I know I'm not on your friends list and neither have we spoke that much at all in threads but I like to see what kind of fun things you guys get up to in the threads and I think it's hilarious and looks like a ton of fun, especially with the shipping and truth or dare threads which I love reading whenever I'm currently on the site. But honestly seeing how friendly you are to everyone else and how you're always up for a laugh in the threads, you seem like a pretty cool dude Arc, same goes for pretty much everyone here o/ I would get involved in those threads myself if I knew what to say to join in on the fun :D I wish you and everybody else happiness and joy :D

I can relate, I guess. I have ADD, and occasionally have trouble following subs in some animes. Most of the time it's not a problem, but there are some anime that I don't really pay as close attention to the subs as I should be, and miss a lot of subtle cues or important details. Which is why I make it a habit of watching the sub first, then the dub second, if I liked it enough.

so have films and books and music at some point or another. Doesn't mean we should generalize and ban the whole medium like some of the people in those articles would have us.

Hmm... I think I know the story... Wondering through a dead city desert. This planet that I am from basically deserted. I feel like I'm the only one here, after the massive explosion happen 3 months ago. I had barely survived on water a food that I had. Now I had ran out. I am dehydrated. My body is week to go any further. I just can't go on... Ha, What,...where am I... I wake up and there I see in front of me a beautiful pink haired girl. Wait, are those bunny ears. What the.... "Sir are you okay".... There you go ARK.... give you a head start... ;)

As others have stated, it's not that it's more prevalent, it's that it's more forwarded. As a classification, nerds and geeks have been ostracized by many other "normal" groups. (I define normal as in the eye of the beholder, and I don't mean the D&D game.) The LGTBQ is another one of those isolated groups, and so I'd guess that, as groups that have experienced being outcast, it's far easier to welcome others, especially from other groups that have also been left out. Thus, there is the perception of it being more of a cross-section.
