Akiba Killer is a God

I visit 2ch myself from time to time, especially most recently. I've never seen such a thread either.

Bah! It's just like the tabloids in the United States and Britain...make up any story if it'll sell papers...

never trust media. never trust the internet too :D

Any forum has his share of stupid users, 2ch obviously is not an exception.
BTW I haven´t been able to enter 2ch, do I need a Japanese IP or something?

All hail Britannia!
The evil King must have used his Geass on the media people to start conquering Japan.
Maybe the media finds this comment and writes it for real next time, at least this comment did exist. :p

*sigh*

lamentable...

Why do they hate otaku so much? Sure the killer might have been an anime fanatic, heck he may have even been an otaku but that doesn't make all otaku dangerous. People snap, they do crazy things which cause harm to themselves and others. Otaku are not an exception to this -_-

Damn mas-gomi!
They exploit the general public's lack of knowledge of these sorts of things and feed the public with something fished out of their own colons.

Knowing the amount of immature doodleheads who frequent 2ch, I wouldn't be surprised if such someone started such a thread. I'm guessing the thread got deleted, but not before someone else stuffed the mailbox of the weekly journal with alarmed cries of "They are worshipping the Akihabara killer!"

some people just have nothing better to do =.=

sigh. . .아이구. . .

this is definitely a case of LOLMEDIA

MEDIA=SRS BSNS
...........o.O

Amazing. Simply amazing how much sensationalism are going into this on the select media side. As funny as it sounds, it's almost like how they portrayed the media in Death Note, as nothing more than a ratings-hungry bunch of incompetant fools unable, or rather, unwilling to report on the truth since it probably wouldn't get them good ratings.

While I'm sure there are people actually fighting the good fight on the media side, but hey, who's counting, right?

You're reading a douchebag's praise for a psychopath who have killed otakus, why bother?

This is just like FOX News' crusade against gamers. It seems like we've just have to get used to these kinda stories, as there are no way of stopping the wild imagination of these assholes, but we can at least try to prove them wrong.

Well, for italian media he was a yakuza...

Those lying media!!!

Even if some people have formed a cult-following (probably not, but you never know) for this guy, why would they be "otaku"? He killed those people in Akihabara. That makes about as much sense as claiming a group of radical muppets are praising someone for committing a bombing on Sesame Street. The story doesn't even begin to make sense.

Whatever will those idiots think of next? :/

Ugh, idiots. Do people buy this stuff anyways?

Wow, the media has officially gotten so desperate for people to read their crap that they had to steep this low. Nobody is buying their newspapers nor are people wishing to look into their stories to instead opt for the average blogger's post thus making the media so very twisted. I think everyone should just ignore the news media and take news from common bloggers instead so we can watch these over-payed horn-blowers see a much needed end to their pathetic careers.

how low must the media go to sell their news...
man this is the very reason why i don't read the news...
there is no such thing as truth now a days...

the media sucks. they will keep at something like this and milk it as long as they can before the fire dies down. its prob best to just to not feed them fuel. i do not think that in the long run this will hurt otaku culture, not unless they remove vehicle-free street days forever.

I'm amazed by how most of the newspapers in the world always manage to find all the bad news like crime, etc and print them and not find space to print good stuff. They're like a magnet for bad news.

There should be a media debunking tv show. A show that goes against all the idiotic news that irresponsible media publish. A show that will defend minorities that have been victims of scape-goating.

hunting of otaku is open ! Gloups !

I also visit 2ch, and I haven't seen such a thread myself. 2ch even has the J Saimoe 08 to focus on now, why would they praise someone who MURDERED 7 people in cold blood.

The media seems to have some manner of prejudice against two things: Gamers and Otaku.

And THAT'S also why I do not trust the mainstream media sometimes, too much one-sidedness, despite sometimes, how fair they claim to be.

What bum-bums they are!

Man... The media sure is desperate to want to use underhanded means to raise their charts...

I always said that it's best to double check info that goes on the official media... but when it comes to gaming, internet and anime related stuff, I say you can't trust it AT ALL.

Bunch of retarded biased guys writting about stuff they don't really know.

When it comes to Internet, reporters these days seems completely ignorant about it.

I picture old guys trying to do research and write about stuff they never even know how to deal. Do they even check the sources on what they are saying?

Pittyful.

The problem is that the news is no longer 'the news' of facts. The news has become entertainment. Which lead to stuff like this in Japan and FOX news here in the states.

What's a 2-channeler?

That's basically how the media works. Which is why I don't trust the media all the time when it comes to details about their reports.

ok it's these news reports that annoy me the most, the media trying to demonize a certain group by specifically targeting them with bad press, whether theyr're really true or not...

Fox news is one of the most notorious in these acts, and Im sure that anyone living in the states knows what im talking about. they target videogames specifically as society's root of all evil, when infact what they're doing is exactly what they're accusing others of.

That's why I really don't like the meida, they only write what they want

I lol'd @media

doing everything and making up stuff just to sell...

anyone that kills an innocent person deserves to be punished wish Kira was real he never killed otakus T^T

bleep the bleeping media and their bleeping agenda. meh.
