"Being Offended Means You Lose"

Tnophelia

I forget who said that, or where it came from. It's some good ideals to live by.

Khwarizmi

It was in Edmania's sig, attributed to Ukonkivi.

Tnophelia

Ello Khwarizmi. How are you?

Vorpy

Here. Signature.

DYRE

I thought this thread was going to be about when people say that taking any sort of preventative measures against internet trolls means that "the trolls win," or something.  Which is bad for some reason.

Tnophelia

Well yeah, that generally works like that, which is why people like trolls so much

Noimporta

It's kind of funny this came from someone so easy to offend.

Tnophelia

You wish I was easy to offend

Noimporta

Did you coin the phrase?

Tnophelia

Yup. it's mine.

Wicked223

I thought it was referring to this at first.

Vorpy

Ukonkivi has a bad habit as coming off as getting mad at a lot of stupid things. Perhaps he's oversensitive to things we don't care about, like watching MLP, being an Otaku, or fanservice's role in most anime.

DYRE

I thought Ukonkivi just gets really mad any time anyone says the word "gender" or "masculine" or "feminine" ever for any reason.

RedEyedAbyss

There's also his persecution complex in regards to piracy.

Myrmidon

Or being a nazi.

Gelzo

He's on my shitlist for disliking humanity.

Chagen

Ukon is cool, but he flips out way too easily. 

Myrmidon

Wait no, it was Signed that was the Nazi http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12969494380A28060100&page=1

Sorry Ukon.

DYRE

I confess.  For a couple months, every time I saw a post by Ukon I'd immediately leave the thread because I couldn't stand him.

Though, at some point after he got a My Little Pony avatar I stopped disliking him.  And now I feel neutral toward him.

^ Yeah, I was confused by you calling Ukon a Nazi....

Chagen

Uh...he was talking about how the Nazi's had a lot of progressive ideals, yet were so evil.

I thought it showed off how gray (instead of black-and-white like people try to make it) life really is.

Khwarizmi

I must admit, Signed unsettles me a little.  I think he cares too much about race.

Ukon is like the total opposite in that regard.  Any suggestion that ethnicity means anything whatsoever seems to disgust him.

Chagen

I usually associate Signed in the Lolicon Trinity: Signed, DYRE, Evilneko.

Myrmidon

"Kodomo No Jikan : Loads and loads of Lolicon?? Check! Fanservice filled to the brim? Check!! Fanservice based on all the cute lolis with pantyshot filled to the brim? CHECK!! This is THE best anime that involves fanservice! Too bad some idiot in Anime News Network and a couple of prudes around the internet had a vendetta to kill any chance this series have in the West...worst part being those complaining about the series obviously DidNotDoTheResearch. Talk about Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch."

This is literally the only thing I know, that Signed did.

DYRE

Was that Signed?  I don't doubt it, but I just remember people being unsure of who wrote that.

Khwarizmi

>Fanservice based on all the cute lolis with pantyshot filled to the brim?

Surely he must realise that, for most people, that's already a "hell no"?

Myrmidon

The quoted passage does not speak well of his level of awareness of himself and his surroundings.

Noimporta

Was that Signed?  I don't doubt it, but I just remember people being unsure of who wrote that.

Confirmed by a certain fly.

Surely he must realise that, for most people, that's already a "hell no"?

Whenever this question arises, the default answer is "It's Signed".

Trash_Vortex

All I see when I read that Signed post is "Problem?"

Komodin

"Kodomo No Jikan : Loads and loads of Lolicon?? Check! Fanservice filled to the brim? Check!! Fanservice based on all the cute lolis with pantyshot filled to the brim? CHECK!!

Why am I not surprised that Signed was the one who wrote this...

Nyktos

Because that's basically all of his posts?

RedEyedAbyss

And he was dead fucking serious? Wow.

Admittedly, I immediately took a disliking to Signed due to his incredibly creepy avatar. Seemed pretty shallow a judgement, but it was a good indication of what his posts would be like.
