We've got basically zero faggots, a handful of active artists, and no CP spam to speak of. You're doing great. The only thing that I take serious issue with is the guy pumping out AI slop since he used to be the anon who collected and dumped stuff made by kemono artists on twitter (and because I've started drawing a little bit for personal fun, and I've gained a much deeper appreciation for visual art and distaste for AGI). But that's his problem.

Nice. I've wanted to visit one myself, but I've always thought it was kind of an all-or-nothing commitment.

I think what you're trying to say is that anime as a word and as a style are both strongly influenced by Western animation, and early Western animation from the rubber hose era and prior actually has a lot of similarities with modern anime (Betty Boop is the first chibi girl, perhaps?). I'm not a fan of that particular illustration by Owen Cyclops because I do think that there needs to be some craft put into a shape/painting in order for it to be spiritual or moving, but I get the point both it and you make.

The etymology and popularity of both words derive from the "30 year old boomer" meme which was psyopped into mainstream consciousness via a Discord clique about 6-7 years ago. There was then a trend of making simulacra using the -oomer suffix because the heavy vowel sound triggers something in the ape brains of most people, and the majority of modern communication is simply trying to harness linguistic magic which they do not understand. Thus, a cynic is a doomer; an optimist is a bloomer; a romantic is a swooner, a porn addict is a coomer, and so on.
This is also why words like troon(er) and gooner have become popular; they technically existed earlier as tranny + goon (meaning SA user who paid tenbux) or as in "gooning" in the hyperfetishistic sense. Words like this also serve practical purposes in evading word filters on social media, because the curry niggers who run them are actually so fucking stupid they can't identify
troon as a euphemism for
tranny, nor can they design LLMs to do so.
But yes, word magic, it really is that simple. If you want to see this notion of words being long-lost magic symbols that we activate with our voiceboxes explored more, you must read Snow Crash. I will also tell you something that literally nobody else on the face of the internet has seen fit to mention: Snow Crash is an incredibly fun and funny read, and you will have a good time regardless of what your reason for picking it up is. I suppose most people are too busy in their quest to add books to their List of Quote Tweet Gotchas to appreciate the written word anymore.
