Peeking at the idiocy online.
Submitted by AgentX

Animeleague, I've been cheating on you.
Yes, it's true. I've started seeing other message boards. You haven't been good enough to me lately. I wanted to see what other boards are like.

Let's see, where have I been peeking around at...

My first visit was to Adult Swim's message boards. I notice there's a lot of angry people here. Observe.


2172 Posts? That's a lot of angry people..

Well, I can't stay angry or deal with Inu-nutsos all day. Time to move on.
I've read some things here about Gaia Online, so I swung by there. Surely it couldn't be that bad, could it?

Which was replied with:

Melody 83B ooooookey dude, get a life...

Sex slave?? What kinda game are these kids playin' these days??
Update: This kurados guy is such a winner, just look at what people are saying about him.


And then there was this from a thread called OMFG!!! Chiyo-chan... a FURRY??? (Azumanga Daioh.)

Tigerphyre No, really. Think about it. She loves animals and dresses up like an animal no less than 4 times before vol. 5 of the anime (Twice as a cat, once as a penguin, once as a cat in Sakaki's imagination). COULD OUR LITTLE CHIYO POSSIBLY A FURRY?? (Note to furries in white print) Dear furries: I know that's not how you classify furries. I'm not trying to hurt anyone, just goofin' around. You guys have my full support and I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. Discuss: Anime characters that may be hiding something (like furryism, homosexuality, OCD, etc.)

OMFG! I can feel my brain cells rotting from just reading that thread. I'm starting to regret this whole cheating thing.

Moving onto another board, Synonys which I saw mentioned here many months ago.
Upon entering, I noticed something kind of disconcerting. Only 2 of the forums had posts from this week. I could just see the tumbleweeds drifting across the screen.

I feel like I traded in a Stepford wife for a Tijuana hooker.

Let's see if Above Top Secret is my kinda hangout. The good news is they like the Boondocks. Hey, with a nickname like agentX, I gotta fit in! I was thinking that until...

Well, enough of that. Time to pay Newgrounds a visit. I figured fellow flash artists could talk some sense. Boy was I wrong.

hellokittyman Yesterday this girl kicked me in the crotch for being an 'asshole'. I just came up to her and said hi than the next thing i knew i was on the ground in pain. then her friends just started kicking me on the ground. i saw this teacher laughing at me saying " that what you get for using your paintball guns to paint my house asshole!" I had no friends therefore no one helped me. then the girl that kicked me in the crotch said "youre not cool enough to talk to me asshole!" and then she kicked me in the crotch again.

Good lord, hopefully she kicked him hard enough to remove his sperm from the gene pool. Updated: I went to back to see if it was just one crazy person. Nope; they're all just as nutty. Must be all the flash games.

I feel like I have scabies. Oh well, time to move on to perhaps the most hardcore open forum, the Craigslist. Right off the bat I encountered "FLASH FRIDAY" which can best be summarized as this: (WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK, SCHOOL, OR PARENTS)

and these too (also NSFW, NSFS, and NSFP)

Damn! Free porn. Updated: There are even haters of free porn on the internet, like here.

This place is tight! I was doing pretty well until...
http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/rnr/110442638.html

AARRGH!!! Let's see if the discussion boards are any better. I thought so, until...

meaningless B.S. < zz101 > 11/08 10:42:38 B.S. is how you would respond to facts, why don't you tell us where they are wrong? show us their lies You should know. You are very good in this < GreenEyedUziGirl > 11/08 10:44:10 field of lies, you lie and never back it up with facts. As for answers, why don't you answer my questions? when you know how to read < zz101 > 11/08 10:49:17 you will find it. Byou are too emotionally disturbed, you won’t see the truth even if it hits you in the eye Avoid avoid answeres at all cost. You < GreenEyedUziGirl > 11/08 10:51:19 are what you claim others to be. Pretty funny.

And this is a discussion about Palestinian Media bias. And here I thought the quote and post wars here were over-dramatic. Updated: zz101 and GreenEyedUziGirl are still bitching at each other, 1 week later. Maybe they should get married.

Ugh, need aspirin. Maybe I've taken AL for-granted.
