/jp/ - Otaku Culture

1. They're not, really.

2. Women are generally more social than men.

Irritating white japanophile looks kinda sugoi sugoi

>>1667890
You only ever really see the ones that get out, so that's all you have to go on. I'm sure there are ones who shut themselves in and are just as unsociable.

>>1667911
This.

>>1667896
>Women are generally more social than men.

This too.

Moralfag is moe.

>>1667890
Fanfiction writer and Kaiji-loving female.

Fine with me.

>Fat Yaoi Fangirl
Ebony, is that you?

>>1667911
Even the ones who don't go out are social on the internet. My sister is more NEET than I am, since I have a job, but she's on a ton of stupid forums and IMs constantly. While my sole social contact on the internet is a certain anonymous image board.

>>1667938

Yes, but your sister does not = every fujoshi on earth.

>>1667931
Fanfiction writers are actually more like a cross between fat yaoi fangirls and irritating Japanophiles. I'm not sure why they just made a generic loli for fanfic writer.

>>1667949

Because it's based of off a tripfag on /a/ who would write erotic fanfiction about other tripfags on /a/. Her pictures got out, drama ensued, etc.

>>1667896
This.

And what happened to 20?

They don't care about power levels like we do. So they can go out and make friends.

>Why are Fujoshi more sociable than male otakus
economics

Rape: Moral fag
Sex: Cosplayer
Marry:none
SUGOI SUGOI : Japanophile

moralfag-tan is moe

>>1667957
Perish the thought, but is it on ED? I missed this one.

>>1667965
explain

You know, I don't find most of those nearly as obnoxious as I am supposed to.

i wish to be the quiet /a/ lurker

It's because they know you want to sleep with them so they can still be liked as they are where as men fear rejection and etc so they have to hide it or stay ronery if they can't.

Also women can't be ronery etc etc

I like violence-loving super dykes. Is that so wrong?

Sometimes I envy fujoshi. They don't have such a stigma attached. Really the only people that disdain them are us...the ones who try and cover our own power levels.

>>1667973
They care about power levels about as much as male otaku do.

>>1668008
You're gay.

>>1668008
you might like this eroge named the ガッツ！

>>1668015
How would you know this? From what I've seen it seems that more girls are open with thier weeabooness than guys. The people who cosplay 24/7 or at school are mainly girls.

>>1668021
>>1668025

Didn't we have this discussion last night?

>>1667961
20th was a furry.

I think it's easier for women to hang out together without being total faggots.

Can you imagine two guys hanging out in each other's rooms and trading animu pictures? Shit's SO queer.

>>1668021

Even when she puts her sweaty arm around me and declares that I'm one of the boys now? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>1668026
For every girl who fails to suppress her power level you will find a guy who fails to suppress his.
You just notice the girls more.

>>1668030
I actually like the art in this version better for some reason.

Kaiji is moe

Girls have an easier time socializing than guys. Plus since /jp/ has moved beyond most animus, that only leaves VNs and touhou to be discussed if we meet up in real life. And most of that shit is ment to be enjoyed in a solitary fashion. Fuck I have a friend that I introduced to Wanko. He fucking gives me a play by play action report over AIM. "OH SHIT WANKO IS SO CUTE" "OH MAN SHE IS SO CUTE EATING" FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>1668047
>He fucking gives me a play by play action report over AIM. "OH SHIT WANKO IS SO CUTE" "OH MAN SHE IS SO CUTE EATING" FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
How is this different from /jp/?

>>1668051
Because it's real time.

>>1668047

I still watch anime, I'm just very picky about what I watch. I usually just ignore whatever flavor of the month /a/ is watching and just try to find the gems that I missed from previous years.

>>1668051
Not the OP, but I think I'd rage if every faggot thread about Wanko popped up in a window, mandating my personal response.

>>1668066
Yeah, I get pissed off that if I don't watch something exactly when /a/ is watching it, I've missed the boat and nobody wants to talk about it anymore.

>>1668045
seconded

I stopped watching anime, I realized that most of them move too slowly and watching takes too much time so I usually just read the manga instead. unless the anime is different from the manga (school days).

I don't actually watch animes I prefer reading plot summaries and then pretending to have watched it on /a/.

Typical /jp/ "femanon" is probably fat yaoi fangirl though, why lie.

Some of those aren't even that bad, but the bad parts of them will piss you the fuck off.

Like the irritating white japanophile.
She looks pretty good, if only she would shut the hell up she would actually be bearable.

But even being the weeaboo I am I still wouldn't want to be caught dead in public with over half that list.
We suppress our power levels for good reasons.

>>1668091
Christ, I'm trying to sit through Monster and I'm raging at how slow-paced it is. It's supposed to be the BEST ANIME EVER!!1 and I think I've spent 5 hours combined watching people look depressed while eating German food.

>>1668112

BUT WHEN YOU USE CHOPSTICKS IT'S LIKE YOU'RE REALLY JAPANESE

The only anime I'm looking forward to is Strike Witches season 2, I'm trying to find the old stuff that I missed. Can you believe that I've never watched Haruhi?

>>1668118
SW was fun in a way but the series itself was kind of stupid. I can't imagine enjoying a second season.

I'm watching BARTENDER right now and toradora I guess. I have other stuff to watch but i'll wait for exams to finish...and an external HD.

>>1668108
Yeah, probably.

>>1668108
I found an actually nice looking /jp/ femanon. I'm pretty sure she's most likely from /jp/ with Ever17 and Touhou in her computer.

>>1668118
I fucking finally got to my episode and just cracked up for the next week. I paused it and haven't even watched beyond that yet. I'm debating whether the 30+ fucking episodes I've watched so far were worth that one moment.

>Can you believe that I've never watched Haruhi?
Wat.
You should actually watch Haruhi, it is the one overrated piece of shit that is actually pretty good. Watch it in TV broadcast order and skip episode 1 if you have to. I got pissed off at the "THE WHACKY ADVENTURES OF THE SOS CLUB!!" episodes and thought all the moments everyone else couldn't stop LOLing about were retarded, but by the end it became a pretty charming coming-of-age story. Your mileage may vary though.

Its not.... you got trolled by the samefag who makes the same monster threads over and over gain....

>>1668125
FUCK YEAH GARTENDER.
I'm kind of glad it was only as long as it was, though. I don't think I could've taken much more than that.

The only animu I can actively keep up with right now is Clannad after story but that's because I played the VN. Everything else feels like....otaku pandering or some shonen shit. *sigh* am I just getting too old for animu? Back when I was in high school I would just torrent every single series in sight just because it was anime. Now, recently I'm lucky to even have the patience or stamina to finish 2 animes in a year.

>>1668146
Fucking signed. I was looking forward to the Doujin Work anime but they turned it into another MOEMOE OTAKU MARKETING piece of shit. It was alright, and I actually liked some of the character designs better than the manga, but I raged at how often good manga gets mangled by the fanservice animu machine.

Same with the Comic Party anime. I don't know how the original VN was, but the manga was pretty fun, and then the anime was PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA HOT SPRINGS ffffffffffffffffffffffffff

>>1668142

The same guy who keeps posting that surgeon dude?

Lol fuck yes, I just got banned for posting NSFW images of Moral-tan on /a/

>>1668159
I'd like to see that.

>>1668159
lol were you there when people posting pictures of /a/non female were banned? Shit was SO cash.

>>1668146
>>1668155

One of my old school otaku friends who once did VHS subbing told me that when you get older, your tastes become refined. Also you realize you have less time. So you end up being more picky not because you are an elitist, but you want to watch something worthwhile and with substance. I guess you guys are like that in this regard.

>>1668166
I have them ALL... I even drew one or two of them

Except the /d/ crap eww

I still enjoy the animu.

>>1668172

Yeah, I have much less time these days and I often find myself deciding on whether I want to watch an anime episode or play a few minutes of a vn, because that's all the free time I have to spend.

>>1668172
Well that makes sense. These days I can only watch one or two anime series that are currently airing, if it's a good season. I mostly just watch J-doramas now (not that they're amazing, but they're much more bearable than most anime these days).

I don't download a whole lot of anime, but I never did.
Generally whatever I download is something I've wanted to watch in the first place.

I watched seasons one and two of digimon a few months back, shit was extremely cash and pleased my nostalgia.

I do download some other things now and then though, usually because /a/ or /jp/ keeps raving about it.
That's how I got into the higurashi anime.
If only the VN wasn't being translated so slowly...

Less time? Maybe for the normalbros.

I'm at over 800 series seen and I still watch every anime out there.

>>1668200

SORA SHOULD'VE WENT WITH TAI FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I'd teach her about love, if you know what I mean.

Women cannot stay true to a lifestyle like this.

I've just lost interest in everything, it seems. I watch a couple episodes of anime, and then never finish it off. Same goes for VNs; I play for a few hours, and then just stop. I don't know why either. I enjoy it while I'm watching/playing/whatever, but then I just can't seem to find motivation to finish it.

The conclusion I've reached is that I'm overloading on this shit, and so I've started doing other, non-weeaboo/geeky stuff in an effort to once again rouse my passion.

>>1668187
Aw, man. Now I've forgotten the name of this series.

>>1668215
Mononoke?

>>1668217

Yeah I burned out as well. I generally don't explore new animus or Vns anymore. I usually wait until everyone is praising it is before deciding to try it out. I find it easier to get a good VN out of recommendations than it is to get a good anime series out of recommendations.

Fanfiction writer is fucking hot and I'd probably hatefuck moralfag.

>>1668217
>>so I've started doing other, non-weeaboo/geeky stuff

You mean like uh.... er... what?

were there ever any more updates to the live action version?

>>1668217
sounds strangely like Depression.

>>1668172

This post kinda makes me depressed. It made me realize I am getting older and having less and less free time what with work and trying to get my CPA.

>>1668217
Fucking this. I lost my job and I thought "HEY TIME TO GET MY POWER LEVEL OVER 9000"
Fucking gave up after I finished like 2 series. I just don't have enough patience. I'll think "wow this is great" and then play Minesweeper for a few hours rather than watch the next episode.

>>1668229
Stop that.
>>1668239
>then play Minesweeper for a few hours rather than watch the next episode.
Isn't that normal?

>>1668239

I think you are just overloading. I can't marathon series either. Not like back in the day when I did Gundam Seed over a 3 day weekend.

There's no /jp/ girl ;_;

>>1668217
Yeah this actually does sound like depression. I got massively suicidal, and the first "symptom" was I didn't even want to watch any animu anymore.
Shit sux.

>>1668217

The only thing I ever dropped completely was Fate Stay Night, because the Fate route became so godawful with the explanations and cooking that I couldn't bear even grinding through it. I didn't want to spend the half-hour of free time each day to play it. Which is a shame, because I hear UBW and HF are much better routes. I keep the game installed in case I ever want to go back to it, but I don't think I could stomach another explanation again. Chaos;Head felt like a breath of fresh air after that, I could play for only a scene or two at a time and it still felt I was advancing the plot so I enjoyed it regardless of writing quality or whatever, so even though it's taking me forever to finish (I've been playing since the first alpha patch and I'm only at chapter six or something) it doesn't feel so bad.

I know what you mean about the non-weaboo stuff, I've been watching war movies and Fringe lately instead of playing VNs.

>>1668233

You'd think that, but no. I'm really quite happy with myself and my life at the moment.

>>1668226

You know, walking, cleaning my apartment, reading, applying myself at work.

>>1668223

heh same here. I only picked up Tsukihime after a year of /jp/ talking about it. I finally decided to play it and it was alright.

>>1668265
>walking
>cleaning my apartment
>applying myself at work
You lost me anon.

There is a common conception that Depression must involve horrible feelings of sadness, but this is not true. At its simplest, Depression involves a complete lack of motivation.

Enjoy doing things but can't get yourself to do them? If you do eventually get yourself to do it, quickly lose interest? Sit around for hours doing nothing or wondering what to do or unsuccessfully trying to get yourself to do something? Have trouble getting yourself to do even simple and necessary things (shower, laundry, dishes, eating, bathroom, sleeping)?

That is exactly what depression is. That is not growing out of things or losing interest, and most importantly, it's not simply an excuse to be lazy (as anyone who has experienced it can tell you: IT IS NOT FUN TO NOT BE ABLE TO GET ANYTHING DONE)

It is DEPRESSION.

>>1668248
no real girl can stand staying here for long.

>>1668288
oh god this is my life

I just can't seem to enjoy my free time anymore without feeling guilty, it seems all I ever do is study, when I first started college I studied around 2 hours a day? now I am studying around 6.

>>1668292
pfft. There are girls here, and you know it.

>>1668294
I wish I could study. All I ever do is alt-tab.

>>1668288
I hear that, bro. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

>>1668265
Wow, I didn't know that exercise counted. So that means even I do non-geeky things; crazy stuff.

But then again, I do listen to video game music while working out at the gym.

>>1668265
Depression is often accompanied with sadness, but it is not defined by it.

Then again, if you're still interested in other things you may simply be going through an ebb where you have less interest in anime. Phases are pretty common.

>>1668294
Whenever I try to study I end up browsing /jp/

Tonight I finally had a free night without any homework and even though I have anime and VNs piling up I spent over 4 hours lurking 4chan. Fuck.

>>1668302
"Tell me i'm not a girl now"

>>1668311

>>1227579518941.jpg

>>1668288

It's hard for me to tell what's a lack of motivation and what's just a lack of interest, though. I'm starting to think of video games and anime as just something for teens and shit, and if I spend a whole day playing video games it feels like I've wasted a day. I feel like free time should be spent studying, and any time that should be used for myself is when there's not enough time for a fruitful study session, ie the 20-30 minutes before I go to sleep or whatever. I guess I feel like I'm growing out of the stuff I used to enjoy. It kind of sucks since I feel no enjoyment from the stuff I used to like, but I haven't found anything yet that holds the same magic for me. Maybe this is what it means to be an adult.

>>1668298
non of them stay. 99.99% just arent desperate enough for attention to put up with all the shit and trolling /jp/ gives them just for having a vagina thats not made out of silicon. and dont get me started on the athens threads.

>>1668302
hello 00.01%.

>>1668302
you're pretty fat.

>>1668311
>>1668320
I don't see it. That person looks like a guy to me. Also, thank goodness I've missed that thread. What was /jp/ thinking...

>>1668233
>>1668250
this is just anhedonia, one of the symptoms of depression. maybe you're just losing interest in animu ;_;

>>1668288
that, and irritability ;_;

>>1668306

I just turn off my monitor when that happens, but I use my computer desk also as my work desk so it's always tempting to turn it back on and F5.

>>1668318
Lack of interest can be caused by it, too. One of the first questions a psychiatrist will ask you if you think you have Depression is "do you no longer enjoy things you used to enjoy?"

Of course, if you're still active and have enjoyment in other areas then that's probably not your problem.

It DOES seem to be the problem of significant portion of people here, though.

That pic isn't me.

>>1668324

Oh god, was there a camwhore thread here? We just got rid of a camwhore on /k/, fffffffffffffff they're everywhere now

>>1668306
>>1668301
The trick to my studying is self guilt, I also have started having trouble sleeping and when I dream I actually dream about writing my final report which is due next week which I have not started writing yet but I have the entire thing mapped out and have already done all the research.

>>1668318
>Maybe this is what it means to be an adult.

Fuck no. I hope you don't really believe that. All in all, it sounds like you've been brainwashed into believing that adults should all be responisble and productive members of society.

>>1668325
that only works when assignments don't require use of a computer, a la reports and anything needing the use of blackboard.

>>1668320
pfft. That just makes them hide better, not go away.

>>1668302
shooped

>>1668330
Who knows. There's a "'sup" and a date. One can only assume that there was.
>>1668331
I can produce tons of self-guilt. However, I don't seem to have enough energy to care.

>>1668329

I'm sure you knew that it would confuse some of the lower power levels if you reposted that, though.

>>1668318
Yeah, I feel like I've outgrown everything, but I have nothing I've grown into yet. Entertainment (anime/manga, normal TV/movies, etc) was such a big part of my life that without any interest in it, I have no idea what to do. Anything else I could do just seems equally pointless. I don't know if this is depression or a midlife crisis (at age 25 wut) or being inbetween hobbies or...what?

>>1668347
I was momentarily confused by it, and my power level is just fine thank you.

>>1668332
I just don't want to throw away my life, I don't want to wake up one day to find out that I am working a job I hate for mere pennies along with the realization that I wasted everything my parents sacrificed to give me a better life, my parents were both immigrants they worked 24/7 just to send me to a $50,000 a year private college.

>>1668354

Filenames, bro!

>>1668358
That doesn't mean you can't have fun.

>>1668358

Responsibility is like a boulder that crushes and twists you into the ground.

>>1668352
Same, except I just feel that my tastes have narrowed and there is just a small amount of industry dedicated to my interests.

>>1668359
why would you even need to look at the filename when the date on it is 2 days old

>>1668229
Oh christ, I know the "normal quiet /a/ lurker" from that.

No comment.

>>1668359
It's late, I'm tired.
Plus it could have been intentionally named that way in order to confuse people. Having not seen it the first time, I didn't know it was a repost.

>>1668367
could've been too lazy to take a new picture.

>>1668358
Oh god, I read that as mere penises... I'm in a similar situation, but I go to a public university so it's easier to manage. It'd be nice if I could get myself together, but it's going to be difficult. In high school, I had a finishing line so I actual tried, but now it's different. I don't really see anything ahead of me anymore. Kind of like Mizuki, but without the sex, drugs, and vagina.

>>1668362
The sad thing is..... most of the kids who were actually having fun lost their scholarships and had to transfer or drop out. The freshman class sizes are xbox hueg compared to the soph classes, I would probably estimate that 50% - 70% dropped out.

>>1668375
You have little experience with camwhores, then.

>>1668381
they're having too much fun.

>>1668405
I have to say that you are correct about that. Normally I ignore them if they show up.

>>1668302
Nice shoop, definitely saved for further trolling

>>1668288
Oh god, this is me ;_;

>>1668341
>>1668421

This isn't shopped, this girl posted it like two days ago when someone questioned her claim of being a female and she posted this with a sentence like "Tell me i'm not a girl now" or something.

>>1668288
So now that I know I have depression HOW DO I FIX THIS SHIT?

God I wish I was rich, then I could do whatever I want whenever I want :( fuck life, fuck society. When will they invent robots to do everything so nobody has to work?

>>1668428
Fucking attention whore.

>>1668434
You need a drug, but I can't remember what it's called. It had something to do with dango.

>>1668434

watch kogepan

>>1668434
Talk to a psychiatrist.

>>1668434

See a therapist, but anon never leaves his basement.

>>1668428
Why didnt she at least lose 20 kg before posting the picture...

>>1668434
Stop being depressed.

>>1668428
No woman on /jp/, if that is an actual unshooped woman then the poster probably convinced his sister,friend,girlfriend to pose.

>>1668469
You're right, no woman who browses /jp/ would stoop to such a level.

>>1668457
sounds like effort

>>1668066
>I still watch anime, I'm just very picky about what I watch. I usually just ignore whatever flavor of the month /a/ is watching and just try to find the gems that I missed from previous years.
And by "the gems that I missed" do you mean obscure lolicon titles?

>>1668492

Well it's a little bit of effort for potentially a lot of gain, but yeah.

>>1668493

Nah, I'm not into loli.

>>1668498
a lot of gain? theres nothing out there
not to mention having a life is a lot of work
id rather stay here where its nice and quiet and i dont have to deal with anything if i dont want to
sure, its boring, but the alternative doesnt sound any better

>>1668508
>id rather stay here where its nice and quiet

I think we all want this, but you can't spend your entire life in your room, you need to pay rent, you need to buy food, you need a job.

>>1668527
i really dont.

>>1668288
This is hitting pretty close to home for me.

It's not as though I don't have reasons to be depressed about though, and they're not related to women.

You know who's willing to hire a drop out with little work experience in america, when you practically need a diploma to flip burgers anymore because of bush?
Nobody.

>>1668302
A real girl in /jp/.
And she got the date wrong.

How can you get the date wrong? The computer comes with a fucking calender installed. It's impossible to get the wrong date.

Totally beneath my standards. I only care about girls that can keep time.

>>1668567
You my Sir sure have high standards... I doubt you'll find a girl you like.

>>1668567
How is the date wrong?

>>1668567
maybe she lives in like australia or something lol

>>1668567
the picture is 2 days old.

Well, some gurls XD do browse 4chan. Nothing too peculiar about it.

Yes well, okay, let us attention whore, then.

>>1668587

I still wanna see that Moralfag /h/ you people mentioned
