Dark is a Pokémon type of the worst kind. It has bad moves, a clusterfuck of weaknesses and Pokémon that aren't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the type itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The edgy Pokémon all trying their hardest to look cool, the sadistic, gray, red colors, the whole evil faggotry and everything about the Dark-type fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party Pokémon stats, movepools, and overall designs of the Pokémon make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.
Dark is basically THE type to attract the most hated type fanbase known to /vp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this type and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Honchkrow threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.
