I won’t go over much of the details but it started about a week ago when I made a post on another subreddit. After some time the post ended up garnering some replies. However, some of the people who replied to me criticized my post and made certain claims that I considered to be completely delusional and simply untrue. As such, I felt the need to respond to them as a means of correcting them as well as giving them my perspective on the matter in the nicest manner I can do. While I consider myself well knowledgeable regarding the subject matter at hand, I’m honestly not that great when it comes to my debate skills. With that in addition to how tired I felt at the moment, and me not having any plans in getting into such an argument in the first place, instead of taking some time to research and fact check myself, I acted in impulse and wrote down whatever first came to my mind.

As such, my arguments came off as weak with nothing to back them up, easy for someone to misread, and overall making me look like someone who had no idea what he was talking about. As a reward for my poor debate skills, my replies were downvoted plus some not so nice responses in return, going so far as to make false assumptions about me. Even after I took some time to give them a more proper response backed with links to actual sources that I believed would well debunk their claims, it seemed it was all over as they have yet to get back to me. Either due to them reading my final response and had no idea what to say next or chose to no longer engage with me anymore as they were no longer interested. The original post has been taken down since and can no longer be accessed.

I know that arguing with random strangers on the internet is completely pointless and nothing more than a waste of time and energy. But after that whole frustrating experience, as someone who wants to be seen as someone that places logic over their personal emotions, I have felt a lot of embarrassment and insecurity since, wishing to go back and do much better in regard to explaining my positions. It also doesn’t help that this all took place on a subreddit that I regularly interact on. Haven’t made another post since, fearing someone may notice my username and will want to continue with the argument. Instead of continuing to dwell on what happened, I just want to properly move on from the experience and continue with my life, both online and real life.

As much as I love Beastars, what’s possibly my favorite thing about the anime would be their openings for the first two seasons. Wildside and Kaibutsu have become two of my favorite Japanese songs of all time for me. Kaibutsu’s especially what got me into becoming a huge Yoasobi fan. I personally remember back in 2023 when their song IDOL for Oshi no Ko became a hit when it released where I became absolutely obsessed over it as well as many of their other songs. As such, I was a bit disappointed when the openings for the final season were both instrumentals. Don’t get me wrong, they’re good on their own but hopefully you know where I’m coming from.
