So in another topic someone said im a newfag to anime, because i talk about the most mainstream anime Frieren a lot and listed off the most mainstream anime as something right wing normies would like, and then said that to know who are the more experianced anime fans you need to ask them what the mid anime are that nobody else really knows about and he listed of Buso Renkin.
Little did he know ,i've read the Buso Renkin manga decades ago.
So how many people here are "elite otakus" that have seen the anime, watched the manga or even heard of Buso Renkin since apparently its now a metric for "elite otaku" status?.
if anyone wants to question my otaku credentials more, I'd also like to list off another obscure manga called "Hoshin Engi" that i read which that most people probably haven't heard of. Hoshin Engi is pretty popular in Japan but not well known in the West,
I've been watching/reading anime and manga since 20 years ago, im not a newfag to it
OK, change of focus. You're a newfag for trying to have this conversation online, even more so for trying it in 2025.
Anyone could just flat out lie and troll you, so you can never trust how sincere an answer is.
Anyone could look up anything and immediately fill in any knowledge gaps, so you can never trust how sincere an answer is and/or know just what someone does and does not know were you to have this talk IRL.
You're almost immediate response to the other thread calling you out highlights a significant lack of understanding and maturity in general to the differences between how this plays out online vs IRL. That's why you're a newfag.
the whole thing started becuase some people were upset that i dared to say i didn't want more political tourists in the anime community whether from the right or the left and then they started calling me a new fag for daring to say this.
