I also created my own version of the essay. I don't think it worked well, though.
*************************
Time for an essay, so put down that chainsaw and listen to me!
I believe Transformers is the cancer of /toy/. It was okay when there were occasional threads, but now they come up so frequently, it's annoying. Threads about Busou Shinki, the closing of the Glyos Junkshop, the war on neckbeard scalpers, Deadpool/Dudepeel, Revenge of the Fallen discussion with little mention of the toys, and Jin/QK are way too frequent and push aside threads about more important matters.
Yes, Transformers is a little bit of a better discussion, because it revolves around a "toy". However, most threads end up looking the same involving random crappy pics, discussion about the same Transformers over and over (Animated Shockwave, Mudflap and Skids, USB Ravage, etc), and Transformer teabagging. Also when someone is against Transformers, the Transfans get all butthurt rather than ignore the others.
I heavily dislike the TF community: most of them are stubborn elitist snobs. (You know who YOU are!) Luckily, some of them are smart enough to keep down Transmania, unlike some of the stupider Anons who continuously make threads to simply antagonize those who do not like Transformers. To make matters worse, TFW2005 actually links /toy/ to make more Transfans to come here. I guess they just want to send their followers straight into the slaughterhouse. Tch... Such heroic nonsense.
The Transformers themselves are kinda odd and fueled by bizzare fetishes and fanwank. The Universe toyline caters to the crazy GEEWUN IS DA BEST people.
Overall, I think too many Transformers threads is what's ruining /toy/'s GLORIOUS (Megatron) visage! Also I think the Transfans need to calm down and realize that not everyone likes Transformers. They can keep their obsession to themselves, or just make one thread if they wish to talk at all. Seriously, I'm tired of this Transformers slag.
