[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, considering that even though we don't get along with each other here much, we still get along with each other better than we do most other people on the planet.

There's a couple thousand of us, so statistically there might be a couple of /jp/sies lurking somewhere around Nor-Cal. Hell I've probably passed some by at uni, or drove by the houses of some of the NEETs, and never knew it. Which is a shame, I'd totally like to go visit you guys and share/trade doujinshi etc.

Ultimate /jp/ meetup would be if we met up at a Comiket. We'd be styling all over the place together.

>Ultimate /jp/ meetup would be if we met up at a Comiket.

Nah, ultimate /jp/ meetup would be in Aokigahara. We'd fight the souls of the departed while collecting treasure, dungeon crawler style. We should also befriend and bring a loli itako (who would be off-limits since she's already married to a deity) to the forest so that she can summon some of the less hostile ghosts and learn about the supernatural from them. Our goal would be determining the location of the Dragon Palace in Yonaguni. After we do so, we'd set out for the palace of Ao Guang in the East China Sea and convince him to grant us equipment for our noble quest, that will allow us to survive in space (Ao Guang had some pretty crazy artifacts in Journey to the West, he probably has a few magical spacesuits lying around.)

After this is done, a select few of us, plus the itako, would go to the moon to visit Chang'e, one of the most knowledgeable people around when it comes to immortality (she consumed two doses of the immortality elixir, making her twice as immortal as anyone else.) We will use the itako to call the spirit of her long-dead husband, Houyi, and allow them to settle their grudge. After Houyi passes on peacefully (he'll still end up attacking a party in a boss fight though!), we'll ask him and Chang'e the location of Xi Wangmu's palace and the quests we must undertake to obtain the immortality elixir.

See, that's what people say when they don't live in Cleveland. Not Beachwood, not Lakewood, not Shaker, but Cleveland.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6561635
Next, we need to guarantee that we will be able to pass those tests. We will travel to India and track down a vetala, granting him corporeal form with out itako, solving his riddles and having him tell us the optimal course of action in order to face our trials (vetala are apart from conventional spacetime and exist in the past, present and future at the same time.) With this, we'll visit Xi Wangmu and obtain enough elixir of immortality for all of us.

Next step will be the hardest, it will involve finding and carrying out a ritual to release Sun Wukong from the Eight-Trigrams Furnace, now known as the Large Hadron Collider (Journey to the West was written by aliens from the future, it didn't happen yet and Wukong is still in the furnace.) After sneaking into the physics facility and fighting the robotic drones which CERN surely uses, we'll help Wukong out and ask him to teach us the 72 arts of transformation.

At this point, our journey will be nearing its end. We'll all transform into cute girls and drink the immortality elixir, and then we'll find the Penglai mountains and live forever as a few dozen young maidens all lesbian for each other.

To be honest I'd think it be pretty scary meeting someone from the 'net. This is talking as one of those /jp/ers with 0 friends and who has never "hung out" before though.

Though I guess it would be cool to have another person to bike/jog/surf with. Or we could play music instruments or compare anime figure collections or something.

Is it really as bad as people say, crime-wise?

[Anonymous No.]

I like to joke that it is. "You know, Robocop was set in Detroit for a reason." and stuff like that, but really, as long as you avoid certain areas, you're pretty ok. Everyone's too depressed and Detroit's literally a ghost town anymore.

I love in the suburbs about 30 minutes north, though, so crime here's not really much of a problem.

Honestly, in my list of interests, acting like I'm from /jp/ is pretty low in the list. I just like Touhou and some VNs, pretty much.

I'm across the bay from Monterrey (Santa Cruz). Who knows, maybe I could see your house from here on a clear day if I had a nice telescope (I don't, don't worry).

Monty's about a half hour away. I honestly don't know much about your town actually besides that it has some expensive restaurants and a very cool aquarium. It takes me maybe an hour and a half (or longer) from where I am to drive up to the San Francisco peninsula. So, you're about 2 hours away from SF, and 3+ hours away from the North Bay.

I used to live in the North Bay (Santa Rosa), people are generally pretty similar all around here. Normals are normals all around, no surprise really. At least since we're in the most liberal part of the whole country, people don't really discriminate or talk shit to you about your hobbies because everyone is so P.C here. You'd have to go a couple hours south to start to see what the SoCal crowd is like.

It's the school's anime/manga club. I joined it for shits and giggles last year and was, unsurprisingly astoundingly higher in power level than most of the people there, even most of the officers. I think only the president had me bested. Not sure how it is this year.

I attended the meetings only a few times (maybe 2 or 3 out of the entire year), since I found it very very boring to watch anime I either didn't like, or had already seen. Even though the president had set some tolerable guidelines (Narutards, Bleachfag etc get automatically booted from the club among other /a/-like framework), I just couldn't stand being around low power levels. I guess I'm too elitist for my own good.

Oh and I'm a senior, I know the campus like the back of my hand, but obviously since I'm on /jp/ I don't give a flying fuck about the goings-on there, besides my own classes.

Rooming with some ronery pals for ALA. Apparently it's gonna be even cheaper than last time. Which means more budget for drinking booze in my Yuugi outfit

I always hear about these orgies but then find out it was three hotels over.

I'd say ">>>/cgl/ is that way" but that board dies at midnight.

I study at that spot a lot, since it's quiet (there's usually some faggots talking in the library); I am way too distracted by my computer at home to ever get work done. In fact I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, since finals are next week. I wear an orange-faced wristwatch. I'm not gay or will rape you or talk excitedly/loudly like a secondary or anything, so don't be a stranger.

I've got essentially zero friends irl, but wouldn't mind a fellow /jp/sie as a friend.

Due to this imbalance I have though, I am afraid that if I ever meet a /jp/'er in real life that he could be one of those VN-only people here, that hates Touhou.. and then we'd tragically actually have very little to talk about or agree with each other on.

The meetup would be very awkward. I know this as fact since I met someone who I suspected posts on /jp/ daily. A total NEET who is just now getting his high school diploma. We texted for a few weeks and I even asked to hang out and do things like ya know...normal people do. Of course he declined.

I even tried to make the interaction more comfortable for the guy by "broing" it up. Which is totally not me but I needed to do something to make our texting less awkward.

This how I'd imagine talking to most of you would be. I do not have the patience to go through that again.

There's actually a lot of girls on /jp/. It's one of those things you learn after a while but is mostly kept a secret. They know better than to speak up and be attention whores, is the difference.

I would go to a Portland /jp/ meet up. Let's have one. I'm so lonely. I want friends. ;_;

I can understand that there are girls on /jp/, which alone gives me cognitive dissonance, but a lot of them? Really?

I'd be hard pressed to believe more than 5%.

[Anonymous No.]

There are far more here than you think.

/jp/ girls are fat and/or ugly, which means they shouldn't count as real girls anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562677
I'd assume starved and over skinny, before fat.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562677
Plenty of them are very thin and at least okay-looking. They just don't wear makeup or leave their rooms.

[Anonymous No.]

There are reverse traps here. I dunno if they count as "real girls," though. I know one FTM tranny who goes on /jp/ and /a/. I guess that technically counts as a guy.

It doesn't matter though since it's irrelevant.
It's easier to go through life assuming all girls are either taken or, as is the case with a good number of girls into touhou, lesbian. That way you can not give a fuck and enjoy it all

This. One girl I know in college is a total tomboy and I guess is a little bit cute, but one time we had this weird fancy ball at our school and she dressed up in goth loli clothes and had someone do her hair and makeup. Didn't recognize her at all.

I live in Denmark, and the only "con" I've ever attended was this year's summer Comiket.

Fat chance of meeting any of you guys.
I probably wouldn't mind hanging out, but my level of autism isn't that high, so I guess I'd feel left out even around you guys.

[Anonymous No.]

So what do you base all these assumptions on? I understand everyone wants to love and be loved but it's still the real world we're talking about here. These girls will be looking for someone charming to swipe them off their feet and you are looking for someone cute with characteristics from 2D that don't transition well into this world.

I'd call your situation desperate.

[Anonymous No.]

How anti-social are you guys? I won't start a conversation, but if someone starts talking to me about something I can relate to or if someone invites me to go to a meetup, I would totally go....

Really skinny and nerdy people have the potential to be cute. As long as neither of the otaku are fat, I think they could find each other attractive.

[Anonymous No.]

They tend to be here because of Touhou. Compared to almost every other representation of girls in our field of media, Touhou's girls are fucking badass. Often, girls in anime, manga and especially VNs are formulaic, weak and there only to be used as sex toys.

Touhous however, whup a lot of ass, and are independent... no wishy washy bullshit over harem leads etc. And yet, they still have time for tea (and partying). They are inspiring in I guess a similar sort of vein that a lot of guys like, say, Archer.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562741
I don't really care about social or antisocial or whatever...basically I can talk with anyone as long as we actually have something to talk about. People just don't know the value of peace and quiet. If someone honestly invites me somewhere I wouldn't mind going. If someone tries to make me feel stupid and talks cliches about having fun and getting a life and going out with them to clubs, they can just go die for all I care.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562755
Cool. I pretty much agree.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562741
I'm fine with someone starting a conversation with me but if I get invited someplace I go into reverse gear hard. I'd probably reply with something that allows me to get away with not showing up but not saying no outright either.

Oh dear here we go.....Tomorrow there will be a /jp/ hookup thread and then /jp/ is really done for.

Go and be happy somewhere else.I'm here on /jp/ to enjoy the fact that I'll be forever alone

This is what we're here for, isn't it?

Well, except you don't notice the people who just stay quiet in the corner on the internet, I guess.

I can talk when it's around people I know, and if it's about a subject I enjoy.
I didn't really talk to people at all during my first year of university, apart from some people in the shared kitchen here at my dorm.

I still get horribly nervous when asking a question to a conference speaker and such.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562750
Archer was just depressing though. When you think about how Shirou actually becomes like that after all his strong words and actions, it's sad.

[Anonymous No.]

What kind of places would you "go out to"? I guess people automatically think clubs or bars, but I usually think a restaurant or a movie. Something like that is just one-on-one for the most part. Plus, I like to indulge in fancy food once in a while and watching a movie on a big screen is nice. A crowded noisy club sounds like the exact opposite of fun to me, though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562777
I participated in this thread with the mindset that nothing will actually come out of it. Just a decent conversation. /jp/ will continue to hiki in their homes, afraid of the outside world and human contact.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562781
I definitely would not, that's true.

How about a cinema?

I have one friend, and we go to the cinema every now and then.
I haven't seen him for about a month, but I plan on asking him if he wants to come to the city's amusement park to see the Christmas lights.
If he doesn't want to, I'll go myself because I've never seen them from inside the fence.

I would go to a /jp/ meet up to some quiet cafe maybe.... I know nothing will come of this thread, but I keep lurking here in the hope that someone from my hometown will show up. :[

With /jp/? To each others' houses. Bring a bunch of laptops / gamepads etc and play Soku, PoFV, Melty with each other etc.

If that gets boring we can go out and eat somewhere and split the bill. If we were in a group I think some people who normally would never go outside would at least have some tolerance of it, since they would know that they aren't alone and that as a group, strangers would not be very likely to say shit or start shit with us.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562788
Same here.
I've been out for a walk with a girl once. That was nice.
Movies are also nice. Other people's places or cinemas doesn't make a huge difference to me, I think, although it's more comfortable if it's a private setting.

Not my room, though. It's made for one person. Me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562811
>To each others' houses.
Problem with that is that many of us are either college students living in dorms or live at home... I wouldn't want to bring anyone into my house until I met them somewhere else first. I guess chatting a bit online first would be okay.

Yeah, that's the real rub here. Not everyone is a dependent or in an inaccessible area, though.

Also, usually after freshman or sophomore year, college students tend to move off-campus, where there are no rules on guests etc. If they had a place all to themselves (like I do actually), that could totally be a /jp/ hangout.

Alas, due to this being the internet though we are thinly spread out all over the globe, and so it's not a realistic prospect.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, there tends to be girls at Touhou meetups though (Thankfully!) Most people on /jp/ probably won't try anything funny anyways

>>6562790
Depends on the people, but that definatly does not have to be true.

By the way, how many of you hang out with the /jp/ crowd at the secret hangout spot on FormSpring?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6562828
Sure.
I like being around girls rather than guys. Either of them think I'm weird, but I enjoy talking to girls more.

Unless the subjects of conversations are something I can't relate to, then I'll just keep quiet.
