Wiki:
The letter 囧 (U+56E7), which means 'bright'[19], is also used in Chinese and Taiwanese community for frowning face.[20] It is also combined with posture emoticon Orz, such as 囧rz. The letter existed in Oracle bone script, but its use as emoticon was documented as early as 2005-01-20.[21]

Other ideographic variant for 囧 include 崮 (king 囧), 莔 (queen 囧), 商 (囧 with hat), 囧興 (turtle), 卣 (Bomberman).

I fucking HATE emoticons, and the shitfuckers who use them.

If you're a kid, fine, but watch out son, you're gonna have to learn to express yourself beyond 'XD :D =X :3 >.< -_-'.

Next thing this ass-sniffer is fucking 30, and still spamming this shit in every sentence he types; nothing screams manchild more than that.

When a baby/child needs attention, it cries because that's all it's able to do, but for fuck's sake, how can anyone who isn't underaged B& (unless nigger) not have sufficient intelligence or eloquence to articulate how he feels with proper words?

And guess what? It was birthed from retarded fuckers on a keyboard, so it is hilarious how technology is turning on humanity, because this is quite simply the cancer that is killing us.

That's his main site, but sometimes he posts drawings on his blog that he never uses, and sometimes the images he posts on twitter are other drawings he never puts on his website (though most of the time it is either food, some new gizmo, or a figure)

And his webcomic is linked nowhere, anywhere. I only found out about it because someone asked him for a link to it in a webclap like a year and a half ago, and he responded to it.

Also the main page's archives have a purge. They only go back a fixed 20 pages (I think it was?), all older posts get deleted. Meaning going there now you miss all of his really old stuff.

It's true though, we do love smiley faces.

Female weeaboos exist. They're here for the VNs and the Touhou.

I only really come around for the occasional actual Japan or Japanese related thread. I have no real interest in 東方 、VN、or エロゲ。

I know there are female weeaboos, but I expect them to be in /a/. Touhou? A shmup, genre of a game girls don't play, with only girls as characters. VNs? An interactive quiz which rewards the player with sex scenes involving one or more of the girl characters.

Why the fuck would they be interested in any of that? Unless they're lesbos in which case they should fuck off to /u/.

Every kind of girl exists. They aren't as numerous as guys, but some do like shmups and VNs. Or at least one of those, which qualifies them to browse /jp/.

>> No.3692139

>>3692136
Also as for the point about VNs; most VNs are basically soap operas with sex scenes tacked on. Some don't even have sex scenes.

Well this thread certainly isn't touhou or VN related is it? There's also that Japanese subtitles on TV thread going on as well.

I thought people having horrifically warped views of females was just a fucking joke/troll people played up. How can you be this fucking stupid? Bitches have always fucking loved ridiculous forced-drama erotic stories. Every goddamn gaiafag is creaming her panties over KAWAII FLANDRE and drawing self-insert fanart of them hugging her. Women are just as pathetic and horrible as we are.

Yes, but ignorant Americans sage those because it makes them insecure.

Why is it WHENEVER i see xD, I recognize it as a smiley- but in my mind, I always here it "ecks dee". Or when I feel that emotion, I always lay back and throw my head up and then say "el oh el, Ex dee"

Its weird. I don't know.
