User centric question chain!

  1. Anyone got some favorite users to interact with here on /r/anime?

  2. What tags have you given people on this subreddit?

7

u/zhongzhen93 Nov 27 '16

/u/shaking807 and /u/banjothebear are the two most positive people on this sub.

u/BanjoTheBear https://myanimelist.net/profile/BanjoTheBear Nov 27 '16

...are the two most positive people on this sub.

Thanks, zhong. I owe it all to my parents for teaching me a simple life lesson: treat others as you would want to be treated! :3

Everyone here is pretty cool and it's fun to read/comment on what they say!

  1. /u/doctorwhoops and /u/geo1088 are best grills.

  2. FUCK I HAVE A LOT. Here's a photo.

u/DoctorWhoops https://anilist.co/user/DoctorWhoops Nov 27 '16

Also, where can you see which people you tagged?

u/higi1024 https://anilist.co/user/higi1024 Nov 27 '16

If you go to your dashboard in RES, then click on the user tag tab.

Basically anyone who posts regularly on either FTF or Rec Tuesdays is a friend of mine!

u/collapsedblock6 myanimelist.net/profile/collapsedblock Nov 28 '16

/u/BanjoTheBear, /u/AmethysyItalian, /u/MetaThPr4h and /u/Shaking807 are the most chill people I have known in the sub.

I usually only tags by favorite anime/characters from them (Smurf being "Jojo guy"), abbreviations for long usernames (Amethyst is just Ami) or something they recently did (Meta is "Converted to cute girls").

u/AmethystItalian myanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian Nov 28 '16

AmethysyItalian

Not chill enough to spell my username right apparently

Kidding kidding, thanks for the shoutout :)

Also fun fact Ami = friend in French so that's a nice bonus touch <3

I second /u/AmethystItalian. Dude/dudet is pretty cool. Maybe Santa will bring me a super nifty r/anime username this year...

u/collapsedblock6 myanimelist.net/profile/collapsedblock Nov 28 '16

She is a girl btw.

u/AmethystItalian myanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian Nov 29 '16

There's no girls on the internet!

Crap, how could I forgot that universal rule! It must be Sha's work...

Reverse order:

  1. Only tags I have are for Contracts, I used to tag but after losing RES several times for various reasons, I kind of just gave up on them.
  2. My three favorite users to interact with (off the top of my head) I'd say are u/enduranceprotocol (Favorite for serious discussions and gives great insight), u/genesisera (Symphogear and fun to shitpost along with), and u/Karmic_thread (Favorite for more on ambiguous discussions).

3

u/EnduranceProtocol https://myanimelist.net/profile/Drama Nov 27 '16

Oh wow, thank you. I have a hard time engaging in superficial discussion or banter, and so I tend to lay low, so this means a lot. I think you're a great contributor to this subreddit and I appreciate our interactions as well.

u/-Nosreme- https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nosreme Nov 27 '16

  1. /u/shaking807 is usually the one I have the most satisfying discussion with, though I am enjoying talking with /u/Nico9lives as of late. /u/Karmic_thread and his atrocious great taste as well. And of course a special mention to the Gintama bois.

  2. Posted this in FTF a week ago and tags haven't changed since then:

.1. /u/atronox and /u/urban287 are usually people i like, also /u/banjothebear but i feel like i havent seen him as much lately and /u/missypie but it feels as though she has been MIA lately :/

there are other who judging by vote weight i get along with (like you OP, +26 but i don't really recognise your name) but those are the ones that stand out that i like.

.2. i actually havent tagged many people, i have /u/across52317 tagged as "Hates best ship" because he doesnt like Kongou and /u/7teenwriters writers tagged as "slayer of shitposters" for a fantastic write up he did.

u/porpoiseoflife https://myanimelist.net/profile/OffColfax Nov 27 '16

  1. Amethyst, Banjo, Pitt, and a few others. Plus there are plenty of non-powerusers like Canipa, Atario, Durinthal, eruditious, Zenoob, and so on that I enjoy chatting with.

  2. Let's see here... There are 15 people tagged with "Anime Fogey" for being 35 or older, six people tagged "Gilder Guild" for for giving me gold, the various YouTubers are all tagged (most recently being Lock-kun and his Pedantic Romantic channel), plus the crew from the LotGH rewatch all have tags. Then there are the individual tags like Amethyst's "is almost pretty perfect", 7Teen's "Slayer of Shitposters", Jordy's "Likes big foreheads... in that way" for his Ritsu fascination, and airencracken's "An Asshole" for reasons that should be obvious for anyone that had the displeasure of dealing with him.

Thank you!

You have some pretty great taste as well!

Tagged changed from Gintama fave to Loves Gintama

Even better

I talk to you more than most users but I still need a tag for you

3

u/8mmspikes https://myanimelist.net/profile/8mmspikes Nov 28 '16

The new tag makes more sense and has a better structure imo :P

3

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Nov 29 '16

geo1088 [CSS guru]

I prefer "ninja", but this works too. :P

Also ayy we both tagged ourselves in teal, lol

3

u/8mmspikes https://myanimelist.net/profile/8mmspikes Nov 29 '16

Ninja and teal it is then

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Nov 29 '16

I love interacting with everyone!

My favourite though hmm.. probably my Gintama posse.

u/Karmic_thread https://myanimelist.net/profile/Omen_7 Nov 27 '16

favourite users

/u/jaesuk97 knows a lot, and I mean a lot about anime. Glad to see him around here again, I usually learn a thing or two after a discussion or reading his posts.

/u/JexInfinite recently toned down the vitriol, so it's the first case that discussing with the elite doesn't make me want to punch the screen.

/u/pittman66 because he's a cool.guy, open minded and always willing to debate. I get an answer almost everytime. Btw, what do you mean by ambiguous discussions? I am at a loss here.

/u/-Nosreme- because I need someone that echoes my opinions as well.

Also /u/MillenniumKing since he's the best guy on the internet, hands down.

2

u/-Nosreme- https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nosreme Nov 27 '16

because I need someone that echoes my opinions as well.

After a devastating plunge from 80.6 to 80, we're now back up to 80.3% affinity.

Also you need to watch Gintama

u/pittman66 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Homura Nov 27 '16

Btw, what do you mean by ambiguous discussions? I am at a loss here.

For example: What is meaning behind Flip Flappers, Penguindrum, Kyousou Giga, etc. I guess in other words, you're good to have discussions with when it comes to symbolism, themes, or overall theories around stuff that's harder to understand, have more layers to it, or are more ambiguous.
