Dear /jp/,

This morning I took my imouto to the Anime Expo. Within a half hour, the weaboos had put me in a really shitty mood so I went looking for the Touhou booth, thinking that only /jp/edos and Japanese people knew what Touhou was. As soon as I walked into the booth, I heard one guy say "over 9000" and another say "epic fail."

I was devastated. How do newfags know about Touhou? Is nothing sacred?

Welcome to the new age of publicly spoken vocal 4chan memes. Get used to it, it's been like this since 2007.

Within Touhou specifically, it's been like this a couple of years

Blame pooshlmer, shrinemaiden, and very specifically that faggot that keeps holding Touhou panels.
People say that it's just elitism or the "secret club" mentality. Then those very same people complain when this shit happens and dumbfucks, fat yaoi fangirls and meme-obsessed 14 year olds flood their fandom when they open their mouths about it.

True fans avoid the fandom as much as possible.

You claim not to be a weeaboo, yet use "imouto" as if it was an english word.

You went to Anime Expo expecting to not be irritated by weeaboos.

Makes sense, when people see that you have fun with something they want to have fun too and then they create their little clubs.

Thanks for proving my point flawlessly.

Naruto is now an untouchable subject. Nobody watches/reads it and nobody wants to talk about it BECAUSE of the fandom. Hell, even the subject matter itself has become more or less a DBZ clone.

This was my first trip to an Anime Convention whatsoever, and I only went because my only bud keeps bugging me to.

I keep refusing initially, thinking that it will be a fucking cesspool of morons as well as the general attitude that 4chan has with cons in general, but then I gave in when he mentioned the tons of shit I could buy there.

Yeah, turned out I actually had a blast. I fucking love walking down the street towards the hotel and back to the con, seeing those crowds of cosplaying faggots, and faggots in general, trotting out like its nobody's business in somehow makes me smile.

Oh, and I just realized that I really fucking love taking pictures of cosplayers. Dunno why, but it felt like I was playing Pokemon Snap.

I'm definitely going next year.

Using forms of expression common to a group you associate yourself with is not "group think". Neither is it acctually "newspeak" though that term would be closer.

Don't feel bad because the people you don't like like what you like. Feel bad because you weren't capable of making the connection that they might know all about it, considering it's popular and accepted on a neighboring board on the same website they fester in.
