/jp/ - Otaku Culture

nigga whut? /a/ loves spaghetti-tan

>omg it's like looking in a mirror!

It's not even a good manga, 4chan is stupid. The mangaka probably thinks she made it big with talent.

Anything /v/ latches onto is stupid

Yeah, I thought /a/ loved it. Their threads about it are what brought it to my attention.

>>8842074
The person who made it's a GIRL?
Oh
FUCKING DISGSTING

>/a/ hates it.

What? /a/ started the whole craze about it, and are the ones who translate it (though WhyNot or whatever took over I think).

I like it, but hate how /v/ treats Tomoko. Spaghetti-tan is not a fitting name, at all.

I thought /a/ loved it, banded together to buy the first volume and stuff. Maybe there's a backlash as a reaction to /v/'s shenanigans? Wouldn't know, I don't frequent /a/

Some chapters are really stressful, and it would be difficult to find someone with social anxiety in any level that disagrees. But I like to think she'll grow out of the most crippling aspects of it. Eventually.
I want to believe Tomoko will have a happy ending.

>>8842074
how is it stupid?
it has an interesting and unique premise which has a lot of fans
what is wrong with that?

>>8842093
Not really.
If you've come as far as a lot of people on /jp/, you won't break a sweat.
Normalfag

I read a page or 2 and figured out that she actually wants to be normal.
Lost any interest at this point

Typical otaku pandering bullshit.
Nobody act like that in real life. If you have this amount of anxiety you wouldnt even go out in the first place.

>>8842100
i think on some level most of us do want to be normal.
otherwise we would not gather on /jp/ and instead only immerse ourselves in VNs and touhou.
it's just that we can't really imagine how we could be normal anymore that we now renounce the whole concept

I enjoy it. Some of the chapters are just painfully awkward to read.

>>8842100

This is why I dropped it. She may be socially awkward but her main drive to become more accepted is to get boys and friends.

Fuck that shit, I don't want to hear about it.

>>8842079
Kodomo no Jikan's mangaka is female.

>>8842113
what would you rather read about?
a girl who ONLY plays touhou and goes on 2channel?

>>8842120
I'd read that.
But give her a ghost pal too.

>>8842120
Daily lives of Yotsuba-chan.

I thought it was cute but a lot of chapters made me cringe and I there are some pages I just skipped.

>>8842120

I'd probably read that, yes.

But I have no interest in reading about some desperate whore who wants the attention of males. Sorry.

>>8842128
To clarify, not because they were horribly written, because I felt like I would become uncomfortable if I read through something so embarrassing for MC-chan.

>>8842111
Not really.
If I wanted to be normal I would just go and be normal.
But I won't since this kind of life just suits me better

>>8842120
>only playing touhou
I seriously hope you guys don't only into ZUN

The only shitty premise this manga has is "JUST...LIKE....ME ;_;"

Crude drawing (its greatest drawback), a boring gimmick which is supposed to make me feel connected but somehow fails to do that, I don't know how /a/ could like this.Maybe it's one of those things that get spammed and people just blindly jump the bandwagon.

Even greentext /v/ /r9k/ stories of virgins and foreveralones pique more of my interest.

>>8842142
look at this nerd thinking he could be normal

>>8842063
/a/ doesn't hate it. They have the /v/irgins who like it and run all the jokes to the ground.

>>8842174
They hate* the /v/irgins who like it

>I was thinking of taking a crazy dump

I wish I could witness, smell, and feel it

I don't know why the "targeted demographic" in those boards love it, but I feel patronized reading this. Her social anxiety and clumsiness seem fake and exaggerated.

>>8842196
>fake and exaggerated
This.
Sora no shita yane no naka was a much better read.

She's more like a normalfag who anxiety issues.

Back in highschool I did have a few similar experiences to hers but at that point ever finding a girlfriend or getting "popular" was way out of my ability or interest.

>/a/ hates it.
>mfw I'm an /a/non and the majority of /a/nons likes it

>>8842196
>Her social anxiety and clumsiness seem fake and exaggerated.

because they are.

Seeing as half of /a/ and /v/ also frequent either /fit/ or /soc/, they laugh because they actually think that's what having a real 'social anxiety' is like.

it might also help if you find shock comedy funny to some degree.

>>8842201

I love this manga, way better than the one this thread is about.

It's quite exaggerated and I guess some people like that.

I liked it but I like everything I read that has girls in it.

So which came first?
gamestop spaghetti or this manga?
I only read like a 2 or 3chapters, did she really spit spaghetti out of her pocket later?

I don't get it jaypee
you want social anxiety, and when it is given to you you say it is not the right social anxiety
are you autistic about autism?

besides what social anxiety to me is the feeling that you are unable to deal with social situations, not just that you don't like them or try to avoid them

>>8842225
Gamestop spaghetti, then the manga. She never has any sort of pasta, but /v/ connected her to those silly spaghetty stories so they names her spaghetti-tan.
It's all very silly.

>>8842228
>besides what social anxiety to me is the feeling that you are unable to deal with social situations, not just that you don't like them or try to avoid them

because people with social anxiety avoid social situations solely for the sake of avoiding them, not because they are unable to deal with them and for that reason don't like those situations.

>>8842228
I dont give a shit whether she has autism or is a cute popular school idol or a NEEt hikkii.
If the story is good then it is good.

/a/ and /v/ are the same exact board

>>8842239

You're thinking of avoidant personality disorder, not social anxiety.

>>8842196
Bingo. There was one or two chapters that had pretty decent portrayals, and I'm going to keep reading hoping she can accomplish that again, but otherwise it's entirely unbelievable.

>>8842111
While asocial and anti-social are 'non-normal' concepts, being social at all is exclusive to neither side. It's more what you talk about, really, and I'm even sure a lot of people here love socializing, just not to 'normals' about 'normal' things.

>>8842239
that seems less like having social anxiety and more of being a faggot bro

>>8842146
I can't play any other STGs because they don't have cute girls.

>>8842228

You should just leave. /a/ is that way.

I have to pretend to be a normalfag when I outside and I hate every second of it.
I have to pretend to be nice, try not to attract attention and always find excuses to reject invitation.

It's fun to see /jp/ trip over themselves when attempting to discuss basic psychology.

None of you know what mental illness entails. "Sometimes I don't want to talk to people. I must be schizophrenic! ;_;"

>>8842265
what if I've been officially diagnosed with schizophrenia?

>>8842265

It's funny when fags confuse psychiatry with psychology.

>>8842265
You don't know me. You don't understand my struggle.

>>8842265
u think ur though huh?

>>8842265
I'm an OCD aspbergers autist.

>>8842265
But nobody is discussing psychology here?
The manga is just not good. Are you implying that that manga is an accurate portrayal of someone with a social anxiety disorder?

>>8842265

Anxiety fits with psychiatry not psychology, you dumb ass.

Psychiatry = mental disorders, chemical imbalances, etc

Psychology = prodding your supposed subconsciousness.

>>8842243
No, that's schizoid personality disorder.

>>8842270
>>8842274
>>8842275
>>8842277
>>8842278
>>8842282
>>8842287
BOOM

>>8842287

You're confusing psychology with psychoanalysis. Not all psychology is psychoanalysis, most modern treatments (e.g., cognitive-behavioural therapy) do not deal directly with the subconscious anymore.

>>8842295
take your reaction image, mfw, greentexting back to /a/.

The point being all you faggots don't even want to improve yourselves, how disgusting.
i am a NEET but at least i realize that this lifestyle is unsustainable and that i have to change my mindset.

>>8842298

I don't see any mfw or greentext?

>>8842299
Yeah we all went through that stage too.

>>8842295
you wanna take this outside, nerd?

>>8842287
>Psychology = prodding your supposed subconsciousness.
Congrats, that's what I was talking about.
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric issue. Normal psychological issues are what's prevalent in this thread and every other one made on /jp/.

Getting sweaty hands when you talk to girls is not mental illness. Neither is wallowing in self-pity.

>>8842308
I don't see a sage in your email field, faglord.

>>8842299
I dont understand.
How does what I do or what I think about my lifestyle contribute to INMFIUP being shit?
The manga just isnt good. There is a reason why it is getting cancel.

>>8842282
Not say that this one dose of does not, but a manga very well could.

>>8842311
the fact that you can't understand why other people may not like it says enough.

>>8842305

Both can be symptoms of mental illness if they significantly affect your life.

>>8842305
>Getting sweaty hands when you talk to girls is not mental illness.

That IS anxiety, which IS a psychiatric disorder.

God damn you're dumb.

>>8842311
Is it really going to be cancelled? It's terrible!

>>8842298
u hella mad

>>8842325
after I finish saving these Yuuka pictures, I'm gonna kick your ass nerd.

>>8842329
get a 4chan thread downloader.

>>8842317
>if they significantly affect your life.
And they never do for most 4channers.

>>8842255
Surely you jest.

>>8842323
What???

I am staying in the my own comfy room not bothering anyone. Why would anyone dislike that?
On the other hand you have a bunch of man touhou doing stupid things outside. I am pretty sure more people will hate the later group.

I like the premise, but I haven't tried reading it because it's popular with not only /a/, but /v/ as well.

Oh, you even said this in the OP.

/a/ may be one thing, but if /v/ likes it then something is wrong.

>>8842340

>implying 99% of /jp/ doesn't suffer from social anxiety and morbid depression

Where do you think you are, kid?

Gaia is the other way.

>>8842346
>disliking things just because others do
you really are he same as /v/ bro

>>8842338

Doesn't work anymore.

Self-diagnosed, right?

>>8842352
>>8842365
who are you quoting?

>>8842340
You do realize your typical person would be appalled at how some of the people on this board live their lives, right?

Most people couldn't dream of doing what we do

>>8842378
They wish they cant be a NEET themselves instead of slaving away their time in a 9-5 desk job.

>>8842370

You really think people here are normal, don't you...

Well, evidently you are, but wow.

>>8842063

I like it because it has its own please respond.

When was the last time you were told to get out of /jp/?

>>8842432
but I need to view each picture, decide if it cute enough for my collection and then save it.

Spaghetti-tan is a pretty lame ass name. Makes her sound like she's Chef Boyardee's daughter or something.

>>8842447
/v/ can only come up with lame-sounding names.

I'm stating the obvious, but it must be from their social anxiety greentext memes that always have spaghetti falling out of pockets at some point.

>>8842447
We should call her ZUNBAR♀

>>8842437

Never, I fit in like legos.

Fuck even 2ch hates it. That's saying something.

Not a lot, I spent 5 minutes trying to find it on my non-graphical Slackware system.

>>8842512
that's what you get for using linux, nerd

I was going to read it but when I actually looked it up and saw how accusing the literal title is, I didn't want to.

It's not my fault you're not popular... I would have loved you.

>>8842117
Color me surprised. Wouldn't feminists be all over it trying to shut it down?

>>8842562

There is no concept of feminism in Japanese culture.

>>8842265

You make it sound like pyschology is any better-it's basically just the same thing with poorly-done studies concocted to support whatever stupid opinion the research has.

>>8842562
You didn't know that? Get a load of this nerd guys....

>>8842567
Better than what?

why can't i just find a girl like tomoko

>>8842589
because they don't exist loser

>>8842568
Of course there is, you fucking idiot. It exists since the 1920s, with some earlier ideas spawning since the 1900s.

>>8842589
>>8842594
Well, it depends on what you mean by like tomoko, there's socially anxious disgusting girls existing.

>>8842594
but they have to, i mean autism isn't inherently a male thing

>>8842605
even the autistic girls have sex all the time
breathing is the same as sex for a girl over 12

>>8842562
Wow you sure are late to the party slowpoke. Pretty of women are drawing your ecchi shows. Women are bigger perverts.
