There's nothing to wonder about. Cipher has laid out what the thread was for twice now. He's being like....30% sanctimonious. Tops.

The limited color palette renders it a mystery, but I'd like to think so.

Unacceptable to...who, exactly? To you?
As a self-admitted sanctimonious asshole, and proud of it, allow me to respond for him with a resounding "Who cares? Lighten up, or go away."

it's unacceptable on this forum to act like a fucking douchebag, does that make sense? have some decency, will you?

"Decency?" Was someone attacked? Did I miss it? Did someone get drunk and start streaking around on the forum?
Seriously, lighten up. Or don't. It'll be a blast either way.

Whoa there partner, isn't it a bit sanctimonious to lob personal insults at someone over a bit of good-natured hyperbole?

it's scumbags like them who give this forum a bad name, to be honest. it's incredibly rude. the guy was just sharing his opinion and wondered if anyone wanted to relate. I don't see anything wrong with it, and neither should you.

Well, if you're indicative of the population where you're from, It doesn't seem like much smiling goes on anyway. Somehow we will have to live with the shame.
Also...since you are throwing out the word "unacceptable..."

There's nothing wrong with sharing said opinion and inquiring as such (even if its about the billionth time someone has said something to the effect of "the franchise is ruined!" and asking if they're the only one who feels that way is akin to asking "am I the only one who really likes [insert popular thing here]?").
There's also nothing wrong with making a thread observing that the franchise
did in fact start as a joke. There's
especially nothing inherently hostile or mean-spirited about it either.

No, why would it? It's fiction. The strength of the characters is not possible to reach in reality.
I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

I
am curious...It's unacceptable" for Cipher to start a thread as a response to another,
egregiously overdone thread, because it's indecent or something, but you can waltz in here, call everyone assholes, acting like you have some moral high ground up on your lofty peak of self-righteousness, and that's just fine? And you expect
anyone to take you
remotely seriously? Good luck with that.

This thread has become a joke now with all these comments above.
Anyway, it's good to see how the franchise has grown so far. It makes me think for a long time about a lot of things, things that I would change, things that I wanted to happen and etc.

Realest possible talk, which I'm amazed I have to do on page two of a joke thread after explaining myself twice: Anyone is welcome to present serious discussion about the series here, whatever their opinions may be. It would simply hope they do so in a reasoned, coherent manner. Beginning from a place of extreme hyperbole might result in the very lightest poking fun, which is about as much as this thread was attempting to do, in addition to inviting whatever fond discussion flowed from there.
I assume both AnimeMaakuo and Clayton are passionate about the series -- as we all are -- and I hope they continue to post. But these forums have always made for one of the rare sites centered around genre fiction that encourages members to both present opinions in a reasonable, thoughtful fashion, and roll with light jokes when they arise. In short: to discuss this kids' series like adults.
Now that's some sanctimonious shit, and the last I'll sully this thread with.

I guess for these people Super tarnishes the legacy --- which is a perfectly valid discussion to have now or when it finishes (hopefully soon). I've seen roughly 30 seconds of Super, but I sympathize as Super (I'm told) seems to be going off in another direction where GT mostly played it safe by recycling plot points etc. But that shouldn't ruin your enjoyment of the classic shit.

This is correct - so why, exactly, are you responding this way?
Let's all lighten up a little bit. Thanks.

no, it doesn't. it makes you look like a sanctimonious asshole. not sure what the intention of this thread was (although it makes you wonder), but it certainly doesn't make you look any better. shame on you.
I partially agree with you, except I would post less cursing. I would also add that replying with a gif is somewhat rude as well. I mean, what is that even supposed to MEAN? Some short of sarcasm, perhaps? Please EXPLAIN what the gif is supposed to mean.
And as much as it is against the rules to respond with a picture with no context, I would guess it's equally inappropriate to respond with just a gif.
I suppose I will be just attacked after this for not ''lighting up'' or whatever, though.
Jeez.
