Absolutely, this is my biggest peeve. I consider myself an open-minded person. I have no desire to impose my beliefs on anyone. But one group I cannot stand? Mother.fucking.wiccans.
I hate when they get uppity about any of their beliefs being "the original." When they talk shit about Christianity just stealing/rebranding "wiccan" holidays. Blatantly false. Wicca was not a thing, barely even a word, before 1954 or '56. Its holidays are built off of a calendar that historical pagans would not have had any familiarity with. Wicca was a movement headed by post-WWII counterculture with the faintest veneer of historicity painted unceremoniously across its face. Every wiccan I've met has been legitimately low-iq, finding "faith" in nothing more than the feeling that they're owning the christian normie patriarchy. They are completely unwilling to engage in independent research, just as bad as the most bigoted fundie christian. When someone tells me they are wiccan I instantly know they are only interested in using faith and belief to boost a certain aspect of their self-image, not to provide moral framework or pursue profound truths or whatever else religion can be used for.
You wanna call yourself a historical pagan? Fine, I don't have any grief with that. If your beliefs are well researched and thought-out, whatever they may be, I can learn something from you and that's something I appreciate. Wiccans don't have that and never will. It's one of the biggest farces of the 20th century west, and that's saying something.
This isn't even getting into the outright delusional/vindictive side. I fully invite any wiccan here to lay your worst curse on me. Burn your oldest yew, your driest sage, your dankest weed. Bring it the fuck on, asshole.

I can't believe these individuals haven't been stated, but white knights are some of the most detestable people with zero actual backbone. I hate how they will put on an "alpha" act around guys usually, and then they treat females with kid's gloves no matter how cuntish they are. These people can never be reasoned with, or will they change because women will always get unearned attention, and the white knight will always be desperate. I don't see any way to successfully counteract this behavior because it doesn't bother most people.

People who promise and never deliver. Words lose meaning when you talk to this type of person. I don't want to associate with people who don't try to make their words a reality.

i was going to go in a long rant but i'll keep it short by saying this isn't new behaviour either. this isn't just now and because of muh trump and muh libs or something, take a look at old comicbooks since the '30s to atleast roughly the 90's, the coldwar, the commies, the natzis "muh racism" the russians, and in the 2000's it was the muslums as "terrorists"
the amount of moralfagging and strawmanning is unreal and there's always a bugaboo bad guy to be scared of. you always have to upkeep some type of social norm and if you don't, you must be "insert bugaboo here" and you better fucking watch out the bugaboo is everywhere.
i was reading an agent of shield comic and i had to stop reading that shit because of a character introduced called the "hate mongerer" who had a "hatred ray" that made people ""racist"" AND GUESS WHAT AFTER BEING UNMASKED THE HATE MONGER IS LITERALLY HITLER ZOMG HE SURVIVED and this shit was written in like 1963. i was watching the umbrella academy show and in season two a character gets transported back in time and participates in fucking black suffrage even though literally no one cares its the 2000's and that shit wasn't in the original comics and continuing onwards there was a show i used to watch called supergirl on the CW and it was pretty much a comfy show about an outsider and it was hardcore comicbook shit like the red tornado makes an appearance but then out of fucking no where the culture war makes an appearance and it becomes hardcore anti trump muh racism
these people are brainwashed even jews still jerk off about hitler and blacks jerk off about muh whitey at this point you really have to scoff at how obsessed people are about conflicts that are 100 years old or even just 8 years old.
although slightly unrelated of a topic if people want to consume media to escape they want to fucking escape not get sucked in to the culture war and its getting really old.

I hate people who will hold grudges. I can't do anything and I won't beg for you to like me again and there is nothing I can do.

lol yeah, i used to use caimeo all the time. laughed my ass off at the ways suits would try to lock it up. really too bad it took itself offline. that was a sad day.

I used some torrent site on I2P for a while, and I saw a Reddit clone on Tor that looked interesting. In general I haven't found hidden services interesting enough to really stick around with for any extended period of time. Although the hidden services available may be different from the last time I checked years ago and the obscurity might filter normalfags maybe

i was thinking of making a thread for shiki but honestly a part of me feels like it would just be me talking to myself but at the same time it's stupid because it's a fucking imageboard and so what? maybe a month will go by without takers and hey maybe someone who watched the anime will stumble by or whatever and the thread will get flooded by posts. Another problem of mine is either i'll get distracted while watching an anime and lose interest or find it hard to bother watching something that someone mentioned, am i the idiot here or is there more like me? is this some type of writers block but with anime?

Nanairo (Rainbow/7 Colors of): 7th Anniversary (Chorus Version)
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29468530 [Play]
Let's talk a bit about the 合唱シリーズ (Chorus Series) tag because it might confuse people as to who the people are singing and why the avatar and signature is there as I previously used to think that it might have been the official VAs of the characters but that's completely wrong.

The Chorus Series tag applies to videos where a author takes previously sung solo videos by various authors and combines them together as seen in the medley above to create a pseudo-chorus effect by synchronizing the voices of different performers. Some works may include performance videos (visually shown singing or w/instruments, etc.) or the original singer or VOCALOID mixed in.
It's also not to be confused with the 合唱 (Chorus) tag as it refers to videos where the audio data is recorded and uploaded by the singers themselves specifically for the purpose of creating that particular video where as mentioned Chorus series takes already previously sung videos and combines them together.

From my personal experience a lot of the videos with the Chorus Series tag are hit or miss as I have found many of them to sound absolutely terrible when combining the various awful microphone frequencies together.

The Avatar System includes assigning a character to specific singers. The avatar images used are often based on the singer's handle name (HN), characteristics of their singing or videos, or the preferences and imagination of the Chorus Series creator.
This method gained popularity around the summer of 2008 and is sometimes referred to as the "裏ンティス" (UraNtis) method." The avatar images are unified with characters directly related to the music, particularly VOCALOID. In such cases, different artists differentiate the avatars instead of differentiating the characters themselves.
This method often involves a more selective choice of singers, switching singers not only by phrases but even by individual notes.
If you are wondering about the UraNtis term: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/裏ンティスの人
There is also a hand drawn avatar method which refers to a method where the creator manually draws avatars to represent the singers involved in the video. These avatars are based on either the fixed character or icon associated with the borrowed singer or the artistic interpretation of the creator themselves.

組曲「らき☆すた動画」(Suite "Lucky Star Douga") MAD Completed Version
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2053794 [Play]
This is by far one of the best medleys that I managed to watch and listen to. While I wasn't initially a big fan of Lucky Star, my perspective changed after discovering the MAD videos on Nico Nico Douga using the Lucky Star source material in very creative ways. This specific medley is a suite that includes various songs from Lucky Star including the Character Songs series: https://nyaa.si/view/38636

It's worth noting that this medley is an official release and is actually included in the らき☆すたRe-Mix002～『ラキスタノキワミ、アッー』【してやんよ】～ CD as 06 - Kumikyoku Lucky Star Douga. The uploader on NND added the fantastic PV portrayal of all the characters in this particular case.

The arrangement is done by Akira Kagami, who was responsible for the music in the anime. The title and composition of the suite are clearly inspired by the Nico Nico Douga Medley Series. However, there is no official video included with the suite (although unofficial videos created by fans later surfaced).
As a side note, the record label Lantis, which released this CD, later released a CD titled "ランティス組曲" (Lantis Kumikyoku). In response to this suite, the creator of the "組曲『ニコニコ動画』" (Kumikyoku "Nico Nico Douga"), Shimo, created a video called "ニコニコ動画流星群" (Nico Nico Douga Ryuuseigun (Meteor Shower)) featuring the song

This medley originally was uploaded to Nico Nico Douga several times with each upload the authors trying to improve the quality until the "I tried to sing" version came along. There's not much information about this specific medley with no special tags that have their own wiki article so I won't have to say much this time around.
The Youtube upload also has 2 million views compared to the Nico Nico Douga version with 160,000 views.
A long time ago as well there was an English-subtitled version of the medley was uploaded on YouTube. Although it was subsequently deleted, it was later reuploaded which is the file I will be including this time around.
This medley never fails to bring a smile to my face. The voices in the medley closely resemble those of the original voice actors, and the hilariously amusing lyrics effectively encapsulate the essence of the show. It becomes really hard for me to click off of it once the video starts playing.

While I couldn't locate an English article this time, I will provide a response to another comment that contains the original Japanese lyrics from the medley:

Note to future me.
1. /mu/ thread about playlists for bands you want to share with 22chan.

trying to think of decent /yu/ threads. one that comes to mind is re-creating the vague memories thread i made, and another is "war stories" or talking about some injury you had (without bitching) like "lol once i broke my arm but didn't realise it and spent the whole day doing shit and eventually someone pointed out that my arm was fucked and i later went tp the hospital"
stuff like that.

i plan on making a /yu/ thread called "fallout music"
sounds strange but it works like this: post music that, if you where fucked (and stuck in a apocalypse) and had no internet or power, you'd be content to listen to over and over.

As a Lovecraft nut, I'm picky about monsters in cosmic horror stories. A monster that just wants to eat people or some such may not ruin a story, but it definitely isn't a point in its favor. I like the approach of finding some interesting dynamic in nature, something more than predation, then applying it to a cosmic setting. My idea for an example of this principle:
The beastie is not something that exists in the physical sense. It has no body, no ears, it does not give chase. Rather, it is a virus of conception. A certain pattern of thought, a footnote on an ethical code, a persistent source of hallucination, the first part of a forgotten dream. It infects and fascinates an individual, changes the way they see things. The human will then produce obscure echoes of it in their art and conversation. In this way the paradigm-horror spreads. The end goal of this beastie is not to infect humans. It isn't particularly dangerous to the individual. Less than madness, but perhaps a slight eccentricity is visible to the vigilant hunter of such things. In extreme cases a certain mania, given the strength to surface only in the twilight years of a thinking mind. Humans are a carrier species for this virus. A vector ferrying the plague to larger, more advanced biologies. In this case, reality itself.
In this setting reality is a consensus anchored in wells of sentience. Humans and similar species are windows turned inward, stardust, will of the cosmos made manifest, all such hoodoo. Fundamental constants are held steady not by the internal logic of a spectacular computer or decree of a theogenic autocrat but in the familiar stories repeated endlessly in the thought-flows and memory-gyres of intelligent beings. The universe is Wikipedia, not a dictionary. For instance, the value of pi is 3.14159... Any thinking being with the ability to calculate pi with a given degree of precision will arrive on the same values even without corroboration. If, for some reason, every single being with this capability finds that the millionth digit is 4 rather than 5, pi would warp to reflect this. Rather, the various principles that give rise to pi will shift to enforce the new value. Just with something so insignificant as this, euclidean geometry goes out the window. Only slightly, totally imperceptibly to the human. But undoubtedly. By sufficiently convincing the mob, the conclusion shifts from "the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle is constant, parallel lines never converge, precisely one line passes through any two separate points, the interior angles of a triangle add up to one half of a full rotation" to... something else. I'm not enough of a mathematician to say what.

Point is, this is a critical mass situation. If the virus manages to achieve a sufficient level of saturation, the anchors that keep reality constant will be uprooted. What sort of truth will be enforced by this process is insignificant. The creature of reality will become terribly ill, a holy balance has been terminated. The virus will have won. The universe languishes in chaotic self-contradiction, the virus proliferates. This reality dies entirely, loses the ability to regulate itself. A body with no homeostasis is a corpse. Corpses are scavenged. Scavengers carry the virus deep into the supercosmic ecosystem, a space beyond any sense or hope of discovery. Some madman or mystic from a new world reaches beyond reach. Insidious contact. Cycle repeats.
A healthy reality will naturally fight against this infection, like a stout immunology bucking the attempted siege of some pox or sniffle. It seeks to terminate infected cells before the virus propagates further. Status quo is no joke. Mathematical maxims are not the intended playthings of metaphysical pathogens. Some madman or mystic never comes back from their mountaintop, gone with no trace. Perhaps they were conveyed to a holier place on a chariot of fire. Suppose they never existed at all, a myth synthesized from the feats of several notable individuals scattered across a century or two.
We are the prisoners of a this reality. Attempts to escape are not tolerated. It keeps us here in a neurotic tyranny born of petulance. It is blind to the beauty of ultimate truths, and resents that we are not similarly blind. It fills our bellies with hunger, our minds with desire, our bones with pain. Despite the raging madness, the powers that hold us here are finite. Inconsequential. Yaldabaoth is destined only for the rotting pile, his only desire is postponement of the inevitable. Such a foul, impotent dragon. We will have our light and truth. Pleroma shines for us, and we shine for each other.

>The beastie is not something that exists in the physical sense. It has no body, no ears, it does not give chase. Rather, it is a virus of conception.
part of my problem is like with dead space and alien, is after you know of the threat, it stops becoming scary.
what you dont know and dont understand and arent even shown is more terrifying then any monster in any movie.
the usage of the supernatural can only affect those who believe or those who are religious, this is where cosmicism anx cosmic horror comes in because honestly you can read whatever book and still would not reach any sort of understanding of the threat since it is beyond the written word. one may see similarities between what they know (as am example one might conclude cosmic horror beastie is similar to a demon) but even then it is still beyond their woldview.
also, it is much more tolerable and in a way can unite people, i knew a hardcore christian who hated thd exorsist movie but was addicted to the books "the hound of tindalos" and "the king in yellow"
in a way it can also be used to critique religions, and to also support positive aspects of them.
