Interesting

The first Japanese news thingy that has been interesting.

>lack of interest in sex and their preference for quieter, less competitive lives
NEET

Looks like we all eat grass now.

Why does the Japanese media feel the need to invent a new label for anyone who acts slightly out of the norm?

Stop spamming http://www.An9nTalk.com/ ("9" = "o")

But won't you have to eat grass all day to stop starvation?

>>2783083
I was just thinking that.

It's funny, since this is not a recent nor "modern" situation. Fucking media is what's wrong.

>>2783083
Because it's fun, actually.

I'm not sure what i prefer, i think NEET still has a pretty neat ring to it

I'll just stay NEET, thank you.

>>2783087
No, you will still die. Your body can't process vegetation properly to begin with (can't do meat right either but that isn't the point). Grass has so little of what your body needs that it won't be enough to sustain you short term let alone long term. I'd give you a few days at most till you die of starvation. I'm leaving infections and whatnot out of this, and there are some fun ones you can pick up from eating grass.

>>2783089
Yeah but NEET is too specific and doesn't necessarily imply what the thing in the article does.

I can't stand the term, personally. "Herbivore?" Good Lord. They're limp-wristed faggots, plain and simple.

>>2783103
As opposed to all the manly men that post here, right?

>>2783103
They're not interested in sex.

>>2783083
That's Japan for you. Not the norm = weird and with the birth-rate and economic situation japanese society should reflect itself, but with conservative societies that doesn't really work, and obviously they won't change anything so at least they want to know the consequenses and counteract or even demonize them

For all those who still haven't realized, the topic means "Grass-eater is the new NEET" not "Grass-eater = NEET" as in newest media sensation, not replacement of terminology.

>>2783103
It's been common nickname for people who abstain from "meat", although uncommon and even rarely used to describe priests. This has been going around for centuries, so what are you trying to do? Imply your masculinity and virility? That just makes you sound like a child earning for attention from his peers.

>>2783098
A monotonous diet of anything will eventually kill you. Humans are omnivores, and do best with a wide variety of foods. Of course, individual differences will mean that some people can't eat things that others can, with peanut allergies being one of the more drastic examples.

Oddly enough, all infections I'm aware of humans catching from eating grass aren't actually from the grass, but from whatever happened to take a dump on the grass. Just cook throughly, and you can eat all the grass you want, though it's not going to give you much except fiber. It's really too bad that we can't process cellulose.

>>2783127

Did you mean yearning? I am calling them mongrels of the same sort as "metrosexuals" and other effeminates. Better a recluse than that sort of person.

I lol'd at the posters taking the OP title literally.

>>2783146

Maybe you should be a bit more clear next time, OP.

I like Mad Men.

>>2783149
Lol maybe you should learn comprehension lol media understanding lol

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

>>2783153

Oh boy, I see your summer vacation has finally started.

>>2783139
Yup, and you will be basically killing yourself with that fiber. It will be a shitty way to go.

>>2783158

Yeaaaaaaaaah!!

>>2783146
One person mentioned it (likely as a joke), and I kind of made a comment based on that and a side thing start? big deal. I doubt anyone took the OP's title literally.

>>2783144
Yes, I did mean yearning, mistype perhaps.

>"metrosexuals" and other effeminates
Then you are an illiterate fuck. Seriously just read it again, until you actually understand what's there.
>Until recently, Igarashi, a 27-year-old Japanese television presenter, would have been considered effeminate, even gay. Japanese men have long been expected to live like characters on Mad Men, chasing secretaries, drinking with the boys, and splurging on watches, golf, and new cars.
>Named for their lack of interest in sex and their preference for quieter, less competitive lives.

>>2783172

What people write and the truth are two very different things. They can paint it however they like, they are still effeminates, deviants of no use to the society that produced them.

I think I could get behind this.

I like the idea of a whole generation that renounces sex.

Sounds like taking it easy basically.

>>2783182
>deviants of no use to the society that produced them.
>/jp/

Lol at americans coplaining about japanese men.

Everyone knows that aside from asians the american men are the most feminine.

>>2783182
If you are like that and yearn for sex, women and other worldly affairs, then you're either part of the youth summer entourage, a first-timer on /jp/ or a blatant retard, most likely all of them.

I'm afraid this board isn't for you. Good luck on your journey searching for a new place to "fit in".

Grass-eaters. Pretty much describes all Japanese. They are more effete than a French homosexual.

Metrosexual is just a media label for a fashion-style, many normalfags wear this style. This has nothing to do with a more the taking-it-easy life-style approach.

I apologize for the repeatedly use of the term style on /jp/

This pretty much relates to me. I even don't eat other meat than fish.

So taking it easy is gay and effeminate now?

>>2783291
This is what normalfags really believe

>>2783291
Japanese are generally effeminate.

>>2783182

Way to project yourself there.

>>2783291
Yes. Unless your first thought as you wake up in the morning is 'time to bang some bitches yo', you are most certainly gay.

>>2783291
Basically yeah. It's a known fact that everyone is gay in Gensokyo and that doesn't exclude yukkuris.

Therefore no, it doesn't make you effeminate but it does make you gay.

>COMMENTS

>Just because the roles for very young men in this very patriarchal society

Stopped reading right there.

When I'm reading this I can't help but imagine Nobunaga Oda as shown in sengoku rance. And he is pretty cool. Where is the problem?

What if you RAGE all the time and have a job? I find money is more important than sex as the former can get me as much of the latter as much as I want.

>>2783219
but european men carry purses I heard

>>2783344
You are still a loser in the eyes of normalfaggotry.

>>2783355
I knew that already.

>>2783344
>former can get me as much of the latter as much as I want.

Well, yeah, if you don't mind dying of syphilis in some dark alley.

>>2783360
Dark alley? I'm talking quality service providers here man. If you had a job you'd be able to afford one and understand what I'm talking about.
