Non-Gaming Hot Takes

Last time I used the word based I had a visit to my local FBI sector.

I don't wanna risk my account but on the Internet you have people considering that "race fetishization" is an awful thing to do (although it's fundamentally not so far from preferring blondes over brunette or even just preferring taller guys).

Also some pokémons are forever blacklisted from being your favourite online because people will look at you strangely even if you're being genuine...

I hate the Internet not keeping things quiet about nsfw content in sfw areas but I've already said it before.

I could say I like cashews and this thread will find 7 different ways that's morally reprehensible

Based is synonymous with "I agree" but as internet slang?

'Based' sort of means being confident in being yourself, calling someone 'based' usually means that you respect their opinion or their confidence in having said opinion. The modern definition of the term originated with Lil B.

"According to Lil B, based was a negative term from his childhood that people would use to call others simple, stupid, or basic. It’s a shortening of basehead, which is a pejorative term used to refer to a person who freebases cocaine. Lil B has reclaimed “based” to have positive implications: “Based means being yourself. Not being scared of what people think about you. Not being afraid to do what you wanna do. Being positive.“

Some people generally frown upon it because it got popular through 4chan, but almost every single meme and meme format did, so it's unfair to blame the site for bad eggs. Similar to the meme frog. Most people see him as a sort of funny innocuous Twitch.tv mascot, not as a hate symbol.

As I said back when I created my account; my depression will never be healed

All that you need is a hug every now and then, some hot chocolate, an ice cream cone, and a fast car. ?

OnePiece is fu**ing overrated, the powerups every character got at some point and on are stupid and nonsense. After Thriller Barks the only decent story arc is Dressrosa, the manga should have ended years ago.

While you're right about the original intent I think I'll avoid getting associated with people you don't usually wanna get associated with.

This is also why even Indians are not showing that one ancient symbol in the west because of its connotation... Yes it's unfair but symbols have a meaning depending of whom you ask. I won't delve further in this topic.

It doesn't mean anything other than that though, in case you were curious. It hasn't been appropriated the way many think.
But fair enough, I won't delve further either :)

Adventure time was better when it didnt take itself seriously

I swear milliennials think 4chan is the devil lol

I always thought you were a millenial...
It's always funny to see people refer to it as some sort of evil secret society, especially on the news, but it's become nothing more than a place where edgelord kids go to be edgelords because they think that's what you're supposed to be doing there, and the old farts sticking around are paranoid of everyone around them. Site's a complete lost cause.
This place has helped me detox from the site really well.

I used to be a regular there.

Then I grew up and stopped being a teenaged dipshit.

Now we're all adult dipshits instead.
Good thing you got out, I stuck around way too fucking long.

 

[ZEGA ZONIC]

Never been in 4chan.

Good for you.

But like I said before millennials on the internet are really really moralistic for some reason
It's can still be but fun some but the new blood takes itself way too seriously, I miss when everyone was carefree

Ah ok!
I'm 29, which always felt like a weird gray area between generations. Like I can sort of relate to both but feel sort out sidelined by both at the same time. Dunno if it's ever been similar for you but I have friends who have expressed similar sentiments.
Not that I care, though, just a neat observation I've had.

Fanservice is mostly the reason why anime is so popular

It's an intersting discussion; me and my friends often talked about ppl who are just a few years younger being from another dimension and I've always been a weird nerd so being sidelined is fine by me
Millennials in the way I described I only see on the internet or when I went to university, most are normal
