Always count on Mcjon.
It's really rude for you to call new fans and people who haven't had time to learn everything bottomfeeders or filthy secondaries. There is a big difference in refusing to learn and simply not having as much time invested yet. If your attitude is this dismissive, hostile, and rude toward anyone who is trying to be into your fandom, then forget your front page. You don't want new people, and you can just languish in this pool of vitriol toward people who are earnestly interested. Talk about an interest killer. There is absolutely no reason for you to act that way about new fans who come to this site. If you want to be like that you might as well make your front page a Keep Out and Beware of Pretentious Gatekeepers sign.

Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t.
Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die.
Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.

Many true a word is spoken in jest.
The joke, however, remains a joke.
Prix, how many times have you seen Spinach be serious about everything he says? Or McJon for that matter, outside translation/lore questions.
And, yes, substitute the words you didn't like with something more socially acceptable and the statement stays true.

I also initially responded pretty lightly. But in a thread where it's being discussed how to make the site more inviting to newcomers and such on a landing page, this kind of insistence in even jokingly being that rude and dismissive is utterly counterproductive. The longer you're here, the more accustomed to rude banter you might become, but for new people this kind of attitude is extremely off-putting. It already seems like a tightrope walk to even ask anything in GD after you have read the materials in the OP about your query. When you go around posturing about how Seika's nicely compiled post is some kind of negative crutch is really pretty unwelcoming.

its a bit disheartening to see people dismiss the front page so much i can agree with that
just cuz you dont use it now in its current shit state doesnt mean it should stay that way...
My point is that you make it sound like that trying to catch up on something you've become interested in is being inferior to people who have spent a lot longer learning the material. Some people join websites about something they have some amount of exposure to so as to learn more.

what really kills discussion is the notion that only moonruners can contribute anymore
Talking about the frontpage, how about adding an IM type of message box to it, meant for chatting that isn't really worth making actual posts.

It could be on the side of the front page yes.

force in what sense
headcanon is stuff you yourself believe because it makes sense to you personally
it can always be forced by just not giving a fuck
but like in general it was used for more inconsequential stuff like "because x likes this and that i like to think y is his favorite color"
well whatever
but honestly it has become more and more difficult to join in on conversations because it usually takes a turn into moonrune land in which the moon runers prefer the company of their own
kinda at odds with the sites goal as the english speaking tm fandom home
