I have a working theory that the reason people come up with snappy names to refer to their favorite longwinded titles is that the actual title is too embarrassing

yeah no that's real. it's the worst with Rascal cause instead of calling it Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai the common alternative is Buta Yarou or AoButa, neither of which i want to particularly say either. cool show though
This time I was actually thinking about My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute - commonly abbreviated as Oreimo - being a devious and evil thing to slip into normal discussions about normal shows
oh
tbh i think the other thing you were talking about this with is worse cause at this point oreimo is infamous enough that most people will probably have a worse reaction just to that than the full title lol

Regardless of a work's quality, more jargon is worse for accessibility!

I think my stance is overall "more jargon = less accessibility = higher barrier to understanding", which regardless of who you are is unhelpful.
