Re: tl;dr

*nods* I apologize for that. I thought from your icon that you were a /b/ person, and most people who are from there don't like actually engaging people, just yelling and trolling and running, and whose favorite out to discussion is that "it's tl;dr so fuck you."

Agreed. However, I see the problem not as that some people further the stereotype, but that in our attempts to make sure that we aren't seen as furthering the stereotype, we make it much harder from people to go to the stereotype to not (e.g. "why bother if they're going to hate me for who I used to be anyway?") AND we make it a lot easier for all of us to be hated, especially if we're trying to keep up appearances for people who are convinced that even trying not to be a weeaboo makes us a weeaboo.

Oh, haha yeah, when I made that icon I was thinking, "Wow, Nodame looks like she's reading something stupid (in context she was trying to study German), what do I think is stupid? Oh /b/, perfect." :D

"why bother if they're going to hate me for who I used to be anyway?" Well who knows if that is what some people are thinking, but they are better off not having friends who think changing oneself for the better is a bad thing. I mean, sure it might be a topic that will get them made fun of for quite some time, but it's something done in jest that could more often than not simply be stopped if the person in question tells their friends how much it upsets them. But then communicating is something us humans pretty much suck at.
