What's there to understand?

I know many of them are intelligent. If they weren't, they wouldn't be able to keep up with or understand such a complex system of memes, inside jokes, references, etc.


Listen, cut the BS for once. It's not complicated or complex; all it requires is wasting lots of time on 4-chan. Anybody who can stomach post after post of childish nonsense and fringe porn can become yet another 4-chan regular virtually indistinguishable from all the rest.

I suspect a big part of the reason ANN is seen as being anti-loli is Zac's position on it (specifically mentioned in that 4chan thread)

That's probably the main reason, but "No other manga, and maybe no other book, on the bookshelf will get you thinking like Fullmetal Alchemist" and variations like "no other anime, and maybe no other TV show, on the boob tube will get you thinking like insert title here" are popular copypastas on /a/.

It's a shame the save of that thread can't include all the pictures. When you click on them, the page just saves "4chan.com" Some of the pictures where to small to tell what was being said, particularly the ones that appeared to be screenshots of another thread.

Those were scans from Moe-tan, not screenshots of threads on other forums. I don't really remember what they said, but I can vaguely recall one of them saying something along the lines of "Permission: I cried when my mom washed my life-sized sex doll without my permission."

And in response to >>1745401, I'm a faggot because as soon as I saw that picture posted here I thought 4chan was going to raid ANN like they've done to the Christian Anime Alliance on several occasions and over-reacted. (I recently saw a screenshot from a CAA “what anime surprised you the most?” thread over there where a raider posted a picture of Misty from Pokémon taking of her panties with the caption “SURPRISE!” I wish I had saved it, it was hilarious.) And I’m also a faggot because I have 1000+ posts.

I'm going to lock this up. We have no beef with 4chan at all, the pictures were harmless fun, there's no reason to continue this discussion.
