>Depression is all in your head!

*In response to you pointing out logical inconsistencies within a film*

"ITS A MOVIE!"

When they say no.

"Can't you just play for fun? Stop complaining!"

..okay, I'll go back to my harmony board now.

I've been seeing this image on 4chan forever. Anyone care to tell me where it is from?

>>1578934

you're a faggot for not thinking that's a legitimate defense for a movie

>>1578952
jsut a guess, but I think it's "whose line is it anyway"

>>1578952
A show called Whose line is it anyway, with Drew Carry hosting the american version.

>>1578952
some murrican staged comedy game show

>>1578952
Didn't you have a TV in the 90s?

>>1578934
>>1578934
i hate it when people do that. it IS a freaking movie for fucks sake.

"So let me get this straight, you stay in your room all day and watch japanese cartoons? That's pretty sad, bro"

>>1578970
I did, but I'm from the Balkans

>>1578955
How is it a legitimate defence?
It goes against the tenants of Aristotelian tragedy and verisimilitude.

>>1578983

>>1578974
So basically if you saw Luke Skywalker drinking Pepsi, or some other illogical thing like that you would have no problem?

Or if in Man on Fire, Denzel Washington suddenly gets superpowers for no apparent reason and starts flying around and shoots laser beams out of his eyes?

After all, it IS a movie, therefore one doesnt have to put any effort into making a coherent plot, am i right?

>>1578955
Look, Im not saying there isn't a place for movies to have fantasy enviroments or whatever. But the movies should at least abide by the rules of their internal universe.

For example, if in a Superman movie, Superman gets shot in the head by a sniper, that wouldn't make any sense. Before bullets bounced off of him, now suddenly they're effective?

That would be an example of a movie "not making sense". Again, im NOT saying a movie cant have lightsabers, or ninjas that bounce off walls or shit like that, but the movies should at least be faithful to the internal logic of the plots of the movie.

>Why are you so quiet anon?

Maybe because you spent the last two hours talking about people I don't know or events where I wasn't present?

THREAD DERAIL!

>Could you dumb that down for me?
>I'm not an idiot!

"Just man the fuck up, hit the gym and your confidence will rise!!"

>>1579075
Product placement is a little different. Any movie that purposely does that is usually just panned as a terrible movie. I think Need for speed and Torque are two good examples of that.

>play video games 2-3 hours a day after work, then I usually socialize, have people over ect
>anon, why do yo play so many video games, don't you have a life
>they are on facebook for the entire time they are on their computer, and they have to have a smart phone for facebook

Im obviously the one with the addiction

>Be yourself.
Motherfucker, I AM being myself. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

>>1579117
>Why are you so damn quiet?

Gee, let's see: One, I don't have a lot of charisma or naturally high interpersonal skills, and I've been heavily abused over that one. Because of that, I became depressed and self-hating, leading to shyness and low self-esteem, which leads to MORE bullying. Because of that, I try not to get any attention over myself, which ironically does just that.

If you aren't charismatic and/or socially skilled, you'll get shit on all over.

And you have the FUCKING AUDICITY to ask me to talk more often, when that itself leads me to being in fucking danger?

FUCK YOU, NORMALFAGGOTS. YES I FUCKING MAD. FUCKING EXTROVERTS AND THEIR RETARDED LOGIC.

>>1579168
Lifes not fair son. I was once you. Make an effort. I mean a REAL, LONG effort. Even if it takes you years and years. Because it did for me. Eventually, if you have the will, you will find a way.

>>1579151
But would you agree that product placement in a movie that has a plot that takes place in the present day is slightly more acceptable than if it were in a Star Wars movie?

In the first instance it is a modern product from our world that is being inserted into a movie about our modern world. In the second, it is a product from our world being inserted into a completely different reality.

Would you agree that that would be an example of a movie "not making sense"?

>>1579181

It's easy for you because you're probably outgoing as fuck, anyway.

For the rest of us, such is not that simple.

also, >>1579038 this so fucking much

get a real hobby

>>1579207
I'm not even a quiet person and I get this all the time.

I just never like the girls who hit on me, and am too bashful to think of anything to say to the girls I do like.

>>1579200
Those are all true. Enjoy being stupid.

Okay, I'm not prone to screaming NORMALFAG!!!, but the very notion that somehow, only some hobbies are the "real" ones and the rest are "non-real" (?) smacks of normalfaggotry.

>>1579038
>mfw people always say this

THIS. Let me find one when I'm ready.

Friends have tried to hook me up before (never anything above a 7/10), despite how I never asked them to, and my disinterest. It always makes things awkward when I don't show interest, especially since society expects men to fuck anything that moves. Then they act so surprised when I don't want to hook up...

>Get a life
What the fuck does this mean? Just because I like to draw and because I have skill doesn't mean my whole world revolves around it. Fucking normalfags think that if you're not out there talking your ass off everyday you must be some loser.

>>1579193
>outgoing as fuck

LOLno. But I do make a solid effort. Most people tell me I come across as earnest, sensitive, and slightly goofy. But guess what? I still manage to get laid, get gfs, and have friends.

Its not impossible guys.

>>1579235
>>1579223

'Real' hobbies are creative, artistic, athletic, or otherwise somehow constructive. They often challenge you physically or mentally and require you to engage yourself in pursuit of a worthwhile end result. Don't get mad because you can't defend the pathetic interests and pass-times you use to make your existence bearable.

>>1579254
What do you draw?

>Meeting older relatives
>Anon! You're so handsome, I bet the girls are all over you.
Is this all old people think about, whether or not the younger generation is getting their dick wet. It's fucking everytime I meet older relatives it always boils down to if I have a girlfriend or not.

>Bro, next time you go out, go hit on 5 girls. Try to get 50 contacts after the month.
One thing I do not understand about normalfags is that they think getting a girlfriend is the center of your life. My life is a wreck at the moment and I don't wanna drag somebody down with me. Let me put it all back together before I try to hit on girls.

>>1579294

> "Don't blame me!"

Normalfag detected.

>>1579254
What do you draw?

(this is not a flood post, eat shit robot)

>>1579306
Whatever comes to mind. Apparently I'm so good at it that it scares the normals.

>>1579294
>>1579294
Hobbies aren't supposed to be constructive, you twat, they're past-times. Nobody is expected to better humanity when fishing.

"You act as if she was the only girl left on the planet. Get over it, man."

>We're just trying to be nice. Fuck you.
When they were insulting me the whole time.

>We're all the same.
Racial, gender, and other categories.

>Mental disorders are real!
Describing a made up DSM disorder which has no science to support its "brain chemical imbalance" hypothesis that is diagnosed at the sole subjective discretion of their psychiatrist. They usually have these for feeling lonely or even a little sad. The lack of psychological preparation to deal with failure properly defines the insulated experiences of normalfags.

>Hip-hop isn't music. I listen to deadmau5 and Skrillrex.
The exclusion of the former is the reason for love of the latter.

>Honesty is the best policy.
Only true if you want to offend everybody and be ostracized by normalfags. They love being lied to.

>Reading/videogames/computer is a waste of time. Get a life.
They think their life is meaningful because they gossip on Facebook, get drunk with others, have almost immediately regrettable sexual encounters, and make character blunders.

>You have no feelings.
When I share them with you, you tell me to shut up.

>Hey man, why you never come clubbing? it's so fun!

I've been asked this when I'm already able to get girls, I have been in relationships yet for some reason everything revolves around alcohol and trying to dance with bitches. It's boring, the music is always pop shit, the drinks are expensive and I have no interest in scoring some slutty STD bag of a whore just so I can slip my cock into her worn out pussy.

Why can't we just go do something else and spend our money on something a bit more productive.

>>1579345
Didn't mean to post with name sorry.

>>1579337
When your hobbies become constructive, you're then called a Renaissance Man. They're not considered hobbies anymore

>"I understand how you feel. Confidence is a bitch to try and have, when your picture of the world isn't complete. As long as you still have unanswered questions about reality, you can't base yourself on anything. Some people can base their confidence in belief and not knowledge, but not you. That just proves that you're more set for society than them. But you still need those answers, and if you're not able to understand the whole picture, then you might be asking the wrong questions. I'd like to give you a hand with asking those questions, so you still get the answers yourself. But I'm not going to force that on you, since that'll make me just another asshole. So if you ever want to get something cleared up logically, just come to me. This is an outstretched hand that you're not ethically obliged to take. Use it if you want to."

Fucking normalfag thinks he knows better than me.

>large boobs are awesome

>>1579346
Yeah. It really is kinda boring. I can understand it if you're someone who's good at dancing and likes the sort of music they play but I don't see the appeal beyond that.

>>1579397
just... go with the flow.
do what you want to do. say what you want to say. don't be influenced by something else.

I just have to say that as a person who identify myself as fairly normal (at least compared to depressed shut-in neckbeards), I have got to say the conception of normalfags here on r9k is rather absurd.

>>1579406
You do this and they say "get a life" because whatever you do is "weird" and "not normal". For fuck's sake, leave me alone already.

>>1579419
it's alright man. i know that feel all over.

>>1579396
No, because he will amend his definition to exclude "ew, nerdy" stuff from it.

Unless, of course, said "nerdy stuff" will make him look cool to his hipster friends. Behold, /r9k/, the normalfag.

>>1579406
>>1579397
Worst advice if you're not a normalfag already.

>>1579294
Ive always agreed with this pretty much. Its just weird somehow when someone says thier hobby is playing vidya or watching tv/movies. Such a pointless time waster which while possibly enjoyable is really only for those who are happy to be sedated and complacent. Worthwhile hobbies should be more than watching polygons move around on a screen, but thats just me i guess.

>>1579416
Of course it is. Arcanines have a twisted conception of normality, simply because they are not normal themselves. Since they've been told they're not normal all their lives, they demonise everything they hate by building this image of the "super-normal person", i.e. of a normalfag.

>>1579397
I am myself.
And myself is teling yourself to kindly fuck off.


Fucking twats like these, man.

"anon get your dick out of the pasta" Fucking normalfags

>>1579452
Exactly. Not to say I don't play video games and watch movies from time to time, but to call it a genuine hobby, something which is part of your identity, is just sad.

Concluding this thread all I can say is that haters always have, and always will, hate.

Him: Really?

>dubstep starts to play at work

>just nod
Him: what music do you listen to?
Me: Alternative rock, I likestuff that blues-y, classic rock, 80s stuff

>He goes quiet the res of the day
I don't know if he found me boring or if he realized that he's a 39 year old man child.

Wow. I used to come here and to /lit/ because I thought you guys were kidding about all these weird idiosyncrasies (crippling social anxiety, fake social problems, pretend depression, misogyny etc).

This thread makes me sad that society has left you fellows behind.

As a "normalfag" I will not return here anymore

What about the influx of normalfags conflating hobbies and subcultures? That was annoying when it happened.

I love this thread

Playing vidya or watching movies isn't just following poligons on the screen. You must be fucking retarded to genuinely believe this. Vidya is an adventure, films are stories to live through.

>>1579495
>Quoting wikipedia
look at the article again, faggot.

>>1579346
A girl at a club fucks lets say one guy a month. This is a conservative estimate. This means she only fucks one guy about every four weeks. Just think of all those guys hitting on her everyday, and especially every weekend at the club.
This means she fucks 12 guys a year
Let's say she does this for three years: She's fucked 36 guys.

One guy every two months for three years? 18 guys.
One guy every three months for three years? 12 guys.

Thats pathetic. You shouldn't have to live vicariously trough a tv screen. Try going a week without tv or vidya and see how you feel. You'll have more energy and feel more outgoing because you're not being sedated by a screen for hours every day

Not a normalfag, but my Mum. IF DAT COUNTS.

>Just reply with "Are you offering?" and if they say no then just state "Well there's your answer then.".

Considering that it's only unavailable women who ask this, no. Just no.

>>1579808
...because videogames are so much more useless than playing farmville or reading some retard celebrity's tweets?

For those of you pitching a fit over the whole "tv/vidya" argument:

Edward R. Murrow: "Television may be the opiate of the people. They'll sit there for hours on end and be content with doing nothing."

T.V results in practically no brain activity, video games and mentally so much better, but still not great. That is how bad T.V is.

>>1579248
This is the quickest way to piss me off. I almost punched one of my best friends in the face because of this. I ended up yelling at everyone that was present (the girl in question was one room over and heard everything).

Was very uncharacteristic of me since I'm really quiet, even amongst my best friends. Now they know to not pull this stupid shit with me.

>>1579903
This can be said about any hobby. Also it's not doing nothing, it's being excited about what you see. To vidya it's even more retarded because it's interactive and needs concentration.
Also you're a faggot for quoting someone famous and thinking it will automatically make sense.

>"I am so weird, I wear the merchandise of/watch/am obsessed with/love it more than anything pokemon/harry potter/popular things seen as geeky or alternative when really everyone knows about it and has liked it once. Tumblr, haha I'm so random." -

>"Anon, what the fuck - you're so weird because you get too into this shit. Let's make fun of anon because anon genuinely likes the things that make us 'geeky' and 'weird'."

>>1579994
What was that thing specifically?

>>1580063

It varies.

Basically anything that is considered "geeky".

I'm just over "I'm so weird and different" I suppose.

Just like shit that you like, why are you waving it in my face?

>>1579969
it's doing nothing in the sense that you are neer more than you were before you sat down to watch tv


defensiveness comes from insecure people

>people still assume I'm just a quiet normalfag, that I've had sex and pull etc

What the fuck is wrong with people?! I'm clearly a weirdo with no interest in the same things as normal people. Fuck I really need to go to the uni DnD club or video game society.

WTF IS THIS SHIT.

Nobody really likes these things, yet there are these overly enthusiastic neanderthals scream at the top of their lungs and they're ACTUALLY excited.

I don't fucking get it.

>>1580063
Anything related to computers.
Not that anon, but normalfags like to bandwagon on obscure geeky stuff yet when they find someone who genuinely likes it they think it's weird that the guy is so happy he's finally found SOMEONE who shares his interests.

I hate normalfags because 99% of them lack empathy.
I seriously believe they don't even think rape and murder is wrong, they just pretend to because everyone else pretends to.

Some guy who gets treated like shit his whole life and acts accordingly is treated with EVEN MORE scorn instead of them realize "Hey, this guy was treated like shit. I should help him feel better"

>>1580141
>>1580141
This. What an ungrateful moody cunt.

I should know because I occasionally pull shit like this but at least I know its a problem.

>>1579107

I can actually relate to this. It really breaks my immersion when I notice dumb inconsistencies like that.

That's why I loved Star Trek, while it obviously had many inconsistencies it masked the fuck out of them with techno babble thus making them tolerable.

>>1580216

Lol me too, I'm not as bad as some people on here (slept with 3 entire women) but people think I'm some kind of casanova, I've been single for 4 years.

>IF YOU SAY SO BROMINE SOLUTION

>>1580390
>>1580390
Precisely my point. Most people who pull the "Its a MOVIE" card generally are those who either dont notice inconsistencies or seem to think they dont matter or are justified just because a movie is fictional.

My whole point is they should be especially careful to not be inconsistent when it comes to fiction because its really hard to get pulled in when the movie just seems to be arbitrarily making shit up as it goes along.

It happens alot in games as well.

I guess after awhile; yes, it becomes you, but that's not really you? idk it confuses me. its like a paradox? am I alone on this "I'm going to be a Hipster/pokefan(those extremes you see?)" can anyone help me out?
I've thought about trying it because it is a type of peacocking. or am I wrong?
