As long as the shit youre wearing is appropriate and isnt obscene or offensive, people in the real world really dont give a shit. Like a lot of things itll only really attract others who share the interest and maybe antagonise those who are consciously against it. As long as youre not being obnoxious or never shut up about your interests, by and large, nobody will care what you do with your time.

If you really wanted to "fly under the radar" youd do much better to do the exact opposite of what you claim to be are doing.

>>13090626
If you ignore the part where it has a print on it, it's just a nice t-shirt. We wear nice t-shirts because we think they look good, on us and on their own, and consequently feel good wearing them. The person might just think the print looks good.

Past that, though, if the print is actually a factor, there could be a number of reasons. Maybe the person wants people to know s/he likes thing? If you personally think that's a bad thing to do, too bad. Normalfriends wear shit like sports shirts (I like handegg team X!) and it's hardly different. They can work as a conversation starter, though I really doubt they ever do. I personally just wear what I think looks good because I feel good wearing clothes I think are nice.

>I buy entirely for myself

>I don't care about what people think
1. You spend extra money on a t-shirt so that it has your interests stamped on it. With the distinct purpose of wearing it in public, and you know it.

2. "The way they make me look" is the sole reason people buy some clothes over others. What defines "the way you look" is how you're perceived by people, whether you like this or not. Either accept you care how you're perceived by people or sell every fucking mirror in your house.

3. There's nothing inherently "nice" about your t-shirts, they are regular t-shirts with graphics stamped on them. You could argue "the graphics look nice" (they don't), but think about how retarded it would be to wear t-shirts with cool pictures of nature on them, for example.


I'm not trying to offend you here. The day you accept and interiorize that just like everybody else in this world, you DO care about what people think of you, and work with it instead of against it, you'll be much happier. You'll look better too.

Don't bother replying "ur a faget and ur wrong", I won't reply back. I'm not gonna argue because I can see you'll just go back to "I buy it for me, so that I can see myself in the mirror and say BOY I SURE LIKE TOUHOU".

Just give it a thought. Good luck.

you likely have been somehow ridiculed about your status and/or the way you look at some point in your early life, and because it was extremely painful to admit that you had no control over someone deeply hurting your feelings, you progressively deluded yourself into believing the extreme opposite: that you don't care at all what anyone thinks about you, or that you don't have these feelings, or any other lie that deludes you into believing you're in complete control of your self esteem, (as opposed to other people being in control of it), to the point of reflexively making a personal statement about it in every chance you get. "tough guys" were invented in fiction. get better

Do you think ZUN wears those trippy shirts and this funny yet stylish hat because he wants to impress others? No, he doesn't, he does because he thinks it's cool.
We all should follow his example and follow our dreams, may it be a stupid weeb shirt or a funny hat.
It's alright, you are wrong, and you were right when you mentioned I was bullied in the past. But we all learn from these things, may it be my fault or not, and I learned I should do what I want and not care about what others think.

After the sprite is finished I tansfter it to making tape then take it off the pegboard and reset any beads that have fallen off, then I poke holes in the tape in the middle of the beads. Then you cover it in parchment paper and melt one side together with a hot iron.

>>13108779
Over time it warps the boards destroying the pegs and causing them to interlock unevenly.

It makes it easier to fully close the beads on one side and for me to leave one side unmelted which is the look I prefer as it looks more uniform especially when mixing brands of beads for color pallet.

Finally it allows me to do a sprite in a modular fashion. I can complete a section and transfer it off the board to avoid losing the whole sprite in a disaster or finish it later if I run out of a color and I can still use my boards until I get that color. It also allows me to make sprites larger then my boards allow as I can transfer all the modules off the board and line then up and stick them together with tape before they are melted. I have always had problems patching together already melted pieces as the edges melt and warp in shape.

Can you see the crease where I patch this sprite together?

This much is enough for me, thanks. I hate trying to melt together two parts.
I guess mainly I'm skeptical of the masking tape. Maybe it's just my masking tape but I can't imagine the beads hanging on. Maybe I'll try it next time.

>>13108845
I had heard of the masking tape method for years but was afraid to try something new. Now that I have learned it I would never go back.

First time I tried it I totally ruined the sprite so start with a small one. Do not let the tape touch the sprite then curl up as everything will come up with it and fan out words so they will not go back on the board as a group and need to be reset individually.

When I am going to tape off a large sprite I take one long piece of tape and place it carefully but firmly down the center then cascade each piece of tape off of it so the piece of tape I am setting it anchored to the a piece of tape that is already set, stopping it from curling up and ruining the sprite.

Just like ironing it is just something you learn by doing to do a small sprite you don't mind losing for your first try.

That's a complicated answer because on the one hand, Japs are super concerned about appearing as normal and average as possible so they wouldn't want to advertise their far-out there interests.

...but on the other hand its considered "normal" and "average" for a Japanese person to have a few modest, socially vetted quirks like being a fan of Totoro or Doraemon. If you are ballsy you can also try your luck on the flavour of the year (like Frozen or Nameko ect)

As far as fashion goes, whatever is printed on a shirt is secondary to if you look overall fashionable. It would be hard to get called out for being Otaku just because your shirt had a Nineball. What you might be concerned about is having a Cirno ensemble from head to toe.

If you are going to Akiba or an off-kai its a different story altogether.

I wore a Bebop shirt to the mall once. Our FYE has a pretty big anime section, and I find lots of good deals on used stuff, picked up Grave of the Fireflies for 1.99 a few weeks ago. Anyway, the one time I wore that shirt, a group of yoloswag kids followed me around the store talking shit the entire time. I was also alone, usually I'll take my GF or go with some buds but I wanted a day to myself and this kinda shit happens. Anyway, made me feel weird so I stick to occasionally wearing shirts of my favorite Japanese bands.

There's no real need. If anyone isn't cool enough to get anime then fuck 'em. I still talk to random salespeople about Marvel and DC stuff and how despite the fact that the Punisher and Batman are regular humans that they could solo any 'verse (Batman kicked Punisher's ass in an official crossover to save the Joker's life.) They're just to intelligent and have a plan for everything and Batman even beats Superman, who could typically solo any 'verse himself off sheer power (Nintendo, Sonic, Mass Effect, Star Wars, Final Fantasy, and even DBZ Superman solos off sheer power whereas Batman solos off sheer planning and calculation ability.)

Where was I? Oh yes, you only live once, don't hide your powerlevels just to appease plebs who don't even know what Attack on Titan is.

I think you can go the middle ground though.
I'm 20, yet I wear t-shirts with simple graphics on them. Nothing overtly colorful, think of a madotsuki shirt (just red with the window on the front), or that gengar nightmare t-shirt everyone has everywhere for some reason, or a t-shirt with the circle nine on the front.

They're all simple designs, they're not loud, yet I do recognize they're childish.
I won't pretend that I don't care about anyone looking at them thinking badly of it, but at the same time, I like the shirts.
I wear them because, in case I meet another huge weeb or loser who enjoys the thing I do, it will be an ice breaker, and something that will give me something to start a conversation with a like-minded soul.

There's the wrong idea floating around that you can only be one 'kind' of popular. It's true that being /fa/ and /fit/ helps you infinitely more with general society and in a lot more situations, but you can still be a normally functioning human being if you're in the right group, even if you wear loud t-shirts with "I luv mistress REmi ^^" graphics on them.

It's not the shirt that's bad, it's just that the person wearing it has a high chance of being a faggot. We're confusing cause and effect here.

White shirts with a print on them always look like shirts you'd wear as pjs or around the house.

Also, being in Japan, shirts with Japanese lettering make me cringe. Nobody would wear them around here no more than you'd see an American wearing a star and stripes shirt with "HELL YEAH FREEDOM" printed on it.
