Return of the Digimon crazies
Digimon fandom has a lot of crazies. There's the people who insist that Yamato and Taichi really were a couple in the Japanese original but any innuendo had been taken out by Teh Ebil Dubbers, or that Hikari and Takeru really were meant to be and episode 50 was a LIE! There's the people who insist on passing off false information as genuine, like the moron who said that Noganism IS real and if you don't believe him you're close-minded! Nevermind all the facts that disprove these things.

And now, we have a Real Live Producer. Really. One that speaks English and typos as bad as most of the rest of the fandom in the heat of an argument. Nevermind the fact that Digimon is planned, animated, voiced, and aired in Japan with a Japanese audience in mind.


ProdN10:
I am here to inform all of you that there will indeed be a season five. How do I know this? Well, the answer is simple: I am one of the producers who have stuck around since Digimon Adventure 02. If that doesn't make you wonder than I don't know what will. In fact I even have a little insider info that deals with 05 and the past seasons of Digimon. Ok, pull up a chair, because this will take a while.

Makes me wonder why someone would bother to lie this much, sure.


Various sheep come up to graze at his feet in the typical brainless Digimon fan fashion until Demonslayer starts doing the wise thing and asks questions. Just a request for proof, really. Naturally, instead of giving actual proof, the InsiderMysteriously English-Speaking Producer pulls random shit out of his ass that includes crystal balls nebulous things like "be patient" and "They are keeping us producers a little in the dark on what they are planning which can tend to be irritating, but we patiently deal with it." My Tarot deck would give more definitive answers.

Demonslayer is much enjoying his questioning, like so:
Demonslayer:
"Now that I think about it.....You still haven't told us why you picked this board with a small digimon forum to post your information I doubt even 50 people will read it here which brings suspicion to my mind......and also.......how did you find this board at all? It's pretty hard to find and search for so how'd you get it?"

Thread eventually devolves into ProdN10 coming across as a chronic liar (whose canon "facts" are so off that they wouldn't stand up to a slight breeze) and Demonslayer trying to live up to the Detective Conan icon in his profile.

ProdN10 attempts to answer 5 questions from Demonslayer:
1. Are you really who you claim to be?
A: Yes, I am otherwise, where is this info coming from. It sure isn't thin air that is for certain.

2. Is there even a season 5?
A: Yes, the 05 season is coming, but the production schedule is taking time to get totally underway.

3. How reliable are your sources?
A: The info is very reliable considering the total number of people who tell me things from time to time. The number is somewhere around 10-15 people who work in different position at either Bandai or Toei. Can't get anymore official than that unless I get in touch with the creator of Digimon. Maybe one of my co-workers has his phone number. I'll have to check. No, I am not be silly. I am dead serious.

4. If you are who you claim to be.....is season 5 really a possibility
A: The 05 season is definitely a possibility, but certain factors such as Disney, the cgi movie and finalizing of the 05 story has to get taken care of first. Bandai is determine to get 05 on the air next year sometime. But, yes, it's definitely coming.

Right. Nevermind that the 02 in Digimon Adventure 02 refers to the year 2002 and NOT the season number. There never was a season "03" or "04", they're called Digimon Tamers and Digimon Frontier. And why on earth would an American company have any say over the property of two Japanese companies?

It just gets worse around page 3 as the sheep start defending ProdN10 and he and Demonslayer start flinging insults at each other. ProdN10 ends up making excuses for his insults and then says that "As of now, I think that I may be one of the only producers posting anywhere outside the private company boards." And then he goes and acts condescendingly to Demonslayer on basis of age.

And then it gets even better! Poor Nathan (ProdN10) is so stressed out that he just HAS to go to Hawaii for a few weeks and sent his friend Mark (now posting under his account) to do his work (re: make shit up on a small digimon board) while he's gone. Curiously, "Mark" makes the same fallacies that "Nathan" does, has the same posting style, and claims that there's an in-limbo season called "Digimon Adventure 00: Origins." Nevermind the inherent wrongness of the title itself.

"Mark" whines about how cruel fans are and oh why won't anyone believe the producers? My heart would go out to them if I had one. Then, Cyberdramon comes up to pick up the attack where Demonslayer left off, drilling ProdN10 with more questions that receive answers that are either outright incorrect or so nebulous that Professor Trelawney would be more definite. Eventually the questions get so demanding and detailed that ProdN10 ends up pulling crap out of his ass completely, which leads to him being soundly beaten down by Cyberdramon's facts. And then ProdN10 is trouced by even more people who are obsessive enough to be able to counter his arguments.

Fortunately, not everyone believes this crap.

It's not a particularly funny wank and I wouldn't force anyone not in the fandom to read it all, but I figured it deserved a place here, if just for the "how the fuck can people believe this" factor.
