on Earth are we treating these high schoolers as if they’re the embodiment of evil? Why not instead open this up as an opportunity to discuss the impact culture has been having on teenagers? But instead, we’re treating these two teenagers as worthless pieces of scum who deserve nothing but death, pain, and misery. I guarantee you that if any of you were in the same position, you wouldn’t want to be treated that way. It’s disgusting, and vile, yes, but it’s also a mistake, and until these two give me reason to believe that they don’t regret they’re actions, I refuse to treat them as demons.

>Comprimising the quality of a perfect medium by watching dubs

Do you even anime?

Even as a communitarian, I can’t help but feel that this is an abuse of power.

This is dumb
