@mayuutann @skoll it's a bit of a bad joke I make. I really don't like emoji and don't have fonts supporting those symbols installed - because of that, they show up as boxes on my computer.
The reason I quote 'stink' in the same way is a bit different - it's just an incredibly silly name for posts Extinct Mammal came up with when Extinct Mammal joined the fediverse.

@eal To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Monogatari. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Koyomi Araragi's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Monogatari truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Koyomi Araragi's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Monogatari tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
