/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

NEET threads always confused me as a product of /jp/, how are you supposed to embrace living in a consumption-based hobby, reliant on up to the minute knowledge of any given industry or series' developments. One that commodifies both time and effort, yet is also reliant on disposable income. Essentially, it succumbs to the urge to regress to the point of asking your parents for money, though extends to financial institutions, eventually culminating in an urge to go without food, bedding or shelter for some intangible benefit, a card, a bunch of numbers. and so on.

Does this lifestyle enable any attempt at living for an extended period, or is it just a band-aid solution for the loss of individuality in the year of our lord 2015, simplifying human lives to work solely for a sense of vague accomplishment, with no meaning to anyone else.

You don't need income when you can get everything off the net for free is why.

Trust funds, wealthy family, welfare mooching, criminal activities, and IT jobs make it easy to /jp/

However you need income to access the internet, and to be able to live comfortably otherwise. Or if not income, access to a significant amount of money, enough to make sure you're not worried about your situation for the foreseeable future.

It's easy to get on ssi. Any entertainment you get can be obtained for free online.

There's a lot of free easily available entertainment on the internet.

But the only reason I'm looking for any job at all is for material possessions to make myself happy and so I won't be pushed out for overstaying my welcome with nowhere else to leave to.

NEETs live off of the government or enablers like family members etc. This may mean parents who support them and give them dosh, or inherited money. I was a NEET for almost a year and a half before I was forced to get a job or sleep on the street. Working for a living fucking sucks, and anyone who says otherwise is delusional. I'd go back to being a NEET if doing so didn't mean I would go hungry.

If you want to go looking for hidden gems you'll have a hard time of it, but there's enough shit online for a lifetime. You can't possibly have jacked off to everything there is.

Obviously if you want to be picky then freeloader lifestyle isn't for you. But you can get by just fine if you're willing to settle for the vast quantity of otaku media online. Frankly settling down into the path of least resistance is the natural operating mode for that kind of person.

The OP seemed like a pretentious asshole

[Anonymous No.]

I need more piss bottle discussion in my NEET threads for it to feel like a real NEET thread.

[Anonymous No.]

People did, but at this point with how things are escalating, do you really think just letting NEET threads come back is going to do much? Im tellin you jans, a new board is about the only solution at this point.
