Well I'd replace that name with just about anyone with fans to any degree.
I have no problem with Sakura--she's not useless, but she wasn't given WAAAAY too much power & sucked into the "DBZ Effect" like several others. Just because she's not at an ungodly level doesn't mean she's weak. I wouldn't use hype or fan/hater bias but there are a LOT of people who do.

THAT is yanking.
That people are "godly" doesn't mean its DBZ

I thank you for posting

We don't need 10 threads a day stating why Sakura is useful. If you think she is useful then good for you, but don't try to shove that shit down people's throats because no one praises it.

Constantly Mentioning the non existing powers of a character which are ironically either made up by the fan, or simply misunderstood in the manga due the lack of reading comprehension is what I describe as "wanking".

I'm guessing you took the ending in ME3 where you took control of the reapers?
Well I have no quarrel when blowing those sick *BEEPS* to hell. But the Catalyst was using flawed logic in an unsolvable problem and had a point. The peace wouldn't last. As horrible as the Reapers were they were literally the best case scenario. They slaughtered millions upon billions yet they thought they were making sure organic life continued to live on. And in a weird way they did. When it would inevitably happen again, these new synthetics would probably not be as sympathetic or have the same motivation as the Reapers.

Control doesn't solve the problem, just one of the side-effects. BUT with Shepard as the AI, the Reapers now have the closest thing to morality as an AI can have (like EDI). Also I hated destroying EDI & the Geth after trying so hard/long to get them and the Quarians to work together.

Synthesis is ideal but it's also amoral to an extent and I really wouldn't want all of those husked species to have self-awareness. Husks, Banshees, Brutes and Cannables part of society? I'd actually feel SORRY for those guys.

If the Reaper forces were "salvageable" in a way I'd agree with synthesis as the best of the 3. But I still wouldn't want the Reaper AI in control so I'd plan on control first then Synthesis later. Screw you, catalyst!

You probably misunderstand. The "DBZ Effect" is when a strong enemy shows up, main character(s) get stronger to deffeat it, new and stronger villain shows up, wash rinse repeat until the main character is rediculously OP. Same with Naruto. Raditz was a threat and then Nappa/Vegeta. But what are they compared to perfect cell or Buu?
Just because, say, Krillin seems like a joke in comparisson doesn't mean he's weak.

Would YOU want to fight him? I wouldn't! Could he manage to beat villains like Nappa that started off ludicrously powerful when the series was in its first saga? Just because Krillin or Sakura or Hiruzen or someone else isn't the most powerful it doesn't mean we should discredit them--and we should always keep in mind that the only reason the main heroes and villains at the end are so powerful are because of the build of power (that shouldn't have climbed that high in my opinion) that climbed for over a decade.

It was a tough decision alright. I literally sat there thinking about it for a good while. The bit where you had to choose which team members to bring with you to charge was horrible too.

I didn't even play the first 2 games and the endings annoyed me. I couldn't the perfect military either due to shitty internet.

I have to admit, I really had to go with the destruction option. It just seemed like the classical thing to do. I hoped for the best case scenario and that the fleet would survive somehow. Quickly regretted that though XD it was thought provoking though, evendown to Joker and EDI. That is until ya see how each ending is crappy in its own way.

Your avvy and morales just caught my attention. There's a new ME coming out btw.

One wanks a character when uses Hype as afeat and continues to state is as a fact.
Also when one goes overboards about what the character can actually do.


A prime example of this are sakura fans, clearly a delusional folks and a little to no comprehension of whats going on :)

^ His sig would be a fine example of wanking :lol

Wanking is more of constant bragging of said character and twisting/exaggerating information given from the manga

Stating facts and wanking are two different things. Stating facts comes from BOTH directions and the ability to accept the other side. Wanking is stating "possible" facts, that might not actually be facts, but completely ignoring any contrary opinions. An open mind see's both clearly but still sticks to his side unless he is proven wrong, in which case a grown man says "thank you for informing me" and moves on with his life...

"Hinata have bijuu level chakra".

Only lady byakugan and her followers would say such things :lmao:

OT:Wanking is just overhyping, you can state facts but if you go beyond stating facts and just plain overhype the characters because of said facts, then it's wanking. An example are prime hiruzen fans, his feats are true, but they continuously used to post about it non-stop which was in essence wanking. Wanking could also be stretching what your fave can do to the extreme that isn't even stated nor implied or it may be implied so you go off of that, that's also wanking. The biggest wankers on the base is a tied four of Electric Bagaloo one of the biggest Sasuke wankers, Femme whom is the biggest Sakura wanker, Lady Byakugan the biggest hyuga/Hinata wanker you will ever encounter, pray you never do and you can't forget Fapsula himself, his user is Michael, used to be Lesula but he is one of the biggest Naruto wankers known to man. That's just the big four so far imo. They are rivaled only by hiruzen and Itachi fans that still, to this day, believe in the yata and totsuka hype.
