I think Tim should be considered Japanese for Yi Rule purposes.

An interest in anime and manga does not make him Japanese. :contract:

It does make him subhuman though.

Bollocks.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with most anime or manga. :)

Why, have you done something wrong?

You have no idea.

No idea what crimes you have committed?

Or no idea that you were making a pathetic stab at my support for most anime and manga, a bugbear for several figures on this forum?

They're only crimes if you get caught.

You seem very defensive about your taste crime. Care to explain?

How true...

Not particularly. I just know from experience that the ratio on this forum is about 5% "anime lovers", 15% "anime haters", and 80% "couldn't give a damn about either side but wish they would get a life"rs.

And calling someone "sub-human" due to his taste in entertainment is a tad extreme. If you told me that Tim only watched tentacle porn or read incest hentai, then you might have had a point with the "sub-human" comment, but, as I know very well from this and other forums, Tim is much more conventional in his tastes than that. ;)

When the time comes I will personally herd your kind into the gas chambers. I guess that makes me one of the 15%.

I'd threaten to do the same, but I'm not feeling that silly this morning...let's continue this after I've had a few drinks this evening. :)

I think his numbers are suspect. I'd guess the majority are in the "mild dislike/disinterest in anime and may take the occasional pot-shot" category.

They're at least as accurate as government statistics - UK ones anyway.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm not even going to dispute this. I've seen the effects of our "everyone deserves an A" culture/drive of the last 20 or 30 years. I'm only glad that I was sent to a public school, not the local comprehensive, and that this was before they really started to drive standards down in the nineties and beyond.

I suggest if anyone wants to collect the actual statistics on this issue for Languish, they start a poll.

VIKING WHERE ARE YOU?

Timmy conceded the question to you, I believe. as you had the closest answer. Don't let Yi be proved right, please... :mad:
