Don't know if movie studios pay off critics but they are definitely pretty selective about the quotes they put on trailers and such.  I mean just by sheer statistics there's bound to be some critic that likes even the shittiest of movies.

The cupcakes, really?  Not sure they were that featured or it was even said what flavor they were?  If this were Kekkaishi I could understand LOL.

Haha, ouch.  Wouldn't say it's that bad but I think the issue is people just have shonen fatigue and Black Clover wasn't cutting it for them.

I forgot all about this thread until now. What I'm talking about goes beyond Toonami posters from ASMB. This community in general always has something to bitch about, which I why you don't see me in most threads across this board.

When ASMB posters aren't acting acting like they're Siskel & Every about a show, which is not limited to what airs on Adult Swim, they're bitching about politics, religions, food, their lives, how they can't get laid or a date, how they hate their lives, etc, etc.

As for what airs on the Toonami block, a nice portion of you need to realize, that just because you don't like a certain show, doesn't mean others hate it like you do. In fact, most of the shows you like to nitpick for whatever reason are shows, that some of us actually like. 

Every show has it's flaws in some way or the other. However, we don't spend every post DWELLING on it. Most of the time, I cherry pick which shows I want to watch on TV but I don't spend HOURS online everyday complaining about every show. That's partly why there is so much infighting within both the Toonami fandom and Anime fans in general.

 

The main board is a cesspool of mental illness. You have a bipolar woman (fuggz) trying to get constant attention, then 30 people who think they're morally superior by treating her like human garbage. It's depressing to watch.

Then you have a bunch of nutty socialists, 9/11 truthers, racists and assorted wackjobs. It's not a place for serious debate of any topic.

Then you have the people who complain constantly about their lives and share way too much info about themselves. I'm not interested in any of that.

I'm just here to talk about anime and Toonami =P I almost never bother to even look at the main board.

The point stands though, a lot of Toonami viewers sit through all of Toonami. When a show gets aired that isn't critically liked and gets bad ratings, people are going to tear it a new one on a weekly basis.

Now that it airs later the amount of hatred might die down a bit. Having it air 3rd was a pretty brutal spot for it.

I got my ammo ready whenever I hear Todd on Toonami for the umpteenth fuckin time.

Now you know how the dubbies felt when he voiced every protagonist in FUNi's shows for a while.

Yes, I can absolutely agree with you on the issues listed above, which is why you could say that some if not most posters left ASMB before it shut down. There's too much toxicity within this çommunity.

I've belonged to at least several message boards over the last 9 years. Much like every show has its own flaws, there are online forums and posters on them with their own flaws. However, there is something about the posters from ASMB that so much time gets wasted on being negative, hateful, and divisive. 

It's extremely difficult trying to generate discussions without someone always derailing threads to troll other posters they want to cyberstalk and bully, if not slander because they're petty, vindictive, self-righteous, sociopathic, misanthropic, have a chip on their shoulder, and a severe case of Little Dick Syndrome.

Since I have belonged to other forums in the past, I'm used to actually having fun socializing without having to scrutinize someone's movie, show, viewer ratings (which can easily be rigged like voting), identity, lifestyle, etc.

People don't and shouldn't have to join fan forums to talk about how they like a certain song, movie, show, etc. with other fans. I've lurked at fan forums for certain shows and the fans can be extremists.

Also, forums are on life support these days because so many people have grown obsessed with liking and sharing selfies on Facebook. Don't even get me started on that site! It's like a narcissist's dream come true. 

Forums were the original "social networking sites." People are actually forced to interact with each other. Social media sites are isolating. You don't have to talk to anyone you don't want to and if they're crazy, you can report, unfriend, and block them.

Both social media sites and message boards come with double edged swords. It really comes down to how people use them and if you're on them to have fun or spoil other people's mood with constant negativity.

As far as I'm concerned, the Toonami board is the main board on this forum.

All of the above! Nah I have no idea i don't go on the main forum enough to know who thinks what.

I suspect that forums will return to some kind popularity given the current nonsense involving Faceplant and data analysis/sale.

A large part of the issue is that for whatever reason people here seem to have accepted atrocious behavior as some kind of norm. Be it to give themselves justification for equally awful behavior or just a general apathy, nothing is done when people behave in a fundamentally shitty manner to each other here. Until the community as a whole decides that being a reprobate is unacceptable, it will continue.

That has to be the biggest problem. Because the assholes running Adult Swim have no respect for their viewers, veteran viewers who were veteran posters of ASMB think they can walk all over and dog out other posters.

They especially do it more to women whether they view us as "fap material" or not.

Before deleting my Twitter account last year, I lurked at Adult Swim's page. On their Twitter page, they posted this snide remark saying that "TV is the Internet for stupid people." So,  anyone who watches TV including their network is STUPID because they don't watch shows online?

Reading that remark reminded me of certain condescending posters from Noise, who think they are so much "SMAWTA" than everyone else. Anyone who doesn't share their narrow-minded hobbies, interests, views, lifestyle, and so-called definition of "morals" is beneath beneath them.

Or maybe MySpace will make a comeback. 

Not only that, but aren't flaming and trolling not against the rules anymore?

Todd Haberkorn?  The problem is he has a very distinctive and unusual voice, annoying almost.  And he doesn't seem capable or willing to vary it. 

Gotta say it didn't sit well with me at first when I realized he was the voice of Natsu.  Since even if Todd can be annoying, he's usually not the main character in shows, much less ones that go on for a long time.

This should be grounds for immediate banning.

I can be arrogant at times, but I would hope you don't consider me to be in this category....

After 2 weeks, I'm surprised this thread is still active.

Anyway, judging from what I've observed, it seems like the only reason why the worst of the worst haven't been given the Moose treatment is because they conveniently PAID to be on this site after Luuv died. Since they paid to be here, they are free to dog out whoever they want, whenever they want without remorse for it.

You know what? I'm not going to waste time arguing about it. In fact, I've been done with this thread, since last week yet it is still going because posters keep responding to me in it. Right now, I'm getting ready to unfollow the notifications like I did for the last few threads. Posting in this same thread is tiresome.

[PokeNirvash]

To think how different things would be here if Daos hadn't namedropped Zenigundam, who I ignore on principle anyways.

okay can we discuss how horrified the woman making the cupcakes looks in the video thumbnail?

She knows what she's done.
