My instinct is ESL. He uses past tense "was" but rarely conjugates the following verbs to also be past tense. This strikes me as Chinese grammar where verbs are not conjugated themselves, they just include a grammatical particle that signifies the sentence is past/future tense.
This may be pedantic, but I would also start the quotes at "that" in "that one group of people."
That article is just filled with weirdo phrases that aren't present in English.
We wouldn't say "very" twice here
We wouldn't say "AD" in a casual article like this, and we would call it the 1960s.
Highlighted by his artifacts? "Full with" instead of "full of" "a obsession" "than anything but real."
JUST IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. This article is insane.
What in the fuck am I reading.
Guys please read this, it's amazing.
He's badly referencing a quote from the first MIB movie.
As badly worded and autistic as that point comes across, he's not wrong. Take a bunch of seemingly based individuals, put them in a group, and massive cringe will emerge quickly. It's called "podcasting."
Eh.... I don't that's the dunk you think it is. I haven't been in a mall in about ten years※ but I would not be surprised at all if there is Sailor Moon, MLP, and Rey-Wars junk in Hot Topic.
※Scheels doesn't count.
I mean the whole article, it's filled with so much bizarre Engrish and it then turns into talking about Gnosticism towards the end.
For anyone curious (and brave enough), here is hot topic's website today: http://archive.ph/HZycK
Of course it'd be fucking One Piece.
