If this bursts some peoples little bubble about the perfect little world they've created in their minds well maybe that's not such a bad thing. Dreams are nice but it's better to know the reality don't you think?
This is fair enough, but I don't think all the people who posted were 'weeaboos', and this is what the topic descended into . . . "you're a weeaboo", 'no, you're a weeaboo!'.

The topic was quite postive, and sure, not everyone is realistic and not everyone will acheive their dreams, but surely it's possible to be more constructive in criticism than what some people have done? Even if one or two deserve such harsh comments, it detracts from the overall topic and ends up rather off-topic. One or two people kept on-topic, but their comemnts seemed completely wiped out by the 'no, you're a weeaboo'. In that respect it is kind of a bad thing to be so negative.
