Why are final fantasy fans like this? Did you ever heard about any other fandom that started actual IRL abusive, religious cult based on a video game? Just imagine young adults walking around town pretending to be video game characters and stealing random shit because they had no money and didn't want to work. Final fantasy autism in all it's glory.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px18KdjRayg
Is this your first time learning about this? When the PSX games were coming out a big part of the playerbase was obsessive teenage girls who would say "baka" or "bishie" out loud in school, mind you weebdom was very small and frowned upon. These are the kind of women who went on to become deviantart tumblrinas with blue hair.They were popular games, my favorites still, but they are like gasoline to your average mildly-psychotic edgelord's fire.
No more cringe than NGE or Xenogears pretending psychoanalysis is some deep religion
>>12764454Yes, I did learn about it just recently. It's interesting because if you played final fanatsy 7 it was completely against cults and extreme warning, like shinra being corporate cult, sephirot having his own cult. I was still in my elementary school when final fanatsy came out and had almost no contact with high-schoolers so it was just game with cool, new graphics for me.
>>12764438>stealing random shit because they had no money and didn't want to workIt's okay, they had Steal materia equipped.
>>12764469>Yes, I did learn about it just recently.That's fine, you were probably better off not knowing about it.I figured most had seen https://youtu.be/lFRjrLmc_4c but it's 8 years old now.7-10 came out when I was in middle and high school. They were possibly the only video games I ever talked with other people about IRL other than pokemon.I don't think the game created a "cult," I think there were just some horny edgelords larping and it's what they were into at the time.
>>12764469>try and teach kids to be individuals>they band together as broody cloud wannabesfunny that is
>>12764454>obsessive teenage girls who would say "baka" or "bishie" out loud in schoolngl I kinda miss them, weeb culture has changed so much since then
>>12764454>When the PSX games were coming out a big part of the playerbase was obsessive teenage girls who would say "baka" or "bishie" out loud in schoolThe first PlayStation was our before that shit. We barely had Sailor Moon in the states and Ninja Scroll was an obscure anime my friend happened to get a VHS recording of.
>>12764469>final fanatsy 7 it was completely against cultsNo it wasn't. There was no predominant "anti-cult" message. There was a message again the corporate and military industrial complex raping the planet for resources regardless of repercussions, but not of this was based on cults.
>>12764509Yeah, I miss 'em too. We've come a long way from trading gameboy carts and anime VHS ("episodes 9-12 of a series you've never seen!") after school. Dial-up, toonami, the playstation... weebdom had truly begun in the US. It was really cringy, but I look back on those times and smile.
>>12764529I remember a substitute teacher sharing burned copies of an anime OST with us kids in the class who liked anime. what a time that was.
VII didn't expressly have anything to do with cults.But - Cloud idolized Zack, Zack idolized Sephiroth. Everyone idolized this military macho man ideal and molded themselves into it to "get girls." It wasn't until Cloud realized how tryhard he was and became a real self that he got with Tifa and killed the reincarnated form of Sephiroth.>>12764532Nice. There was guaranteed to be some kid with a portable CD player (without anti-skip) in their backpack in any given class, though they probably wouldn't let you take their Wu-Tang CD out.
>>12764509I feel like the fujoshi has become an endangered species in the English speaking world.
>>12764509I can't remember the last time I got glomped
>>12764582Good, fag hags are horrible.
>>12764438>>12764509>>12764529>>12764582these people still exist today they're just not really weebs anymore and have latched onto western media that aligns with their fagnessits the tumblr subculture. Homestuck, Deltarune, Vizzie Pop cartoons, Steven Universe, MLP etc etc.part of why these people existed is they were all yuri/yaoi shippers and Japan was the only place they could get media where that was depicted since in the early 2000s homosexuality was so demonized in the USA. These days they have plenty of gay shit that appeals to them and then they also don't have to deal with "problematic" aspects of anime like sexualized minors or objectification of women.This is not the answer you want to hear but its the answer that is true unfortunately.
>>12764582All the Fujoshis now are formerly men
>>12764438>Just imagine young adults walking around town pretending to be video game characters and stealing random shit because they had no money and didn't want to work.This literally happens in my city there's a bunch of teenagers who go to the local mall cosplaying Danganronpa characters. I guess I don't know if they steal random shit but I'm just going to assume the Junko cosplayer is shoplifting because it fits the narrative.
So which FF raped you in the ass that you're making anti-FF threads non-stop constantly?
>>12764438Discord
>>12764438>Ever Crisis didn't add Green HojoC R I N G Eglad i didn't spend money on this dead gachamake
ohnononono
>>12765251It's probably another B-virus victim from /fgg/But who's to say this auster faggot isn't part of the B-virus plague?
>>12764509Back around 2005, I played d&d and vtm with a young woman of about 20 who wore a Naruto wristband everywhere.Erin, I miss you and your amazing meals
>>12764554>VII didn't expressly have anything to do with cults.What about the satanic torture rooms and stuff
>>12767627Finklestein was a much better father than Hojo.
>>12768668I still can’t get over the fact that Hojo is Sephiroth’s biological father with how goddamned ugly he is.
>>12768701It's an unwritten rule in FF7 that ugly bastard scientists pull the hot pussy and produce beautiful children. Look at Professor Gast as another example, that pornostache-wearing prick somehow porked a milf like Ifalna.
>>12764454>my favorites still...Captivating!
>>12764438The PSX games are fun but for some reason they work as fuel for autism
>>12767749you mean don corneo's room? just some bdsm, bro
>>12769946We need to find the logic behind this and weaponize it.
>>12768701lucky for him, he gets all his looks from his mom.it's not even one of those situations where hojo was hot when he was younger, he was always an ugly freak.
>>12768701I headcannon that that's why Sephiroth went crazy, imagine finding out that THAT pervo NTR creep was your old man and your twink death will be the worst one imaginable. Shit I'd burn the world to the ground too
I'm not sure if I can pinpoint the origin of edgy characters and aesthetics in 1997, with the release of Final Fantasy VII and Radiohead's Ok Computer.
>>12770520>FFVII>OK ComputerReally takes me back. You weren’t one of the hip people on message boards if you didn’t like Radiohead.
