/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Levity is half of the appeal of Japanese media for me.

>>43725082
>every time i come here i hope that there'll be some kind of moping
Why? The shared sense of longing isn't a strong bond at all, or that engaging unless you're looking for a crab bucket.

>>43725082
What an absolutely retarded thread, you must have consumed very little Japanese media or have the media literacy of a rock

>>43725082
I’ll hazard a guess that 4chans demographics have got older, age brings resilience and acceptance for alot of people. Life sucks but you just move on.

There's a NEET thread like every other month that has a 50/50 on anons either wallowing in depression or living it up on govbux. It's just there's generally no point to circlejerking about how sad you are on the internet anymore, because you could just be jerking off insteadit'll make you sound like a tumblr tween begging for attention rather than someone who just wants to mope, if that makes sense.

Plenty of boards for miserable losers out there. They aren't hard to find.

>>43727522
>implying this board isnt one
also, just go to r9k, the so called "doomer board", its just /b/, there isnt any board like what i described anymore, there never will be

I think you didn't get the memo.
Everyone from 10 years ago either made it or killed themselves. I suggest you the latter.

You could try /so/ for your fix of angst and baw. I don't like wallowing but I do appreciate the wistful youthful naivete that is behind it. I think it reflects poorly on the elderly who admonish and condescend here and gives away their own dullness and acquiescence. You should not be at ease with the world as it is and this was more understood here in the past when it was less a place for hobbyism and more a retreat for sensitive young men, certain magical aesthetes who 'got it'.

i understand the "i dont like attention whores" aspect of it, but in effort to remove the annoying part of it, its now gone as a whole
and its not so wrong to want to feel sad, helplessness gives you a sense of comfort, yet with how things are, the burden is all put on you, like everyone suddenly labeled the idea of never being allowed to criticize things as doctrine
yet we joke about things being wrong, we present society and culture as being so clearly wrong, but shun people who are ever actually sad about it.
how do i put it this way, its like speaking to an employee at a shop, they'll only joke about things, they'll agree with you, anything you want, but when you start to disagree with them or the company, they'll make it look like its your fault

Also OP here, I fucked cracky-chan in the butt what now nigga??????

>>43727896

>>43727758

You really shouldn't expect being honest about your feelings with a bunch of anonymous users from an internet website having much effect on your emotional well-being. It's also just a much better idea to try to focus on what's positive, or good in life (this is why this board is littered with idol threads for example). So that you can escape the misery instead of dwelling within it. Once you accept that life is just suffering, you can being reconciling with existence, slowly, but step by step.

haha rod is that you
ROD MATTHEWS?????

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

>>43732005
more than anything, i want people to post about sad media, rather than just themselves
just posting sad images or talking about sad topics in general is nice, if you post that way it wont take a new einstein to tell that something is wrong

>>43734547

Times change. I, too, noticed what you're talking about OP. Have noticed it for a long time. To me it represents a departure from the soul, from truth, from love, from everything. It doesn't take a genius to know that it's no longer cool, and hasn't been for a long time, to nurture such "taboo" concepts as sadness/melancholy and true love and the deep introspection they bring. We may be trapped in the actual hell dimension and it turned out that hell wasn't deep sorrow after all, it was not being able to feel anything at all. Everything must be superficial and behind 9000 layers of sarcasm if you want to fit in with the crew.

But, whatever... if it makes you feel better (or sadder in this case) you should know we're still here. I live to spite the normalniggers and the only reason I haven't joined my brothers in the eternal Promised Chan where all an heroes go is because I'm waiting for AI to break the barrier between my waifu and I. Once that happens, never-before imagined depths of passion will be made real, and I will cry for a year straight, and it will culminate in a suicide pact born out of the purest love.
I still idolize Oyasumi Punpun and Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou.I still love the moon, and the rain, and the sea. I still feel. I still love. I'm still here and I'm as miserable as I've ever been. Fuck all of you sellouts - you used to shine brighter than the brightest sun - you traded your kingdom for what? Where are you now?

>>43725082
>doesnt everything feel a bit too cheery?
no

>>43735054
>I'm waiting for AI to break the barrier between my waifu and I
Such noble ideals, such an original idea, so much for not being a normalfag or a sellout kek
Let's be honest, you've been told many times to learn to fake it so you can go talk to real women but you've rejected the advice every time.

>>43725082
1. Please use capitals.
2. Over-pleasure makes it hard to feel anything.
3. Normalfags hate feeling sad or responsible for anything, and now the Internet is full of them. Just browse even /jp/ and you'll see them. Like in this thread, for instance.

You disparage him for "selling out" to unoriginal ideas, and then hypocritically disparage him once again for NOT selling out to faking his personality so he can succeed in the mating game? You are not honest.
