L33T Speak In Comics and Comic Books

Mr. Rohrer said a while back:

If I allowed it, people would obviously make use of it all the time, and you can see how that looks pretty terrible, and breaks the immersion.  No comic book would ever format such an utterance this way.

"BRING BACK 3 TINDER" would look fine to me within the OHOL world and I have hundreds of hours (if not well over a thousand) of hours of playing the game.

In late 2000, almost 21 years ago, the comic Little Gamers premiered.  According to Wikipedia, 0ne m1ght expecT a new comic of Little Gamers 3 times a week.

I have not read the comic myself, but the Wikipedia says:

Mr. (Pontus) Madsen is the main protagonist of the strip together with Christian. He is known for his usage of leet speak and his obsession with a huge collection of pr0n. He's part Danish. He's 27, likes pr0n and Final Fantasy, and dislikes Christian.

Also Wikipedia says:

Wikipedia wrote:

In 2005, Little Gamers published its first collection of comics in book form. As of February 2008, four collections of comics have been published.

Thus, it seems rather clear that leet speak has appeared in comic books before.  Again, there's evidence that even 15 years ago, leet speak was consistent with comic book standards.

You know you've really screwed up and done something bad when you make Tarr rise from the ashes...

This doesn't say the same thing as another thread or comment of mine.  So, it's not spam.

The use of l33t speak is also different than ordinary use of numerals, so this does concern a different topic.

It is definitely in the same style of the other thread and absolutely does not need another thread about the topic. It makes the forum look bad and actively discourages actual real discussion.

Re: L33T Speak In Comics and Comic Books

Here's an example of leet speak in a recent Little Gamers comic: https://www.little-gamers.com/2021/09/1 … as-arrived

December 13th, 2000 was the first time that Little Gamers used leet speak: https://www.little-gamers.com/2000/12/13/111

Just because some dumb comic has leet speak in it doesn't mean it should be a feature in OHOL.

Comics also include things such as pedophilia, rape, and incest.

Mic drop.

Regardless of whether the wording is different, this is the exact same topic as your other thread. So yeah, you were in the wrong in making a second thread just because you were unhappy with the reception of the first one.

Also, absolutely nobody cares how many comics you can find with leet speak in them.

But, I take it you were joking.

First off, I care, and I do exist, and am not nobody.  So, your last assertion is clearly false.

Second, leet speak does not fall under the ordinary use of numerals.  So, no, they are not the same topic.

Maybe I've misunderstood you, but I think in '5111y', '1' gets used to represent two different letters in two different places.  I'm no expert in leet speak, is that a common practice?

I'm not an expert either. I just used some online translator.

If you can read the message then it is a valid letter replacement for me.

The "previous comic" I think was one character once saying 'three tinder'. The next comic was 'ready' or something like that. So you mean the first line of the first one? That's not leet speak. That's someone speaking in their native language.

I would consider 'three tinder' to be leet speak.

For this next part, I don't know how to respond. I think Mr. Rohrer's initial question makes for a good one, but the answer, I'm not sure. The way this game functions makes it so that what I can say right now means next to nothing, I'm sure. The real problem lies in the fact that Mr. Rohrer has realized that 'bring back 3 tinder' is something that would be useful, so if I were him, I would have placed the suggestion there instead of on this other thread.

So... tinder might have gotten used as a weapon at some point, because of the l33ts?
