>>106016382Some of these are so fucking real and I haven't even been in these communities nearly as long as some of you. I started watching anime back in 2013 and I can still safely say fuck CR for even daring to exist. Those fags started a paid service for piracy in a community entirely dependent on said piracy, and normals just thought "fuck me it's paid, must be legit bro!!" and have completely ruined subbing and quite honestly dubbing as well. Any good dub of any anime I can think of like Berserk, NGE, Cowboy Bebop, literally anything is almost all from pre-2008-ish. Now we have bitches like Jamie Marchi spearheading the entire fucking dubbing industry through the cucks at CR. Fuck that cunt. IRC was ruined by the "convenience" (sell us all your data and chat logs) of social media because normals don't want effort, they want ease and convenience. I hate that I was born at the end of the era where everything was fucking decent. Where communities helped each other and corporations weren't in on everything. The convenience is nice, but not for what we had to give up to get it. Can't ride motorcycles because there isn't a community for it, it's just loser fags who spent 30k of daddy's money on the shiniest toy jerking each other off. There used to be passion, there used to be excitement, forums, community. it's all dead.
