    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    During the rename discussion, I looked it up in the three Japanese-English dictionaries in my house. Definitions provided included "companion," "coworker" and "associate." Which is really broad and not very helpful.

    FWIW I once supported "Band of Brothers".

    I think Band of Brothers would have worked a lot better. It still seems dumb to have a trope that is, "NAKAMA...BUT IN THE MILITARY, brah"

    My mom dismissed anime once. Then she watched Beck: Monogolian Chop Squad and loved it! It's like she actually sets out to watch anime, but she knows that she could actually enjoy it now.

    It would be really nice if everyone actually justified their preferences and dispreferences like that.

    Unfortunately, not everyone does.


    There'd be more of a point to it if one didn't have to go in knowing that fans won't accept any reason as valid.

    "Eh, I'm not interested in comic books. They're pricey, the majority of them require you to have a FAQ handy to understand them, and even the ones that don't seem to deal with subject matter or are executed in ways that don't really interest me in the first place."

    "WAAAAHH WEEABOOO!"

    Pretty much.

    Except you almost never phrase stuff like that and go out of your way in being both pedantic and dismissive. And because you brandish your opinion as objective fact. Not only that, but you expect us to somehow not discuss it but just agree one hundred percent with you in a discussion forum.

    Really? It seems to me as if I often do phrase stuff like that, but get treated as if I hadn't anyway.

    ...wait, when did this become about Dantes's style?

    About four posts ago, I think.

    Though, considering what likely inspired this topic, the subtext was always there.

    Not really. The thread was inspired by a derail over at TvT, apparently. At least, that's what I deduced based on the people involved, anyway. 

    ^^ The moment he started to bring his own dismissal into this. -shrug-
