Such as?

Letting all the prisoners out of Arkham and Blackgate, to make Batman and Robin catch them all and mentally and physically fatiguing Bruce. Then having Robin abd Batman have a fallout because Bruce didn't need Tim.

C'mon, man. That's important.

@Nitro Indigo The way I see it, there's simply no point in arguing with that kind of mindset. For my part I flat-out refuse to defend myself when I choose to consume localised media. I don't see anything wrong in it and I won't be drawn into a fruitless argument with a self-righteous avatar

 

[Time Breaker]

The troll in question basically said that anything less than a direct translation is disrespecting the foreign audiences.

They must not like anime dubs very much, then.

I responded to them, but then realised that you can't argue with some people.

Also, recently I've been getting annoyed thinking about some of Mr. Enter's Animated Atrocities reviews. The one that's been bothering me most recently is his Ctrl+Alt+Del review I haven't seen for a LONG time; he sounds so bored that I'm still struggling to wrap my head around why he considers it a Worst Thing Ever, since he fails to mention his biggest problem with it in his actual review. Something about Mr. Enter just makes me feel... bad for even slightly disagreeing with him. I eventually came to the conclusion that a negative review of something I had never heard of before isn't going to affect me in my daily life. I also realised today that the reason why I don't like Mr. Enter sometimes is because he repeats himself a lot in a single review (further reading: Animated Atrocities #47), harps on things in other reviews, sometimes takes things a bit too seriously, and acts like an authority. Thinking about his review of Ctrl+Alt+Del made me think of Caddicarus and Brutalmoose's review of another internet thing, Crisis City (not to be confused with the Sonic '06 level), and I realised that that didn't bother me because Caddy and Moose are actually funny. /brain dumping

Also also, the site's suddenly changed to some Team Skull skin I don't like, and I can't find the option to change it. Or the spoiler box option. April Fools started wherever the server is?

 

[Beth Pavell]

I suspect the Team Skull skin is here to stay till the 2nd.

 

[Misfit Angel]

I sincerely hope so and not a moment later. I can't change the skin, unless the option to is cleverly hidden somewhere.

 

[Flaze]

All right everyone, let's all have some fun and kick some team skull butt.

True, the events leading up to said back breaking are fairly important to showing Bane's character.

 

[diamondpearl876]

Heh. Team Skull are just a bunch of nobodies. Instead of indulging in their shenanigans, I suggest taking part in my grand trial instead.

@Beth PavellThe troll in question basically said that anything less than a direct translation is disrespecting the foreign audiences.

A lot of people like to speak for foreign audiences and foreign nations without actually having any knowledge of them. The entire "scandal" that Ghost in the Shell gets for casting a certain actress is a prime example of that.

Being culturally respectful is fine. But unfortunately, there are a lot of people who need to be taught that "speaking for another culture" is not "being culturally respectful."

 

[Instrutilus]

Oh joy, we've been taken over... Welp -cocks shotgun- time to rebel.

*exchanges the shotgun for a light machinegun*

I prefer the shotgun. You take the light machinegun, give me cover fire so I can get close enough to use it. Anyone want the sniper rifle?

 

[Kharixi]

Just ignore it. It'll be gone within the next couple days, most likely.

Precisely. -cocks shotgun-

That's not the spirit1 We need all hands on deck in order to combat this invasion. Even our poor Fic of the Month has fallen victim as well. #resist

Kinda hard to ignore a massive change in colors

 

[Beth Pavell]

My main banner looks really rather horrible in these colours. Oh, what the hell, speaking of horrible

*changes sig banner

There we go

 

[SuperTrainStationH]

I for one welcome our new gangsta overlords.

 

[diamondpearl876]

Team Skull can hardly rhyme, let alone color coordinate.
