why would you ever join an online fandom for a game you've never played?
tranime picture books are not videogames
>>744649839I watched Lain. Young girl in her underwear tinkering with computers was kind of sexy, but I don't remember much else other than someone was trying to communicate with her.Played the first Alice. It was a neat use of the Q3A engine, and I ended up buying the Annotated Alice as a companion.Don't recognize any of the other shit.
>>744649839Fuck KimikaMarry KonataKill Aoi
>>744649839Lucky Star had games? What a terrible show btw. Killed anime in 2007 and never recovered
>>744649839Expecting people to play video games is classist and ableist.
>>744649839>no Anonymous Agony
>>744649839there is a big portion of people that get into a franchise just for one character, and they sort of just absorb the franchise through screencaps, mostly of that one character, so they come out with very limited understanding of the whole but think they are experts. then they go into forums and thats how shitty opinions snowball and agends and narratives start forming. Yes I am using JJK as a case study.But also nowadays, particularly gen alphas just interact with a franchise/story through clips, and NEVER go deeper than that but call themselves a fan and make themselves a part of the fandom.
i cant believe this dumb lil nigga saved anime

>>744649839>why would you ever join an online fandomFix'd
>>744649839Serial experiments Lain is the best anime ever made though
I played/read/watched most of these. What do I win?
>>744654859this
>>744649839>nobody watched lucky starimagine getting filtered by chocolate
>>744651035>saved animeyou called?
>>744655427I blame Revengeance for acting as memefuel to raise everyone's expectations that KlK would be as good as TTGL. Such a shame.
>>744655596MGR wasn't even out yet when KIK airedit is shit though
>>744649839millennial transcore anime and video games
>>744650874Yeah, the bigger question is how did anyone expect a generation raised on 10 second long hyperstimulating clips to be able to read dozens of hours long visual novels or to watch several seasons of leisurely paced anime.
>>744649839>never read>I've played a few, suck a SHMUPS, liked HRtP the best>never heard of>never read>watched some of it as a kid, liked it>never read>never heard of>watched the first two episodes, didn't like it>never heard of>caught a livestream of the final episode, it was meh>never read/watched>never played>never read>never playedHow come only like 3 of these are videogames with gameplay?
>>744649839What's the point of liking Kimika without reading the VN?I guess you could apply that to a lot of these characters, but still.
>>744655596TTGL is overrated trash.
I jerk off to characters from gachas that I have negative interest on actually playing
>>744649839Some people have a crippling sense of Fomo and an innate compulsion to be part of something, even if they don't belong.
>>744659910Gacha characters are too sexualized for me to find them hot. VN characters are much more fappable exactly because they are designed for the male gaze but without feeling like they exist for no other purpose besides stirring lust.
>anon fell in love with fictional woman again
>played Luna Nights>played the two Labyrinth of Toehoes>played Mystia IzakayaI'm a true fan
>>744649839Fuck noneMarry noneKill Nicole
>>744656692MGR had been out for months by the time KlK first aired, you clearly weren't around for the threads because it was very much present as part of the hype.>>744658606And yet it's still better than anything Trigger ever made.
Wasn't Watamote fairly popular?
>>744664124it may have been but to actually watch through all the episodes without dying from third person embarrassment is an achievement
>>744664124As was Lucky Star, but modern fans probably mostly like them based on vibes. The secondaries as you willKind of like how a lot of people like Hatsune Miku, but do they actually listen to vocaloid? Maybe some top hits from a select few producers, but most of them just like the character design
>>744649839Played Imperishable Night. Played Madness Returns. Watched the Euphoria hentai. Am I based or cringe?
>>744664124The first few chapters of the manga were an insane hit on /a/ back in the day. And then it turned into y*ri
>>744649839Only zoomers do this, they think they can be fans of something after watching a couple tiktoks.
I played Fatal Frame, MR, NSO. Idk the rest they look like 2005 otaku cringe
>>744656901>says the zoomer who had his egg cracked
Everyone in this thread is perfectly normal.
>>744664827exactly, chuds cant just let us have fun!
>>744649839Only trannies haven't played those games
>>744664827
>>744649839but i did play the alice gamespretty good desu
>>744649839Umineko: Read. Erika was funTouhou: Played. Even the fighting games. The football fangame based on the Tsubasa game was also great.Saya no Uta: Read. Scientist shotgun route was good.That pink haired girl's 4th wall break game: Nope. Who played NTR visual novels?Lucky Star: Watched years ago. Lucky channel was better than the main show.SubaHibi: Nope. I need to get around reading it.Class of 09: >imagine reading non-JP visual novels.Lain: Watched. I tried the game but it looked like a headache so I didn't bother. You could try the game online.Needy Girl Overdose: Tried to play it but wasn't my thing. The anime reminded me of Magical Girl Destroyers which wasn't great so I didn't bother watching it.Watamote: Read this until she started making friends. The "/a/ sings" of the ending was pretty funny.Mad Alice: Nope. I don't play games with female protaganists. NGO doesn't count as you were her producer like in princess maker. Yes I know.Higurashi: Read. When is Ryukishi going to finish Ciconia? I only play finished games so I haven't even read the first chapter of Ciconia.Euporia: Watched. Wish I didn't. I'm more of a vanilla and magical girl kind-of-guy.Bottom right: Who?
>>744649839Where are the girls from DDLC? I bet most people havent played the games and only like the designs
>>744649839>randoms still seething about Lucky Star massive success in 2026 kek
>>744649839>>744668796Also to answer the question I've got no idea. I just look up wikis when I forget something from a game I once played. I guess kids want something to be a fan of and want to join other fandoms but don't experience the original media. I feel Touhou has this happen the most but most fans are use to this. I guess they get sucked in by the cute girls and ignore anything else but aren't brave enough to say it so they pretend to be fans.
Where's Earthbound/Mother 3?
>>744655427who?
>>744657219It wasn't made for them but they refuse to accept this
>>744649839>played Mystic Square; didn't think highly or lowly of it>keep meaning to get around to Luck Star>watched others play Class of 09; pretty funny at times>keep meaning to get around to Alice>keep meaning to get around to Lain
>>744669337Kill La Kill. A Trigger anime. Back in 2013 people use to say it had come to save anime. It's a fun watch with alot of fan service.
>>744664231
>>744668796>The anime reminded me of Magical Girl DestroyersGod that was a horribly misshandled potentially great idea
>>744655206That choco bread scene has filtered everyone I know from watching Lucky Star. It's a strong filter.
>>744669673care to use words?
>>744664124She made friends so she stopped being popular
>>744669754https://youtu.be/zaHP_yjEb4Ehttps://youtu.be/xunbGzh6w-AAt least the opening and ending were wild
>>744649839I don't interact with online fandoms at all but>TouhouHaven't played, but plan to once I'm better at reading Japanese.>SayaThe route where Fuminori turns himself in is good, everything else is shit. I don't care for eroge though and only played this because of the Lovecraftian monster girl gf premise.>Lucky StarRegular CGDCT. Cute, comfy, only worth watching once.>WatamoteIt's fine. Nothing notable about it.>EuphoriaA friend streamed this to a Discord server I was in a long time ago. It was insufferable and I checked out by the time that one girl shit herself while being electrocuted to death. Meritless and retarded ryona slop.>LainGood anime, nice atmosphere. Watched it too long ago to remember much about it but I know I liked it. I felt bad for the sister. Shame about the tranny zoomers missing the point entirely and turning her into a self-insert moeblob.>AliceSomewhere on my eternal backlog. I'll probably play it one day.I don't care about the rest.>>744650153I'm pretty sure it had a DS game. Every big anime that released around that time did.
>>744649839Fatal Frame is my favorite series and the social media co-opting of it is sort of confusing until you realize 80% of it is the remaster of 5 and 18% of the remainder is the remaster of 4.
>>744669956Worked on me, why the fuck would I want to watch a series about a bunch of retards having a bunch of retarded in group conversations? Not even particularly funny ones at that. If making your series appear as if it is utter dogshit in the first 15 minutes is a "filter" then bravo I guess.
>>744655206>>744669956>>744671273https://myanimelist.net/anime/35413/Imouto_sae_Ireba_Iicheck this filter out
>>744649839I played/watched all the shit in your OP you dumb FAGGOT.
>>744649839Loved Luna Nights and played EoSD for 5 minutes. Played both Alice games. Played Every Fatal Frame except the Wii remake of 2 (even Spirit Camera). Did one run of Ame's game. Have watched Lain and Lucky Star multiple times each. Watched Watamote once, dropped the manga a little after the field trip.
>>744649839i want to impreg tomoko
>>744671273Lucky Star feels like being at the lunch table with your high school friends again, only it's 2007 and one of them is a particularly raging otaku. Also, Lucky Channel hard carries.
Genshiken is the true newfag otaku filter lucky star is a memsy test of patience.
>>744668796>Nope. I don't play games with female protagonists.>Touhou: Played. Even the fighting games.Well? Which is it schizo?
>>744655427Damn, that's a throwback.

You'd have to be unwell to contaminate yourself with these products.
>>744649839playing umineko rnabout to finish the 5th witch tea party
>>744671529This is exactly what I mean, except I wouldn't ever find myself being friends with any of these people, and I already have friends to begin with. It just feels pathetic but I guess I'm not the target audience.
>>744649839Back in the day it was because I was too young, dumb or lacked the money to actually engage with stuff I found interesting, so I consumed secondary material. As I grew up and had enough money and know how, I was able to actually play those obscure japanese games. I understand it's a similar case for a lot of young'uns, a lot of that older media feels intimidating and cryptic from their point of view
cumming in konata's womb while she leglocks you
zoomer here to save millennials from humiliating themselves even more. this image, without the text, is a compilation of girls that teenage “femcels” larp as. it was popular on TikTok a few months back. someone added the text and turned it into a bait thread, and now you are all competing to see who knows the most about teenage girl games. nobody cares if the game came out in the 2000s or who their original audience is because these games are widely known as teenage girl games now.
>>744671273It's a show made to pander to 2007 otaku. Naturaly anyone who doesn't care that Konata has the same voice actress as Haruhi aren't going to be wow'd by an old CGDCT anime.

You ever think about how the otaku culture you grew up with is long dead and gone and the only people you can talk about it with now are either too young to really understand the pulse of the culture at the time or are consuming older era shows that have caught on only in modern spaces after the fact? (Think Nana)Nothing ages me quicker than reading comments and commentary on popular Japanese media and seeing the fingerprints of teenagers who lack the context that someone who was there would've had and realising you are no longer the core of the community
>>744649839I played touhou
>>744649839I miss Tomoko posting on /a/
>>744649839There are literally thousands of toehoe games in multiple platforms. What people usually mean when they say someone has never played the games is if they've never 1cc'd all mainline games.
>boomers competing to see who knows more about the things teenager girls on xitter use as profile picture without knowing where they're fromthe absolute state of this board
>>744650874>But also nowadays, particularly gen alphas just interact with a franchise/story through clips, and NEVER go deeper than that but call themselves a fan and make themselves a part of the fandom.Eh, that was a thing with zoomers and millenials who read everything about it in the fan wiki and act like an expert but never watched an episode/played the game. The "huge [thing] fan excited to play it for the first time" is a pretty old meme.
>>744649839Watamote is literally an ongoing series. This bait sucks.
>>744684781
>>744649839No, but I have seen Lucky Star/Serial Experiments and I’ve played American McGee’s Alice but not the sequel.
>>744664124it used to be... the title "It's Not My Fault I'm Not Popular" was accurate. She was a shut-in neet with only one friend whom I don't think actually goes to her school at all and her days consisted of playing whatever new dating VN was out then at some point she got really popular, made a bunch of friends, and the manga quit being relatable to most people on 4chan and turned into yuri bait instead
>>744684916It might as well have ended a long time ago, like many other manga past expiration date.
>>744683176Actually, it's everything around her. I'm not really a cunnyfag. I liken watching it to turning on a radio frequency that's just static and liking the noise somehow.
>still entertaining the idea of online "communities" and "fandoms" in 2026Some people can't get enough of SEA monkeys and Mexicans who type in ebonics.The concept of "community" itself should be retired. Anyone who tries to get you to join a community is a psychopath who wants control over you. There's absolutely nothing two human beings could meaningfully have in common with each other. I don't want to be around you because you too enjoy The Maiden Rape Assault - Violent Semen Inferno. You don't like it the way I like it and our differences are irreconcilable. I am an individual and I will destroy your community if I feel like it.
>>744685748>abloobloobloo I dont like it and I think it should dieI dont like you and I think you should die. See how one random comment on the internet doesn't matter because the people who should be affected by it can simply ignore it?You are genuinely a fucking idiot.

Why would you ever join a fandom?
>>744684280I'm 30. I spend all my time 2000s maxing. I just finished SubaHibi and Tsukihime last year.
>>744649980Newfag shartoid. Go back to your dead website. 4chan won btw
>>744670307Watching Watamote with subtitles is bearable; however, hearing what that might be like translated. The only way that I'd rewatch it is if I'm either high, drunk, or preferably both.
