META IS EVIL!

We must wage war against this corrupting force whle there is still time!

There was once a time a few days not too long ago when I wrote meta posts. Be they about the types of anime blogs that exist, my growth as a blogger or on ways to watch anime, it seemed this was the type of thing which would get me noticed that little bit more. But the further I descend into the degenerate world of SMB, the more the demonic nature of this style of blogging makes itself known to me. To put it simply, in every feasible and conceivable way, META IS PURE EVIL.

Learning about bloggers!

Meta enables readers to learn more about their bloggers. Oh yes, at first this may seem like a good thing, allowing each author to distinguish thmeselves from the pack as individuals, but do not be fooled! There are hidden codes within all of these dastardly posts. For, you see, every author has some dark and deep secret which would land them in prison for several lifetimes. For every introspective post or every “Why I blog” article, there are subtexts of violence and/or pervertedness. Proof? Quotes? Don’t be ludicrous, just look for the signs! Avoid all meta posts lest you become entangled in some sort of web of conspiracy! Distance yourself from all your authors and view them as nothing more than wordsmiths made for your own enjoyment!

Getting noticed by meta!

For some reason at times meta posts get more noticed than anime posts! Sure, it could be down to the whole episodic v editorial debate, but more likely is the fact that (as I have just claimed most) authors harbor a distrubing secret; we are all birds of a feather, so to speak. We each feed on the bane of blogosphere so we can produce our own terrible posts, get more hits and spread this cancerous trend as far as possible. Have you never had the feeling that some meta posts are a little bit too accessible, too interesting and too engaging to read? That’s because all meta is like chocolate. POISONED CHOCOLATE. Poison which shall inspire others to start up blogs (for alas, this even happened to me!) and even grab the attention of those who’d most likely never give your blog a second look. Do not write meta. Take that sweet delcious chocolate and KILL IT WITH FIRE.

War inducing meta posts!

And now we come to the crux of the matter, the greatest reason of all to avoid meta at all costs. It starts wars. Wars much greater than those which are either cold or worldly, wars in which people discard their humanity and attempt only to argue, prove each other wrong and FLAEMHATE with all the linguistic skill and uninihibted ferocity that they possess. Much blood (black blood for all who participate are nothing more than DEMONS) has been shed on these more epic than epic battlefields, and we must do all we can to stop these wars from occuring.

Which means using EXTREMELY PREJUDICIAL VIOLENCE. Against meta.

So go, delete them from your “to-read” lists, ignore the enticing and mysterious titles and never, ever write a posts titles which doesn’t have a reference to one or more animu. And if at the end of it all we still have not succeded:

MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL.
