Same, which is why I'm still here, but I still verify when I want.

A bunch of people saying wow this is repulsive + that description is pretty self-evident imo

if a dozen people tell you "that bag is full of poo poo and it stinks, don't open it" and the bag itself has THIS IS A BAG OF poo poo printed on it, would you still need to open it and take a big whiff before you figured out it was full of poo poo?

But that's the problem, that isn't what happened. a handful of people here said it's a bag of poo poo, but this time there were few other voices confirming it, and other voices saying it was just a bag, and nobody actually claiming it was poo poo actually approached the bag when the others have. As it turns out, my view is that it is a shitbag, but there is less poo poo in there than y'all think.

Opening that bag of poo poo is human nature and I dont doubt for an instant that 50% of the people on this forum would put thier head inside and take a check.

It's still probably poo poo, though. And if I learned anything from Oda Nobunaga, poo poo can be deadly. :colbert:

I don't really have any issue passing judgement on a piece of media based on summaries/artwork/opinions of people I trust without having to watch it though, and I know a lot of folks are the complete opposite. It's usually less "this is a stinker" and more "this is probably not a thing I'm gonna like" but some things are clearly bad in ways that are evident with only the most passing scrutiny so I don't see why I should waste time confirming what I already am like 99% sure of.

The times that I've tried to give things the benefit of the doubt and watched or read them generally have reinforced my initial judgement, although a few notable ones have surprised me by being bad in different and worse ways than I expected lol

I think things have sometimes shifted from:

Ideally you should forgive your attacker

to

There is something wrong with you if you DON’T

Which is very unfortunate because it is more piling on to the victims :(

i cant really blame someone for being curious about backstreet girls and checking it out, but also, lol

i mean i think Backstreet Girls is awful from a premise standpoint but you could find people in a bunch of places condemning Magical Girl Ore based on its premise too, which didn't carry through to the show being bad

so i can understand people giving stuff a shot despite misgivings or murmurs based on supposition

I am 6 feet even and nobody hits on me but that would also be inappropriate given that pretty much the only time I'm around other people is at work.

Furuichi misnomers aside, this Chio-chan adaptation sounds like it'd get old fast if it's a full length episode. Can any manga readers lay it into me that I'm wrong and a fool for thinking such things?

Its really just a run of the mill gag story, Chio and her friend are assholes to each other while they walk to school and thats really it. It probably will get boring.

Chio-chan will be hilarious, and the best comedy of the season, and it will have no production issues, and everyone has my permission to mock me if these statements end up being false.
