Kinda like how the furry fandom is always fighting itself as one side likes to pretend there's no perverts in the fandom and the other side tries to shove their infinite fetishes down everyone's throats;

Oh man, that describes the experience I've had with one Internet fandom almost 100% (which made me go completely 180 on the source material, I can't even watch it without having flashbacks and recoiling in instinctive horror). I guess it's indeed a common phenomena...

You could probably fit the smaller one in a non-public dropbox if you wanted an extra backup of it on the internet.

Or buy a couple 8GB and 2GB USB drives. They go for pretty cheap these days.

Your anime waifus take up that much space?

Nah, I've got one for mountains of old essays and articles and one for me most precious booty, and I don't be meanin' arse, yaharr.

Fandom is ruined most often and most thoroughly by fandom, yeah.

I don't really understand how someone could feel like a non-real character from a fictional story with no agency, no thoughts, and no feelings, could possibly fall in love with them. I understand feeling like they're falling in love with a fictional character, but when you mistake that for the character falling in love with you?

I wonder if this has something to do with a lack of player-character separation (or viewer-protagonist separation)?

(Unless you're choosing to create one, like, as a "tulpa" or something, by synthesizing them based on the personality and/or appearance of a fictional character)

[Rolan7]

Well, to be fair...
When I was little I had a series of imaginary friends borrowed from fiction, I think lots of people do.
Heck maybe it can be of some use during trying times of young adulthood, even.  As long as you keep in mind that it's a crutch.
I'm pretty sure most of these people are kids, some of them basically admitted as much.

Personally I think the body pillow stuff is an unfortunate perversion of what should be a matter of comfort.  But, they're still not hurting anyone else.  Just their ability to handle real romantic relationships - which, I don't think is that huge a loss.  To each their own.

I do really like this person:

"Is someone insults Revy-chan, i'll tell them their waifu is a 12 year old girl"

[cerapa]

Intellisense says that i is undefined.

I have nothing further to add, except that there is no happiness in the world until Visual Studio is gone and anyone who has ever known of its existance has died.

[Shadowlord]

Why are there parentheses around that?

[cerapa]

Cause it's a parameter for a function.

Don't you know anything? You obviously can't call yourself a true Waifu follower unless you've got at least 10 GB of pictures of them.

LSD is a hell of a drug

Makes me wonder...
Poping balloons is most definitely not porn... but if you have a fetish for that it will "excite" you anyway.
Would a video of someone poping balloons WITH baloon fetishists in mind count as porn?

That depends on how traditional, rural, christian, and just generally small-minded the judge is

[KingofstarrySkies]

Bohandas, do you really need to passive-aggressively attack/mock Christians with half your posts? It's kind of... Stupid.

[Rolan7]

Is it okay to say rural people are moral conservatives, but not that Christians are?
In both cases there's an obvious correlation, even as there are obviously exceptions.

[penguinofhonor]

It's okay to say either if you're not being demeaning about it.

And I would assume KoSS didn't mention the rural thing because he hasn't noticed a pattern of posts about rural people.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I have not. In that case, yeah, that too. I suppose. I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the WTF thread due to it being some new level of blargh every day from my experience.

[Rolan7]

Penguinofhonor wasn't saying there actually was such a pattern of posts, just that you hadn't seen one (because there wasn't).

Still though, it's not mocking religion to point out that it's mostly regressive.  Rural areas are too.  That's not insulting, it's the plain truth.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Iunno. Just came off as Bohandas bashing Christians, which I feel like I've seen him do a lot? I might just be too tired to forum.
