You are completely missing the point. Its not that we dont like you, its just that we dont like what you say since most of the times you post something its to bash the games that you dont like. Get it? Just dont bash games that other people like and you will be fine.
You usually post things along the lines of:
"I like this and if you dont you are an idiot"
or
"This thing that I like is much better then that (multiple adjectives insulting the game) that you like"

Don't go. Ignore the haters, a good number of which have already posted (not going to name any names, but it's obvious who you are). But more importantly, don't ignore the people who have given advice on how to interact with the forum.
Even if the advice is a little harsh, a lot of it would be great to follow for future endeavors here.
There's plenty of people here who enjoy the same things you enjoy. You might have to narrow where and when you post to avoid the jerks, but there's plenty of people around that share the same interests. You've just got to look a little harder past the initial impression of this forum that says all Japanese games suck, and that they recycle the same gameplay, story, whatever, BS argument #288596.
And if you really do go, then good luck with your future. It's honestly sad for me to see a forum community alienate someone completely just because of what they like.

How to rewrite the OP in a way that isn't going to antagonise half the people who read it, without removing important content.
You are exposing your writing to very large numbers of people who have absolutely no reason not to speak their minds. Someone earlier in the thread linked some of your previous posts, go read some of your replies and try to do so without mentally adding whatever tone you intended. Irrespective of how other people react in reply your posts are brimming with cues that are inevitably going to cause people to react negatively. If you don't want people to react badly, remove them.LilithSlave said:
To be honest I kinda miss Zeel I mean he was a complete asshole but he livened things up a bit. Plus he got the rest of us united together for a common cause(Disagreeing with him) all on his own which is an achievement in its self.TheBobmus said:
Serious suggestion, I'm seconding this. I'm pretty sure I've seen every last one of the games Lilith mentioned in her OP gushed about over there, whether it's in their specific board, in the board of the systems that they're on, or in the board for the genre they fit into (SHMUPS, Fighters, etc.)Arnoxthe1 said:
Also, Lilith, we don't hate the games with a passion. I've played and enjoyed a good chunk of the stuff on the list. What gets old is the way you flip out at the slightest thing. I would say offense, but that's the point: you take offense when there should be none. I'm not saying you need to leave here, I am saying if you want to fit in /anywhere/ on the internet, you need to grow a thicker skin.
OP don't listen to these idiots, they just don't recognise your genius like I do, I say ditch them and come with me. You're lucky I saw this thread OP, not many people outside SA get to hear my awesome advice. Speaking of SA I'd reccomend you check out the SOMETHINGAWFUL DOT COM forums, I feel like you'd fit right in there. Now, I'm going to give you some advice for establishing yourself as a posting superstar. My advice will also help you not immediately go and waste your :tenbux:.
Now, since you like games you might think of going into their Games forum for your first post, this is a terrible idea. First, buy a My Little Pony avatar, these are very popular on SA and will give the impression you're a cool guy. Then what you need to do is make a thread in E/N about how much your life sucks and how even anonymous people on the internet hate you, make sure the post is as melodramatic as possible (and link to this thread). Now half the people responding are gonna be making fun of you and the other half is gonna recommend you break up with your dog and get therapy, whatever you do don't listen to them. All this may seem bad but things are going exactly as planned. Continue making melodramatic posts ignoring the advice, ideally culminating in a massive meltdown.
Hopefully a mod or admin notices your terrible thread and attempts to make it not terrible by giving you a mod challenge, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Do your mod challange, FAST, don't want anyone beating you to the punch and deciding a fitting punishment is permabanning. If someone does beat you to it DON'T PANIC all you need to do is do it better than them and hopefully the mod is mercyful.
Ok, so you've done your mod challenge. Your MLP avatar is now replaced with a photoshop of the same picture, now with added phallus, and you've got some text under it saying something like "Touhou, Touhou, can't fucking shut up about Touhou. Also I'm a big god damn idiot who literally thinks my problems are literally bigger than those of a literal war orphan. LITERALLY. I do complete my mod challanges though" in big red text. One more thing you've gained from this is the My Little Anime Meat Shoes (in this example your challenge was to create a new version of the Hulk Hogan Meat Shoes http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/hulk-hogan-meatshoes.php more fit for the modern goon. Because sadly Hulk Hogan isn't as relevant now as when the Meat Shoes were new) you made for your mod challenge.
Haha, but no seriously, spend your ten bucks to register at the best god damn forum of all time (sorry escapiststersstur but it's true), lurk untill you get the feel of how people post there and read the rules (tl;dr don't post like an idiot, this includes going into a thread and posting something like "this sucks" and then leaving AKA shitposting, unless you wanna bet 10 dollars that you're really funny).
OP, I haven't read any of your posts besides this thread but, to me it sounds like you like long posts and Touhou so i found this for you: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3485123 I have no idea if you can read this if you're not registered (my dear friend Richard may have closed the forums to unregistered users) but it's the current Touhou megathread (nr 5 apparantly). It seems kinda recent so you don't have to read 200 pages of stupid shit before posting, I know nothing about Touhou so this thread may be terrible for all i know. Speaking of hundreds of pages of stupid shit, i saw some SRW games in your "games I like" list so here is the current SRW megathread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2960340 SRW owns by the way, so your taste in games isn't completely terrible. Also, feminism: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3479721 hope you like words.
Also let me recommend some subforums for you: Games obviously, and it seems you like japanese games and cartoons so you probably like japanese cartoons (you may have heard about it it's called amnimen or some shit) I'd recommend ADTRW (Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse).
Some of you might have reservations against paying for a forum, and that's understandable, especially with SA's... colorful history and strict moderation (you thought the escapist mods were bad HA). But its still one of the biggest forums, so you will probably find SOMETHING you like and the fact that you have to pay to use the forums keeps kids and people who don't want to put effort into their posts away, basicly means SA has a smaller population of idiots than the most places on the internet.

4chan, being a japanese culture board, seems like it would be a good place for you as long as you stay the hell away from /b/ and the adult sections (unless you're into futa : \)
I'm going to be blunt though, with the way you present the majority of your threads and posts, you'll be hard pressed to find any community that will accept you. People generally don't react well to hostility. I mean, my interest in games is fairly similar to yours, and I quite like anime, but you don't see my head getting torn off every time I make a post.
I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not a troll, but if you are, keep doing what you're doing; you do a fantastic job!
edit: wow, somebody put a lot of effort into that troll post above mine @ __ @

Is that really all the games you like? 
Maybe the first thing people have a problem with is the way you lay out your posts, less aggressive would be nice.
Or maybe it's the kinds of games you show to others here in general. I've never heard a fair amount of the games on the list, mainly because they're Japanese. The games you present tend to not be the kind of thing people here are use to.
And as for finding a new community, good luck with that.
(A bit off-topic, but what the hey) -
Saying "You should find a less sophisticated community" is redundant, since the Escapist is the classiest forums I've ever seen. =)

I'm curious, how did you get permabanned? Do they have a forum health meter like here or were you banned because you said the most disgusting thing a human being can ever say? ... Or you swore?Regnes said:
Edit: Seeing my avatar in too different places at the same time can look... strange.
I'm sorry to be the only douchebag here, but... HA!!! Good riddance! I'm sorry, but you have came across as one of the most self-centered posters on here, seeyah!

Ignore listed, best decision ever lol
OP: You can't honestly react the way you usually do to criticism and be accepted ANYWHERE. I'd recommend IGN, but I suppose I've got a vested interest there. Try 1UP and Penny-Arcade.
From what I've gathered in my lurking of your threads, your posts, your reactions to others, and from what others say about you, the problem isn't with the games you like or your tastes in [such and such]. The problem is YOU. Right off the bat just reading "Please help me find another forum online c-" (it got cut off on the 'latest threads' dash) I knew it was another LilithSlave thread. You're always so dramatic and everything seems to be a personal affront to you. You can find an insult in a stream of compliments. To be as frank as can be, you remind me of my 11 year old sister.
So, hey, my advice to you is to just, I don't know, relax? People like things you don't like. Get over it. In the mean time of getting over it, I guess search for a site that leans towards Japanese titles?
Oh, and as a person who absolutely loves JRPGS, loves anime and manga, has studied Japanese culture, and knows a decent amount about what it's like to live in Japan, I can tell you that Japanese culture is actually not that great (for example, they stagnate on soooooo many social issues that it's like Japan's stuck several decades, if not more, in the past. And you're a feminist! You should know this kind of stuff!
