Lying != trolling

What kind of trolling is that anyway? People didn't care when they admitted to ripping stuff off Crunchyroll, and most fans know they're lying anyway so almost nobody fell for it. It's common knowledge. Far too poor an attempt to be a troll.

Yes you can lie to troll people.

Yeah you can post BS on your about page and then do something quite opposite and when people get confused or catch you out supposedly you smirk at them and tell them their favourite anime is sheet. ;) and they're too serious about the whole BS anyway.

I think that's pretty funny myself. They just trolled us here. On a different forum nogal.

Yeah you can lie to troll people but what I'm saying is that in this case it isn't. Damn near everybody that frequents myanimelist, r/anime and CR (three of if not the biggest three English speaking anime communities) know that Horriblesubs just rips off CR and Funi, so that "troll" catches out either people that are very new to anime or people that never pirate, which is hardly anybody. I think it's just a poor attempt to cover their asses. Almost nobody was fooled by this "troll" even for a second.

People who never pirate will not argue over what HS is. They won't even know HS.

Of course it's an excellent troll which is still delivering in this thread. And what do you mean nobody was fooled? How do you know that? And what makes you think one even needs to be fooled for a troll to be successful. Trolling involves a variety of tactics including misinformation. You could not be fooled and then go on ranting to everyone about how silly these guys are only to be told - No shirt, Captain Obvious, what did you expect?

Re: MAL. I sometimes visit MyAnimeList to see character listings and for spoilers in the forum section. The comments are of a terrible quality. But so far I've not seen anything about HS. I generally tend to avoid these sort of "reviews" as usually they have not much insight to deliver. Besides as Dao, says, "your favourite anime is sh-t". :)

Basically people will be insulted on HS and will still come back. Because they download that stuff.

It's not as bad as SomethingAwful where the forums are premium access, but it's still for suckers for punishment. And Dao does make it clear that he bans people too, but he can unban them, in all his magnanimity.

It's not "delivering", the only reason we're still talking about it is because you insist on arguing about everyting. If you regularly browse those sites you'd know. It's common knowledge, just like "Pitbull would tap anything" or "TK is full of BS posts" is common knowledge on MyBB.

EDIT:

An another thing, the "your favourite anime is shyte" thing isn't a troll. It was to stop BS circular arguments breaking out in the comments about why one anime was better than another. It basically was meant to tell people that we all like different stuff and that's OK. Again if you were a regular, you'd know.

Here's the announcement that kicked it off:

I think you project. And shift the goal posts too much.

It's delivering even before this. Before you went on and on about the stupid mistake you made about how trolling is not lying. ;) Which only shows you have some strange notions of trolling in your head. Your tenacity here is just a bonus.

No, it's not common knowledge that Pitbull would tap anything unless you read certain sub forums on this site. I mainly read the IT stuff, news stuff, PD stuff and very few OT issues. You can see me comment only on certain topics. I usually stay away from the low brow/gutter stuff. Also I would need to fixate on Pitbull etc to remember this about him. I have a MyBB account since 2012 and I didn't know this.

In the same way it's not apparent from reading CR forums - unless you basically live there - or MAL (the same) that HS is just ripping Funimation/CR/Daisuki etc.

Quite a few people have pointed this out to you, you may want to listen ;)

And yes, you can lie without trolling.

People relax, no need to beat around a dead fish and be baka about it. If HR want to be so mazui about it, then why not? Its still derp subs and the people who have anime-love shouldn't be all underwater about it. Anime watchers practically flock together like old commies so in no time they know or learn quickly that HR aren't fffabulous with their many shows and seemingly unlimited translation work, its pretty vivid that they suck, and here you busy making them out to be in everyone's final 8 with GG no re. Keep your doki and go watch a nyaa cat. At this rate you guys are going to argue about which colour me in's are better, don't pull a tsundere on this thread either.

Did you come up with this yourself? It's /a/ level copypasta quality :D

Those people have not been correct. They asserted goal post shifting but that's because these people have not understood the arguments and pretended to do so.

And yes, you can lie without trolling.

Yes you can, but you can't argue that a lie can't be used to troll or at least you haven't shown it. And following who posted this, Dao, it's clear he is in it for the lulz and emotional responses. Dao is not autistic. Secondly he and his crew are not idiots. The whole tone of their comments and about pages are pretty outrageous.

Hence I mentioned him at least twice. But you're too sure of your BS pseudo knowledge to read anybody charitably, especially your betters and you bring up really ridiculous non sequiturs.

Yeah right, everybody else is wrong except you Space_Chief. :rolleyes:

I specifically said in this case it is not trolling, you're the constant goalpost shifter. Anyway I think I've humoured you enough for today.

You said: "There's no trolling here, just straight up lying."

Of course judging by how Dao behaves and talks it's a troll. If they are not really fansubbing, they are lying AND trolling. Otherwise we must assume they are that naive and that stupid as you say, which I doubt they are. It does not fit given everything else including their tone and competencies.

You said also:

Lying != trolling

Haha.... no kidding. But the two are compatible.

What kind of trolling is that anyway? People didn't care when they admitted to ripping stuff off Crunchyroll, and most fans know they're lying anyway so almost nobody fell for it. It's common knowledge. Far too poor an attempt to be a troll.

They're just doing it for the lulz. That's trolling. Just to fark with people, and they are farking with you. You got upset about it here. Nice troll. A teenager like Dao kicks your a-s. :)

I haven't shifted any goal posts here. I said this sounds to me like a troll and you disagreed for an irrational reason, that because a lie was used this could not be a troll. Which is total BS. Because lies can be used to mess with people. And you started this argument, an argument you lost. You lose all arguments with me. ;)

Oho now I see. Your motivation is to "win" BS arguments with people you don't even know. Fkn lol that's another level of sad dude. No wonder you have to have the last word with everyone you talk to here, and "win" by deliberately misinterpreting their posts no matter how many times they repeat themselves.

I post on MyBB for lulz, to share my opinion, hear other people's opinions, shytepost in TK and occasionally participate in debate. Being proud of "winning" arguments online is juvenile in the extreme.
