It's called General Discussion.
Great name. Western Culture will be a place for Western animation, comics, and live action TV.Haseo wrote:
I actually think this is a good idea, but it's better off as a "Western Culture" thread. GD is way too general.
As you see, Osu! was pretty successful in the world with currently around 5,000 people online and for anime, Japanese culture, and manga. These people sometimes have their own taste in movies, live-actions, comics, and Western animation. Come on, we wouldn't want flood the "General Discussion" section with many threads posted, we want to give it some "space" someday though. "General Discussion" is nothing good normal talk and stuff on what's going on.James2250 wrote:
Yeah I have to disagree with this idea. The only reason we have the 'Otaku Culture' section is because 85%+ of the osu! community is highly interested in manga/anime etc.
If we made a western animation type section it would be basically empty and I just see it turning into another Off Topic with random posts. If you find something that is really interesting and you think the rest of the community would want to be involved in it, General Discussion should be fine.
Wont deny this quite yet just to see if anyone else has any opinions on it, but I don't see it happening.
Live-action TV, Western films, and westernized cartoons/comics has nothing to do with Otaku Culture. It has to do with additional group. I would be make few new threads if they have choice to add it on this forums. I could add "My Little Pony", 'Thundercats", and "Nickelodeon/TV networks" threads.ampzz wrote:
Otaku Culture is a generalised thread for anything to do with 'cartoons' or 'comics' as it isn't just denoted to Japanese cultural value only. Sure that +99% of it is based on the Japanese side of things but that does not mean it is only limited to that.
If people like the threads or themes of the topics they will discuss it in there, if not it becomes like a varied amount of them ad just gets forgotten.
For the other parts you're talking about there's the General Discussion and Off-Topic areas for that, same viewpoint as above.
As with other forums on the internet, it is a case of hit or miss with the chance of anything partially intelligible coming to light in posts or not.
You just have to try and hope.
Having more sub-forums creates overcrowded area on the index page which is a pain to deal with.
From a forum moderator side of things as it is yet another place they have to go through to ensure nothing is out of hand or breaching the rules.
Similar to the requests in this thread viewtopic.php?p=839642LuigiHann wrote:
I probably wouldn't bother calling it "Western Culture." I might just call it "Pop Culture" and have it deal with any music, movies, and TV that doesn't fit into the Otaku one. Similar concept but a bit more inclusive.
very convincing from someone with 'anime' in their name =\ (along with an obviously anime avatar ^_^)kokoroanime wrote:
That's what the name says.
We already have Otaku Culture for anime and manga, and for this time, we need couple of new forum section where we discuss about Western animation, comics, music, movies, live-action TV, news, sports, arts, and etc and it should be under the "Other" section of this Forums. That could be better if they have plans to add this as a new forum topic. But it needs to be added someday.
If y'all think it's a great thing to have in forums, support or vote if y'all like.
Thank you and good luck.

What makes works from Japan and other Eastern countries magically better than anything from the West? Dismissing anything from a more familiar place for being "tainted" is just ignorance, and there can be great minds and flaws on both sides, needless to say.Soly wrote:
