/jp/ - Otaku Culture

false, because otaku kind clearly shift between different dimensions to have sex with 2D virgin maidens.

Demotivational posters are second only to image macros when it comes to shitty ways dumb people express opinions.

That made me smile

Problem, faggot? lol

>>6664735
This. They belong on /a/v/b/, not /jp/.

well you only have to decide whats more important, your real life or your obsesion with dolls *ehem* "collectionable figurines"
:3

>>6664735
I'd say they're worse than image macros. They're like Especially when in this format:

Figurine =/= doll.

This is a doll. A dollfie as it so happens.
And real life is the worst VN I've ever read.

more like nobody knows how they´re able to get the money to buy shitloads of expensive figs. I mean seriously: if you´re a real otaku, you´re either supposed to be a fat student who´s rarely leaving his room or a skinny shut-in who´s working part-time in a supermarket.

Disability money.

You forgot both "autist getting payments from the government for autism" and "leeching off parents". In comparison to these two, your demographic examples are small. Especially the part-time one.

Please review.

>You forgot both "autist getting payments from the government for autism" and "leeching off parents".

you are EPIC WIN. Geneticists need to find a cure for autism so we can drastically reduce the otaku population.

HAHAHAAHAHAH

Same reason homosexuals are not extinct.

>>6664793
>autist getting payments from the government for autism
and how much is that? most countries grand small to no social welfare benefits and if you´re actual lucky enough to freeload on communitys money, then you get barely enough to live.

>leeching off parents
can´t estimate this one at all, since my parents would tell me to fuck off, if i´d ask them for a few hundred bucks for a single fig (= have to fund my hobbies alone ;__;). However i could imagine that there aren´t many parents willingly to blow that money into their son´s "anime-stuff", especially if we´re talking about japs who´re kinda living in a perm-recession.

>small tv screens, VHS player
what year is this

also, car wallpaper? clearly just a poser. He might even see dolls just as expensive toys.

>if you´re a real otaku, you´re either supposed to be a fat student who´s rarely leaving his room or a skinny shut-in who´s working part-time in a supermarket


Everyone I know that actually obsessively collects figures, myself included pretty much fit right into this.

Theirs not that many collectors on a mass scale here. Most won't collect more then a select few. Even if you do get money from the gov't you won't make enough to pay for your yearly preorders.

>Even if you do get money from the gov't you won't make enough to pay for your yearly preorders.
If you live with your parents and have no expenses, you will.

>>6664785
I'll have you know that I work full time at the supermarket.

I like how you don't even need a trip code to be identifiable.

>>6664759
I don't think you understand, collecting things IS my real life.

>>6664779

brb, off to find that doll!

>>6665288
I don't even collect figurines. The only thing I collect is physical copies my favorite music CD's and the hottest hot sauces/extracts I can find. Yes I actually collect hot sauce. The hottest I have is a bottle of 1 million scoville unit extract.

But being an otaku isn't genetic, this is like saying "why haven't people who lost their genitals in an accident died out, since they can't mate?".

>>6666351
Actually it could be. I mean I loved anime and manga ever since I first saw it. Something about it just stuck with me all the way to now. Without anime, manga, or /jp/ish stuff in general I don't know what I would be interested in, probably nothing much. Life would be pretty dull as if it isn't already like that anyways.

>>6665276
i'm sorry. a few years ago, i had a missing '-key on my keyboard so i just used ´ instead. unfortunately i grew customed to it and now i'm still unconsciously using that key.. ;__;

i'm salesman at expert. If one of you intends to buy a new TV or Computer, then i'm your fucking man.

>>6666471
>i'm your fucking man.
You will never be a fucking man sadfrog.jpg

I have mated..
Although, she did leave me and take the child because I payed more attention to my eroge/pc/figures than I did to her.

It doesn't really matter.. I still have my eroge/pc/ and figures.

>he had physical contact and intercourse with females
get out man. you're not even one of us anymore.

Just because a man tapes a combat knife to the ceiling of his shower doesn't mean he's one of THOSE locos.

... yes

I'm sure someday I'll mate. I'll use a turkey baster so I don't actually have to have sex.

I worked in a chemical warehouse and I needed a knife. I left it on a cardboard box that was damp with acid. I come back, One side is almost GONE! Kind of sucks.

>>6666593

And in addition to that, I just noticed:
--Dud .50 cal and 20mm shells sitting next to a 10-round stripper clip of .223

-- 4 20-gauge rifled slugs sitting on top of my ancient PDA, stack o blank CDs, and a spool of pale blue thread.

There's a box of .45 ACP reloads I just found underneath my Monster Manual.

... I think it's time to clean my desk.

When you declare full time disability, you state that you are unable to work. The amount you're given is less than what you'd make with a minimum wage job, so SSI is not a way to support yourself.
