I'm just glad I have no friends. I imagine this being an awkward thing to explain.

"I'm learning a language!"
"Good for you, Anon! Which one?"
"Japanese."

No matter how you look at it, I'm definitely a weeaboo who wants to watch cartoons and play porn games.

I'm glad for Rebuild. I fucking hated Asuka's character arc in original Evangelion.

Things that sucked ass (feel free to add your own:)

• Reverse actualization (goes from perfect competence, sergeant, university graduate, air force pilot and EVA driver at like 13, to routinely fucking up and being saved by Shinji, to catatonic mind-raped vegetable who Shinji jerks off on)

• The pseudo-NTR with her riding Kaji's dick

It's harder to form neural pathways or whatever, but you can still learn new things.

I do recall something about not being able to learn new "instincts" though. Like you can only be conditioned to think a certain way unconsciously up to a certain age.

don't these retards realize ecchi is the pronunciation of H which is short for hentai

it isn't just similar sounding by coincidence. it literally derives from H which refers to the first letter in hentai

it just has an expanded meaning now thanks to epic meme usage so can be used in contexts that hentai as a noun wouldn't be
