/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I do... great stress reliever...

I don't pretend. I do have respectable job.

NEET since I dropped out of school. My family hasn't said anything at all, I haven't been asked what I want to do with my life, nor have I been told to get a job. For some reason they still keep giving me money though.

>>3872499
Lol, I can spot mugen from miles away.

I don't pretend to be NEET. Usually I just ignore the NEET threads.

I wish I was a NEET when I have to drag my ass out of bed at 6:45 in the morning to get ready for work.

I was NEET when I was browsing /jp/.
>>3872510
they love you but dont know what to do and hope that all is well and you'll figure it out.

>>3872512
Why ignore them? Most are just NEETs confirming other NEETs are taking it easy and if they have plans for the immediate future.

Are you jealous?

>>3872519
I wish I wasn't NEET when I wake up at 1pm and decide to sleep for the day.

>>3872523
Nah, what I meant that I don't go posting in them or reply to "NEET ARE LEGION" posts. Why should I go ruin other people's fun?

I wish I was NEET or had a job already so I wouldn't have to study for these fucking finals.

>>3872532
Ignoring won't work forever. I used to ignore niggers. I used to annoy loud neighbors. I rage everytime I see a nigger or hear a neighbor being loud now.

>>3872523
> "I ignore them."
> "Are you jealous?"

Anon are you completely nuts?

when saying NEET is hikki also assumed?

hikki ⊆ NEET

>>3872559
>when saying NEET is hikki also assumed?
No, NEET and hikki are two different things.

>>3872559
No, though a lot seem to confuse the two here.

Got my job, got my car, got my house and I am single. Who wanna fuck me?

I keep signing up for semesters of college, then dropping and keeping the maximum amount of loan money.

This is probably a bad idea in the long run, but it's the only way I can live a NEET lifestyle.

>>3872595
what job? do you do vaginal?

dont you guys ever have the "oh fuck what am i doing with my life" moments?

>>3872595
Damn, you're ahead then, I still haven't got a house of my own

Who want to be my waifu? I'll buy a house for you

>>3872620

I'm having one right now. My lack of self-confidence is catching up with me again.

My only regret in life is that I haven't found a girlfriend. I'll be graduating in another 2 years and I don't wanna be still alone then. ;_;

>>3872620
If you're under 30, you can pretty much fuck around doing nothing with no repercussions. Just don't get into debt.

>>3872632
One major regret in my life that still makes me depressed when I think about it is not trying to get with as many lolis as I could when I was younger. I am now nearly 20 years old and doing such a thing would send me to jail for a very long time.

Don't have a job yet, but I did move out and get married.

>>3872611
Retails Seller at a large local elektroctronics store
>>3872621
Patience bro, it also took me while to get this far. Just find a good job who appreciates the effeort you put into it... bonusses will rush towards you ;D

>>3872645
;_; how did you find someone to marry you

i want to be NEET again~

I got a seasonal job to build a new computer. I'll be back to being NEET in a month, thankfully.

>>3872663

I met her in college.

>>3872684
How come you don't work? Does she work?

>>3872680
What the hell, it takes you a month to build a computer?

Why would I pretend to be NEET? I have a college degree and a decent job as a software engineer, make a decent living, and have no problems funding my electronics and merchandise hobbies. It's nice to be able to buy any of those touhou figures you want, and its not like having a job prevents me from staying up all night playing VNs or watching anime.

>>3872689
I pretend to be a NEET while on /jp/ to fit in

>>3872693
It takes me a month to raise the funds.

>>3872644
I feel the same way. In fact, that's pretty much the only regret in my life, everything else has gone pretty well.

I've been a NEET for only 1.5 years now, but next year I can't be one. I can't afford it.

Does working at a toy store scaring little kids count as a respectable job ?

>>3872687

I do not work because I am too dumb to have a job while pursuing a physics degree. I need all my time to study so it would have to be one or the other. My wife works part-time. I do the chores and cook and stuff so I guess I'm not a total leech.

>>3872734
Don't scare them. Unless it's with your penis, inside them.

Does working in a van raping little kids count as a respectable job ?

>>3872739
Only if that van can self-destruct.

>>3872739
Does driving the 4chan party van count as a respectable job?

As a matter of fact, my application got denied and I can't study anything worthwhile.

I am contemplating suicide or joining a monastery.

>>3872738
Well at least the parents are funny, in a bad way.
>"Hurrr I can't buy this piano, there's only 5 buttons, it's not educative durrr"
Fucking bitch it's a 18 months kid, not the goddamn Beethoven.

I miss being a NEET. No deadlines to rush and don't have to wake at like 8am every morning.

I don't know if I can just stop being a NEET and start being a normalfag 5 days a week. It's too much, after doing pretty much nothing.

Anyone else feel like, even as a NEET, you have no time? You get up, open your usual programs, do your usual pixiv rounds, post on /jp/ for a bit, shit on the floor, eat, then suddenly the day's already over.

I don't work but I have more in common with survivalists than the NEET stereotype. Self reliance is a good objective if you have abundant free time and the savings to get going.

I'm self-employed, married with two kids (both boys, before you ask. Sorry /jp/) and have a mortgage on my 3 bedroom house.
I'm also probably a fair bit older than everyone here, so I suppose any comparisons are unfair.

>>3872799
I hope you intend to have a daughter soon.

>>3872799
How does your wife feel about the VNs and doujin porn?

Poor student with tons of debt, no car, and living a shut-in life style. I kind of don't want to graduate because then I actually have to interact with people out of necessity. For now, I ignore the goddamn normalfags socializing outside my door every night and their parties every weekend.

>>3872799
I don't believe you are a regular poster on /jp/. Just dropping in for a bit to show off in this thread?

>>3872809
Like I said, I'm considerably older than the average /jp/edo. Having to 'hide your powerlevel' wasn't a joke back when I was younger, it was a requirement.
That said, I'm sure she'd be cool with most of it, but old habits and all that.

>I'm sure she'd be cool with most of it
Your wife doesn't know about your stash?

>>3872832
It's still mandatory to hide your powerlevel

what the fuck

>>3872822
Not normally at this time of the day, I'm off now for Christmas and this was the first thread I saw a the top of the page.

>>3872837
I've watched a few anime films with her (a lot more recently because I use the kids as an excuse, hahaha) and she has scratched the surface of my weeaboo ways, as to be expected.
I've just never found the right moment to say "Honey, would you like to join me in masturbating to this VN? It contains sexually explicit descriptions and images of 2D children!"

>>3872851
>"Honey, would you like to join me in masturbating to this VN? It contains sexually explicit descriptions and images of 2D children!"

kinda lol'd at this

>>3872851
Dammit, I was hoping getting married means these kind of things get easier to talk about.

Still, do you ever get worried that if she finds out one day she might blow her top?

I got my wife to play Planetarian, she said she liked it.

>>3872864
A successful marriage means both parties keeping their darkest, worst secrets from each other.

>>3872864
Well, I've known her for about 20 years now, so I'm pretty sure she knows that their just pictures and that I'm not some media-portrayed sex-fiend. Like I said though, it's not the easiest thing to come out and say to someone that close to you, so I think I'll keep things as they are now.

>>3872864
Well, I've known her for about 20 years now, so I'm pretty sure she's open enough to realise that they're just pictures and that I'm not some media-portrayed sex-fiend.
Like I said though, it's not the easiest thing to come out and say to someone that close to you, so I think I'll keep things as they are now.

>>3872887
Hmm, I guess you really meant it when you said you were older. Wanna give us young-uns some life advice?

>>3872887
yeah, give me some advice to turn my life around and be successful

>>3872887
Do you love your wife or 2D more?

>>3872864
They were easy for me since I met waifu, let alone got with her. I think it's more of a how well did they know you/how close were you before getting together, rather than a 'it changes when you get with someone or get married!'.

From my experience relationships start from strong and close friendships, and if you're in that sort of situation you're usually open with the person - so by the time you end up falling for them and asking them out they already know you fap to loli and write copypasta about eating feces as a tripfag on 4chan, and you know them just as well.

I think the main factor in how easy it is to be open relies on how open you were beforehand. A lot of relationships start with people having things they don't mention about them and that's what causes things like the married anons issue of basically suppressing his power levels.

This is apparently common among normalfags (lying, pretending to be someone you aren't, hiding certain things about you), most likely because normalfag relationships typically revolve around getting laid - not planning on marrying each other down the line, so there's no need for that to them - plus a lot of people view knowing each other too well as a problem. So basically you end up hooking up with a girl and assuming you'll break up a bit later...then you fall for each other seriously and that doesn't happen, and so the things you didn't mention BEFORE that become just about impossible to bring up AFTER. I think all of that's stupid, but whatever.

If you want to find a girl who you can talk about that stuff openly with without her calling the cops, kicking you out, or finding you horribly disgusting and never speaking to you again - stop 'hunting' for a waifu or else you'll find some girl youll start dating without knowing anything about her and vice versa.

tl;dr suck my dick.

>>3872909
I'm agreeing with you, my one significant relationship stemmed from a long-term friendship. SHe already knew I fapped to lolis and traps, I already knew that she played BL eroge and schlicked to yandere guys religiously. There really wasn't anything that could cause drama because of suppressed information down the line.

>>3872893
Get out now while you still can!
Seriously though, general life advice: When it all comes down to it, no-one really gives a shit about what your hobbies are. As long as you don't bother anyone else with what you're doing or the way you're living, you can do pretty much whatever the hell you want with your free time. Any other advice I'll give you you've heard a million times before, but the reason for that is because it just gets more and more relevant as you get older.

>>3872905
No comment.

>>3872943
>no comment
I'll take that as 2D>3D. Why would you be still playing VNs otherwise?

>>3872949
Intriguing.

Maybe because of the plot.

>>3872909

>>3872969

>>3872949
You never grow out of 2D; it's a as simple as that. And with the saturation over here what it is today compared with 20-30 years ago, it's no surprise that more and more people are discovering their preference for it earlier.

>>3872963
I chuckled. The reason I still read VNs (besides the art) is for the soundtrack; there's nothing quite like a sudden change in music at a crucial moment to up the impact of the scene by leaps and bounds. OSTs are the one thing that VNs will always have over books.

obsessed otaku and geeks in 4chan sure is obsessed

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY

Real work sucks. (not hurr serfdome durr) Waking up 4 am shit sux. Good job it was only seasonal. Now I'm hiki again altough I should be visiting college, and not like doing fucking nothing for 2 years

>>3873003
VNs are marketed towards ronery, loser otaku. One might think that if you have family you'd move to other entertainment like movies.

>>3873040
Marketing doesn't equal reality.

Pop-Culture is pretty much the same no matter what medium. Just some changes in preferences. Normalfags are to occupied in the normalfag world, they want to see normalfags doing normalfag stuff, so obviously they will stick with drama and cancer like that. Books don't go well with normalfags unless it's some marketing hype in normalfag circles, so to fit in that will have to read it

>>3873040
I think one's interests change as people get older partly because the people around them start liking other things. This in turn influences the person to go along with whatever is popular among their peers and soon enough, they get into it as well. There is also the factor of doing things for social acceptance.

That being said, I respect family anon because he has kept his interests distinct from the pressure to conform to the interests of others and interests that are socially accepted.

>>3873054
I appreciate the sentiment, but I only read VNs and watch anime because I have 2D fetish.

>>3873053
>>3873054
Yeah. But the fact that you still fap to loli when you're 40 means that you don't give a fuck about society so I find it weird for anon to have a family.
>>3872905
>>3872949

I asked whether he loves his wife or 2D more. The fact that he keeps his hobby and didn't become normalfag says something about that.

>>3873085
>But the fact that you still fap to loli when you're 40 means that you don't give a fuck about society
You're implying that's a bad thing.

Society's an elaborate ruse, some people know that it's all a lie and just keep acting, some people think they're weird but act in the arbitrarily "normal" way, and the rest of them are actually the only normal people who know it's all an act, and refuse to act that way because acting unlike yourself is nowhere near normal.

>>3872493
Workingfag here.
Been working for almost 2years plus.


I can't wait to quit my job and go back to my NEET ways once I saved enough money to start my investment/retirement plan.

Also protip, playing eroge and watching anime that has heavy fanservice (strike bitches and stuff) are best done in private.
Those discussions are best left in 4chan instead of real life.
I did fired up my Touhou and play PCB in my work place some time ago and they seem impressed after seeing all the danmaku and dodging and grazing.
I even copy them into one of their thumbdrive.

>>3873106
I didn't say it's a bad thing. I see myself being like that in the future. But why the hell would you have a family if you think like that? That's what baffles me.

>>3873116
We are on a soon to be socially accepted side on the family thing. I wrote here some times about the coming changes in society, with the one-child policies and stronger regulations on the daily lifes of everybody. NEET lifestyle = better carbon-footprint.

So relax.
