>and got bullied and called a normal fag who goes to da club
Hmmm... my memory of around that time was anons being surprisingly positive towards tablets - particularly cheap LCD ones (a novelty at the time) for the purpose of reading manga, watching anime, emulating games, etc. (basically all the same things many had previously used PSPs and phones for, but with now with a big touchscreen)

In fact I distinctly remember threads around Black Friday 2012 where everyone was trying to find good deals - I was lurking those threads cuz I was interesting in having one myself, but I didn't end up getting one... then I received one for Christmas that year anyway
