/a/ is so infested with casuals and newfags it's not even funny

Hey /a/, this might be a weird question, but how do I not be a faggot?

Every time I post someone calles me a faggot. And okay I know I'm kind of an awkward person to be around but I am trying to ficks that, but when everyone just yells faddot in my face it makes me feel like I should not try and just stay a loser forver. I just want a place where I can fit in and talk with other anime fans without being make fun of. Why am I faggot? What can I do to help myself and everyone here to not be conceived as a faggot?

pic related it's the frog who feels bad just like me

There is one guy at work I talk about anime regularly and there is another at poker.

I fall into your category, OP, but for the most part I'm a shut-in with a few close friends that I drink & smoke with occasionally, but seldom venture out into society.

I do have friends, I don't like seeing them, though. I just want a quiet life.

>I just want a place where I can fit in and talk with other anime fans without being make fun of.

faggot

The insulting other's tastes and endless bickering is part of the experience, deal with it, bro.

>>55380544
What do you think OP is? both

I GOT MAD AMOUNT OF EPIC BROS, YO

>>55380602
This.

I don't watch anime or read manga with anyone, I do have a very eventful social life. I'm actually commonly called an alcoholic and live with 5 other bros, no college involved.

In reality I stick around for One piece, GL, rule 63, and joke Bleach threads. Call me casual all you want buuuuuuuuuuuut I could go for some 63 now that I mentioned it.

>>55380602
Are you me?

I talk on a regular basis to a select group of people and I have extended friendships from high school that I acknowledge when the occasion calls for it.

When it comes to anime I have one other guy who watches about as regularly as I do (not sure if he does nowadays) and a few others who I usually give shows to whenever they ask me "what's a good anime to watch".

>>55380581
If you want a place where everyone is nice to each other try gaia. or stay here but stop being a faggot.

>>55380581
AAHHAHAHAHAH HA HHAAHAHAHAHAH HHAHAHAH
>sup patrick

I remember when I made my first "Is this what /a/ really believes?" thread. It was about waifus. What's worse if that it took me a year to even get to that stage. But now I am a wiser man and realize that you will never get a straight answer from /a/nons about anything.

>spend most of your time indoors watching
>never seeing another human being for days at a time
> refuse to get a facebook or similar social network
>"waah I have no friends"

>>55380523
Not everyone is as lucky as you, OP. Why do you think anons seem so bitter all the time? We're very lonely people.

None of this applies during summer, on the weekends, or after school lets out in the United States. During those times /a/ is just edgy teenagers shitposting until bedtime.

I have no friends at all. Haven't had anything resembling one for a few years now.

>>55380602
Sums it up well.

>but I have bros that I watch anime with regularly, who are not weeaboo faggots, who know how to hide their power levels, whom I can drink with. Is that really so rare?

Yes, extremly rare. Most people who like anime are Narufags etc.

I'm a very introverted betafag and while I don't have large number of friends the ones that I do have are very close. In fact they're the ones that introduced me to anime all those years ago.

>>55380625

You know, I don't think you can equate having friends or interacting with people as normalfaggotry in and of itself. Even Don Quixote had Sancho Panza.

>>55380729
It's not rare, atleast not in Estonia.

>>55380650
Also one of thiose bros, on the second floor, is a total giant robot fag. Kid jerks too Gundams. Personally I prefer Small people super punching shit. But we both have been getting smashed for over a decade together, /a/ is probably the least thing people know about us, and we dont hide it.

I know quite a lot of people. They are nice people too. But I am too lazy to socialize.

I do talk about anime and whatnot with few people, they browse 4chan too.

It's currently six o'clock AM EST in the US. Anyone posting at this time is likely a shut-in without a job/school to worry about.

>>55380602
This. All of them are stupid normalfags with petty problems and can't think for themselves. They still bug me constantly to get out and go drinking/partying with them even though I just want to stay indoors by myself.
For those who've never been clubbing before: It's a horrible experience ;_;

if you leave your house for anything other than groceries, you're a normalfag

I juggle 2 lives. one online life with online friends from all over europe, anime, online games etc, and one regular one with 4-5people whom i hang out with every now and then. The 2 never interact with eachother.

>>55380771
Or, you know, are fron Yurop
It's 12:32 here

I have a bunch of "college friends" and one real friend.

I used to back in my third world country, but now that I live in this country, I'm a complete loner.

>>55380778
Well, fuck it then. I also buy cigarettes.

OP here, thanks for the responses. I guess I should treasure what I have then.

Also, so you feel better, observe our shitty taste and then feel smugly superior!

Shows watched with bros: HotD, Evangelion +rebuild
Currently: Baka Test, Penguindrum
Next in line: Madoka, Geass (for their sake, I've already experienced it), Brotherhood

>>55380803
Who the fuck would want to know what anime you watch with your "bros"? Go write on MAL about it.

I'm so depressive lately that I don't even want to hang around my friends.

Having friends to discuss anime is one of my least problems.

>>55380803
Drop FMA and that's a decent list, faggot

>>55380803
That just made me rage. Get the fuck out
>>>/gaia/

>>55380803
>penguinshit
You're right, I do feel better.

>>55380833
>FMA
>Bad
Fuck off

I have friends but i only watch anime with two certain ones. One got me into it and another I introduced it to

I also watch anime with my sister.

>>55380865
Your imouto?

It may make me a normalfag, but I have to work because my parent will not pay all my living expenses while I sneer at them behind their back for being bourgeois plebs like the rest of /a/. So I have to interact with people, which keeps me from getting too lonely. But I don't have any real "friends" in my current area, and my job has me at different places nearly every day, so it's hard finding any. I've considered going on /soc/, but it doesn't seem like the sort of people I'd like to hang out with use that board. Also, poverty prevents me from leaving the house a lot, because gasoline is expensive and my city's public transportation is only used by minorities, and it feels too awkward to be the only white guy on the bus.

I'd rather have a girlfriend

I have people I keep in contact with online like once or twice every few weeks, but that's about it. If you mean friends outside of the internet, then they number approximately zero.

>>55380885
>Mean score 8.1
Why do MALfags do this? Isn't it supposed to 1-10, not 7-10?

>>55380885

I've long given up on teaching MALfags how to count, it's a hopeless cause

>>55380949
2012 WILL BE HER YEAR

My only friend is my older brother. We hardly share any interests though. I don't even have any internet friends apart from /a/.

>>55380939
My average is also around 8. But only because I

a) select stuff before I watch it to avoid watching shit
b) if I end up watching shit I drop it early and don´t give it a score at all because I don´t think I can judge a 26+ episode show after 3 episodes...

But yeah, most users give only scores from 8-10 and if they hate a show they´ll rate it with 1.

>>55380939
YOU MEAN THERE ARE SCORES LESS THAN 6?

WHAT

FUX

>>55381005
I'll just never understand this. I actually have a MAL too, and my AVERAGE is 6. I almost feel like that's too high, shouldn't it be 5 (Average)? I just feel like if you have your favorite anime at 10 along with twenty others and some average show you've already forgotten about at 9 that the 10 means nothing.

Doth thou not remember the last signature debacle?

Yes that is a signature.

Wasn't that only like 4 months ago?

They are not friends. They are just part of your faced for the sociality.

>>55380996
Even if you only watch stuff you enjoy, 10 is supposed to be for the thing you really like. If half of the anime you've seen is rated 9 or 10, then it isn't "special" anymore. o excuses, you're just as bad as the others.
Everything between 5 and 10 means it's good, like it should be. Just because you moderately enjoyed it doesn't mean it's an instant 7.

>>55380523
>I have bros that I watch anime with regularly, who are not weeaboo faggots, who know how to hide their power levels, whom I can drink with. Is that really so rare?

im in the same boat as you OP,
we´re gonna go into town today and later go to my place to watch fate zero on my my projector,
shit gonna be cash

>>55380602
I think the thread ended here.

>>55381168
Why is this guy not banned yet?

I thought we had an established policy on signatures and extensive faggotry.

>>55381088
My average is 7.8 but I only have six 10s out of ~100 anime. I guess a 6-10 rating system just happens subconsciously.

>>55381264
Dunno.
Hes doing the whole signature thing which has been done a million times already.

>>55381210
Sure, you´re right. When I first started using MAL some years ago I was far too generous with 9 and 10 and adjusted that later. But 5 is supposed to be "average", not "good". As I see it, 5 belongs to all those shows which are forgettable yet not too annoying. Everything below 5 is stuff you have a hard time watching down to 1 which is supposed to be "unwatchable". And I´ve yet to find something I consider "unwatchable".

>>55381264

Initial analysis shows a correlation of the formspring, mal and /a/ related memes and indicators.

The lack of explicit mention of anime in his profile alongside the blatant 3x3's and figma is an assured indicator of the will to be congruent with /a/ dogma's.

Although there remains the possibility that some third party is using the above mentioned to his advantage in an effort to drum up animosity for this person in question, it is my professional opinion that this poster is in fact Eli Steinauer.

I have friends. They don't watch anime though. Anime is strictly "solo time" time for me. It's what I turn to when I want to relax and enjoy something different. Hell I barely join in the discussion of (currently airing/watching) shows online as it is.

To be honest I would rather just keep as it is, which is me just watching anime, and if their ever interested, I will talk to them about it. But it's not a sociable thing to talk about, so best to keep your thoughts to one side.

I have a few close ones but I really enjoy my alone time. Being with people for too long drains me of patience and energy.
I like them in small doses.
