But that butthurt and misinterpretation of what's being said is the fault of the new people who seem to have no sense of humor whatsoever, and even then, people on IRC aren't all like that. It really depends on where you go. I can't imagine #hisouten being anything but that, whereas Mizuumi would be a mixed bag depending on who you talk to and what mindset they're in at the time. That's how I feel about it, at least, and to be fair, I haven't been in #hiso in a while, so things might be different.
