Favorite Pairings

This reminds me of those Grand Theft Auto fans who keep spamming the True Crime board at IGN.

I remember that. Even though GTA and TC are somewhat different.

I come here to post about Big O. I don't want to see sick fantasies about animated characters. Take this sh** to your own forums. It does not belong here. If you get your jollies on to this kind of stuff, do it somewhere else, for God's sake. Am I the only one who is appalled by the idiocy in this thread?

And Chitter Box Kat, I kindly invite you to grow up. I don't even know you, but I strongly advise you do not lower yourself to the level of the average internet idiot.

Sick fantasies? Could you please explain.

I fail to see what is "sick" about this thread.

If you're confusing this thread for some sort of "Which character is sexiest" thread then you are mistaken.

My best guess is he's talking about the yaio pairing's. However Anything is fair game in a thread like this.

Spoderman, as you are the only individual to complain about this thread, and usually are differing in opinion on just about anything anyone says, I must venture to say this is not your forum at all. I invite you to leave Paradigm City altogether and find yourself a more suitable haunt, as clearly ours does not agree with you in the least.

Huh? Not entirely.

Like I'll admit..normally this is the sort of thing I lambast anime forums for, and whatnot.

But...then you have to consider. This is the internet. This is the internet, and we're dealing with this in sort of a tounge-in-cheek, "ha ha look at how zany this whole concept is" sort of way.

There are entire webpages dealing with it like it was a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Every sick, debauched, seemingly IMPOSSIBLE concept your subconcious can inflict upon you in the form of a nightmare? It exists, and it's a few mouse clicks away.

You can find things...terrible, terrible things. People who should not exist, ideas which make you fear for the very well being of western civilization, webpage templates that could make a blind man turn away in revulsion.

If you want, I can give you a list of simple words to go look up, which will make the most fevered, psychotic delusions of the worst fangirl seem like an episode of Teletubbies. Unless you're afraid of the teletubbies, then this analogy dosen't work.

Point is...we haven't crossed the line. Is it maybe my favorite concept? Probably not. Have we even approached the depths of cyberspace? I'm not totally sure we even could.

Also...I...seem to have forgotten where I was going with this.

Sharpshooter, the wisdom with which you speak leaves me in awe. Your words are indeed truth.
I know of the depths of which you speak, and indeed, we have not even begun to scratch the surface. While I myself am no fan of such strange pairings, I am guilty of many myself, and have no right to request a ceasing.

Carry on, fellows. Carry on.

There have been threads like this inciting the discussion of sex between robots. [ACCEPTABLE]
A thread like this, created for the sole purpose of innuendo and degrading sex jokes. [ACCEPTABLE]
Or even a thread like this, that was a rather in depth discussion of the limits to the sexual capabilities of an android. [ACCEPTABLE]

But this, your average run of the mill 'anime pairing thread' gets bashed and called disgusting...

That's hilarious.

Thank you! Thanks so much! I really don't care how outragious the paring is, if you got one, tell about it! It's for fun, and to see how imaginative people can be.

And besides, people who take little fun stuffs like this seriously take themselves too seriously. A little fun and games never killed anyone!

I thak all of you who talked back to Spoderman.

On a final note. Sick fantasies? Sweetheart, there are COUNTLESS people who watch anime and come up with crazy fantasies involving the characters form different shows. That's why we have fan art and fan fiction.

This is Chitter-Box-Cat, cool as a cucumber. And also likely to bite back when people bark at her. Merci and aideu.

That last thread was...enlightening. Made me reconsider some things.

Though, seriously, an android concieving children? WTF? I think some people had their fan-obsessive blinders on full.

I'd managed to forget that one...not anymore, but it was a pretty good run.

Oh, so when he rehashes basically everything I just said, it's a big damn epiphany?

Want to see why I am adverse to this thread? Google the word "Yaoi" and see. I know damn well what's on the internet. You don't have to lecture to me about what you can find. But all I'm asking is does it belong here.

Realize that Big O is a cartoon. None of the characters are real. Moreover, Big O is not a show that centers on relationships. It is a drama that draws strength from character relationships, but by no means do they define the series. But that's not what this thread is about. You're creating retarded fantasies that have nothing at all to do with Big O. Sure it's cute and fun to mess around, but when someone says something like:

quote:

I've personally written Alan/R.D., Alan/Beck, and Beck/Roger. Intermittently working on an Alex/Alan thing. The Beck/Roger is my favorite so far, though.

This deserves special attention. If that's your thing, fine. Go hug a rainbow, have a parade. Don't care.

But don't think for a second that I'm going to stand idly by while idiots try to decry my stance on the issue, which is equally valid.

I've generally become disgusted with the general anime fanbase. Everything is a joke, nothing is serious, and you will never find a greater collection of egotistical, pseudointellectual, and self-fulfilling idiots who have no talent for debate and posess a one-track mind when it comes to what they like and dislike. I hoped that coming here would help me avoid that... but apparently they're everywhere.

Point taken, but I'm sorry if my interpretation of the series bothers you. If I recall correctly, it was the OTHER members who became upset after I voiced those opinions. So what if I disagree? I respect your right to an opinion; why can't I have my own?

Moreover, the past "differing opinions" you refer to are just my preference of certain episodes over others. Search through my posts and see for yourself. I'm curious to know why exactly this bothers you so much?

Besides, you also ignore the fact that differing opinions spur discussion and debate, which some of you seem to be incapable of comprehending. Instead of accepting a challenge, you dismiss it as wrong and avoid it entirely.

For example, if I say, "I don't think this thread belongs here," I expect an argument of "Nay, good fellow, this thread belongs here for these reasons."

But instead I get:

quote:

omg no teh yaois or some other equally illegitimate complaint Stay out then, genius.

Oh okay. You're dodging the question by telling me to leave. My dislike of "yaoi," which I see as perversion, differs from your opinion. So instead of explaining the merits of "yaoi", you tell me to leave?


There's also a very fine line between opinion and fact, which some of you seem unable to grasp. You see, when I said "Big O and Roger," I was joking (ALL IN GOOD FUN... RIGHT?). When people started going over-the-top with ridiculous character pairings, I exclaimed "This thread needs to be aborted" (<----- NOTE: THIS IS OPINION). But I will admit that I was completely wrong to say this thread was gay.

In retrospect, I should have said that this thread is extremely bisexual. After all, you do have character interactions going both ways, correct? (<--- This is fact. Show me where I'm wrong.)

At least have the balls to admit, "Hey, even though I don't agree with Spoderman on even .01% of the stuff he says, he still has a point." You may not agree with me, but I failed to get the memo where it said I had to agree with you.

Oh, and can't forget about Chitter Box Cat, queen of internet forum-flame-war.

quote:

Aside from a few episodes, Big O is a pretty serious show. I'm also not in a joking mood at the moment.

Yes, I thak you too.

Fan Art and Fan Fiction; Two things I'm glad I never partake of. Also, were you trying to make a point here?



I'm here for intellectual, insightful debate on an intriguing TV Show that I am fond of. But when I see the same drivel that has made me come to hate 99% of all anime and its fanbase, it just pisses me off.

If you want a battle of wits, I hope you brought backup.

First, I'd like to ask you to calm yourself ever-so-slightly. No one is interested in fighting, arguing or anything of the sort.

I admit my comments were rather out of line in the past and at present. Indeed, you are entitled to your opinion as much as the rest of us. However, most of the membership doesn't take kindly to people berating a silly thread for serious reasons. I can't speak for everyone, of course.

As for the present. If you are trying to find a forum that only discusses things in a serious, non-fantastical fashion, you will be looking for a long time. Such a forum cannot exist, as such "sick fantasies" as are discussed here are a human element that must therefore exist everywhere there are people. Every forum will have its perverts, anime or no. That's just a part of human nature.

Next, "nothing to do at all with Big O"? This thread isn't your only worry, then. We also have a Speakeasy dedicated entirely to off-topic, non-Big O subjects, some of which could be at least as perverse as this one.

I will grant that some of us have been bolder than we should have, and have at more than one crossing shoved our opinion down your throat. Your feeling on the matter counts as much as ours. But simply because we've been somewhat zealous doesn't give you the right to roar at us a threaten a "battle of wits"; a battle you won't be getting.

I don't intend to come off as rude, and if I have I apologize. I am simply trying to resolve, or at least understand, this issue which seems to have arisen between you and this forum.

Okay first off...this is a trainwreck. That much is just a fact by now.

quote:

it's a big damn epiphany?

My only point was, comparitively, this isn't as bad as you could find. I admittedly dragged on for a while.

quote:

Realize that Big O is a cartoon. None of the characters are real.

When did I ever dispute this.

quote:

Moreover, Big O is not a show that centers on relationships.

Agreed, which is why I didn't lose interest after three episodes.

quote:

I completely agree, I've never been really fond of alot of the fanbase.

quote:

Everything is a joke, nothing is serious

And now I'd like to pause to address an earlier point. As you said..it's just a show.

It's a cartoon. Yeah, a well written and well executed one. People have dissected it on those merits, picked it beyond clean almost.

It's a television show. How "seriously" is anyone supposed to take it, and why. If taken too seriously, you wind up with the same sort of egotistical, pseudointellectual idiocy you so correctly railed against.

quote:

Aside from a few episodes, Big O is a pretty serious show.

So...because the t.v. show is serious, any sort of humor involving it is now anathema?

Again, you've sort of lost me. One minute I'm agreeing with you completely about people going too far, and taking their entertainment way too damn seriously. The next I'm watching you chastise people for not treating it with due respect.

quote:

I'm here for intellectual, insightful debate on an intriguing TV Show that I am fond of.

It's there...I think part of it is we're dealing with a cancelled show (yes, yes, I opened up yet another can of worms) thats been analyzed from almost every concievable angle. Eventually yes, you're going to hit a certain point, and it's going to slide into other discussions.

Again though, as I said at the beginning of this post...this threads a trainwreck, and I'm willing to entertain the possibility it was from the get-go.

Hello. It's Chitter-Box-Cat seeing signs of hope.

I humbly thank you Randolph for treating a rising matter appropriately. I started this thread on a whim while still relatively new to these forums. My basic intention was to get a foothold among all the members and see how many reviews I'd get for topic I brought into light.

I thank Randolph again, and hope that this issue Spoderman has with my thread wil be settled calmly and respectfully.

Untill next time, I bid you all aideu. Gute nacht!

Oh! And I completely forgot! A toast to Sharpshooter005 for begining the negotiations! I'm too tired right now to really do any serious thinking.

I not sure, there are so many pairings to choose from. I think I will say the Roger/Dorothy pairing, as a hero/sidekick pairing, and I also think the Alex/Alan pairing I like because they would fit as the mastermind/henchman pairing.

Someone has posted on my thread with PAIRINGS! Big Jauln, thank you! I was starting to think people have forgoten the purpose of my thread.

Anyways, thanks again. THis is a good start of the day.

Bye people! I'm off to do miscellaneous junk for a bit! Aideu!

I will agree with you on this one. Despite being a huge anime fan, I do find alot of the fan to be quite retarded. Basically everything you said I have seen in this thread. I've said it before and I will say it again, Fanboy/Fangirls are very touchy if you disagree with what they like.

Uh, yeah? I don't need to explain why I like what I like or write what I write to anyone, least of all you. Besides, you asked no question. You posted a slightly more eloquently worded version of "this thread sux!"

Look, just because anime is SERIOUS BUSINESS to you doesn't make it so for all of us. I'll be over here having my fun. Deal.

Nicely put, Xel

Spoderman, get over your constipation and start your own intellectual thread.
