As someone who grew up on dialup, and professionally works in IT/networking…
No.
Just no.
The natives of the internet are not weebs.
Yeah, it’s furries
The natives of the internet are mainly coders from universities, they were the first ones online and they built the protocols we use to communicate. Their code is still in use. They wrote the RFC’s that govern everything.
One of my favorites is RFC 1925.

So in other words… Furries.

Who’s to say engineers don’t like to have fun?
Nope. Furries are a really recent phenomenon.
We’ve existed since the 80’s. The only thing recent about us is the population boom the internet gave us.
But the broader visibility out of the niches is a more recent phenomenon. I’m around the net since the early bulletin boards thanks to my really forward looking parents. And jeah. I’ve seen shit early on. But furries are something that I’ve first encountered in their recent form in the late 2000s early 2010s. Andnthat was about 20 years after the first acoustic coupler sounds rang through my parents living room. And I sure as hell didn’t shy away from all the places where they could have been encountered.
this is news to all of us greymuzzles with multiple decades invested in the fandom
What? Not in terms of the history of the internet
If I had one wish I would make anime go away. Not because I don’t like it…I just REALLY want to see how that plays out.
Seems like it would make a great anime.
An Otaku Who Woke Up In A World Where Anime Got Deleted Forever
“How I Got An Overpowered Ability And Removed Anime : Final Season Part II”
The feedback loop you just created hurts my head.
OK! Wait! There is actually one that is basically this premise.
Mahou Shoujo Magical Destroyers
The plot is trash. This is just failed mobile game ad for even more garbage game.
This isn’t classic over promise and under deliver. I would say this bait and switch level quality.
Opening song is a banger (#3 in 2023 according to gigguk). For best experience I would say watch first episode and then drop it.
Have you seen what Japan was like before they had anime? No fucking thanks let them have their cartoons
Damn, this villain arc sounds pretty good
Next I go after the tendies
Now that is a step too FAR
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
Anime mfs took it from the nerds. This is weebwashing
The Internet equivalent to “white people are the original Americans”
You say that like there’s a difference
“The age of nerds is over, the time of the weebs has come!”
It was said at the end times the nerds would become one with the weebs
It’s trekkies actually. Weebs were mostly an off-internet phenomenon until the early 2000s.
Haha! So true. The first video I ever downloaded was a fansubbed Cowboy Bebop episode sometime around 2000.
This just makes Trekkies the Africa to the Weebs’ Glorious Nippon.
I never wanted to cyberbully so mf bad
Anime pfps are for short, ugly losers with a femdom fetish.
So they are for your mom?
…?
I’m… honestly at a loss for words. I’m so confused by this comment. What does this mean?
Bro. You hear the words “your mom” on the computer screen and you are supposed to start laughing.
But like… I set you up for such an obvious joke. I have an anime pfp. And you didn’t just hit me with the left hook, you grew a third arm and squeezed my balls with it.
congratulations
you have won the award of most creative comment on lemmy (as of 2019)
He just likes balls now move on
Voyager doesn’t show profile pics so I had to see OP’s reply to get the joke.
Wow til lemmy has pfps
Now I have to get an anime pfp 😮💨
Imma need a title for that, looks like some early 2000’s shit and that’s my jam
Serial Experiments Lain. Ignore the fans, it’s a great show from the start of the Internet Age.
Damn, that’s been on my list for a while, guess this is a sign that I need to watch it next
Agreed 0.o
Hey!
