Is there any advantage to joining vendor discords and telegrams?

I didn't add that, or at least not intentionally. I'm not sure whether I accidentally changed that or if someone with admin privileges (e.g., exploitedworkerbee) did it. I did see how change it back; I'd click on my name and profile picture in the upper right. Then I'd click on Account Details. Then I'd change my "Custom Title."

I have no custom title option

Weird, signatures show for me. If I tap someone's username, a little window pops up with info without even leaving the thread.

I checked later in the day. I no longer had the option, although the title was still there on my display. Before responding to you, I checked again, I have that as an option now.

I started off as manga characters! I needed a new theme!

I think now you’ve evolved into the ultimate creature form! Is there anything more powerful than a Dragon? Only the SUN, maybe next week?

I'm a BABY dragon who can slow time! (Don't expect to see me here the 21st)

I thot u were an anime

Some of us don’t know the difference between manga and anime Sort of like how Facebook soccer moms view Wegovy vs. Mounjaro?

There is one privilege only unlocked at the "research enthusiast" level. Posting in the vendor threads.

How many research animals must I trap and inject to earn that title?

Kind of. She's an actual dragon. I can't spoil anything or if there's another fan here I might get murdered. Ongoing series.

Edit: that first comment was a spoiler, oops

Since you're acting as a moderator and you call yourself exploitedworkerbee, I suspect you're not well paid for the assignment. It seems only fair that you should have the power to randomly mess with people.

Manga is to comics as anime is to cartoons

And yet your analogy is wrong. A static drawing is equally a cartoon as an animated drawing.

The colloquial use of cartoons heavily implies animation and should be even more readily apparent in context.

When someone talks about enjoying their saturday morning cartoons, they're not pulling out the newspaper and reading the funnies.

But it's an analogy a soccer mom will understand

But to the same effect, anime is colloquially used to mean both anime and manga by a lot of people

(Saturday morning cartoons are also a specific thing, but I have known older generations refer to newpaper comics as cartoons plenty of times.)

Only people who aren't nerdy enough would call manga an anime.

I bet they don't know what a manhwa is either. Losers.

anime and manga are mutually exclusive terms
comics and cartoons are hierarchically inclusive terms
