Only on Newgrounds...
Can a car butt-rape another car...and keep GOING.
Guys. Let's just face it. We go on NEWGROUNDS BBS because its a social melting pot that culminates with lessened standards and almost platonic reason for being, we don't come here to be smart, we come for exactly the opposite. We come here because we can't believe that anyone important who can come back and slap us in the face can SAY that we are DUMB. Can SAY that was are uneducated, snobby, pushy, vulgar, hate-filled little sh*ts who act like we actually amount to more than a spec on the evolutionary chain. Why does this thread exist, why, tell me why!?
Why are we fighting fate? Why, why Mr. Thread Starter, WHY DO YOU PERSIST!?
I used to ask questions like these and wonder why Newgrounds was the way it was.
Said threads were often ridiculed, disowned, and/or promptly shut down and deleted for being "a bitchfest from an 06er who doesn't spend anytime here and doesn't know what he's talking about".
If I get sick of hearing the racist/sexist/hypocritical schlock that pools here on any given day, I simply don't go to the BBS. I remember in 07 we were talking about how the BBS would be three times as bad as it was when I started here the next year, there was this paranoia of 08ers and 09ers and I presume 10ers, but I didn't stay to find out and kind of ditched from 08-09 and got off this train.
I remember there was this one person here who said something to me and the gist of it was, "If you don't like what we say here, then leave, no one's stopping you.". I guess that's almost in a way some kind of confirmation of how stupid we all know we all are here. Its a big community, it can't be helped.
I used to think the conversation level was immature and internet "based" back then, but now every time I come here I find a thread that somehow enacts a part of life or philosophy that I've been pondering.
"Are you who you say you are"
"Is abortion moral?"
"Why do atheists not believe in God?"
"Does killing someone evil make you righteous"
"What happens after you die?"
"Why do you think the chicken crosses the road"
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this happens enough that "Newgrounds veterans" are going to come in and support me on this, by all means, i doubt anyone here knows who I am in the first place, but still, there's always an almost insulting level of conversation that seems to directly link to something universal here for me. Compared to before when all I saw was Photoshop threads, Clubs I couldn't/didn't want to join, and other lame, NSFW, indecent, or outright stupid internet jokes I didn't understand back then, there is some level of "topic" and "context" going on.

Yes guys, this guy is right. This has been fun and all...but we need to start minding the rules that Tom Fulp laid out for us. All of us need to keep them in mind...
No more photoshop threads. No more sarcasm *wink* racism *wink* threads. No more idle-talking, no more cussing or talking about. And NO MORE NFW threads, people are going to start suing Newgrounds because of it all.
You have just gained ten experience posts for looking at this post.
The first game is a repetitive slasher with great voice acting, it has its themes and widgets and makes me want to play it over and over again. Here I am, thinking my luck is finally beginning to change while getting my hands on a copy of No More Heroes 2, and bada-bing...
Its almost worst than the first one. Its Suda 51, the writing isn't AWFUL and I like the scale of the concepts he's taking, however, now I wish that Suda had held to the rumor of, well, to quote Sylvia Christel, "I know ... Too bad there won't be a sequel!". No More Heroes was flawed marble, but it WAS marble. Desperate Struggle IMO is just a mess of good ideas put to a crap engine. Really, I think Desperate Struggle is just a "mod" of the original No More Heroes engine the same way HL: Source and Counterstrike are heavy mods of Half-Life.
Even down to the soundtrack, which is mainly stolen from the original game with some renditions, the characters remain the same with some few new animations - the mission structure exactly the same, no new modes other than Deathmatch Mode, and even MORE empty rewards than the first game. (Remember "Jeane" and "Refrigerator", they were pointless, but they were interesting.) Worser still, and I can't believe Suda let this happen, the bosses are cliche and cheap. 3 or 4 are some of the worst designed boss battles I've ever played through, Rank 24, the Giant Robot battle, Rank 5, and of course...motherf*cking Rank 1...I pity all those who are in my position on his second form, the cheapest boss battle in existence (I will beat him tomorrow, and I will probably shelf this game forever, that or sell it).
I know people like to say that Desperate Struggle "revamped" everything for the better, but it just doesn't do it well enough. While the original NMH may have gotten old and given off a glitchy feeling, you can't TELL me you didn't enjoy every boss and wanted to play through again JUST to see them (or you at least wanted to see the cutscenes again). After I finish NMH 2 (I am on the second-to-last boss) I don't ever want to touch it again.
And I was all hyped for Henry and Shinobu, and god, that was a let down.
Damn it, I've never been prouder to say this.
You sir have just won the internet for the day!
God bless America for spic and spaness!
I'd detail the last hour of sex I had with my wife/girlfriend or describe the first time I got laid, so I could make all of the squeamish 7-16 year olds that will surely populate this place when I'm old feel awkward and weird, since they probably, like us, won't have a shot until they're 30.
Not even Newgrounds has fails as low as this. Though the purpose of the fight itself was an experiment by one of the members to lure out fanboys who would defend him regardlessly, so it was pretty funny when it was brought up - even if it was one-sided.
A worse one: Master Chief vs The Hulk, Master Chief vs Nemesis.
ON THE PLANET, I tell you. THEY ARE F**KING RETARDED, GRRR!!!! (pops blood vessel)

This post speaks the truth. Seriously guys, this stuff just isn't funny anymore. Grow up and face reality - you are not a uniquely-gifted comedian, you are the same talentless, unfunny decomposing material as all of the other unfunny bastards out there.
Lololol, they all are freaking retarded! Lol! This is totally TL;Dr!

(Okay, now that they've all hit BACK. If you happen to go here or know people, feel free to continue.)
So, I happen to be a user on Fanfiction.net, if anyone has ever heard of it a place where good and often BAD BAD things can happen. About 60% of the population is female, and about 30% of that population is NOT obsessed with Twilight or some other gross anime/novel/movie fandom. Most of these women like to sop up their hopeless love lives by writing stories that "are not about themselves in the clothing of a canon character universe" or "by writing homosexual stories about their favorite male characters breaking continuity and falling in love with each other, even if they are trying to kill each other in their fictional universe.
I detest things like this, these putrid AUs and these wretched OCs (Twilight), mind you. I try my hardest not to be a "douche bag" Fanfiction writer(Twilight), I don't bend the truth or the facts just to make myself feel like (Twilight) a better writer - But at the same time, as I mentioned, 70% (Twilight) of them are all female, and they will fight to protect what they believe in or love (Twilight). hOWEVER, I will concede that as a fan fiction writer, I am required to bend things in certain ways, and I am in many ways a goofball. I know, a lot of my ideas are just plain stupid to...a person like you, but its the fan fiction author way. There's no getting around it - So if you're not a very accepting or receptive-aggressive person, I suggest you hit BACK now and realize you wasted a minute reading all of this.
However, as a young teenager, I was frequently prone to "raging" against what I deemed to be "bullshit", generally assumed by the number of people revieiwng a story when the story itself has two paragraphs max (an exaggeration, but you get the idea). I've gathered a loyal following of fan fiction-writing females ad crews who hate my guts because I've flamed (and just for emphasis, I like to be sarcastic, half-serious, witty, or at least 'funny' when I flame people here, I don't just go "Fuck you" and walk away, I like to put a bit of spice with my insults)
I'm a bit smarter than I was back then and I try not to openly offend people unless I know they aren't going to be logical or respond to reason, thus requiring a dramatic verbal thrashing to get them to listen to me instead of tune me out. However, the problem with the internet is that you can't automatically assume something about a person just because of things they say - You never know all the circumstances that lead up to a conversation with that person, whether it goes good or bad.
Now, on Fanfiction.net finally, I have multiple accounts used in case I need a backup or run out of documents. The one in question here is: ChaosEmerald. On this one, I wrote a story awhile ago called "Cod Of War II". But on the ChaosEmerald account, when I was younger, I played out what I imagine to be a lot of my "troll hunts" for the often more-than-not terribly written Assassin's Creed fics (the gist are women portraying Assassins, or Altair falling in love with some authoress-inspired character - its sap romance).
One of these happened to be one, The First Female Assassin, by Ms Opalaisha. As you've witnessed if you have an attention span, she is an advent of Twilight. Now, without going through hours of searching through debates I've participated in, its my general consensus that people who display a general obsession and hysteria with Twilight are high-stakes people, high blood pressure, high anxiety, and have a tendancy to overreact or take things a bit too seriously. This is estimated due to the interactions I've faced in my daily life with Twilight advocates. (Now, I disclaim fair Twilight readers, I have moderate respect for someone who enjoys a book, no matter the subject matter.).
Now, again, I happened to be a flamer-troll with a Level 55 Posting Wand. But there were times when I answered rather civilly, in my opinion. And this happened to be one of them...My review of one of Opalaisha's stories.
I don't think its that harsh, do you. I admit, maybe it was a bit half-serious because I was mellow at the time. But compared to others, its entirely soft. Its like I'm speaking to the rest of what I consider a "female OC-obsessive" crowd rarther than just her, I tried to relax her, she's a decent writer though I disapprove of her first person storytelling due to personal convictions about writing.
And on my Cod Of War story, I just recently came upon this. Her review of my non-hostile review.
Now the reason this is so important to me (to those of you wondering why I bothered posting this on the "oh so rich and enlightening General Board that is grossed with so many varying levels of intelligent discussion that you wonderful, respectful, and accepting Newgrounders wander and propagate like nursery children) is because in one of my past debates when I was more of a troll than an honest reviewer I overheard someone who in retrospect was far more respectable than I was about the issue of these "hopeless authoresses" and they compared Twilight fanatacism with general fan fiction fanatacism. This person, in addition to a number of others on the thread, agreed that while they learned to accept authoresses like that, they noted how authoresses such as these are very openly hostile to even the slightest amount of criticism.
And frankly, I couldn't have begged for a better example than this. I'm PMing her soon once I log into the right account, and I'll be using this as a past evidence for any debates I get into people on the level of atrocity and magnificence that permeates fan fiction and its writers.
Discuss.
Or, let this sink to the bottom of the page. I hope this was an amusing little story and theory for you all, however. It certainly was for me.

Funny. Do you write your own material, or does the material write for you?
Or on Dailymotion or anywhere else? I was hoping someone could advise me on how to contact him, as you may have know of some of his videos that were apparently on Youtube and Dailymotion that were removed, his account on Youtube gone, and his account on Dailymotion preventing messaging because of site standards.
...ever getting fixed, or did Tom and his spam-fighting crew just forget about that. I used to enjoy looking at it back in late 06, but in 2007 it was allegedly broken. Then I take a somewhat enigmatic absence to explore the rest of the web, and that lasts what is soon to be two years, and I come back to discover its still broken, after a year and 3/4 of a year.
What the eff, Tom?

Unlike you, not EVERYBODY on the internet is 40+ years older and still looking at pornographic culture or pretty young actresses below the age of 20.
Oh hey, how is Emma Watson, Miranda Cosgrove, or Miley Cyrus working out for you?
Cheerleading and Football.
Cheerleading, because it is not a SPORT, it is a window into a dimension of beauty. And football, because frankly I'm tired of hearing how "impressive" working out again and again so you can headbutt, tackle, and latch onto another male/female is and how great throwing a ball some yards is.
Stuff like Badmitton, soccer, and the more aerobic version of bull-fighting (My Spanish teacher never told me what its called, but its like bullfighting except you jump over the bull) actually takes skill, football is just working out, keeping yourself fit, and remembering what direction to move in. Building up stamina, there's no precisness to it in my opinion.
*braces self for criticism*
Better to have loved another and lost another, then to have never known if "love" existed between one and another, my friend. You had imperishable memories and experiences, while people like I may never even have the boldness or courageousness to speak for ourselves and may never see that putrid definition of love the same comedic, simplistic way Hollywood and romance novels seem to envision it. Remember what you had together and move on, move on but don't lose your train of thought and keep yourself together, you lucky bastard. You made your chances once, you can make them again.
In other words:
GET UP OFF THE DAMN COUCH YOU TEARY-EYED FATASS AND TAKE IT TO MYLIFEISAVERAGE.
Never felt the urge I'm afraid. And where I'm from, you'd probably be working pretty damn hard to score drugs. Then again, my school is a bit farther out from where I am, and there seem to be enough gossipers who claim being caught and arrested for "possession". One friend even told me that EVERY girl in my school (just about, the majority) had smoked a cigarette, drank alcohol, or smoke something by about Freshmen or Sophmore year, even the innocent ones (though judging from appearance likely cut off.
This all rushed into my brain like what I what imagine a migraine would be, and when I looked around at some of my former, long-distance friends and other people in my grade, I saw that a good deal of what my friend had said to be true. Dry shallow skin, lines, hair missing, and various attempts to conceal disfiguation with beauty products in addition to constant rumors proved that most kids had tried these things that counselors tried so hard to stimulate in elementary school at LEAST once.
I've also heard a coagulation of rumors that girls were caught in a school bathroom smoking weed once, and personal friend of mine was actually sexually engaged or "fingered" shall we say in a bathroom by another friend of mine. (In the long run, despite all of my years being on the internet and seeing all of the disgusting things old men and teenagers had to put and say on the internet, somehow all of this made me literally feel like "noob" in real life).
In a way, its kind of funny. I think the internet actually became my ANTI DRUG. Learning about the more obscene and vulgar parts of life and society, I was smart or perhaps oblivious enough to avoid those things in my daily life.
More and more I find myself looking at everyday situations where fathers and mothers brutally or critically injure their children before they're even old enough to defend themselves or file for some kind of protection, its really disturbing in the long run of things. Sooner or later, children will be born in hospitals and guarded/raised carefully over by robots until the parents are certified as willing parents - there seem to be enough parents who either can't handle their children or injure their children, maybe robots are the way to go.
F**k YES, she is in my age range! BYE BYE FEELINGS OF PEDOPHILIA!
Ah, no. It'd be a nice dream though. You know those scarce (well, I shouldn't really say "scarce") people who had a crush on Lindsay Lohan when she was growing up, all up until about maybe Mean Girls. Same way with Dakota Fanning for me, I just always thought she looked/sounded too young. Then again, I don't think anybody who goes on Newgrounds as long as I have has any chance at success - but seriously, you're right, she's developed a lot since "Push (2008)".
I feel bad for her though, I know this is pardoning some others but from a kind of perspective, she's one of the most exploited, talked about, and "menaced" child actresses I've ever known/aware of. In two or three of her movies controversy continues to surround scenes where she is depicted being raped. I hope her personality hasn't taken the hits.
Hot and trouble-starting.
Trouble-starting hot.
Attractive troublemaker, that Dakota Fanning.
