   Even steamrollers are drifting now?

     Not only drifting, but drifting in reverse. I have no idea what the hell that was, other than very weird.

   I wish I could find any information about that, but everything out there seems to just link back to the original Youtube page.

     It's too weird for 4chan. Therefore it must be 2chan.

       Make that 2channel please, we text board users don't like to be confused with imgeboard users all the time. ;)

         How deep does this otaku pecking order go?

           I think by the time you're at "People who care about the distinction between 2chan and 2channel" you're in a box with no outgoing arrows in that chart. And like it there. ;)

           Okay, one, to "Furries". Maybe.

   Ah, Japan, so much with the technology, so little with the being normal.

   There are certainly many things on the Internet.

   And that - that - was one of them.

    This video appears to contain some inspirational footage that is relevant:

      Yeah, this Roller Legend thing appears to also be on the Tubes with suffix "Vocaloid x Billy Herrington x Initial D": the former is singing text-to-speech software; the middle is...that; the latter is some oft-parodied anime about drift racing. There's another Vocaloid-based Initial D parody thing with the steamroller here, so presumably it's just the crossbreeding of memes doing their underbelly-of-the-Internet thing.

      (There is some "explanation" in the description of that video. It didn't explain anything. I think the general answer is "stop it, wannabe-Japanese".)

        So yeah, Billy Herrington is a gay porn actor:

        who became famous enough in Japan that there is now an action figure being made of him:

        Dear Internet,
