trolling by private message and also probably cyber-bullying

STOP soapboxing about K-Pop/K-dramas! We have heard enough already........

Not soapboxing, expressing my opinion. I have my right to express my opinion and none of the mod complain about it. I didn't see anybody making a big deal out of my post. So don't PM me again telling me not to use K-pop/K-drama as example how Japan to gain global relevence.

1.It IS soapboxing. Every time there is a culture-related news article, you rush into its comments and rant on how well korea is playing the pop culture game and how Japan is losing it (which is completely unfounded and flies in the face of reality). We get it, you like K-pop/K-dramas. We don't need to hear about it in every single thread.

2. People HAVE complained about your posts. They haven't done so recently because they know that you will just deny the facts, label them as nationalists that are against korea, and continue to spit out the same rhetoric in thread after thread (in other words, you aren't worth their time and energy anymore).

Well I don't see the mod stepping in and criticizing my comment or editing or deleting my comment regarding that. I don't go over the line for that certain thread. The K-pop/k-drama thing is not going off topic and I used that to compare how Japan handle J-dramas and contrast between how Japan and South Korea handle products export (that include music and dramas) and nobody else beside you are complaining about it on the thread.

If you're going to criticize me, then why aren't you criticizing Poonk for doing the same, aren't we both are discussing about K-drama and J-drama on that thread too?

I'm giving an unbias view about Japan and Korea on pop culture achievement. Sure anime/manga did a lot of global achievements that would make Japan proud, but J-dramas and J-pop never reached the same milestones/global achievement like K-pop and K-dramas did. I never seen Japan doing anything similar to Hallyu, I never seen a Japanese Wave.

Well, I've seen people throwing hate at Korea because they claim "Korea stole Japan's coolness" and thinking Korea is inferior over Japan when they didn't realize that Japan is not being serious on their pop culture scene. I remember Chagen46 said this:

Hell naw, more than a few anime fans are hilariously racist towards any asian race that isn't Japanese.

How do I know you're not a weeaboo just ordering me to stop talking about Korean stuff?? How do I know you're not a anime fans that hate other Asian culture and view them as inferior?? Also I recalled most anime fans are open-minded to other Asian cultures that include Chinese and Korean. There are anime fans that are also Hallyu/K-pop fans too!!! I like to add that ANN in the past has reported on Korean-related stuff like this, or this, or this. Anime/manga and Korean pop culture can collide so you'll encounter more people like me in the future.

Look I don't know if you watch K-dramas and K-pop, but if you don't like me bringing up Korean stuff just ignore it, I try not to go off topic and I give a lot of analysis using evidence, I like to see Japan pulling off it's own Hallyu like Korea did.

But right now, Korea is playing the marketing/globalization of their pop culture game better then Japan.

But whenever a topic related to exporting/globalizing J-pop and J-drama is brought up, I'll get deeply involved with it and use K-pop/K-drama as a example of how Japan can replicate this. But what I did on the Answerman thread is not off topic and is fair and I don't see the mod making any big deal about it and nobody else beside you are complaining about my comment (nor Poonk) comparing Japan and Korea compare and contrast of globalization of pop culture.

1. If you want anyone to take you seriously and not just label you as a hater, I suggest that you not use the derogatory term "weeaboo" (when you use that term, it just makes you look like an ass and a dick).

2. You NEVER give an unbiased view when it comes to pop culture (its always korea > Japan with you).

3. I suggest that you work on your grammar (it's almost impossible to read your ridiculous posts at times)

4. Did you use enough of the bold and underline tools in your response?

At the end of the day, whether you want to admit it or not, you are soapboxing. You go into pop culture-related threads and ramble off the same statements over and over again as if no one has ever heard them before (hint: we have heard them before (and we don't care)). Your actions are the very definition of soapboxing. Of course, I don't expect you to ever admit to this, considering that you responded in the same way that you always respond to criticism (deny the facts, call those who criticize you nationalists and racists, and continue with your merry-go-round of soapboxing nonsense). Ultimately, what you are doing is annoying (and trolling) and I suggest that you stop.

Excuse me, you didn't answer my question: how come the mod or admin hasn't deleted my comment, or tell me on the Answerman thread to stop ranting/soapboxing when I didn't see one??

I'm going to quote Keonyn on another thread where people accuse me of soapboxing when I wasn't:

Keonyn wrote:

It's not soapboxing if it's relevant to the article being discussed. Turning half the thread in to a discussion about how much you dislike someone bringing up a topic on the other hand certainly could be soapboxing or trolling. Like it or not, his points are relevant to the article. If you don't like it then you don't have to read his posts or even acknowledge them, but we're not turning this thread in to a witch hunt.

1. You didn't respond to any of my last message (not surprised).

2. Changing the subject by pointing to another, unrelated thread doesn't help your argument, nor does it invalidate the points that I have made.

Well you didn't answer my question too, and what you're doing is an example of trolling. Also how come the mod didn't delete or edit my comment on the Answerman thread if you said I was soapboxing. If you keep PMing me like this and just trolling me for soapboxing which I'm not, I'll report you to the mod for that if you keep doing it.

EDIT: Read this. You seem to borderline fit this, and while you're not doing this on the forum, Antagonizing another users using PM is just as bad as antagonizing users on the forum. As I said, if you keep this up, I'll report you to the mod for this, and I'll use the PM you sent me as proof.

You might want to PM either Zac or a moderator directly.

Their IPs are the same. Either it's one heck of a coincidence or they're the same person.

I don't know Himeko90. If he really is Shiratori1 then he or she is a huge douche and should be banned regardless of any of this. But that said, I don't really see how you can possibly respond to his PMs and then claim they're "bullying" you. If you don't want to talk, don't answer. If they keep PMing you after that then fine. Then it's harassment. But if you choose to engage with the dude and get into a whole big bickering match, you can't possibly run to the mods after and play the victim. (Especially when you're the one who instigates the name calling). What's happening here is actually very simple: You and another annoying nationalist are having a stupid internet bickering match via PM. Why don't you just either keep swiping at each other, or if you're feeling mature, drop it and walk away?

So ignore him. He only has as much power as you give him.

Whining about it is lame.

I like how you ignore other people if they brought up the same topic as I did, so they get a free pass from your criticism.

Yeah, no. But feel free to keep acting as if I am unfairly picking on you and doing so for no reason.

Ummm... well, sure, I guess, but only seem to post mostly for the sake of being argumentative, belligerent and insulting.

Yeah, no.

We do not need users who are going to treat others like that and if someone is harassing and attacking another user we want to be made aware of it.
