I haven't decided whether the word "bants" - a shortened form of banter, is the worst thing ever or the best thing ever.
Never heard someone use it. The first person I do hear use it gets a slap.
It's a gaming community. On the internet. The anime overlap is huge. It's going to spill into this thread from time to time and that's
perfectly fine. It will never be the focal point of this thread, but we have a really nice "talk about whatever so long as every tenth post is about the UK" vibe going here and I'd like to keep it.
As for the "superior" thread for learning Japanese - "superior" describes the thread itself, as in "this thread is the superior thread for the purposes of learning Japanese",
not "if you read the manga in Japanese and write a fan-letter to the manga-ka using proper kanji you are superior".
Your almost violent reaction about us having a joke about hentai, as spawned by a discussion on a British restaurant chain and Meadow's non-white girlfriend, just seem really insecure or something I dunno.
