/jp/ - Otaku Culture

look forward to being brainwashed into mindless subservience

you'll probably be sent to afghanistan on oil patrol, or, depending on how this china thing turns out, to aid our owner in a time of war

yea there's probably lot of weaboos in the core nowadays

If only ZUN!bar was here...

Just forget about all this shit. It'll be better for you. You have a chance to let Japan go, so do it.

you'll probably meet someone who likes homu or strike witches, but knowing a /jp/ers luck you'll end up with ponyfuckers.

>>9738091
I hope so. It's not exactly a social thing though. I don't think I would want to have anything to do with them, at the risk of being lumped into a group/

>>9738086
Thanks, but that's not what I made the thread for... If I wanted to be bashed for joining, I'd be on /k/

>>9738097
That's kind of cold. You act like it's a curse.. But yeah. I suppose.

Regardless of how evil Western leaders may be, you've made the right decision. I'm enlisting in the British equivalent next year providing I can get fit enough (our training is about 1.5x hard and 3x longer than yours).

By the way, have you always wanted to be a soldier or was this a last-ditch effort to escape NEETdom?

p lolz @ all the dumb nerds who join the army because they think it's badass

literally have never met anyone, ever, who's said that they would do it again if given the chance

>>9738104
Royal Marines? Yeah, you motherfuckers are amazing. Good luck.

No, not until about two years ago. It just hit me, and I knew I was making the right decision. I'm not a NEET by any means, but I suppose I identify with the rest of /jp/ in being otaku. I'm not trying to escape it either...

>>9738107
Yeah. It takes a certain type of person to join the Marine Corps, in my opinion. We tend to be more individualistic than army pukes.

>>9738107
>>literally have never met anyone, ever, who's said that they would do it again if given the chance

This. All the ex-Army/Navy infantry personnel I've ever met have been depressed, PTSD-riddled creatures with nowhere and noone to turn to.

You should have joined the Air Force instead. It's the most /jp/ friendly branch.

But good luck anyway.

>>9738114

>Yeah. It takes a certain type of person to join the Marine Corps, in my opinion. We tend to be more individualistic than army pukes.

all of you are amazing idiots who buy into the hilariously manipulative armed forces propaganda

i guess i should be glad, though

it's because of idiots like you that i don't have to be drafted

>>9738080
I'm sure you'll be fine. Most weaboos are totally normal people. It's not mutually exclusive with being a lonely, miserable NEET. I've met lots of people who were into otaku things that were totally unexpected.

most people who join the army and regret it are people with loving families and friends.

you should be able to determine if you'll enjoy your time of service based on that

I'd join the army if there was even a slight chance of seeing actual combat and killing someone, but this country is not at war and peacekeepers rarely get to open fire. Shit sucks.

>>9738127
What is more honorable than fighting for your homeland? Regardless of what shadowy figures are at the top manipulating you, at the core, you're still defending your freedoms, the people and your way of life. No matter what your reasons for joining, or the political climate at the time, you're still signing up to fight your country's enemies.

Now, of course, that sounds cheesy. I know it does.

>>9738139

you are not 'defending' anything by raiding others' territory for oil. that's called 'invading,' you fucking moron. how brainwashed are you?

>>9738145

Americans slaughter millions in Vietnamese war, thousands of miles away from their home soil

"we're just defending our freedoms :) god bless america"

>>9738139

>>9738134
Of which I have none. It's a win-win. Get the fuck out of the house, live for nothing for four years, watch anime and play touhou every day on libo in exchange for my life, which is worthless anyway

>>9738145
Read closer. Your edge is too sharp. Besides, what's wrong with fighting for natural resources that don't belong to you? Who says we have to play fair to get what we want? Stop living in fantasy land, libtard.

>>9738155

>watch anime and play touhou every day on libo in exchange for my life, which is worthless anyway

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWLING IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

DONT DO IT YOU STUPID FAGGOT.


-sincerely a US Muhreen

del

Post this shit on /k/

>>9738161

デル

If I'm a small guy who always sleeps with a teddy bear, gets along with girls better than guys, prefers juice and milk to alcohol and likes to solve problems between people by talking and becoming friends and coming to an agreement by mutual understanding, would joining the army be right for me?

The army isn't good business, the only reason I'd sign up is for personal stamina, discipline, etc.
I'll at least go knowing what I'm doing is not placing the world in a better position, because I am not brainwashed.

>>9738170

yes, maybe you'll die and we'll have one less self-congratulatory fuck on the planet

I go to war for my country. Not because of my government.

How stupid can man be.

>>9738173
How rude, please don't bully my friends.

>>9738174

who the fuck cares about countries other than brainwashed 'patriot' troglodytes

why does living in one location make your life and needs worth more than someone who lives in another location

pretty hilarious that you have this ultra-egotistical self-interested mindset and claim to be into japanese culture, which is collectivist to the fullest

>>9738170
Can't tell if trolling, but maybe.

Written on a wall in Afghanistan.

>>9738184
Cheers mate.

>>9738080
Now you're just another piece of shit.

>>9738174
Nope, sorry to tell you this your fighting for your government just so that they are more well off.

They give very little fucks about you or your country.

>>9738184
That person isn't OP, just fyi...

"stresses the priority of group goals over individual goals and the importance of cohesion within social groups"

That's collectivism, according to wikipedia. How is the Marine Corps, or any military organization not collectivist?

>>9738197
Gee, I wonder why they suicide.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_presence_in_the_United_States_military

Way, way bigger than they show you in the movies. You are more likely to die from gangbangers who want your money than insurgents.

If there were no meathead men going prepared to fight and shoot other people there would be no wars.

This type of person is detrimental to modern human society and should be bred out of existence.

>>9738197
What terrible grammar.

>Marine Corps
Absolutely disgusting

>>9738205
The whole world laughs at the american military.

>>9738200
So it is now less honourable than it seems.

>>9738213
>>9738205
These are enlightening. Is there more?

>>9738219
We need armies to oppress the third world though

>>9738221
Stop asking for shit of fake Otakus, kiddo.

>>9738219
men going prepared to fight*

>>9738215
I can just imagine a fat, "depressed" nerd sheltered from the world saying that without a drop of conscience. Kill yourself, stupid piece of shit.

>>9738226
Deal with it, failure.

What's so bad in invading other countries for their resources? Should I feel bad? They'd do it to us. It's been happening as long as there has been tribes of men and things won't ever change.

Cue "SOEDGEH" shitposting, bring it nerds. At least I'm being honest.

Well, there goes the thread. Thanks for your kind words, /jp/. You're always so helpful and non judgmental!

I eagerly look forward to the 'brainwashing'. I'll report in in march to tell you how happy I am to be a United States Marine, while the rest of you are sitting on your computers, doing nothing and living miserable existence.

>>9738219

it has nothing to do with the 'type of person' and everything to do with the environment. being in the military is fun! noble! everyone will like you more! lots of camraderie! totally masculine! you'll be a man when you come out of it!

does anyone have a link to that article about how most of those "military reunion"-esque videos are posted by propagandists on disposal accounts

>>9738232
What if I invade your home at night and rape your family? Since many people do it it should be okay, right?

Everyone who wants to improve this board just a little bit, report this thread please.

>>9738232

epic reaction pic O.O what do u type on search to get that pic?

>>9738244

Who the fuck cares about you,go on /k/ tard

>>9738244
Sorry but I'm pretty happy with my life right now. I hope you get killed, bye!

>>9738244

bye loser

Think of it this way: the skills you learn will be invaluable when China declares war on Japan and all otaku must rush to the 2D Motherland's defense à la the Brigadas Internacionales.

You could even be an NCO of the /jp/ brigade! We'll call ourselves the Twin-Tailed Terrors or possibly the Hikikomori Hammers. Our mascot will be a moe loli and our motto will be: ツンばかりでデレがない！
Our suicidal courage will strike fear into the heart of the enemy and our morale badge will be banned in Australia!

>>9738242
That's what the Romans and look how they turned out. Might makes right.

>>9738250
It's in the filename: jean+jacques+rousseau.jpg

>>9738242
I'd feel bad, obviously. You have a point behind your post, so lets hear it.

>>9738258
yes, might makes right

let's all murder each other over this planet's resources instead of teaming up and going to get other planets'

>>9738271
Think of it like the Highlander. There can only be one.

>>9738271
That nerdwank will never come true, please re-ground yourself in reality.

>>9738257
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU

>>9738274
This, but unironically.

Look at all the sage. Clearly no one likes you OP.

Do whatever you want. If you really want to hold onto your feelings, then do it. No one will force you to stop loving japanese things

>>9738281

not with people as dumb as you populating the earth

Why the Marines, anyway? Don't they just get the front line dirty jobs so the Army has a safer and nicer time cleaning up after their mess?

>>9738296
I was not being ironic, though. As long as we have this level of conflict and divisiveness we cannot move forward. One nation has to take over.

>>9738301
That's why we go to war. To get rid of those people.

>>9738303
Also Marines are the last one to leave the battlefield.

>>9738257
>デレがない
I-It's not like we want to rush your FOBs or anything, 白痴中國!

>>9738309

no it isn't

>>9738303
For the most part, yes, we do. Unfortunately, we've become a second army, of sorts. The big brass are trying to move away from this, although as soon as war breaks out, we'll be back to long ass deployments where our skills as amphibious warfare experts are worthless...

>>9738317

wtf i didnt know you were a marine already

>>9738226
I guess we spotted who wrote the statistical reference with awful grammar.

Should've gone to school, not the military.

>>9738321
The military will pay for your school, so there is no excuse, really.

I spent my last year at Ft. Bliss with each page of Berryz Koubou's 2006 Calendar plastered on my wall (even when MPs rolled through with their drug-sniffing dogs and CSMs coming by for barracks inspection). You'll be fine. Well, as long as you're great at whatever your job is or at least don't make it harder on everyone else, people will generally leave you alone.

HEY

HEY WAIT A MINUTE

If OP is getting brainwashed to loving his job, isn't he getting a rather nice deal then?

>>9738258
They turned out extinct
Wow, that sounds great

>>9738336
That was because they didn't exterminate their enemies fast enough, silly.

>>9738320
Everything I've stated is common knowledge among military types.

>>9738213
What's this? Have mercy on a non-/k/-savvy pleb.

>>9738343
Belted blanks, presumably 7.62x51 NATO. They make a big noise and have recoil, but no boolit.

>>9738343
Bullets have foreskins, too. Be gentle.
They're blanks.

>>9738232

Because we as a human race should be trying to promote our growth by teaming together as a community promoting technological advance and education.

But instead, countries like the US through capitalism, benefit in the form of money from stunting the growth and keeping other countries ignorant causing poverty and famine just so they can keep getting huge profits from their shiny trinkets.

We as humans smash each other to the ground just so we can get a bigger piece of the cake, even when there is more than enough cake for everyone.

>>9738331
Not really, because they don't teach you to love any job besides Infantry.. which I'm not doing.

>>9738361
Maybe the people who have the big slice of the cake don't want to share. How much money do you donate to the charity every year? Take your posturing somewhere else.

Why don't we all get nice jobs, like working in a quaint cafe or helping out at a florist?

Can I internet and play video games while in the navy?

>>9738372
Not him but I don't spend much, save a lot and plan to give most of it away eventually. But I don't know the best way yet. Just using on food aid for Africa would just perpetuate a problem, for example.

>>9738380
Yes, usually. You'll have to have a laptop, and you might have to play in common areas of the ship, where there's wifi.

>>9738361
Go to Africa, get raped, and then start advocating the mass genocide of niggers.
Wishful thinking is nice, but you have to realize the world is only friendly to you because you have the luxuries of the first world keeping people's primal urges sated.

Join the marines and you can become a rotting corpse in the desert too!

>>9738389
Not really, recovering remains is kind of a big deal.

>>9738389
If I was into that, I would just go to arizona and walk around for half an hour or so.

>>9738392
recycling saves money and is good for the environment

Why is no one answering his question? The faster we answer him, the sooner he'll leave and take his shitposting with him.

Depends. How integrated are you to weaboo things? Do you dress funny because of it? walk funny? Make weird faces? Do you talk about anime and shit to random people?

If you can answer no to all these questions, you should be fine. I've heard the marines aren't as retarded and brainfucked as is typically thought.

>>9738372
>>9738386

I live in a 3rd World Country that suffered from the imperialistic ways of the US, charities are nothing but ploys of the government to keep the ignorant masses content at their "effort" when in reality they do nothing but "obey" the US government because failure to listen to them will result in a small accident or an attempt of "freedom"

Truly, the american government and way of life is disgusting.

>>9738409

>>9738409
Tough.

True Otakus don't join losers like the marines.

Leave this board OP.

You think they have internet or let you have personal belongings?

All thats going to happen is military workout and then you'll be shipped off to some sandnigger country which is the total opposite of anime land.

>>9738386

there's definitely a lot of rape in africa because having higher melanin content in your skin makes you rape people

it has nothing to do with the horrendously shit situation the US put africa in. nope. all them. GOD BLESS AMERICA semper fi

>>9738431
>true Otakus don't join anything except groups of losers, like the Marines

ftfy

>>9738080

The army sounds like an easy way out but I don't think I could take a major personality change.

>>9738435
africa has never been a civilized continent. The only modern place in africa is the south which was colonized by white people.

I'm so weeaboo I can't cope with being around people who aren't Japanese or other weeaboos, so I definitely wouldn't cope in the army. I can barely interact successfully with any other type of person because we'd have nothing in common culturally or interest wise.

>>9738446
Egypt was civilized for a long, long time. They've fallen behind nowadays, though.

Rest of Africa was never "civilized," but it WAS a lot better off than it is today.

>>9738446

I'm not going to read this gay thread, but I am in the army and I have met plenty of nerdy people who play nerdy games and watch nerdy anime. Just pick a job that you figure lots of nerdy people would go for.

>>9738456
like data

>>9738456
Otaku don't socialize with anyone shithead

>>9738452
Dumbest shit I've ever read

fuck the military. what kind of otaku does that shit?

>>9738458
you know theres more diferences than skin color in just white and black people.

there's significant differences in physiology with africans and white people which the liberal faggots are too afraid to acknowledge or even bring up.

I don't consider blacks as lesser people but the world certainly is shaped with the white mentality and the blacks just cant keep up.

I'd join just to do something but I'm probably the furtherest from being a "team player" type person, which I'm sure is frowned upon. I'm that kind of guy that someone picks on in front of a few other people and then I can't let it go for months, staying up awake at night thinking about it. And then one day when we're under fire I'll do something on purpose to get them killed. And if I'm caught then I'd be screwed for life.

Although it'd be cool to be stationed in some arctic cabin or something staring at a radar screen all day alone.

>>9738435
If you decide to start raping people just because you have a shitty life situation then no, you aren't civilized.

I want to join the space defence force, how do I sign up?

>>9738471
It's funny when I here that, and see poor white trash around as being just as bad or worst than niggers.

>>9738469
It's actually a pretty good way to save up enough money to live the NEET life when you get out.
It's less ideal than leeching off of your parents or the welfare system of course, but not everyone has those options.

>>9738465
It's true that most of europe's population still lived in the stone age while Egypt had already a working society.

>>9738456
Thanks. I'm thinking Armory. Staying away from intel and data because I have no interest in those. I like working with my hands.

I'm reconsidering calling myself "otaku". clearly there's a whole lot of it that doesn't apply to me. But there's still a whole lot that does, and it's the only word that is short enough to use in conversation.

>>9738486
No, the dumb part is where you say that Egypt is the only civilization that Africa has ever seen

>>9738486
Egyptians aren't really lumped together with the rest of the African population most of the time.

>>9738484
I'm not saying white people are all perfect. But look at africa. Has there been any inventions/significant benefits to the human race aside from ancient egypt?

The only famous black inventors/people were under a western influence.

Also look at Madagascar. That country is so isolated but yet so shit still. Comparing Madagascar and Japan are a perfect example of the difference in basically everything.

>>9738502
That's funny because most of Madagascar's population is Melanesian

>>9738505
Wait, that might not be the right term, but they're from southeast Asia

>>9738485
Yeah, my thoughts exactly, as long as you don't blow all your money on alcohol and other nonsense, you can have a sizable chunk of change in your pocket to do whatever with.

Leeching off my parents and fucking off every day is nice, but the military gives me an opportunity to see more of the world, and experience a lot of things, for nothing on my part. If I get stuck in some shit lik e afghanistan, well... that sucks. But I'll do what I have to to just get over it and get back home.

>>9738502
>But look at africa. Has there been any inventions/significant benefits to the human race aside from ancient egypt?
read about North Africa under Muslim rule.
