Have you ever revealed your power level in public...

That's you dude.

I got into a 20-minute argument with an MCU fan as to whether not Carol could beat Superman.

I giggled
Good on you for at least inquiring why, it too long.
Should have just said, "that's cool, can I ask why? Im not gana freak or anything, im just curious"

FELLAS FELLAS
you both stink of shit

You should have said "Ah, fair enough. Honestly you were throwing up some pretty big red flags too." and then just left.

>but the fact that you were so open about it on a first date, it really demonstrated poor judgement, and that was no good for me.
So she dumped you for being honest?

It depends, what kind of comics do you read?

she asked about hobbies.

I seriously can’t imagine willingly bringing up Yea Forums, or Yea Forums in general, in a conversation.

I'm a huge Yea Forums fag and I've known like three guys that enjoy comics to the extent that I do. Comics are a much rarer hobby nowadays than we think.

>you tell her about the 4chins
>she accuses you of being a pedophile nazi
>you tell her that you're a good boy, and you report pedophile and nazi posts for breaking the rules
>she accuses you of being a snitch
I JUST CAN'T WIN!

Eh, it's nothing special or super egregious. He's just someone who either can't or refuses to hide his power level. He has a RWBY hand towel warmer thing and has mentioned the show numerous times to people who would clearly have no idea what it was. In addition to his numerous attempts to try and get people to ask him about his AAA League of Legends team.

After he realized no one cared about either of those things, he started communicating entirely in the language of "wow, guys, isn't _X_ so annoying?"

Basically, I'm saying I use him as justification to why I hide my power level.

You were too honest too fast about a hobby like that. Didn’t help you mentioned it by using Yea Forums. Most chicks I’ve been with didn’t even know until they were in my room and saw my closet of comics

I hesitantly mentioned liking video games yesterday while talking to this girl, she asked me which kinds of games I enjoyed, we talked a bit and turns out she really likes vidya and said she wants to play some coop stuff online with me.

I would say being open is good, but honestly it's the first time this happened, they usually completely ignore it or are like "I like it but I don't really know how to play anything haha" and we change the subject.

That's autism. No good pretending otherwise.

You go with olympic swimming or wood carving, not fucking video games.

I have shown my gf this place, I explained alota shit about Yea Forums, shitposting, pointless arguements, dubs, she thought it was funny

Reading comics didn’t become cool, watching comic book movies did. People who call themselves are being ironic. None of them would even know who the fuck bendis is, even without meming

>In addition to his numerous attempts to try and get people to ask him about his AAA League of Legends team.
This stood out to me for some reason.

user, what the fuck? I often browse throught Yea Forums in public, but when someone ask me what it is I always answer: It's a forum but anonymous, if they start to ask more question I say "we discuss about cartoons and comics" just like that, you don't have to talk about the masive amount of retardation that is this place, for god sake.

I could tell her that my hobby is being a billionaire philanthropist, but it'd also be a lie.

>
what ass hat means is, you don't lie, but maybe go with hobbies that don't seem like total time wasters, like telling someone you watch tv as a hobby.

You're a good guy, user. Don't listen to her, find someone who'll enjoy your openness.

That being said, I find american dating culture so weird and alien. Is that really a normal thing? To arrange a formal first date, talk a bit and then decide if there's going to be a second date?

Usually here (I'm brazilian) you'll strike up conversation however you can when you first meet, like at a party, college, or even online, and then arrange some informal meet up like "oh, I'm going out for drinks next thursday, wanna hang?" and she'll either make up an excuse or join you, which by then BOTH parties are fully aware that BANGING IS A GO. Okay, maybe not that extreme, but there will definitely be some making out at some point.

Wood carving is autistic as fuck, though. Intense focus, lots of time required, high skill level yet little practical benefit, and most importantly, completely uninteresting to normal people.

Seriously, whenever a chick asks you about hobbies go for something common you actually do. Saying you’re basically an all day shitposter just says you’re boring

>He has a RWBY hand towel warmer thing
Is the show even popular enough that it validates such merchandise?

Yeah, it's a shame. A couple weeks ago I met a morrisonfag at a party and we were both drunk as hell and giggling like children talking about capeshit and 90s comics, it was such a cool exchange.

>muh unfiltered honesty
This really isn't an impressive trait.

>if they start to ask more question I say "we discuss about cartoons and comics"
I don't even go that far, I just say it's about hobbies of all sorts before naming off a few normie things like cars, tech, travel, etc.

I think a lot of Americans date exactly like you described in Brazil, but there are also a lot of people who arrange formal dates. I used to do Brazilian sytle dating when I was in high school, and I could meet a lot of girls organically. Now I work in an all male environment, and I hate going to bars/clubs, so I date more formally.

Burger here, what you posted is usually how it goes here (though that women in the other post sounds like she has a system worked out).

Don't forget cooking. I can usually show off /ck/ when they aren't cooking with semen again.

Does anyone else say that they enjoy reading when asked about their hobbies?
When pressed on what I'll say "Oh, I really like science fiction and surrealism, graphic novels/comics, that kind of thing"
It just sounds better than just saying "I read comics"

Apparently they can get figures in Japan. Not sure how, but whatever.

That’s a once in a lifetime thing desu, I hope you savored it. I’ve met only one person like that and it was a claremontfag and we just talked the entire time about 80’s/90’s X-men in the hallways in college.

Now I’d sooner see a lunar eclipse than such an event

I see. Maybe it's because I'm in college, and my social circle is mostly young students. Maybe formal dating is also a thing here with more mature circles. It's just that I see a lot of americans describing that kind of date life and it's completely alien to how things happen around me.

Pretty much yeah,

you should have told her you hide sus content, and dont reply to sus posters

I whispered "hail hydra" to strangers.

I was in the bus with this girl, we were talking about normie shit and I don't know how I started talking about the AT lore, after my autistic monologue about the mushroom war and the Lich I asked her "Do you watch adventure time?" and she replied " Yes, when my little 3 years old cousin watches it".

If she absorbs Kryptonite and/or red sun radiations, Carol could probably beat Superman

(you)

She's right. She might be fine with your hobbies and whatever, but a first date is a trial run social situation. If you're going to talk about cartoons and vidya and Yea Forums on a first date, you might do that when you meet her friends or her parents or her coworkers. You save that weird/personal shit when there's an actual relationship beginning to happen.

I just say i like reading and watching movies. And if they try to ask anything more i don't answer.

Wow dude you must be a real wizard when it comes to comics.

I've been with the same wonderful woman for 4 years now and I still won't tell her the exact extent of what Yea Forums/Yea Forums is and how deep the autism runs. She just assumes if I'm on my computer, I'm on "that comic book website".

That's my job. I kind of hate it now. When Logan was coming out everyone was asking me "what's it gonna be about?" Or "who's that bad guy??"
Just because I read comics doesn't mean I know fucking everything that will ever happen. Old man Logan has some not so normie material. I didn't know what to tell them.

I say nice shirt if it's one of those hide your power level shirts. That's the only kind I have when it comes to nerd related shit. Like a shirt or backpack or something that looks good on its own, but it's a reference to a comic or an anime or something like that. So when someone says nice whatever it's either cuz it really looks like a nice thing or they are in the know of the reference. And those are the people who I also point out in public too. It's like a secret autism club.

Numerous times back in high school to the point where I was deemed the comic book guy of my circle of friends.
Before the Doom Patrol show came out I used to talk about Doom Patrol a lot and half my friends thought I made up Danny the Street. I mean they hey have grounds to believe I did because at some point I started fucking with them by telling made up shit I thought was funny in between the actual weird shit in comics.
I own shirt with a Static logo on it and black people mark the fuck out when they recognize where it's from.

No. The most purchased comic every month ships 100k issues to retailers, that's not even 100k readers. So that's about a 10th of an unpopular primetime show. Take that down to anything less popular than the Flash and you're really struggling to find a reader. There are probably less than 5000 people worldwide who read what you consider "good comics".

Raina Telgemeier makes what I consider to be good comics, and she has millions of readers through the bookstore market.

Capeshit plebs need to get it through their heads that the market for comics is not small just because the American direct market (your local LCS store) is small. There's more to American comics than just Diamond, and there's more to the comics medium than just American comics. The sales numbers we discuss on Yea Forums are artificially stunted because Yea Forums culture isn't interested in discussing markets where capeshit doesn't come out on top.

Define "good" comics.

I said "what you call 'good' comics" that's entirely up to you.

So you frequently hang out with children and discuss Smile? Her sales are almost entirely through the scholastic catalog and school book fairs.

>le Telgemeier meme
Name 1 other comic creator with a similar success in the same time period

I'll ammend this to be about the American market.

Do you NOT read good comics just because they're all-ages? Is it just an age issue, or is it more of a gender thing for you (and you'll make an exception for comics "for boys" like Bone)?

So what? A shitton of people still bought and read "good comics". Why are you so eager to disqualify high-selling good comics and say that their sales don't count? I hope it's not just petty jealousy that it outsold your favorite cape comic.

No matter how many excuses you make, the non-Diamond market still exists and is thriving while the Diamond market is floundering. The only thing it lacks now is cold hard numbers, which Nielsen Bookscan said at ComicsPRO they're aiming to offer in 2020.

It feels like talking on the phone to me. People seem just as real as people you meet on the street when you can hear their voice.

I think his point with Lewis is that people bought his book because it was a civil rights memoir from a civil rights leader and congressman, and would have bought it regardless of what form it was in, and thus it says nothing about the public's willingness to consume comics.

>2 series
The fuck is wrong with you? Nobody ever said it was only 2 series. Despite your protestations, your bias is showing. You don't want to believe that capes might be losing, so you pick the 2 examples so far and choose to believe that they're the ONLY exceptions to the rule, that nothing else could possibly exist.

If you want some more though, the last Bookscan report from ICv2 had Dog Man at the top for kids and Umbrella Academy at the top for adults.

The top comics (sorry you probably prefer the term "graphic novel") list had a comic in the #1 slot? Well isn't that just fucking amazing! If we look at the actual Bookscan list we see that Supermarket by Bobby Hall (Logic the rapper, yet another book riding on non publishing popularity ) is the #1 seller and no comic books.
Shut the fuck up retard you don't even know what ICv2 is, its a comics industry research institute, it doesn't give a fuck about non comics publishing.

I did read all the Blacksad trades. I forgot they were European. Thanks. I'll add these to my reading list.

I used to walk around with a lightsaber on my waist until 7th grade. And I mean I walked around EVERYWHERE. I got bullied for it so I stopped.

There are a great many other things I did, but I personally feel like this one is the worst (even though a few others might be worse.)

>comic book sales don't count unless they outsell actual (non-comic) books
Yikes. Hopefully you are aware that you are only shitposting now, but what is the point? What are you hoping to accomplish by denying the validity of comic sales if they don't outsell books?

Perhaps you weren't aware, but ICv2 releases Bookscan summaries which cut out books and list just the comics.

Met my current gf talking about Super Ultar Monkey Hyperforce Go of all things. She's is a redhead farm girl qt who plays vidya and watches cartoons with me.

That was your entire original fucking argument with Teglemeier! That comics compete with prose outside of the direct market! Now that it has become painfully obvious that's untrue you chastise me for bringing it up? Fuck yourself retard.

Yes that was the entire point of my post, that having success against other comics is irrelevant when someone is arguing that non direct market comics compete with prose. They don't post the number btw, despite bookscan definitely having them, so much like digital, it's clear they don't move that many units.

Huh? The original argument was saying that only 5000 people worldwide read "good comics", and I refuted that argument by listing "good comics" which have millions of readers in America alone.

If you thought we were having some other conversation then I apologize for your confusion.

That's just autistic

Yea I asked about that level of success thinking we were talking about comics vs prose
My bad, completely misread your post.

It's alright, friend. No harm done, we're all friends here. You can still come over to my house and check out my collection.

I once said "nice shirt" to a person wearing a Derpy Hooves shirt He attempted to give me an extra one that he had in his bag which I politely refused. He later tried to become one of my friends, and we had hung out a few times until he showed me some clop that he thought was "funny" and things got weird from there. He's autistic as fuck, but he wasn't a bad person.

Aren't they all.

My nigga!

I grabbed onto the knees of the people on my sides when I realized it (don't worry, they were male coworkers, no #metoo). That was my climax.

What sort of work entails 3 monitors?

the rules only mention Yea Forums specifically

Graphic design and computer repair

>I once said "nice shirt" to a person
>He attempted to give me an extra one that he had in his bag
fucking kek

yes, I've gone to a pony con

ha, I started laughing at the "comics code" logo at the start.
nobody else in the room knew what that was.

If I leave my twitter will you give it a look

My ex gf got me into marvel comics, but then I got myself into DC and manga

Only when asked, I have a few coworkers who had an idea I might know a thing or two so I let them know.

Soooo girl? Trap?

I will.

Similar experience. My ex's favourite was Dr. Strange so I got into the Defenders and the rest of Marvel. Later I got myself into Vertigo and now I'm exploring DC as well as non-cape comics.
I'm female but I hate saying it online especially on Yea Forums because there is no way for it not to sound like a cry for attention and I hate that.

It would be extremely painful.

I half shouted "oh shit nigga, its the crimson bands of cytorrak"

Based and strange pilled

Non-cape comics are the best comics. Canadian non-cape comics are underrated. Who /drawn&quarterly/ here?

You live in Montreal? I'm in Ottawa so it's not too far.

>actually living in Canada
Yikes, I just read your comics, and that's enough Canada for me.

Have you seen the absolute state of Canadian cartoons? No thanks.

When Yondu died I shouted "Wow!" like Owen Wilson in a packed theater once it was dead silent and faded to black.

I do this.

I don't really hide my powerlevel but I'm pretty quiet and private so I don't advertise it either. I also don't typically dress or look like someone who would be into nerd shit unless I'm going to a convention (in which case I'm really autistic as hell). I have a sense of humour that's somewhere between "dad jokes" and "I've been on Yea Forums since 2006" so that's probably the most outwardly autistic part of me. But even then I'd like to say that I'm subtle enough that only people in the know would pick up that I'm referencing something.

This is why I don't wear any brand shirt unless I am very well-informed on it.

this is what a good fan does. you are a good fan.

do not chastise the ignorant, lead them to water so that they may drink

Les Nombrils/The Bellybuttons is definitely worth reading. It's Canadian though.

>Scott Snyder's New 52 Batman
Poisoned water.

I kind of have a similar thing but its with a som1 i work with. He has seen the movie and some of the animated films.
So far i have lent him the usual Batman stories you can recommend to a person who has never read a comic.
I was thinking of loaning him Sandman or Hellboy next since he has shown an interest in them when i gave a brief explanation about them.

This shit reminds me off a Yakuza 5 mission.
>Drive a cab and pick up some nerd looser on the way to his first date
>He asks for advice before meeting the girl
>I select the option to be honest about your hobbies and what you do
>Turns out the nerdy guy was into idols shit and that kinda freaked the girl out
>She them proceeds to tell something very similar to what you just said.

From that day i learned to keep my hobbies to myself. There was a time i got caught though.

>CAsually open Yea Forums, don't remeber if it was Yea Forums or Yea Forums
>One of my coworkers goes nuts and says out loud "HOLLY SHIT YOU BROWSE Yea Forums? ME TOO"
>Sundely everyone is looking weird at us
Somehow i managed to change the subject and thankfully none of them knew what Yea Forums was.

Never interact with pony people. It's just not worth the risk.

At this point 90% of my friends know i browse Yea Forums. I really give no shits anymore.

The girl was a bitch. You did good being honest.

It was my ex that also introduced me to Yea Forums and here I am.

One time I was talking to a friend during my bakery job, and as autistic as this sounds I was explaining how Le Fou (Beauty and the Beast), was gay but not really. Then my co-worker heard and looked at me funny. And I tried to dig myself out of that rabbit hole.

Another time I had to explain who was the creator of Regular Show and Adventure Time, for a new semester college class.

i know how it is I met a few people from a forum i used to post before it went down and they were all insane. It made me realize i should keep my internet life away from my normal one.

Fucking lmao. The others may be butthurt about that statement, but she's right. Telling her all that was a poor decision, because that would turn most women off. If you didn't know that basic shit, things could have gotten much worse later

Nah, she dumped him for poor decision making

Okay retard.

I work at an anime store and I'm pretty open about liking manga to a lot of people. I keep silent about reading comicbooks a lot more though. I feel way nerdier talking about comics than manga

one girl looked at me and say: you look like you play pokemon.

I got drunk at a friend's New Year's party in 2012 and told the story of Beta Ray Bill to some of his friends from college.

I have the exact same FFVIII figures. Two sets of each character. Bought them when I was a kid. One set for play and the other to collect.

My dad keeps saying how amazing I am remembering actor names... and if only I could apply that memory to something useful.

I've been familiar with this horrifying truth of comics for year and years.

>truth
It's already been debunked though.

tfw you spend more time browsing Yea Forums reading shitposts than reading comics

>implying that guy will check out that comic
Normalfags just look at you with that face and just say they have no time to read it.

So you are saying don't be yourself? Maybe it is good thing that i have no desire to date girls.

>but they are NOT replacements for physical activities and hobbies
But i have nothing else in my life.

I clapped when I was watching The Last Jedi and Yoda showed up
Even thought the movie wasn't the greatest I was having the time of my life

I don't reveal my power or even talk about my hobbies beyond wearing 1 or 2 nerd shirts that's been gifted to me. Hasn't stopped a few of my co-workers from revealing their own power in front of me in like an attempt to flush me out though. "You said you play video games when I asked you if you did? You kind of understood my anime references? Come user, let us chat loudly and openly about the lore of Warhammer or the latest in toonami-core anime" Since I try to be nice and personable and they're reaching out and being friendly I'll usually try to oblige within reason.

I feel you user. A girl who I was on and off with for about a year and a half broke up with me a multitude of times, and the first time she had “because I read comics.” The bitch asked if I’d read a Thor comic to her in a Thor voice and everything.

But yeah, fuck her. Just be yourself and if they don’t like it then it wasn’t meant to be. But maybe hold off on mentioning Yea Forums so quickly unless they bring it up, because everyone knows how autistic this place is.

I’ll date u tho no homo

>my best normalfag friend reads Death Note
>tells me about it
>I say ”oh yeah Detective Comics #1000 just came out, isn’t that crazy?”
>user I don’t give a fuck about comics

"I don't know. The comic features content that's never going to be shown in a movie, so it's going to be significantly different."

I admitted I watched the show that cant be named, i also admitted i use a pass and spend hours a day on Yea Forums
no shame

the only thing I've done was name an aircraft after the juggernaut while I was in the CIA and spray painted some of the track pads on it in the cargo bay, It looked pretty good.

Watch the anime, it's pretty fuckin' sweet if you can skip the filler episodes. Sometimes you forget how dumb the show is and it actually seems pretty dramatic.

kekity kek

Sounds like you dodged a bullet, user.

>Pinecest roleplay
You struck gold

>name an aircraft after the juggernaut
But that's dumb as shit, you're not supposed to ram stuff with a plane

based and not-autistic pilled

that's exactly what we did with those birds you fucking friend

I once told a sort-of-friend in college that I watched the horse show and even described how I went to a fan meeting once. I don't think he's looked at me the same way after that.

I don't speak for every user, but so long as you're being true to yourself and aren't trying to find a sense of self-worth in upboats and (you)s, you're alright in my book.

>I'm just joking, you silly user.
funny because it looked exactly like you being a fucking moron.

That's something I like about Yea Forums. If you want to be yourself you can be. It's anonymous and not for fake points. I think people have an opportunity to be more genuine here than on platforms like reddit where you have an identity.

That’s not first date material, user. Telling people too much weird information on the first date is a huge red flag. Nobody wants to be with someone who becomes too vulnerable too fast.

You fucked up badly too, she seemed really cool and rational about the whole thing.
