Well, in that case, I am honoured to be considered a "buyfag" in all possible permutations and meanings. Anime hyper

Edit: What a douche.

So I take it to mean someone who actually pays for something they want to support?

So I guess that just makes the other guy a regular fag? Haha.

Pretty absurd though.

I like the idea of calling them pennypincherfags. Laughing

Wow...just....wow. I'm torn between lawling and facepalming. Ah hell, I'll do both.

LOL! *facepalm*

In the end, it always results in pointless name calling :/

Well, in the context, I get his point, even though he made it in a childish manner. Some people who buy a lot of anime are elitist pricks, with me being one of them to certain degree. Although, I'd argue the leeches that hide behind internet anonymity are what make anime fans look bad, not the ones bragging about being poor because of their anime addictions. Actually, after reading a lot of the comments about the Fractle thing, I could make a good argument either way.

I personally prefer to think of myself as a "buystud"... Or maybe "buycurious"?

Well then- I'm buyfurious! Laughing (Everyone who gets that, go get yourself a cookie.)

More seriously, though- that's right guy, pulling a single phrase out of context makes us look bad, and couldn't in any way make you look just as bad. I agree with 'facepalm'.
