		<description>the only thing you got right is in that all otaku culture started from bandwagoning.

You might know some really shallow/preteen otakus, but the rest of your blog doesn't apply to very many.</description>

		<description>Why are you so intent on proving this?  Why do you think you know how everyone else thinks?  I vote cause i like the characters.  I'd find it entertaining to see the one I like best win.  Simple as that.</description>

		<description>Blogrolls are solo efforts as a blogger links other blogs that he frequents as a form of respect to the other blogger. The other bloggers do not force him to link them. Everything is out of the blogger's own will. By linking, he shows appreciation of the other blogger's writing skills. I don't think appreciation of others can be counted as a mass e-fap.

Aggregators such as animenano are to make life easier for the blog readers. With a ton of blogs out there, it would be difficult to find out who has updated and who hasn't. This has nothing to do with e-fapping, it only makes the life on the internet slightly more convenient for everyone else. 

Pingbacks and trackbacks can be turned off, but most bloggers don't do it for a simple reason. Think of it as a free built in extension that has originally been activated. Why bother to turn it off when it is free anyway? It's not as if turning it off or leaving it on would make any difference. All this is the result of the blogger being lazy. I don't see how being lazy can be linked to mass e-fapping.

And on a final note, what's up with all the anonymous comments in this post?</description>

		<description>&#62;&#62;Son Gohan &#62; Yes blogging is, but it’s only a solo effort, not some mass e-fap orgy as mentioned.
So blogrolls are solo efforts? Aggregators like animenano are solo efforts? Pingbacks and trackbacks and such are solo efforts?</description>

		<description>It hasn't. Such contests are merely a tool for e-fapping. With online discussions regarding the outcomes of the contest such as forums, blogs  etc., that's when the e-fapping comes in.

For example : "Yeah, the character which I voted for won a stunning victory, this shows that my tastes are 1337!!!"</description>

		<description>"In short, it is a process of enlarging your online ego, also known as e-penis."

Especially on an anonymous imageboard, yes.
Looks like your brilliant theory has fallen apart right at the start, too bad.</description>
