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.
It's understandable what you said, but we still gotta our opinions about this though.
