>>31305108Out of context and missing the point. Some poster in the thread was using anecdotal examples of the Japanese equivalent of Yahoo Answers and Pokesen/2ch to gauge the popularity of a character in Japan like a retard. I frequent /tg/ and have no problems with 4chan personally, but I'm not going to fucking lie and act like it's a paradise with awesome opinions. Objectively anonymous boards are shitstains where people can shitpost as much as they want without fear (tbf though, Bulbagarden is a shitstain even without that)., I was just telling them they were full of shit, it's like using /vp/ to "prove" that Amourshitposters and "Genwunner"-using contrarians make up the majority of what's popular for the American fanbase.
And then thread got closed because JacobYBM called out Hidden Mew on getting triggered hardcore because of cute Kasumi pics. "m-muh offensive 2D animu pictures"
I do like Kasumi/Misty and yes, I am a light shipperfag and ship her with Satoshi/Red (and Red/BlueFemale, and PalletShipping because I think it's hilarious), but I also like Haruka/May and every other Pokegirl and am a Meifag so...

Mind you, I was like 12-14 or some shit back then, and a year or two later dropped Serebii/Pokemon communities in general for a period of time.
