"Just curious, what's with all the Anonymous remarks?"
"Are they ultra lazy, ultra cowardly, ultra paranaoid, all of the above?"
"What's wrong with owning your comment?"
In this particular site, that allows anonimous posting as well as the "standard" that we are using, sometimes going anonimous for the sake of quickness to voice an opinion seems the nicest way to go (for me). Paranoid... I dunno. Aren't IPs being logged all the time?
And there's nothing wrong with owning your comment, but there is nothing wrong with being anonimous either.
Still, some people misuse that apparent freedom and "anonimity" that being a non registered user grants, as evidenced by the flood of comments that sometimes plague posts. Then again, it is allowed, so I'm not really complaining.
"Frankly an anonymous comment is to me more or less identical to no comment at all, like they really aren't even there. I mean, it's not like they're worth anything."
If you are lazy to actually read or discriminating against those who go the anon way, then that's your call. I've seen some accurate comments and even interesting ones in many places, here included, by some anons. Just like utter idiocy from registered users.
"Are you guys worried that you will say something and later have to actually deal with having said it?"
Not really, but that depends on the person, I guess.
"I say what I say, but I don't mind saying it either. Yes, Sukunai said it, deal with it."
Couldn't care less. And you sometimes sound (read) like a dick, but that's just me.
"For instance, I am NOT an Otaku, and certainly not a loli.
I just happen to watch a bunch of anime.
And away from the computer I am all but undetectable as anything but a mundane individual."
"Certainly not loner tragedy either :)"
Perhaps you meant lolicon? Because for a loli, you'd have to be under a certain age (not standardized) and female... Plus wearing your lower underwear for all to see, or so current trends seem to imply.
I don't consider myself an otaku either, as I have my life more or less in order. I actually came here because I liked the galleries and the funny stories about people in Japan...
Plus, Fiona makes a really good point.
