Aniblog Tourney: War

In AD 2012, war was beginning.

I don’t want to be an asshole, but closing CSW’s poll simply because we have a influx compared to the other blogs is a direct attack at not only my pride but at our viewership. If I do not get an apology, I will cause CSW’s army to spam and raid various anime blog sites. Apologies, but this has gone far enough. – AvuKamu (SPIRAL of Chocolate Syrupy Waffles)

Reactions to the the 5camp-moderated tournament continued to vary:

drmchsr0 I thought I’d hate on the ABT, but then I realized I don’t particularly care about it :V

predederva despite my off the cuff remarks, I’m not a hater of the aniblog tourney. i do think it will produce a lot of drama though

kabitzin https://t.co/KTeh0o3E Man, polldaddy is so shitty

Kuroshinko If this whole aniblog tourney is in suspicion of being rigged, maybe let’s restart this whole thing?

KyokaiTM Open question to all my aniblogger tweeple. What’s your opinion on fair voting in the aniblog tourney? How you do it yourself?

Dez691 VOTE MANIPULATION for a minor internet tournament made for fun but VOTE MANIMPULATION

lvlln It’s a tournament for people who blog about anime. You’re surprised they take anything more seriously than it’s worth?

quattro_maeda  it’s fun and you get introduced to new blogs. And psgels is gonna win anyway

5camp @lvlln It’s more what @quattro_maeda said. Interest spikes in the first batch but wanes quickly

And there is betting.

Chocolate Syrupy Rape

Two posts on Chocolate Syrupy Waffles drew the attention and wrath of voice actors Liam O’Brien and Stephanie Sheh. The posts were meant to poke fun at a Sheh fanboy with a bizarre plan to take her on a date. However, the poll CSW made to accompany them, which made references to raping her, was noted with alarm.

stephaniesheh Is rethinking googlealerts after discovering a poll bout whethr u’d support my rape

This is Steph’s voice actor friend, Liam O’Brien. And if anyone looks at Stepanie the wrong way, I will beat them with my microphone, then the baseball bat I keep under my bed, and then the crutches I’ve been walking around on.

For the record.

Eventually JubbzJW of CSW talked to them, and the air was cleared.

stephaniesheh talked to rapepoll bloggers, it was meant as a joke, people can put down their pitchforks now.

VoiceOfOBrien @stephaniesheh “out of hatred for this bitch” is not that fucking funny…

Relatively.

JubbzJW considered the affair a crowning affirmation of relevance.

If this comment Really IS from Liam O’Brien, then Ladies and Gents… we’ve made another achievement.

We could prolly become the TMZ of anime voice actors.
