Not true. As long as I've been going to conventions there has been furry art and furry fans, and that's well before the internet. Every subculture has gotten more organized since the advent of the internet, that's the power of the thing. But trust me, you have predecessors that are older than you realize.

Wrong. Barbara was crippled in TKJ purely as motivation fodder for Batman and never intended to be seen again. She could have died off panel for all anyone cared at that point. Someone else entirely in a completely different title decided to springboard off of that story and salvage something from Barbara's discarded…

Well one of his earliest roles involved him being bitten by a hot older female vampire...

Perhaps so, but I'm pretty sure the EU has been wiped clean post the Disney acquisition. And it's perfectly acceptable to call a non-film novel out as dubious at best —after all, who wants to have to accept The Crystal Star and other such nonsense? But you are technically correct.

That's non-canon fanwank. The original line was pretty much a throwaway and had no backstory behind it at all. It might be a mistake, it might be a hint that Solo was talking shit. We'll never know and Lucas won't tell even if he himself remembers.

The whole "black hole cluster!" thing was retconned in many years later.

So the "official romanization" is wrong. It doesn't match what the word actually is, as pronounced by the Japanese themselves. They might choose to write it "Aerith" for some incomprehensible reason, but that's not how how it's pronounced. Aeris is far closer to what they actually say, and that is how I will continue…

Not true. The Japanese can't even SAY "Aerith" since they don't have the "th" sound in their language. Her name in Japanese ends in the syllable "-su" which is usually clipped to just an S sound. They don't say "Aerith" at all.

Here is a Japanese person pronouncing her name:

This might sound like a glib, sarcastic punchline to a bad joke, but I mean it...

This is some serious bullshit here. Is the sport played with genitals? Do the male players hit the soccer ball with their dick? Your position is blatantly sexist and utterly disgusting.

No thanks, you keep it!

That's what the dogs and motorcycle guys the author didn't seem to comprehend the purpose for were there to do. They herded the runners where they wanted. So if say Buzzkill would have been first or whatever, they'd have chased them into the appropriate area. Subzero was chosen, so the runners were herded into his…

Cuz these kids are too young to remember context like that. The Gilligan's Island joke probably sailed right over his head as well.

Actually they got the word out to the people about what the regime was really like. And that they'd ordered the slaughter of 1500 people during a food riot. The broadcast most likely sparked a general revolt.

Such a beautiful kitty! Starred for the gif alone :)

I repeat:

I've already told you I won't be responding to any more of your trolling bullshit. Good day sir.

Dork, geek, nerd, and liberal, yep I damned well am. I am indeed a gamer and computer hobbyist, and into sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and other associated genre work. I'm also heavily involved in my own creative work in those genres, as an amateur hobbyist at this time looking to turn pro. Do you expect me to deny it?…

You're seriously gonna follow me from thread to thread now? Are you that butthurt over getting your ass handed to you in that debate? Is ad hominem and lame attempts at grade school level bullying all you really have to show for yourself?

Did you hear that? It was the sound of the point flying completely over your head, which coincidentally is lodged firmly in your classist ass.

Damn right!
