Example Sentences
- "Generally asking JOPs about anything is useless, though. 9 times out of 10 they prefer being smug, and telling you "that you can't read it anyway", and that "more people better not read it", over offering any details about the VN in question (besides bragging about the hard to read prose, saying "look at me, I am so proficient and superior!"). Most of the untranslated high rated VNs on the site, are that way, because JOPs want to feel like the elite that is high above the "EOP pleb", and not because they are actually THAT good."
- "People who think these random eroge are the peak of the genre are a minority of basement dwellers who want to feel like for the time spent learning JP they got something over EOP"
- "If we take a look at the bigger Japanese releases of 2015, or at least those who were somewhat popular among the VNDB userbase, we see that new releases have small surges, which usually never last longer than ~4 weeks. It seems people capable of reading Japanese like to read their VNs at/around release date. All Japanese VNs with a decent amount of votes are also PC only, so stuff like Steins;Gate 0 fares pretty bad on VNDB. Maybe this does have to do with availability and text hookers, but since I'm an EOP I can't say for sure."
- "Idk where you’re finding these deep intellectual discussions, r/visualnovels main export is JOPs jacking each other off and shitting on EOPs"
- "Topic says it all, really. Note that you can buy games that you'll never get around to reading at DMM & DLsite and support the industry* even if you can't read Japanese. For before the Big Backlog in the Sky, even JOPs and EOPs are equal."
