Oh I just ignore their blogging of Anime in general. The general publics ideas of anime are so beyond jaded thanks both to early anime in general (being either really kiddy fair or hentai) or more often stupidity on the subject so thus generalization.

Your honestly more likely to see a true conversation about anime on Kotaku, then io9. What I find hilarious is io9s generalization of anime=hentai yet their constant blogging of poor skinimax skin flicks as if one is bad and the other is perfectly acceptable.

This is the same Giz that encourages their readers ‘it’s easy to pwn your iPhone.. then publishes a whoopsie article after things backfire:

I used to think journalists were creeps [ala Adam Curtis / Charlie Brooker]. Seems Giz bloggers have the same disease.

And don’t get me started about io9 and anytime they decide to blog about anime.

The story of international fuckdoll-philia is not complete without Skippystalin’s take on it:

It was that post that inspired me to keep my own archive of his shit for re-reading.

Well, I think the speakers are awesome. Those geeks are so worried about getting laid, they’re pretending they know what would turn women off. And of course, they make the sexist assumption that only a man would want one.

You know, I like to think of myself as the planet’s most non-judgemental redneck. If it gets people off, I’m down with it – but I have to confess that the whole sex doll thing weirds me out just a *little* bit.

Having said that, getting called a “complete creepbag” by Gizmodo is high praise indeed. I envy you that one.

Dont sweat it, Nick is doing his best to destroy the Gawker sights with irrelevant bloggers being kept while the good ones are kicked to the curb and constant stories of Jobs has cancer even when he doesnt.

I have almost completely given up on Giz and Gawker in general. Only io9 has had anything of interest to me.
