So what kind of South Asian are you exactly? I need to know so I can share the appropriate footage of some poor woman getting fucking lynched for being the wrong religion or whatever.

Seriously, imagine coming from a place where WhatsApp is nearly as lethal as the train system and lecturing others on rules-based society.

Everyone else is circle jerking about the censorship, meanwhile, I’m wondering how murder, rape, suicide, sex, and lesbians all came up in a bumble chat.

 

For the record, this was back in April 2022, around when the Russians were retreating from Kyiv.

4chan may be an anime website but not everything there derives from anime. In this case, kino- has been an prefix referring to movies since before 4chan, and probably anime, even existed.

Yeah, it basically means “thing that is novel/bold/stylish enough to not look out of place in an art film”.

“Kino”, from the Greek “kine”(to move), is Internet slang for a motion picture. In particular, it is used to denote works with special artistic merit. The word is also used to describe events and art bearing a cinematic quality either in concept or execution.

No one is astroturfing /g/. You’re just falling for bait, people just like talking about people they watch. Unless you think it’s Azulas PR managers making her daily /co/ threads too, your default assumption should be its just someone looking to discuss a personality they enjoy.

Now realize that this describes 99% of angry people on the internet, and you will be one step closer to enlightenment my son.

Yeah, pretty much. There’s a reason it’s called the Internet Hate Machine.

Why wouldn’t they be? Anons story implies that he’s less attractive than Tom Scott, who’s not exactly a pillar of traditional masculinity. Also it’s 4chan, what do you expect? /tv/ isnt as bad as /pol/ or /b/, but it’s still up there as one of the worst boards on the site.

According to my gay British friend, at least, Tom’s accent is super flamboyant by their standards.

I mean, why wouldn’t you? Why would an anonymous person on the internet lie for no reason?

[spoiler] Yes, it’s obviously fake. Also, I’m pretty sure Tom is gay, isn’t he? [/spoiler]
