And thank you to anyone who actually read through all this.
You do seem to be pretty good at explaining your opinions in elaborate and clear ways, something that I much appreciate on the internet. 'twas a fun read. Have a good day, sir.

Edit: You people complaining, you entered this thread of your own will. He did not force you to read any of this.
He simply wrote about himself to those willing to read it.

For some reason I'm finding this extremely funny. Especially this part:

Q: "What's you opinion on the current divide in American politics?"

A: This is a question that I seriously considered not answering.
Thank god he did...

It's like "thejboy88" walked into a forum, saw all of the thread titles that ended in question marks and thought "wow, these people sure are asking me a lot of questions".

@thejboy88: I'm sorry, I'm sure you meant well.

I hear That Guy with the glasses is looking for someone to replace spoony and a naracist like you would fit right in there.

One of the major consequences of the way I present myself on the internet is that a fair number of people have been sending me private messages asking me questions about what I think about various things.


Why didn't you just make a blog or something, I don't really understand why you posted this on a forum :s

It's not the fact he made the thread, it's the fact he believes this thread was warranted that we're taking issue with here.

If this was an "Ask me." thread, everything would've been fine. But seeing as he's made this because he's popular, it's kinda vain and stupid. :p

Q: "Why do you like My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic?"
Sorry, but I'm not a fan of My Little Pony. Yes, I'm aware of its existence, the Bronies, and all the clever jokes and memes that stem from it, but I just don't watch it.

Q: "What's your opinion on the recent attempts at internet censorship legislation?"
It's all bullcrap and I'm glad that we showed these greedy a**holes that you can't censor the internet, for it's censorship will mean the end of the modern world as we know it.

Q: "What's your religious affiliation and why?"
I'm Christian-Catholic and I was born into it. Done and done.

Q: "Why don't you hate "Cars"?"
I liked Cars and mostly all the Pixar films. It has racing cars (which I adored when I was little), a whole world filled with living cars, and the development of McQueen's character is predictable, but still delivers a favorable moral at the end of the film.

Q: "What's your opinion of anime?"
I love it and more specifically, the action, the original animation styles of some animes, and some thought provoking narratives and characters. It's definitely not for everyone, but it is here to stay.

Q: "What bothers you most about video games today?"
I find it a little daunting how many game developers want to push the envelope on various confusing, offensive, and controversial issues by including them in their well known and praised franchises. I'm not saying that it's wrong, as I can somewhat understand their reasoning behind it, but others outside of the video games spectrum will not, causing idiots to do idiotic things (like Google "bullying" TVTropes to delete all their existing archives on explaining rape tropes in the media by taking away their ad servers.
Hey Google, if you have a problem with rape, restrict the access of rape from your search browser instead of punishing some other site for bringing up/explaining tropes in a civilized manner).

Q: "If YOU were in charge of the live-action Transformers movies, what would you do different?"
NO HUMANS! NO HUMANS! NO HUMANS!
Seriously, it's like, "Sorry general audience that doesn't believe that towering, transforming robots that are fighting for dominance, causing massive destruction and explosions, isn't awesome or appealing to you. At the very least we have Megan Fox/Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as eye candy and Shia LeBeouf getting owned by both humans and alien robots."

What sources would I use as a reference?

G1 Transformers?
War for Cybertron Transformers?
Fall of Cybertron Transformers?
Yes to all of the above!


Q: "Aside from Transformers, is there anything else about the movie industry that bothers you?"
I hate how everything that has a niche interest needs to have a broader appeal in order to even get considered for production. What about The Avenger and their affiliate films that came before this film? What about Kick Ass? These films were awesome on their own without having to lose anything that made them so epic.

Q: "What's you opinion on the current divide in American politics?"
Republicans can go to hell. Seriously, I'd love to get into details, but that is literally the only way we can get out of the mess that they have put the nation through. That is, to literally go to hell.

Q: "Why do you hate modern Disney movies?"
You need to address specific distinctions of Disney movies because it's a big company.
Here are just two.

Modern Disney animations:
I can think of only two films that are still cartoon in nature: The Princes and the Frog and parts of Enchanted. I wasn't a particular fan of either of the films, but I feel that at least The Princess and the Frog was entertaining and that Enchanted tried to do something different to animation and live-action by doing a different take on both at that same time in the same film.

Modern Live-action films:
Definitely in the hit-or-miss category. There are some I enjoyed and some if loathe, but I'm optimistic that they might get this category right someday. By this I mean that they will consistently produce films that may not be appealing to all, but is undeniably good and/or successful.

Well, no one asked you.

Am I the only one who knows thejboy88? He's probably the most well known thejboy on the internet - and that's saying a lot since there's at least 89 of them running around.

And you are?


I don't think I've ever seen you around the forums.

Not implying that my recognition means anything, of course :D

You're no Daystar Clarion buddy. You're not even a Total Lolige, fame wise. I think you should write a blog there will be less people posting pictures of cats with a caption that reads "lardee frickin da" It could lead to some kind of internet article job. Good luck, hero.

Also, this is for you.

Shit, I'm popular enough for people to refer to others as 'you're no Daystar Clarion.'?

The power.


The power...

But it's not enough...
