So for no real reason I decided to go and look at my past posts when I used to frequent this site called GaiaOnline, during my anime heyday. I haven't logged on in over 5 years, and I used to go on this site a lot when I was between the ages of 11-13. I. LITERALLY. CRINGED. My grammar, my spelling, the way I argued, the fact that all my post were a loud blue color, EVERYTHING was atrocious. I know I was a middle schooler and just discovering the internet but MAN those were dark days. I'll share a few of the things I wrote just for laughs:
Oh shut yer yappin! Some dubs *coughcoughkarincoughcough* are bad but many are good. Like haruhi, FMA, negima,naruto, and bleach. plus w/o dubs my little sis wouldn't be able to watch anime and that would be horrible."
This is not the worst out there but the manga never seems to go anywhere. The anime has horrible voice acting and gave me a headache. The art is so so but some shots look very ugly. It also has some very annoying characters that make you want to shoot them in the head. I'm not saying it's the worst but I really don't like it.
Ew. It's way too long and gets incredibly predictable later on. Kagome is the most annoying heroine ever. Akane was soo much better. Some annnoying themes are reccuring and it's always Kagome gets kidnapped blah blah blah random BS. Horrible. Rumiko Takahashi did a wonderful job on Ranma so what happened
I can't afford it so why shouldn't I steal it
Last one is the most cringeworthy, where I tried to justify piracy with probaby the dumbest reason ever. Can't believe I actually typed those words. I guess the only good thing about looking back at your past stupidity as a kid is that you can see how much you grew up and how much better you've gotten. I still have a lot of growing to do but GOD, at least now I can do better than this (and I no longer support piracy).
So share your stuff, what kind of stuff did you think or post when you were younger that makes you cringe now?
