Yesterday when it was dark out, my wife stepped barefoot onto a slug, she heard the squishy sound and it was all wet and slippery, ugh. Has to be top 10 of worst things ever, just below having no feed, shelter, war, etc..

I don't know about you, but I'd rather starve in a war-torn country than step barefoot on a slug.

fanservice: shows do things because people want to see them. whatever thing you're referring to made a bunch of people giddy.

Other people liking it does not make it not the worst thing ever.

If you're a fan, why wouldn't you like fan service? It's service for you.

I don't think it matters that it's called fan service.

I just don't like to have (soft) porn outside of porn. which is really what it is.

Why did this even become a thing. it's so stupid.

also if I'm really a fan it's even worse because then I feel guilty about spying on the character without their consent.

Have you ever tried watching Monogatari?

Me too. Once at the beach, I stepped on a dead fish skeleton. It was terrible. If I ever commit murder or become a dictator, tack it down to that mental trauma.

no. I've listened to a 1-hour analysis about the franchise, though.

[Awaclus]

no. I've listened to a 1-hour analysis about the franchise, though.

Well, then you probably at least know how much sexual fan service it has and how clever (as opposed to stupid) it is.

semi-vaguely. But then it doesn't fall under "pointless pandering fanservice" as described in the OP.

I guess that's true, but then what does fall under pointless pandering fan service? Doesn't all fan service have a point?

Take the fanservice in Gakkou Gurashi for example. It has a point, but the point is that people will like even despite it being dumb and out of place.

Like, we both know that most of the time it serves no narrative or symbolic purpose.

well idk what it does in monogateri.

let me rephrase. most of the time it serves no intelligent purpose.

Let's run with that analogy. cauliflower (I hope that's the right english term) is also one of the worst things ever. It's literally repulsive, I have to resist the urge to throw up when eating it. Of course, if you happen to like it, then it's different. If you happen to like fanservice for the sake of fanservice, have at it.

You should be kicked off the forums.

Cauliflower has its uses, and can actually be made into a healthy substitute for a lot of things. Like, cauliflower based pizza crust is pretty good (I mean, not as good as a normal crust, but still). Broccoli is awesome though. Steamed broccoli is my favorite vegetable (granted, I add a little butter and parmesan cheese).

[McGarnacle]

this discussion here, this thread is about Vegetables

[Seprix]

Any conversation about Cauliflower and sexy fan service is basically the worst thing of all time. I have crowned that discussion as the worst thing of all time. Nothing beats it in pure awfulness. Like, more interesting discussion could be gleaned on how best to castrate Stalin, or why having sex with a cactus is a bad idea. Basically, think of the worst thing possible. Then, think about cauliflower and sexy fan service. Literally nothing beats that.

[Awaclus]

But cauliflower is good and sexy fan service is great.

well idk what it does in monogateri.

It contributes towards the overall atmosphere being more sexual. That is the main purpose as I see it.

[Asper]

Cauliflower is one of my favourite vegetables. What i can't stand is salad. It makes me feel like i'm eating leaves.

Also, the worst thing ever (that isn't an actually bad thing like death, war or genocide) is obviously the omnipresence of a certain movie franchise which i'm not going to name.

Transformers? It's Transformers isn't it?

Also, brussel sprouts are clearly the Worst Thing Ever.

[jonts26]

Brussels sprouts are amazing when cooked right. But they're pretty easy to screw up.

Was it you or Ashersky that hated Firefly with a passion?

Also, I can ship you and Ashersky with relative ease. The ship is called "Aspersky", and it involves cauliflower.
