Honestly? I guess I thought people could behave with a little thoughtfulness, here of all places. Too much to ask, I guess.

Could be that the Greater Internet F***wad Theory is rearing its ugly head again!

That theory holds true most cases.   


I got a friendly reception on one of my youtube videos:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rjpGN1cufLQ   ( look at the comments from angry anonymous asian guys )

[Nikolas]

Lovely video indeed mate... (No, I really liked it).

There are internet places which are the gathering place of all vulgarity: youtube, deviant, myspace, etc. Anything popular. AGS is not really popular (far from it), so no problem really...

[m0ds]

Indeed, but its not like profile owners have to keep the vulgar messages.

It's like spam email, in most cases we're all gonna get it, and in every case we delete it. I see vulgar comments on youtube etc as the same. Easily deleteable & forgetable, turning your page/profile into a much nicer, safer environment

Perhaps you need to do a little pruning evenwolf

We don't "need" a balance of good comments and bad. They're your videos, like my videos are mine, and I only accept the good comments, or ones that are constructive. But then I'm just used to deleting thoughtless comments and crap from moderating these boards for however long...

You'd be surpsied though. There is un-ncecessary vulgarity at AGS, but the mods wipe it out very, very quickly, or make sure it's dealt with in private.

[evenwolf]

Letting the comments stand is actually empowering.   There are certain things I might "prune" but the envious asian guys obviously need somewhere to vent.     It was an issue I was never aware of, this "yellow fever" thing.

It's amazing how adamant some of the posts have been toward asian females.  Telling them never to date a white guy.  Unbelievable.

I never meant for the comment to actually be taken as scary. I certainly intended it as an awkward and repulsive comment, but never scary. If I wanted to be scary I would post pictures of myself online. Without a shirt.

Besides, we all know that this is true:

No worries, monkey05_06. I'd say you more than met your aim!

evenwolf: I can't view your video; it crashed my browser. Did you set up something to disallow Asian chicks from viewing it?

Even having not seen the video though, I do understand the Asian guys' reactions. There is a class of girls that still have the colonial-worship mentality going on, and they adore white guys just because they're white. Other white guys who live here don't understand it - back home they're nerdy goofs, but here they are suddenly elevated to exotic sex gods. But they're not gonna argue with it. I imagine that pisses off the local guys quite a bit. Your video was probably the unfortunate trigger that made them vent in your comments.

edit: I managed to watch the vid! I loved it. XD And I have to wonder why the haters chose this video as their battleground... but heck, it's Youtube. The people there don't need a reason for anything.

Makes me really treasure the AGS forums and its (relative) safety.

Sorry, where EXACTLY are you referring to? And how much is a ticket

I've been told we were targeted by a group on Facebook.    I've been searching for it to no avail:  "Asian Guys Who Aren't Helping Their Chances With Women By Attempting to Limit Asian Women To Date Only Themselves."

One day when women of a specific race ONLY date asian guys I'm totally calling bullshit.   These guys have alot of internet balls.

Evenwolf, I think the facebook thread is: "Asian guys against white dating Asain girls".  As said by Garric1 (1 year ago).
I think they are stupid people who can't take a joke.  The video was great.

Honestly though, if an Asian guy made a video on how to pick up Canadian girls by using--oh let's say--snow shoes; I would get a good laugh from it.  These guys need to relax.

[The Ivy]

Yeah, members like myself, The Ivy, gypsysnail, brokenbutterfly, Nightfable etc. are highly evolved spam robots that make games on the side.

Silence, auriond. Initiate phase 2.

[monkey0506]

I love phase 2. That's the one where you all drop the female disguises and start shooting everyone with lasers right? Can I sing The Doom Song?

[SSH]

It's not that women on the internet are all robots in disguise, its women in general....

There are many copies, but only 12 models
