>>26448635The difference between shitposting and what I'm now calling "canonposting" is he's posting without consciously deciding to lower the quality of the board as a whole. He simply contributes what facts he decides might be relevant and people like you lose their shit over it for no reason. How is that derailing? The autist who brought up Glaceon is the only person in this thread who's done anything of the sort.
The fact is he's hilarious, a beacon of light and good intentions that shines in whatever thread he enters. Nothing "goes to crap" unless the people who obsess over him try to argue against what he perceives as canon, which would make them the derailers, not Richard. Do you really think one guy going "That hasn't been confirmed yet" makes "everything go to crap" or somehow lowers the quality of /vp/ as a whole? If you're really that buttflustered about what he does, I don't know what to tell you.
