Jasonc Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Pete, if I agree with your fight stupid with stupid, does that mean we're following your cult now? Do I sense a hostile takover? We probably should give them something to flock over and slobber over. With the franchise being nothing right now but a rumor factory, giving them something to stumble over would be quite fun. What's even more funny, is that even if they read these posts, which I'm sure they do, they'd probably still act out like little half wits. Well, if you decide to do it, I'm in.

Kyp Durron Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I know the truth about the first airing of The New Generaton... Corg gets turned into paste by a Cyclone mini-missle. I've had a running battle over at Robotch.com on the subject, and I'll be just as glad to have one here, which will not be stopped until Carl Mecek himself settles the arguement. I can stop it right now. *Puts Wanzerfan in ignore user list. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seto Kaiba Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 That's really over thinking the situation in Southern Cross. I imagine the writers for the show hadn't even heard of those three-letter acronyms military sci-fi fans liked to throw around. It's really just a bunch of plucky protagonists going against those in charge. I'm inclined to agree, but remember that I'm just reiterating what the few Southern Cross fans I've encountered have said about their reasons for loving the series. I think the ANN review said it best when it regarded the Southern Cross forces as being your typical sci-fi military with super relaxed standards. I find it pretty unnerving when Robotech fans actually believe the show is a serious hardcore space opera. I've never understood that either... the more vocal Robotech fans have this crazy desire to make the show out to be some kind of serious space opera. I guess it's another one of those things they've convinced themselves are true in order to prop up the belief that Robotech is a wildly popular epic story instead of a forgotten, anachronistic, highly disorganized patchwork of unrelated shows that has post-facto pretensions to epicness. Hail Seto, down with HG, up with Sheryl's Boobs. Would someone please remind Pete that we're not a real cult... also, shouldn't it be more like "down with HG" and "out with Sheryl's boobs"? We probably should give them something to flock over and slobber over. With the franchise being nothing right now but a rumor factory, giving them something to stumble over would be quite fun. What's even more funny, is that even if they read these posts, which I'm sure they do, they'd probably still act out like little half wits. You have no idea... half of what was causing Pizza the Hutt to act out like he did was what we were saying about him and MEMO here. its kinda funny if RT fans are referring to Macross fans as a cult, considering we probably outnumber them 10-1 worldwide. I actually got accused of trolling once by a user called "sanman" on RT.com after I pointed out that Macross is usually listed as a "must-watch" title when people ask for recommendations on mecha anime, and Robotech is generally reviled by those same crowds... he told me I was a liar and that I was clearly just there to harsh his buzz. I don't think they want to know they truth, they just want to continue deluding themselves. Sounds like fun to me! Too bad my real life is no where near that exciting. Young girls, cults, legions of groupies - a sense of brotherhood and kinsmanship - part of a marauding army... Okay, so /b/ isn't my personal army, but MacrossWorld is? Trust me, you have no idea the havoc a "nobody" can cause in what's left of the Robotech fandom. I'm a nobody too, at least according to Doug Bendo, and yet while doing nothing more than telling the simple truth about the legal situation surrounding Macross and the current standing of Robotech, I've caused a veritable panic and sent Tommy Yune, Steve Yun, Kevin McKeever, MEMO1DOMINION, Maverick_LSC, Pizza the Hutt, Doug Bendo, and a half dozen others scrambling to put a stop to my "dangerous ideas" by any means necessary. To Robotech fans, I'm practically a one-man army waging war against their little fantasy world... and I didn't even need a mask and a goofy alias to do it! Though with all the Robotech fans talking about me being the leader of a sinister cult, the sovereign of some guild of calamitous intent (and I'm not even David Bowie!), and the dark lord of an unspeakable army of malicious beings that feed on human suffering, going back to school to get my PhD seems almost like a step backwards. Maybe I should get a nice tailored suit of ominous-looking armor and start building my conquering army for the Ragnarok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protoculture Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Protoculture is another RT.com member, don't know if he has the same handle here or is even on this site... but he's another one of those "expert fans" from RT.com.

And a few msg boards I no longer bothered to visit anymore (RTX is sharing the same fate). I'm not an expert, but simply hardcore RT purist (who choose OSM in defining RT-verse - practically the animation is the Gospel). But being purist is no fun, since being close to OSM, I enjoyed closer affinity to original animation that made up RT. Besides, I'm burnt out on RT (& Macross to a certain extent).

Well, just about nobody worth a damn wastes their time on RT.com anymore, and RTX is quickly going the same way now that MEMO1DOMINION has banned a bunch of people, announced his intention to unban Doug Bendo once he gets over this perceived podcast war with JT, and appointed Maverick_LSC a moderator on RobotechX. The last bastion of sensible Robotech fans is effectively dead, it's all in the hands of the trolls, the purists, and the Harmony Gold bootlickers now.

Seto Kaiba Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) I step out for a few months and when I come back Mike's a cult leader? Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are by this whole turn of affairs. Some members of the Robotech lunatic fringe got it into their heads that I was the leader of some kind of cabal of Macross purists, and then they changed their mind and said Macross fandom was a cult and I'm its leader. Now they're accusing me of being the sinister force behind this new Robotech podcast called The Protoculture Times. Apparently my influence is such that I can lead the host around by the nose and make him say whatever I want, despite the fact that this guy's apparently on fairly good terms with some of the biggest non-idiot names in the Robotech fandom. I can only guess why, but the Robotech die-hards clearly think I have ridiculous amounts of clout. Geez, how come those RT boards don't have anymore nonsense to laugh at? I hope our subversive cult powers make them all come out and start acting like morons,,, I mean normal again. Well... in order for the RT boards to produce nonsense for us to laugh at they'd have to have active members, and those are in extremely short supply now that most Robotech fansite admins go ban-crazy at the first sign of anything that even remotely resembles a dissenting opinion. Now all that's really left of the online Robotech fanbase are the blind faithful who'll believe any damn thing Harmony Gold tells them and buy anything so long as the word "Robotech" is written on the box, the members of the lunatic fringe who genuinely believe Robotech is wildly popular and lash out at anything that threatens to taint their rose-tinted childhood memories of Robotech, and a few decent people with open minds and realistic views of the franchise and its creators who are being driven away from the fandom by the idiot behavior of the other two groups. Once a Robotech fansite has whittled its population down to just those people who all share the same views, they become very quiet because they have nothing to talk about... hence the lack of nonsense to laugh at. Anyways.... what's the difference between a snuggie and a bath robe that happens to be made out of warm material Something to tie it closed? And to keep it on topic: How long is the SDF-1? Not bigger than 16mm... after all, that's the size of the film stock the show was recorded on. Edited December 8, 2009 by Seto Kaiba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
