I wouldn't have realized the wonders of stereotypical female personalities and thus constantly regret not hooking up with the tsundere or lewd or innocent seeming girls I knew in high school whose personalities just annoyed me at the time until I learned to like anime.

I'd probably have been the nutty unpleasant kind of furry upon entering my sophomore year in uni.

With Otaku Culture, my parents, roommates, etc. never had to put up with that from me. Instead, I was well-adjusted, and well-liked as a direct result of being well-adjusted.

And now I'm well-educated.

Others have similar stories that revolve around other aspects of internet fucktardism and /b/tardation aside from furry fandom as well.

If you're talking about /jp/, then without it I would probably even a bigger otaku.

I have so much immediate feedback it's not even funny. I don't need to try hard so I don't try hard. I'm so fucking pampered that I can't be bothered to to actually be involved in my hobbies.

If my consumption of anime and manga were to be graphed over the past four years it would probably plummet sometime around when I found out that /jp/ had this thing called Touhou that gave me everything I wanted from Jap media without all of the bullshit that comes with mass marketed entertainment.

Not surprisingly I have been pulling myself away from /jp/ over the past month and for the first time in about a year I care about what series are coming out this year. Think I might watch the new Hidamari Sketch series.

Racism: racism is first attested 1936 (from French racisme, 1935), originally in the context of Nazi theories. But they replaced earlier words, racialism (1871) and racialist (1917), both often used early 20c. in a British or South African context

I think there would be to much overlap to actually use that to race people. My experience is with forensic anthropology, but if you absolutely must attempt to determine someone's ancestry, then you generally use the skull.
