>>18432212No but look at it this way, the autistic manchildren ruin the image of the franchise.
For example, if some random person was like "Oh hey bro, what're you playing?" and you go "Oh hey dude, and just Pokemon Y, fucking love it bruh" and the other person thinks of all the shit he hears about furfags, autists with "waifus", jacking off to a fucking gooey dragon and ponies, his reaction will be: "Uhh...alright take care man..."
It's just the retarded side of the Pokemon fanbase that ruins the image for no good reason. I think it's pretty sad, man
I grew up with Pokemon, I enjoy playing it when I have time from uni, got my bros, some of my friends play it, busy social life. So for people like myself, I find it pretty sad that the fanbase image gets tarnished like that, you know?
>>18432235You are definitely normal and have Lucario as a proper bro--something that would be often looked over and you would be labeled a "furfag" because of the reputation it gets
>>18432254Dude, I know this might sound crazy, but normal people with social skills have different hobbies and past-times, and some of them like playing the game/franchise they grew up with.
