Ranbuta

Ranbuta(Ran-Pig) (らん豚), or Ranran (らんらん), is a mild-mannered pig persona that's used to bash shitty games, gathering in dedicated threads called a 'butagoya' (豚小屋, lit. “pig pen”). They are technically an AA character and a Shobon derivative, but commonly seen in its kaomoji form.

Summary

These pigs are used to voice a brief complaint about an 'inconvenience' that a video game caused them (e.g. bad update, maintenance, re-balancing, etc.), typically labeling it as a 'kusoge' (クソゲー). They were not supposed to understand verbose effortposts or rants, but the ease of 'uniting people under a common goal' has led to some breeds growing more 'hostile' or 'unruly' than the original Fantasy Earth Zero breed.

Notes

The term 'ranran' (らんらん) is their first-person pronoun and greeting, thus the name.
- However, it remains a complete mystery on how or where the term originated.
The persona was referenced in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series as Ran-Ran, a minor character in remakes of the first game, Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 and Neptunia re★Verse.
