Discuss dead websites here.I found this really old anime website (waku.com) that seemed to collect lewd anime images, movies and doujinshi which they put on CDs and sold over the Internet. They seemed to start selling manga and toys later. There seems to have also been an Anime Picture Gallery with over 20801 entries and you could upload your own images there (sadly none survived). Most of the site has been archived poorly with barely any images surviving and the ancient server backend of the site causes a bunch of weird redirects to blank pages, but I managed to find these somewhat working pages:https://web.archive.org/web/19970412081402/http://www.waku.com/https://web.archive.org/web/19990127225054/http://www.waku.com/menu/center.idchttps://web.archive.org/web/19961214164143/http://www.waku.com/cdrom2.htmlAny oldfags that remember this site?
ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!
>>1I don't, but here's a site with a similar layout/aesthetic http://momo.hanya-n.net/
I miss when the western anime community was smaller and more niche, and the only anime the mainstream cared about was the super commercial shit like dragonball and pokemon. Nowadays you have a bunch of dipshits on Twitter making Jojo references like it's the height of comedy and a bunch of self proclaimed "gamers" with waifu avatars making untrue statements about Japanese culture to support their political views.
>>4Even kids that could be considered "normalfags" watched anime back in the day dude. Toonami started around the very end of the 90s, and school kids were already obsessed over shows like yu hakusho, dbz, sailor moon, tenchi muyo, etc. Then those same kids became teenagers in the early 2000s and that's where the loads and loads of autistic art galleries and fanfiction began. As far as the incompetent jojofags that can't pirate for shit and dream of going to Japan go, they'll move on from being retarded eventually; and then the next trend for autistic will come and you'll still be frothing at the mouth with anger. My advice to you would be to stop browsing twitter if all it does is get you riled up

>>7It'd be nice to stand here and go "Durr Hurr Hurr, I'm not a degenerate so Neo-Puritanism doesn't affect me!", but really I think everybody online is going to find themselves getting harassed unless they go out of their way to avoid major sites. The court of the online public do not honor due process, and accusation are enough to get a whole mob after a person. Cases where the accusations turn out to be correct (Like the recent Smash and Evo drama where to accused admitted their misconduct) will make the mob bolder, such that if the mob is proven to be wrong, they would likely just brush it off as nothing important.The solution seems to be "don't have nasty fetishes", but you and I know that nearly everyone online had skeletons in their closet. There are no saints here, but there are vigilantes.
The trouble is that there is no singular "mob". The web has so many people on it nowadays that, statistically, a no matter what you say or do, you'll have a million people who want you dead for it.
