> But what is the point of posting anime?
You think there's value in a gamer word, but you don't think there's anything valuable in video games or anime?
I can guarantee that if you think there is any reason to care about gamer words, the reasons apply to anime: https://fba.ryona.agency/?reason=anime

:srsly: The short answer is that it is something they want to take away.
While the boomers were trying to spoon-feed Neolib slop to all of the millennials, a significant minority grew up with shit that was barely competently translated, let alone scrubbed for wrongthink.
I'm going to quote myself ( https://fsebugoutzone.org/notice/AidG8N1Xu28liZCDyq ): "Considering the boomer-driven mass-sterilization of media in the US and imported media--largely Japanese--flying under the radar, I wonder if there is an actual reason for the opposing sensibilities between the anime-avatar gamers dropping N-bombs on the internet and the Disney/Nickelodeon hugbox people arguing about which words are more harmful. Like, they've got this disdain for the evil gamers, it seems like a joke, these neurotic adult babies are afraid of 'gamers', but maybe the correlation is not so ridiculous if you consider that the sensibilities would be really different between people that grew up on baizuo-generated, heavily sanitized cartoons about the importance of self-esteem, and people that grew up with these games where you don't see the ending unless you get good and even then, sometimes the ending [we were discussing Seiken Densetsu] is 'The world is doomed anyway but you at least fulfilled your duty.'"
I think, completely unironically, that there is a fundamental cultural split and that video games have been a wedge for a long time. The games being Japanese, the aesthetics are close to anime anyway, but anime was also not subject to the "self-esteem" disease.
In the US, during colonial era when it was not the US, there were harsh penalties applied to colonists that left the colony and went to live with the natives. There had to be: for most of the initial period, colonial life was harsh and the natives had food and shelter and a functional economy. Importantly, what they produced was theirs, nothing owed to a king on the other side of an ocean. So it's not an accident that the Boston Tea Party participants dressed up in leather loincloths and facepaint: that was a message. And you could ask them, "What's so important about dressing up like an injun?" and what was important was that it sent a message.
> Anyway, what does it mean, what is the point of posting it, in your opinion?
Skateboarding is not a crime.
