Why do people take seriously things which were never meant to be taken seriously in the first place?

Like communism. Who really thought anybody was being serious when they came up with it? Yet they ran with it, and look what happened with that.

Maybe I just lucked out, but the one lit class I had to take was the same level as high school. Which is to say, we didn't learn anything and just waxed poetic about nothing in essays to get A's.

neologisms like "moe", "tsundere", "yandere" etc have been so completely overuesed they have become essentially meaningless.

Its really stupid how Otaku come up with these terms, did we all watch anime in the 90's and get by just fine describing characters without having to make up shit terms like these?

See, I can't tell if the upsurge in character archetypes is the industry churning out endless streams of casts that consist entirely of girls that are one dimensional cardboard cutouts designed to sell merch, that can only be described with terms like "the loli", "megannekko", "dojikko", "bukukko", "tsundere" in a pick and choose style by committee.

Commitee: "lets have a yandere, a childhood friend, an Imouto, a meido, and oooh, what's hot now are the Kuuderes, so lets have one of those."

Kuudere? Honestly, what the fuck?
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Kuudere

Or maybe it is simply the japanese fandom coming up with terms to simply described preexisting character personalities that have been around for decades, sort of like how tvtropes comes up with stuff like "the wesley", or "draco in leather pants", stuff like that

I think the community came up with the special words to describe personalities so it's okay to use them when applicable, but if someone on Gaia or wherever throws out phrases like "sugoi genki meganekko loli" then they end up sounding like a pretentious idiot

pardon me for sounding pretentious by using the word pretentious

Similar terms could be made to classify all characters in Western media, but we don't have thousands of obsessive NEET otaku who have nothing better to do then come up with terms for every possible archetype.
