On the other hand, there is something to be said for a clear expression and sometimes people throw a tantrum when you point out that they may have misspoken.

If you make a spelling mistake or grammatical error during an intense online debate, you deserve to be shot. In that sense, I think "nazi" is the appropriate term for the ideal solution to people who don't proofread because they're too butthurt to take the time for it.

I am against being a stickler for grammar but I am for murder, so I could go either way on this one.

Someone pointing out a typo during a discussion happens pretty seldom on /lit/ though.

I agree more or less. However I think you can make the argument that certain grammatical or orthographical rules are worth to be enforced, for example the distinction between they're/there/their or have/of for the sake of intellegibility.

Also I think you can argue for a certain rules not from a 'correctness' point of view, but from aesthetics.

Correct, I agree. I was actually referring more to verbal speech.

anime images are undank.
The citizens of [s4s] know this to be true, and oppose it at every given moment. The undankness of anime not only disturbs the flow of good meme, but it also actively denies the existing dankness. It is therefore, double the crime, for it not only creates undankness but removes dankness.
Imagine if hatred didn't only cause friction, but actively removed love as well, as if the devil had not only bring his wickedness to this world, but god's angels as well.
This is what happens in a sense with anime and dankery.
