Maybe it's because we dropped the first two.

My gread-grandfather died in the radiation afterwards, when he went to help the survivors. I never got to meet him because of that, and his selfless nature was completely ignored in his death. So many good people were indiscriinately kileld on that day that I don't really see how you can bring yourself to say things like that.

The Western love affair with Japanese culture - especially anime - pretty much started with Pokemon and Dragonball Z...

Holocaust denial? Wasn't that a bit out of left field? I think you need a nice cup of tea there kid and enjoy the summer air for a while.

I couldn’t help remembering what Nisan told me, Nemutan held tightly in his left arm, as we walked out of the restaurant to the parking lot. “Of course I want to get married,” he said as we drove back to West Hachioji station listening to his favorite Eurobeat CD. “But look at me. How can someone who carries this around get married? People are probably wondering what psychiatric ward I escaped from. I would think the same thing if I saw me.” He widened his eyes in self-ridicule, then, the next moment, his expression became somber. “I’m pretty conflicted inside. People say there are some otaku who don’t want to get married, but that’s not true. Some have so little confidence that they’ve just given up, but deep inside their souls, they want it just as much as anybody else.”
Well at first I also thought it was an epic fail but the above paragraph....I mean you have to sympathize with his plight. He did have a gf before, so we know that there are otaku who are very much capable of having and maintaining REAL 3-D RELATIONSHIPS......Well I don't know if it's because I'm an INFP (if u don't know go to humanmetrics.com and take the jung typology test....)who are very kind-hearted and can empathize with just about anybody but if you can't, your a cold person straight up.

As a joke.
A little different from picking up on an innocuous comment and breaking out the snark.

Surely you can see the difference between "You are wrong; Western infatutation with Japanese culture started way earlier than that" and "Wow. Not only are you wrong, you're wrong by decades. That's impressive".Grave_n_idle wrote:On the other hand, your 'joke' about killing millions of people was ever so tactful.
Although it at least had the advantage of not being unnecessarily malicious.
