"ESL" is just /v/'s variant of the "Is that a minor typo? YOU LOSE I WIN. What were we 'fighting' at? Doesn't matter I need this o-okay?" thing that Redditors do

Modern /v/ is just Reddit behavior
This place used to influence Reddit culture, now it's the other way around

um ackshully, it's about bad grammar which indicates the writer has low reading comprehension and isn't worth talking to

>>713357005
Grammar isn't reading comprehension, idiot, those are two different things, grammer is sentence structure and word usage which isn't even the same as a typo, which is a spelling mistake usually made on accident
If you're gonna act smart, actually know what you're talking about first

Im really getting tired of these "muh esl" bullshit

>>713357108
proofs?

>>713357108
you seem to be acting smart yourself, kiddo

>>713357150
imo its one of the few artificial memes popularized by newfags who wanna blame everyone but themselves on the current state of the board

they know it sucks now but the reason it sucks is cause of all the underage tourists who came here from social media and normalfagged the place
so they overstate the influence of all the other boogeymen, shills, 'jeets, industry advertisers, whatever, to say "n-no, me and my gaggle of 15 year olds who came here from tiktok aren't the problem, it's something else, look thataway, don't blame me!"

2025 "/v/ culture" is an entirely artificial culture made up by newfags who learned from other newfags and are now pretending this is all true and honest organic stuff because they don't wanna back down

>>713356620
I cant believe I found someone with a sane and normal take on this matter.

sure is be lot of the ESL retard in here you know if what i'm saying felow englishers

>>713357379
these people didnt even called it "pajeet" anymore. Just "jeet". Whats next ? Jee ? J' ? Jay ? Jay-Z ?

>>713356079 (OP)
ESL is something to be proud of, imagine having English as your first language

>>713357150
have you tried not being an obvious brown ESL to the point where you get repeatedly called out?

>>713357479
Bro don't get me started on that, y'know how annoying it is to walk into a thread and it's all just the same repetitive "SAAR REDEEM SAAR REDEEM HELLO GOOD MORNING SAAR REDEEM SAR REDEEM" on loop?
I wish e-kiddies understood that talking like a moron doesn't become any less obnoxious because you have your fingers crossed and are doing it "ironically" you're still unpleasant, idc how many layers of irony you're behind, I don't wanna have to read that shit

>>713357479
Pajeet is just a name. Jeet sounds more derogatory.

>>713357606
*redeems the google play store card*

>>713357632
See what I mean?

It's like talking to a middleschooler who doesn't know when to cut a joke short

>>713356620
If you talk like a retard I'm going to treat you like one.
My favorite is when another esl pops in and "corrects" another esl's grammer.

>>713357678
not to make a /co/ reference but it reminds me of that one spongebob ep

>>713356620
I never see ESL used anywhere outside of this shithole, my guess is that's a term only used in actual english-learning communities and one of those fags brought it over here

>>713357678
Same here man. Maybe im just too old for this website. Im pushing 40 already and its obvious im talking to someone who half, or even quarter my age

I got like 5 or 6 "esl" "you're brown" etc replies the other day because I had a single typo where two letters were swapped. I feel like it's bots at this point.

>>713357869
> I feel like it's bots at this point.
That's the sad part, it's not
We all wanna cope by convincing ourselves it has to be some script or someone paid to do this but truth is it's not, 99.9% of the time when you see some retarded post here, it's just some moron, likely under the age of 18, being an idiot and doing it for free

>>713357678
why are you mad

Where did people go besides this hellhole ? I dont want find friends in real life :(

>>713357625
Pajeet is derogatory because it's not actually a name. It's like calling a white person Marlf Wiffmag.

Anal, Arshdeep and Dikshit, on the other hand, are real indian names.

>>713357005
Actually you failed to capitalise the starting word of your sentence and furthermore failed to end your sentence with a full stop. Therefore you will be dismissed immediately and I will declare victory and superiority over you.

the rational discussion in the rare offtopic thread like this we have proves we're still here, just overshadowed by tourists

i just wish more people could speak up and call them the fags they are instead of falling for that older person "ooh i'm not the current gen anymore i better die and get out of the way" syndrome people have where they're too scared to speak up lest they be deemed uncool
that's how cancer spreads

the reason newfags think they belong is because they all joined at the same time as other newfags and formed a fake culture, like if a buncha immigrants all came to the US at once, a few of them started talking LIKE A DIS-A PARTNER, EH, YOU WANTA SUM A THAT A COWBOY PEPPERONI ME MUCHO NEGGORINO, VERY MUCH YES? for some reason, and all the others looked on and thought "oh fuck he must be a local, let's all talk like that too so nobody makes fun of us" and within 10 years everyone thinks that's actually how people there talk because of one generation of assholes fresh off the boat who didn't communicate outside of their little bubble
worst of all? when they did see a local, and he spoke like a normal guy, they probably called him a tourist

that's what happened on here

Been searching for a long time for another place, but all the places i have been to have their own issues
1. Too much politics barely any gaming discussions
2. There is gaming discussion but gender identity politics will arise from time to time and ruin everything
3. Enormous hate for Japanese games, especially with anime aesthetic
4. No interest in Japanese games except mainstream ones
5. Little to no traffic

>>713357005
I often edit my posts, and sometimes I edit it one place but forget to edit it in another place, which makes it look like I am painfully ESL.

bump

Do you remember the leaks? they said that paid agents were storming this place, flooding it with porn and demoralizing threads

>being a brown jeet that can barely speak english is the same thing as enjoying non-english games
lmao ESL cope

>>713359417
6. Even more aggressive jannies that will ban you over the slightest perceived "aggression"
that one tends to be really common too

>>713356620
I've been reading a blog from an american full of grammar errors. That's what made me realize that you only care if people are ESLs if you are one yourself. Kinda like being brown/black/not white.

>>713356620
You are brown chicano

ESL

>>713356620
My favorite is when anon calls you brown as if I wasn't aware what a strawman argument was.

"brown" or "indian" are just the modern "tranny"
some people argue that yesteryear's "tranny" was the modern "fag" by extension, but i'd argue that's not the case
the difference is that before 2016 people who called you a fag did it as a generalized insult, they knew you may not actually be a literal flaming homosexual, 'fag' was just a catchall term
however after 2016 a lot of people who didn't understand the culture and had personal culture war hangups came along, and began using such insults literally
the 2016 tourist who calls you a "tranny" isn't doing it in jest, or as a generic insult, he honest to god thinks you are sat in a skirt injecting estrogen
likewise the 2020 tourist calling you brown, and the 2024 tourist calling you a pajeet, aren't just using those terms as insults either, they are actually imagining you sat there with brown skin wearing a sombrero or squatting in the street with a laptop as you take a dump in the road
none of this is a goof anymore is a generic term, they earnestly believe you are the thing they accuse you of being

>>713356079 (OP)
But I play those games in english, because I'm not a retard.

>Blog
Man...

The old web didn't used to be this obsessed with this stuff, people understood all sorts of individuals exist
Now more and more people try and build a whole headcanon of you based on the hints you give em to save their ego because they need to emulate what they think you look like or what side or type of person you are to make the argument easier on their brain

>>713362201
You are brown.

>>713362334
Also, just to be specific, it wasn't an old one. It started on 2021 and receives sporadic updates.

>>713362201
Yeah, I remember back in 2006, fag was just an insult like motherfucker, hell it's the same thing too. Motherfucker doesn't literally mean you're fucking mothers.

>>713356079 (OP)
Doesn't ESL mean you're smart enough to learn 2 languages...? Most yanks can't speak 1 correctly

>>713362743
Being bilingual isn't an intelligence measurement because English is taught alongside their native language in most schools. Being trilingual or quad is the real measure.

>>713362563
>>713362201
Every modern tourist these days takes everything 100% in earnest
It may also be why they don't know what bait is, they all think they're the only individual on the planet that learned to shitpost, they make their obvious falseflag threads and think everyone else is being honest and sincere while only they joke, and everyone else thinks the same about themselves
It's also why insults like that don't work anymore, call someone spamming, say, AI, a 'jeet, and they don't comprehend that "oh he's insulting me, saying I'm *comparable to* an Indian", they think "he said I'm an Indian, but I'm not? So... He's not talking about me, I can continue shitting up the place, right? It's not me he's angry at, it's some invisible Indian somewhere..." they literally have evolved to be too stupid for insults yet they're also the ones who believe what they say applies to everyone else

Yeah how could i forget the fragile jannies, maybe because now i lurk for a period of time to observe how things are before i engage in discussions (and i usually leave) so i don't even get the chance to get banned
A long time ago in certain website i didn't lurk enough, and i went ahead and posted in a simple thread of "what are you playing", all it took it was one fucking dumbass to stir up shit and the rest of the anime haters arrived and bullied me out of the site
