   I wonder if he even wrote the headline, or if an editor did. The contents of the article don't make reference to sociopathy or claim that the app is serious or indicative of a current trend. He just uses that particular app, which coul

    Anime and manga and Japanese video games are now completely mainstreamed into American culture, to the point where often releases are done almost simultaneously in both countries. And the popularity of Frozen is not a surprise, Disney movie

    [edited because I was unnecessarily brusque.] It was a practical joke, pretty much at my own expense, and I told my friends afterwards. The "joke" is that two very attractive women fighting over me is very unbelievable.

    It appears that the classification of any discussion at all, short of total condemnation was considered by many places to be "abusive". I have never in my life seen such aggressive comment-filtering, almost everywhere, as related
