sweet JP and hella sonoshee

[trent bortknob]

it's sad that "hella" is part of our vernacular today

what a stupid fucking word

it really is a stupid word, i started saying it as a joke to make fun of the kids i'm around in california and now it's reflexive

huge digimon fan, big pokemon fan. Although that kind of totally died out now due to the fact that i lost my nintendo DS.

I like going to 9gag.com, although i know that they steal and watermark other shit; it's just an easy and quickly accessible collection of funny pics.

I liked portal 1 a lot dispite its fan base being shitty as hell. And for some reason I didn't like portal 2 as much (i still liked it) and portal 2's fanbase seems to be not as bad as far as i know.

i like the movie "The blair witch project 2: book of shadows" although a lot of people - even critics - consider it to be one of the worst movies ever.

I enjoy watching big bang theory, how i met your mother and scrubs.

what im wondering, when you say 'i like this despite the horrible fanbase' how do you know you're not one of those horrible fans yourself?
for example i can hardly imagine a person liking big bang theory the 'good' way but maybe im just jaded

[lenko]

i think its down to their attitude and the way they appreciate it in public/on the internet/etc

for example SOAD fans have this stereotype of being 12-16 year old rejects with a sense of humour on par with seth macfarlane. some people may enjoy SOAD but don't want to be affiliated with this crowd. same with big bang theory, the stereotype of that audience is a bunch of people who laugh at everything nerdy in the show simply because it's nerdy. you kind of have a point though, because in the few eps i've seen of BBT that's all it seems to be (nerd references)

I didn't say i don't associate myself with the fanbase of BBT. That was the case for portal 1, and i can safely say that i'm not into those "the cake is a lie" jokes (or space jokes from portal 2). I like BBT, HIMYM and Scrubs and I know that a lot of people dislike the show, that's all.

[rtil]

i like family guy

even the new seasons where they've clearly run out of ideas and jokes?

i don't think there's anyone here who's openly a horrible fan of anything pretty much. tba's average crowd houses chill folk generally

[funzop]

hot dogs w/ peanut butter
shitty video games like shaq fu (not ironically and not just because theyre funny like genuinely enjoy)
some weird music and some lame pop things and some indie shit and some metal trash
some manga and anime
terraria
monty python
some other shit idk

they put their stuff out there and it's there for a certain audience. if you don't like it, don't look at it.

so you shouldnt criticize sprite cartoons because fat idiot nerds like it?

i enjoy stupid/racist/shocking comics like electric retard and then feel horible about it

do you mean you feel guilty for laughing at something so shocking and offensive or you feel terrible laughing at something so unfunny and tryhard

[Sef]

White rappers no one has heard of and onions on 70% of the food I eat

you can openly dislike something and can criticize anything you want, but i wouldn't actually make fun of people for liking sprite movies or hate on someone for making them. hating on the work is different from hating on the person imo

[funzop]

i dunno, continuing with the (dated) example of sprite toons, i feel pretty comfortable saying alvin earthworm is a talentless hack and his fans are/ were pretty big morons for liking his material. i feel like you can judge someone based on what they like and what they make, as it shows their personal interests and oftentimes their values, which gives you insight on their personality and sense of humor and other things
like i wouldnt actively seek alvin earthworm fans out and shit but i came into contact with someone who was all SPRITE TOONS ROCK SUPER MARIO BROS Z IS SO COOL OMG WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT i would feel ok calling them an idiot

I think im gonna have to hate you for making me curious enough to google who the hell alvin earthworm was.

[Fluffkomix]

I enjoy My Little Pony and Newgrounds

i'm not sure i follow. am i criticizing the author for attracting that audience? the cartoon for its content and merit? or the fans? either way it's fruitless to me. yeah i spent years making parodies and rapping on all kinds of things , but i didnt do it because i thought i had something to prove to them, i did it because it was funny to me. it was just as big of a waste of time as the stuff i was parodying. at the end of the day they're not going to change their minds about the kind of garbage they like, or at least most of them arent, so what good is saying something like "only fat idiot nerds like this" going to accomplish?

[funzop]

its not going to accomplish much of course but i thought you were implying that there was something wrong with saying it at all w/e

i wouldn't. i wouldn't want to interact with them at all. i would just avoid them and forget i ever came in contact with them. they like what they like and calling them an idiot won't ever make them change their mind.

i said "if you dont like it, dont look at it", i dont see how that implies anything
