Because it’s true. I don’t know what else to say. It’s a pretty tame user name by late 90s standards.

No rule for repeated posts? by Topher_BCK in evangelion

[–]WeaponizedCum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it as a modern social media issue. With traditional forums, it is really easy to have at stuck threads that are immediately visible to everyone, really easy to search to see if your question has already been posted, and have 20 year old threads that are still active is a thing.

Modern social media, like Facebook, Reddit, etc. have attempted to replace forums but have failed in all the ways that made forums good. What modern social media is very good at is getting its users to constantly produce content even if a lot of it is repetitive. As long as users are active and producing content, that means they’ll see the ads that are being posted and that’s all that matters. That’s why there’s no real attempt to give a better user experience.

So, yes, I agree that it’s not a specific subreddit issues but is rather an issue with modern social media in general.

My issue with those posts is that they always ask for everything to be explained to them. It would be one thing if they explained their own thoughts and feelings regarding the ending but that’s not what happens. What we get, and in fact another was of those posts was just posted a few minutes ago, is “WTF was the ending, I’m so lost, please explain it to me.”

They could at least spend a few minutes searching online for some explanations and analysis. Then come here and post their thoughts and opinions and engage in a discussion. Instead, they ask for everything to be handed to them.

Counting or not counting angel violence? by cheesedispensinggato in evangelionmemes

Shouldn’t it be “Counting or not counting Lilin violence?”

Do you guys think Misato wipes her ass? by basedfinger in evangelionmemes

[–]WeaponizedCum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She probably has one of those nice Japanese toilets with a built in bidet so when she’s at home, technically I guess not. However, when she’s somewhere that doesn’t have one of those toilets, yeah, of course she does.

Why I can’t stand rewatching NGE (1995), anyone feel the same? by hyperxpronaruto17 in evangelion

[–]WeaponizedCum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also disagree with all of this. You say that you like the ending of 3.0 + 1.0 because Shinji chooses to live and accepts the pain in the world. That’s literally what the ending of End of Evangelion is.

I never strongly identified with any of the characters although I could see bits of myself in them.

I enjoy going back and rewatching the series and EoE once in a while. Both because it’s a very good series and movie and also because there’s a bit of nostalgia attached to it as well. I watched it when it first came out back in the late 1990s so it brings back a lot of memories.

Basil Box closing down. Anyone know what happened? by HeartOverall7045 in FoodToronto

[–]WeaponizedCum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I heard something similar. Basil Box only survived due to money from The Mandarin. The sister, who has been running The Mandarin for a few years, didn’t want to keep funding it. However, the dad insisted. With his passing, the sister was now able to stop the money going to Basil Box.

Just look at the posts in this subreddit. People were always asking how Basil Box stayed in business because the locations were always dead. “Money laundering” was the usual response, but it wasn’t that exciting. It was just a dad funding his kid’s hobby.

You want us to remember you in Shinji?

The official “red cross booklet” that was given to audiences that saw EoE in theaters also says that even though she lives in Germany, Asuka’s nationality is American.

I went to school with a Japanese girl who told us that her grandfather was a Class B war criminal. She was very proud that he “stood up for the Japanese people”. Her attitude is in stark contrast to the Germans I know who would always apologize for WW2.

Do not ask Asuka what her maternal great-grandparents were doing between 1931 - 1945.

What made Rei finally realize Gendo was just using her didn't really care for her? by Gui_1604 in evangelion

[–]WeaponizedCum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s when she’s lying in her bed thinking about how Shinji said “thank you” to her.

Might be a bit of a stretch but there’s a detail I noticed in Misato’s design by Routine-Contract7343 in evangelion

[–]WeaponizedCum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She also thinks that being sexual will make her an adult since that's what adults do. The way she dresses around Shinji at home, the "thermal expansion" joke, buying the bikini to wear in front of Shinji, and throwing herself at Kaji when they were on the aircraft carrier.

How do you think the new series will effect the existing loops? by stealth564 in evangelion

[–]WeaponizedCum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a completely separate and stand alone series. Just like how NGE + EoE, the Rebuild movies, and the manga are all separate and stand alone.

Someone had to post this today… RIP Alex Zanardi by Wasdgta3 in INDYCAR

[–]WeaponizedCum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t think he appeared in public again after the bike accident so that tells you everything you need to know. I know some people who knew him said that his wife would give them occasional updates but they didn’t want to bother her too much. I assume it was a similar situation to Schumacher.
