    314 KB Anime as a substitute for real life Anonymous 12/31/08(Wed)02:39:28 No.2606710  
    Hey r9k, serious topic here:

    I have this friend, let's call him Fred. Fred watches a huge amount of anime. Fred is also a physics/math genius. But Fred is kinda socially awkward. Let's put this into perspective: he doesn't socialize well, like at all; he is partially /b/tarded, especially when he is drunk (get back into the kitchen and what not); when at dinner, we sat with a different group of people than usual, and after which he said "he doesn't like new people"; when asked about empathy, he says has little to none; and finally, when given a would you rather between friends and his computer, he chose his computer. So yeah, not the most social kid.
    Before Christmas break (we are in college), I browsed through his anime folders to take some home. In them I found a lot of "slice of life" and "romance" type anime. Now, I started pondering this and came to the conclusion that Fred "feels" through anime. The two types fit the emotions missing in his life.
    Now, I am no psychfag, but what does /r9k/ think about my theory.

    If you've seen seen an /a/ or /jp/ ronery thread, you would realize that you're right on the mark. The most hardcore enthusiasts on /jp/ even claim that they are only attracted to 2D women.

    I think, and this might sound strange, that Fred is a retarded BAWWWfag who should grow up.

    He has friends. He's got something that most of /a/ and /jp/ don't have.

    oh, he is perfectly attracted to real woman, but objectifies them.

    Everyone has emotions - some they don't wish to admit. Fred is reading those romance animes to please his romantic emotions but doesn't want to look like he's into romance.

    It's the same with how I think of religion and faith. Everyone needs a faith to fill in an insecurity. Not only can it be god, it can be a faith in atheism that gives a secure feeling about the world.

    People tend to blame things rather than people. Watching violence doesn't cause school shootings. Letting violence you see inspire you to express you rage with a gun will. When people are being bullies in the name of religion, it's not the religion causing it, it's the human expression of being a typical asshole.

    Just let Fred be. His story is amusing.

    ur pretty on it OP. my cousin is the same way... the sad part is that by watching all this dialog in a "fake" world they forget how to interact within the real world.

    ITT how reading subtitles and vidya game dialogue can lead to poor irl relationships with other people.

    bunk! slice-of-life comedies are one of the few tolerable types of anime, one can't help but enjoy them

    romance and action animes are for scrubs, the same type of people who watch western action and romance movies, base and puerile in their habits

    If he likes SOL it's because he has some remote portion of his being that recognizes quality and nuance when he sees it. His affinity for romance on the other hand may very well stand as testament to your theory that he is an asocialized weeaboo who has externalized his romantic feelings through crappy anime, yet his appreciation of SOL only stands as testament to his character and perceptiveness with regards to quality in his dealings with the world of animuses

    I worry about the guy sometimes. Like, our group of friends are all getting apartments next year, but he is not. We wonder if Fred will even come around next year

    He doesn't understand women and prefers to use constructs like anime to create all the rules for them to operate in.

    what's worse is when these people confront real life situations with obviously forced and fictional responses.

    maybe fred just doesn't like you or your friends

    maybe he has good reason??????????????????????????

    I wouldn't interfere. I'm not quite at Fred-level, but I've been thinking more about going that direction and being alone in life. He'll probably be happier that way anyway.

    Fred: Watching shitty romance anime made for 15year-old japanese Girls isn't going to get you nowhere.
    Start watching manly anime like Naruto,Bleach and Code Geass.

    If he is really a physics/math genius, then this is more than enough.

    Then we should except some important contributions to science and technology by him.

    i had a mate who was VERY into hentai who was also in a relationship with a really controlling girl who used to almost bully him, nagging constantly. i think he was definitely having escapist fantasies. they broke up after about 2 years living together and he got himself a fat girl. i think he still likes hentai.

    My theory is that Fred has more friends online, and thinks that they respect him somehow. He likes to watch anime and usually gets really carried on by it.

    I have do the same thing OP. I feel nothing IRL, my family are all nice people yet I wouldn't care if they died in flames. Yet when I'm watching TV shows (not anime, It's 99% gay) or some shit I kinda feel something that the characters on screen are feeling, like a contact high I guess. Shit is so cash.
