Is anyone watching Crazyfox's Umineko videos? That guy is the worst goat I've ever seen, holy shit. He SKIPS the text super fast without even reading all of it, let alone understanding it. And he often rants about something stupid for minutes while barely skimming the text, instead of stopping it while he speaks. No wonder he doesn't understand half the shit that's going on in the story.

This is the same guy that spent the entire finale of Minagoroshi groaning, complaining, saying "this shit goes on forever!" and CTRLing through the text because he hated what Takano did to the protagonists and didn't see the point of watching her gas the village. Just... wow.

I mean, I'm glad he's enjoying Umineko. But god damn, he's fucking autistic and not in a good way.

R07 must hate christians or something.
>big bad of Higurashi was inspired by her grandfather's stories about the bible, the tower of Babel and how Jesus lives forever in people's hearts
>big bad in Umineko was taught Christian beliefs in the orphanage and killed everyone hoping for an afterlife
>big bad in Rose Gun Days frequently uses christian terms like Satan, God and Angels

I'd watch WTC related stuff on Youtube, but I don't want it recommending me infuriating crap like anime adaptation videos (full of cancerous comments), "goriest anime scenes" videos, reviews of the Higurashi anime, and shit like that.

They are mostly idiots, but there's always someone that could have liked the original VNs but ended up watching the anime instead, thought it was pretty decent and completely forgot about the series afterwards. I hate to see something I love being misrepresented and losing potential fans.

It's the same with a lot of great books. How many people have actually read The Neverending Story? It's a fantastic novel, meta as fuck. But everybody is more familiar with the shitty movie. When you recommend someone the book, they are always like "well, I'm not really interested in it, I'll read it eventually I guess..." or "I watched the movie and didn't think much of it". They can't even imagine how good it is, but they think they already know what it's like because they watched some bastardization of it.

Same with Frankenstein, Peter Pan, Dr. Jeyll and Mr. Hyde... Frankenstein's monster has turned into a braindead creature incapable of speech, Peter Pan has been disneyfied, while the original character was an eternal immature asshole with an extremely limited short-term memory and no long-term memory. Mr. Hyde is seen as some kind of second personality that takes over the doctor's body, while the original concept was great, he was more like a mask that allowed him to do whatever he wanted without consequences.

They have all been completely misrepresented and eclipsed by their adaptations, turned into uninteresting and trivial stories that people don't give a shit about. They actively discurage people from reading the source material, even though it's completely fascinating.

If only he had made the right decision here....
