How's it going my gumdrops? OMG! 2 weeks ago, I joined Adult Swim's forum.
By no means am I stranger to belonging to a forum. Not that I was expecting a welcoming committee, but the posters on that forum are fucking ridiculous.
Posters of that ilk validate my reasons for NOT uploading a forum (by using an app) to It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns. Adult Swim's posters are just as rude and obnoxious as rude YouTube posters.
The posters nitpick the shit out of the most trivial bullshit, are EXTREMELY hateful, and judgmental of people they just meet.
Some Adult Swim posters have been civil and welcoming. The rest are rude, antagonistic, accusatory (some accused me of being a troll), pompous ass posters. There is 1 poster in particular, who is a complete know-it-all. I was informed that he was banned numerous times for his douchebaggery.
He has the tendency to be condescending and act like he is putting posters in their places YET he does NOT know the difference between "then" and "than" in a sentence.
It's "rather THAN." NOT "rather then."
While that same poster is so busy trying to "challenge" other posters, he should challenge himself by studying Basic English. Here is where it gets better: He automatically assumed, that...
1) I had nothing else better to do or watch than Adult Swim.
2) I was "throwing tantrums" and happen to be "more sexist" than I claim both Cartoon Network and Adult Swim to be with my opposing views.
3) He went as far as to drag Barbie into an argument out of thin air.
Wow! Seriously? Talk about a major joke. It is a good thing I was unallowed to use Cristina Scabbia's (from Lacuna Coil) doll as my avatar.
I always love whenever people declare a war on Barbie. Being female and liking anything with feminine qualities is blasphemous!
The female gender is forbidden from having beauty, brains, goals, accomplishments, a career, etc.
Considering that I am "sexist" and all, why is that same dipshit posting in my thread?
Obviously, he is someone without a life of his own, if all he can do is instigate with everyone. That trollish poster is like a terrible rash, that won't leave.
Last night, there was another instigator in
my Adult Swim thread. She psychoanalyzed and nitpicked my username. What a bitch.
My username served no relevance to the discussion I was trying to have with other posters.
This included her assumptions, that I didn't think the female audience should watch Shonen and Seinen Action Anime.
I had already addressed this issue in a previous thread, but some continue to misunderstand.
I NEVER said I had anything against the female audience watching Shonen and Seinen Action Anime. I have watched my fair share as a woman.
However, watching Anime specifically meant for the female audience would be a nice break from always watching male-centric Anime.
Shonen and Seinen Action Anime are specifically for the male audience. I feel some Shojo and Josei Anime titles should be added to Adult Swim.
In addition to the last topic, I mentioned that having the "Toonami" branding on Adult Swim, limits the Anime genre to only Action Animation.
Anime in Japan is NOT limited to Shonen and Seinen Action yet in America, this is the only gender demographic Anime companies want to market, which is specifically meant for the male audience.
Basically, companies marketing Anime in America is a Boys Only Club and purposely want to pander to Incels.
Shojo and
Josei Anime supposedly do poorly in American sales. I believe this is
because the female audience is barely acknowledged. Also, some male Anime viewers REGARDLESS of their sexual orientation DO watch Shojo and Josei Anime.
American companies and the media with their political propaganda brainwashed American Anime fans into believing, that everything is "gender neutral." In reality, everything is NOT "gender neutral."
We are watching Japanese Entertainment, which belongs to Japan and is a part of Japan's culture.
They are labeled Shonen, Seinen, Shojo, and Josei for specific reasons.
Shonen and Seinen Anime are specifically meant for the male audience.
Shojo and Josei Anime are specifically meant for the female audience.
Although, it's not like heterosexual males and females as well as the GLBT community don't watch each others Anime besides Shonen and Seinen Action.
Speaking of Seinen Action Anime, 2 weeks ago, 1 male poster complained about Black Lagoon. The series is specifically meant for men, but it mostly has women as leading characters in a male Action Anime.
I love watching Black Lagoon regardless of the characters' genders and regardless of its gender demographic.
After the Hellsing Ultimate OVA's premiere next month on Swimnami, he will most likely complain about Sir Integra and Seras Victoria. Those are 2 female characters with leading roles in Hellsing.

Hellsing Ultimate happens to be another Seinen Action Anime, which is Black Lagoon's replacement. The Hellsing franchise is Seinen Horror Action.
Overall, my main point is that Shonen and Seinen Action fans are not the only Anime demographics in existence.
There are Comedy, Romance, Mystery, Supernatural, Horror, etc. Anime for both genders. People with little knowledge about Anime only know what the networks expose them to on TV. They are mostly exposed to Shonen Action.
I understand why Adult Swim's forum has such a high turnover with posters in general.
The slightest topic about anything gets derailed into an argument and veteran posters are notorious for running away new posters.
Who wants to deal with that unnecessary division and dysfunction?
I have too many things to do in very little time. I thought it would be fun to join another entertainment forum again, but apparently I was wrong.
