/jp/ - Otaku Culture

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex

Not very in-depth, but it doesn't feel judgemental. More of an exploration of what has turned Japan into a lonely society.

Why is /jp/ so easy to troll now?

I ate a packet of microwave pop-corn for breakfast, then began to cry, my head hurts, I'm almost narcoleptic, always tired, malnourished and alone, also my joints hurt because I almost don't move.

I've lost the control of my life, a couple weeks ago I spent 5 day in bed due to depresion, it happens every couple months so it's ok, but I'm depresed again, no money, nothing......

When you seriously think about killing yourself childish ideas, like portals to Gensokyo, don't cross your mind, instead bitter thoughts about how my life should had been in order to had become a happy person. No family to help, no a friend in my life that supported me, it's like I was born to suffer and then kill myself, I don't see what I did wrong, other than being born of course.

I'll go away without leaving a single thing that is worth after having consumed a handful of resources, that's what bothers me more, once I do it this world will keep going without me or any prove of my existence, the anguish is hard to stand at this point.

>Two in distress makes sorrow less.

I'm asking, have anyone of you experienced this?

Knowing that you will die, without leaving anything.
Are your existences worth?

I have an awkward feeling, I want this world to end so we can die all together, theres no one to flame but the circumstances or at least someone come and kill me, so it's not my fault dying.

Sorry if I didn't make my point clear, is hard to explain this complex feeling without writing a digusting TL;DR.

It's like Azumanga, but with more in-jokes and less realistic characters.

Futaba Channel tried to solve that problem.

It's hard to make manga-style characters unattractive.

Futaba Channel made a "realistic" version of Konata and they basically just gave her brown hair and glasses.

Cute image dude.

Kurokona is mine

How are you NEETs spending your time?

What keeps me motivated is knowing that I have already learned a complex skill. I am very good at bass guitar. I started out from scratch and taught myself to a fairly high level of proficiency. It took a while but I did it. That means that I can do it again with something else if I put my mind to it. Bass started out feeling very alien to me, but now I can play it fluently and it feels very comfortable. Japanese feels alien to me right now as well, but I know if I stick with it I will eventually be fluent too.

What would happen if everyone in this world who had ditched their true desires, dreams, feelings, aspirations, in order to conform and thrive in our society, suddenly died?
The people conditioned so heavily by our society into thinking that if they just work towards that [insert top-tier job], the tomorrow just around the corner, that they would be able to receive happiness along with it, as if it were a perfect package deal.

There are many people like that in this world. They wake up, go to their job that they may very well despise, surround themselves with "friends" who might as well be complete strangers seeing as they have nothing in common aside from being "coworkers", go out with those people to do activities that they may not even have any interest in partaking in, come home, go to sleep, rinse and repeat. They hope that things will change, that they will -eventually- find happiness, looking for life, looking for purpose, while swimming with the soulless majority of our current society.
This isn't to say that EVERYONE in the world is like that, but i'm pretty sure a good amount are. There also might be people who are happy with their decisions to pursue alternative solutions and ditch their previous interests due to being told otherwise or realizing that their dream required way too much work, luck, or whatever else to achieve.
That still didn't change the fact that at some point, their path in life was changed due to realizing that their dream/goal was either too ridiculous to concieve, or because they thought they couldn't put in the sheer amount of work or strive to achieve it, or simply because it was just such an unorthodox interest that people were deterred from the fact that even if they pursued it, they would be labelled as crazy/weird/strange by the people around them.

I don't know what "konakona" is, unless it's a super-cheesy nickname for Konata. I like her aesthetically, but she's a shit character.

As for West-popular characters, I like Holo. She's a god who wants to be human.

wch lckystr u fk?

Yes. /jp/ is actually a focus group for people who look like Konata and Awkward-tan.

How often do you reformat your computer, /jp/? My computer feels like such a residue stained mess and it bothers me a lot so I have to reformat it every few months. I always save a sub-partition with all my personal stuff though so it's not like I lose everything every time.

A haphazard that shallowly joins random parties and guilds just to get ahead.

>Signed on for JSA
>Got a grant from college because of it
>Only going to college so I can get into uni and get a good student loan and bursary from the University that I'll be attending

I just need a couple of sources of income that I can get while I'm at uni and I'm set for the next 4-5 years. At the moment I get like $100 a month or so filling in surveys for like an hour each day.

How has the world been treating you lately, NEETs?

(please keep the blogging/flaming/attention whoring to a minimum)

I'm wearing a tracksuit right now. It's comfy and easy to wear.

Jeans and stuff hurt my genitals, and they don't play too nicely with sweat.
