Want to get rid of the annoying adverts? The answer is simple. There are 4 levels of advertising on AnimeOTK:
Level 1: (Your Level, guests and members with 0-9 posts) has maximum advertising. Level 2: (A user with 10 or more posts who has been a member over two weeks) have vastly reduced advertising (including removal of the large full screen closable adverts) Level 3: (A member who has been registered over a month and has over 50 posts, or has a special account like "artist" or "writer" sees minimal advertising. Level 4: (VIP Donators) receive no advertising.
All donators of $10 or more will never see an advert on our site again!
Put it this way: I was 4 when it came out and it's the only reason I even bothered to pay attention to Mortal Kombat at all. I was too young for the games, and they didn't look interesting until this put awareness in my mind. And I doubt that experience is unique; it's like how you've got a Batman fan in every generation, because they pump out media that appeals to those specific age ranges. It was a series that coincided with the release of the movies in those same years; it got more people aware of the movies, then the games.
And anyway, what's it matter? It's not like it even remotely affected the games?
And? It got a whole new generation into the games didn't it? While still giving them adventures to imagine? What's the big complaint here? Especially when there were other kid friendly martial arts shows that followed it, often with even less success.
...How does it cheapen the 'real' Mortal Kombat? It's a cartoon spin-off, it clearly didn't hurt it in any way? It was a fun romp from a game series that, while violent, doesn't take itself too seriously either?
I do care about diversity in media; it's important for people to be able to see themselves and their stories represented properly.
Yeah, unfortunately you're one of the many around here who don't. It's not very helpful.
No, there's no other topic. I'm just waiting for the new MK1 to come out and hoping against hope it generates some kind of interest around here...This place is fucking dead.
Basically, I'm lonely and annoyed because I have ideas for a specific kind of role-play and I may as well be shouting into the void.
There's no interest, especially not for M/M type role-plays; and the three people I've found only do F/F, or won't give my ideas a chance because "They don't find the male roster attractive enough" whatever the fuck that has to do with anything.
I'm annoyed, I'm frustrated, I'm fucking isolated in and because of my own fixations.
