Um, no. The person is at fault if they disagree with a lifestyle, but also project their negative feelings onto that group of people. You can think whatever you want, but to be judgemental towards others and not even try to understand is just rude. It's not about what you think is the correct way to live your life, it's about respecting everyone that lives their life the way they want. Including enjoying what they are interested in and whatnot. If you go out of your way to belittle a certain group, whether it has to do with religion, sexuality, looks, hobbies or whatever, that is rude. That was my point. OP got it, I hope you will too.

Thanks for this post, you captured a large portion of it pretty well =), thanks!

This is some deep shit man. Also, hope he makes it back. I enjoyed his contribution from time to time, even the hilariously Chris Hansen worthy posts.

It would be rather nice to have Holy back, agreed.

So this HolyBaikal guy is supposed to be our lord and savior, and died for our sins, and will resurrect today???

This is the best easter ever!!! Thanks Gaf!!
 
I dont find this true at all. Sorry.
Even living in the same dorm the P3 characters always felt like complete strangers bound to a mission.
Never seen the grandeour thing of investigation you are talking about in P4, and I compare it everytime to Scooby Doo, the investigation just was a thing to keep them as a group of friends doing something and discovering more on themselves.

I never found the guys in Scooby Doo to be particularly good friends so I don't quite get the angle.

They glorified the investigation they felt special because of it and I'm pretty certain they wouldn't have become friends w/o it.

Calling a female character a waifu just means that she's your favorite female character. It means that for me at least.

This is how I interpret it but I don't actually use it so I won't be associated with *sweating* uh certain behaviors totally unrelated to this thread

I always thought HB was an in-character troll.

Last post I remember was he....or she was wanting to live in a VR world instead of the real world, because people are too mean.

OP You sound like you need some help. How old are you btw?

What might seem like something meaningless to you could mean a lot to someone else. If your post, or anyone else's post in this thread similar to this one was made as a joke it's doesn't come off as one.

One year ago I watched people, kids and adults alike rip their eyes out crying in disbelief as "Die Mannschaft" humiliated Brazil in Belo Horizonte. It was a soccer match, and it clearly meant a lot to the audience watching. Does that mean that they should seek help for something they feel emotionally attached to? No. The same goes for this topic. I really hope OP got something good out of this thread, and judging by his replies it seems like he did, and I feel happy because of that. This was not meant to be an attack on you Vamp, I just used your post as an example to what some people have posted.

/rant over.

So this thread is confusing. Is OP obsessed with this Holy dude... Or what?
Pretty much, and they're in a state of denial over the fact that Holy was a troll account. I don't know whether I find it pathetic, or sad. Either way, it's been a fun read. :D

Lol and he didn't even say what game it was. Did a long ass rant out of the blue.

So, I actually read all of what the OP posted. Congrats on your self discovery.
I won't comment on the Holy Baikal stuff, or the LTTP on Persona 3 stuff, but I will answer a few questions you posted.
Don't limit yourself to the Atelier Iris games. In my personal opinion, the Arland Trilogy on PS3 is fantastic and all three games have that moe moe kyun you're looking for. The latter two have plenty of waifu material (I wasn't too fond of Meruru, but that's just me).
As for Persona, you'd be crazy to not play P4. I would even recommend just playing vanilla P4 on your PS2 if shelling out some straight cash homie on a Vita(TV) is too much of an expense for you.
Again, cheers and thanks for a good read.
P.S.: The Ar Tonelio games are pretty dope.

I was convinced when s/he said that whenever s/he tried to watch porn s/he'd feel sick and cry or w/e because all porn is rape porn and not happy enough or something like that.

Yea same here. Although I don't regularly use that word, well unless I'm playing FE Awakening and im married to my girl Sullykins. But ill admit there is usually a female character that i gravitate towards in a game because i think their cool, interesting, etc.

Edit: oh yea. More power to you op.

Thanks a ton for reading through the posts. I will not limit myself to the Atelier Iris games, but I will start with them first and then move towards the PS3 series. I will also most definitely play Persona 4, you're absolutely right in that I would be crazy not too. Thanks for taking the time to post and comment.

Ar tonelico is pretty fun too.





So.... I've been reading the thread to pick up any games/VN's and anime that were recommended to me. Put a tear on my face reading it all. I'm so glad I posted what I did, the reception on NeoGAF was and is pretty amazing and nice. Thank you all who posted, thank you all who read my long posts, just thank you. I never in my life would have imagined it would go this smoothly.

And I wonder why some people on this site find it hard to integrate themselves into community threads.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
This is totally wrong. We are the one who respect, honor, and recognize women the most.

Women are not commodities to be fought over. We help them to get the care, love, and attention they deserve. This is not off putting or weird.

Animated women or not, some of them are the most amazing, sweet, caring, loving, and adorable people in the world. They made our life that much more meaningful and completed. Without them we have no reason to live in this cold and selfish planet. So what's wrong that we do a little to glorify our women who saved us?
Oh my lord. Dude, they're idealized nearly flawless and borderline creepy portrayals of the opposite gender envisioned by men. There are plenty of reasons to live in this world. Namely, actual interaction with the opposite and same gender, specifically your peers. Who are likely infinitely more interesting than what a middle aged man thinks that a teenager acts like. Who also can't talk back.

Just saying if we are all a bit more respectful or thoughtful or understanding our world would be a much better place. Waifu or not they are our guide and inspiration so we appreciate them, that's all.
Oh hey, at it again. Keep the dream alive, Holy Xianghua.

Some of them already were, the investigation just made them closer.
About scooby doo, the old series was like that. They felt like P3 characters, they had little interaction between them, but thats because the series was build around the investigation and jokes, not the slice of life parts. While Mystery Inc (the 2 seasons story arc scooby doo series of just a few years ago) had a lot of slice of life parts to it and it felt more like Persona 4 (in fact it has the same final message of of frindship).

In fact you are the first person i read with the opinion that P3 characters are more friends between them than P4.

I always thought HB was an in-character troll.

Last post I remember was he....or she was wanting to live in a VR world instead of the real world, because people are too mean.
His posts were all about him not being able to handle reality and professing his love for the magical cute fantasy anime land that he thought life should be. And GOD FORBID you disagreed with him, or tried to tell him that real life had value too, or that he should come out of his bubble, because he would spend like three pages crying about life and how nobody should hate his idea of a rainbow unicorn utopia. He played the cute sensitive card (and he may have actually been sensitive, but still) but he would not ever back down from an argument, and he'd be really in your face about it, too.

Weird stuff he said that I remember, some of which other members in this thread have reminded me of:

-Life is too hard, we should all live in VR.
-He wanted anime eyes.
-Wanted to be transgender (which is fine) but would always bring it up at inappropriate times.
-Everything should be cute.
-Iris from Pokemon Black/White was basically Jesus.
-He would frequently derail threads and make them about his own thing. Example:

GAFfer: "Hey guys did you see the trailer for Street Fighter V!? Awesome, right?"

HolyBaikal: "No. I wish there were more strong sensitive female characters. More games need characters like this. I like characters like this. Chun-li is a strong character, but don't you think she is kind of cartoony? I want more realistic women. But they should be cute too. I wish I was like that. The world would be better if everyone was cute and sensitive. This trailer would be good if it had people like that."

There's plenty more stuff, but it's not his weirdness that people took issue with as much as it was his attitude.

You wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a 3D yandere though. It's dangerous enough to have a 2D yandere waifu.

Thanks for reading and posting a comment, means a lot to me. This probably would have been a great drunk thread, no lies, but alas, it was serious. The post about not all anime characters being waifus or anime girls one may love has cross my mind before, but on the internet it's so hard to know what's what. It may be wrong, but I seemed to have clumped all uses like that together in a waifu pile, it's wrong of me I know, and I'll take the comment into consideration, thanks again!
Oh no! Arcadius I prefer this thread to be serious, because you are touching a very delicate matter even if there is plenty who are making fun of it. I didn't have the opportunity to talk with HB much, but I'd like to think that if she reads your post she'll be very happy.

I know it's difficult to know and I don't have any problems with it... it's just that everyone tells you how wrong is to generalize a group of people and nobody seems to cares about us :/
