/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

>For Morinaga, the idea that he supported men who are, like himself, ‘otaku’, is important. Morinaga sees otaku as men who are not good at love and dating. ‘Their opportunities to encounter women fall, and they become increasingly bad at dating women. They fall in love with the 2D female characters from anime and manga. But I want to tell them that human women are also great fun!’

>‘The income-gap is often focused on, but what’s more severe is the gap in appearance. Men who look good get an unbelievable amount of women. There are even men who’ve had relationships with over 100 women at the same time. Consequently, the problem arises that women only focus on one group of men.’

>Morinaga, who has many opportunities to learn about the love lives of these so-called handsome men due to his television appearances, suggests the following.

>As important elements of love, Morinaga raises (1) appearance, (2) wealth, (3) charm, and of these, the most significant is appearance. ‘No matter how much ugly men live it up at go-con group dates, in the end the girls always like the ike-men, that is the men who are the most attractive. But people can’t do anything about the way they look. Therefore, by redistrubuting the wealth, we will correct the inequality.

I think the idea presented in OP is flawed. Relationships are supposed to be about love, common experiences and trust. Of course it is important to work with yourself and your image to attract the interest of others, but in the end the love and genuine interest that both partners experience towards one other is what makes a successful relationship. Are males and females really so alienated towards one-other in Japan? It's so sad.

The term otaku was born 20-odd years ago because young men who were not good at conversation spoke to others saying "Otaku wa ... " （literally meaning "Your house is... ," but also expresses a slightly distant way of saying "you."）.
「オタク」という言葉が誕生したのは20数年前で、話下手な若者がほかの人
に話すとき「オタクは…（言葉の意味は「あなたの家」だが、「あなた」
の少し距離を置いた言い方である）」をよく使うことからだといわれる。

Stickling for detail and fond of collecting, their characteristics are similar to the "mania" person （maniac）, but the word comes from the fact that they say the words, "Otaku wa..." （And how about you?...） when speaking to others.
詳細にこだわる、収集癖があるなど、その特性はマニアと似ているが、相手
を「おたくは…」と言うことからこう呼ばれる。

An otaku is an obsessive hobbyist and generally, the image of these people is one of socially dysfunctional individuals, gloomy, unkempt and possibly with a Lolita complex.
オタクは一つの趣味に極端に執着していて、一般的に社交下手な人間で、ネ
クラ、ださい外見、そしてたぶんロリコンというイメージである。

The appearance and behavior of otaku can sometimes give the impression to people that they are potential sex criminals.
オタクの外見と行動は、時として性犯罪者予備軍という印象さえ与える。

Otaku are also not popular among women.
オタクはやはり女性に好かれない。

I think that's a good idea. People who have natural advantages in finding relationships should be punished to create more equality for those lacking such advantages. In the past it was easy for most men to get married but due to societal changes women are now following their biology and it is causing societal collapse.

Your looks will definitely get you past a lot of starting barriers, but you've got to have a baseline of sociability to keep things going. Or, as you said, lots of money. I think money is sort of the 'instant win' option, provided you have a lot of it. Keep in mind that will only attract scum.

Bullshit. If you work out and take care of yourself, you can look pretty presentable. And since otaku just basically go to work and then sit home, would it be so bad to lift some weights while watching anime and then doing some crunches between them?

Why do otaku wear headbands?

[Anonymous No.]

from that hour long google talk about sex and why liking penises isn't gay, they raised a point about women's attraction towards men that i thought was interesting.

they took data from thousands of case studies that showed women are more attracted to men if many other women are also attracted to the same man. a man who is in demand is more attractive. of all women to choose from, he chooses you. this is demonstrated to be a super exciting concept to a lot of women.

i don't think it's entirely true for most men since we'll fuck pretty much anything.

Umm, someone want to explain to me how taxing "handsome men" is suppose to level the playing field for otaku men, who are "supposedly" too ugly or "lack money" to get married.

One has to remember that the main point of this is for marriage and not "love" in the truest sense. Its hard for a economy like Japan's to pad their bottom-line if their people aren't getting married and subsequently having babies ( a market demographic that spends the most over a long period ). Don't believe the hype, fellas. Japan would have to examine their root causes to their problems to deal with their dismal dwindling population numbers and the problem IS NOT "otaku", and not "handsome men," or "women"/ "women's rights" or whatever the fuck.

[Anonymous No.]

same shit would be happening in USA if not for all the immigrants dropping babies. white americans will be a minority by 2043.

no fucking way would japan ever accept that. even a non-jap population of around 2% is enough to make the old racists moan. imagine the shitstorm of right wing rage if they started letting negros and muslims in.

never going to happen. they will end up doubling the monthly child benefit and birth payments at least to make it affordable to have kids. free day care from all the old people would be a good idea too so that women can work and have kids more easily.

Yeah, they've done that some years back and yet still they struggle. Other social pundits their have lamented that they are already at the "point-of-no-return," claiming that if every woman who is of child-bearing age had at least three kids among them, it still wouldn't be enough. Wonder how the japanese will deal with that reality in 30 some-odd years, since they clearly have their heads in the sand.

I don't know what they taught you. But it's not pathetic that you don't have any women (or men). It is, however, very pathetic to be so fixated on men/women. It's like talking about how to make lots of friends. That's why no one takes you seriously. You just don't do that. "Human women are great fun"? What is this, a theme park with mass manufactured toys? And please don't pretend that you're giving advice. The world is not so boring that everybody will have the same ideas when it comes to choosing people they want to hang out with. Your rant is so depressing that listening to it would give me the impression that the world is so bland and boring, that life was just a pointless Darwinian rat race catering to the lowest common denominator, if I also didn't know it was also total bullshit.

I just saw my professor whipping out his Ubuntu laptop with a TTGL wallpaper the other day during a class presentation. The day after, a girl was reading Snow Crash in my differential topology class and when I talked to her she could name drop her favorite sci fi novels. One of the many joys of life is that it is always full of surprises. If the people don't surprise you, then it's just a sign that you're not hanging out at the right place. And this coming from a guy who never shows up at parties.

If you enjoy being with someone and can relate to them in so many ways, you'll know it, and you'll also want to give them joy in return. You don't need anybody's advice to do so.
