Have you ever thought of leaving the otaku fandom forever?

[Anonymous No.]

Never. No regrets, Only path, blah blah.

[Anonymous No.]

Yes.

But then I bounce right back.

[Anonymous No.]

I can't even fully immerses on it, but neither could I leave it for good. But I think most of us in the future would be similar to old Simon's (Gurren Lagann) "been there, done that" expression.

[Anonymous No.]

Literally not even once, ever my whole life.

[Anonymous No.]

Never. Even while i study and work it is important that i have something to enjoy and kick back once i have free time and need to enjoy life.

[Anonymous No.]

Why would I abandon something I love

[Anonymous No.]

Once you're here, you're here forever

I used to want to become a normalfag a few years ago, but that never worked out at all. I just can't imagine growing out of it, my life would become unbearably dull and gray if I somehow did. Ever since I stopped trying to become a normalfag, I have decided to never hold back, no matter how low I sink, I want to continue in this comfortable and happy lifestyle. Admitting this was one of the biggest reliefs of my life.

I have no regrets. This is the only path.
My whole life was unlimited otaku works.

I've never thought about leaving the fandom. I love it, but sometimes I get really sick of it.

Playing eroge and looking at same-faced girls with rainbow hair doing the same trite shit, I wonder, "What the fuck am I doing?". Or watching an anime and I wonder, "Will I ever see these characters have a realistic conversation? Will they ever talk like your average person instead of repeating each others names or reiterating what the other character just said like a broken record?". Sometimes they do, and it's great, but it doesn't happen often. Everything just feels so empty and fake. I know the conversations are just a script. I know they're not supposed to be well written masterpieces or anything of the sort, I just wish it was more heartfelt.

When I go on niconico and read the comments it feels like I'm surrounded by 12-year-olds. Those type of 12-year-olds that giggle whenever someone says penis or vagina.

Whenever these thoughts pop up, I just remind myself that I shouldn't bother to look for realism in Japanese entertainment mediums and just enjoy it for what it is: an escape from everyday life. I can get my dose of realism when I leave my computer anyway.

Hell even a few weeks ago I wiped my hard drive and boxed up my figure collection and used the space for books.

But here I am, still sleeping awkwardly enjoying stupid Japanese shit.

I was always told I was "way to mature" for my age from my childhood into my teens. So I ended up becoming a shut in because I hated to deal with the normalfag shit that I felt was below me.

And now since I haven't changed since my teenage years I've fallen behind and I'm a completely useless fucktard. I'm now below everyone else in my agegroup in intelligence and maturity

I can try and force a change all I want, but it's not going to happen. Only so much a weak willed idiot can do.

Yes I mad

[Anonymous No.]

I never really considered making an active effort, I just thought I'd stop being one eventually.

That was nearly 10 years ago.

I did the opposite. I finally deleted the last of my 3D porn, and am about to take the next step in getting disable, I suppose I'll be living the dream soon enough.


No I not mad.

[Anonymous No.]

Nope never.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm not really an otaku. Don't care much for most Japanese stuff. When I'll get bored I'll quit. If I don't I won't. Simple.

[Anonymous No.]

Why would you just stop liking what you like? If you wanted to venture into normalfaggotry, you can still enjoy otaku related hobbies.

[Anonymous No.]

I've already been doing that.

I've been living the dream for years now, but I feel so useless its not even funny ;_;
