/jp/, I have a problem(I think).

I enjoy otaku culture. I enjoy it too much. I have played old ass shitty VN's and liked them. I have sat through green green and cosprayers and liked them.

I can tell when something is shit or not but I still end up enjoying the shit. I can probably sit through naruto if I wanted. I like eroges just because they are eroges, I like anime just because it's anime.

Are there any others who experience this? Should I consider this a problem?

>> No.9507591

Enjoying your hobbies doesn't seem like a problem to me.

I wish there were more people like you around here.

>> No.9507607

This is actually by far the most depressing thing I heard today.

>> No.9507617

As long as you legitimately enjoy it, it doesn't matter why or what it is.

No manga?

>> No.9507641

I was actually this way for a couple of years. I watched every new show that came out, regardless of how badly the general reception was.

These days I pick around 5 shows a season, and drop them if I'm not enjoying them. Enjoy what you have while you do.

please explain to me why something for entertainment purposes that holds no artistic value should be rated based on anything other than how much pleasure you get from it

Games, anime, vn's, ln's, manga. The shittiest manga I have read was like from the 80-90s. It was about this guy who had a twin female. He was supposed to take on the throne but he died and they declared that it was the female who died. I can't remember what it was called but I read it a long time ago. The art was terrible too.

5 shows? I can barely watch one, and I'm so lazy that I often watch the previous week's episode as soon as the new one is released. I don't know if it's only mindless pseudo-elitism, but I just can't see Anime the same way after watching LOGH.

>> No.9507677

My problem is that I just can't enjoy anything. Watching anime (or anything else) feels too passive. I don't like just sitting and watching anymore, I get fidgety and bored. I don't like most otaku media because it seems like it panders to an otaku audience. I want to get back to reading S&W but /jp/ distracts me.

Can we swap?

What's S&W?
Genuinely curious.

So? That's ok I guess.
As long as you retain some critical thinking there's nothing wrong. Something doesn't have to be good for you to enjoy it.

You think those nerds who watch countless crappy horror movies only to pan them on the internet latter does it by sense of duty? They enjoy watching them.

It's called being passionate I think. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I think it's even more pathetic to watch and read series to hate it. Just look at /a/ so no, you have my respect.

>> No.9507836

>>9507815
Uh I sometimes enjoy consuming something I hate just so I could wish what if it didn't suck so much.

For one, I really love FFVIII's setting, music and its entire first CD, but the story is such a mess I love to hate it with passion. Same about mostly all 3D Final Fantasies so far.

This has nothing to do with the topic, by the wayl

I, too, am trying to come to terms with knowing I'm a plebeian. I've spent most of my time hanging around with elitists, so it should have come naturally that I had high standards and a dignified taste. Instead, I enjoy complete crap and get no enjoyment from doing things just because they are/are not popular.

We belong to the group of people who have genuinely shit taste, instead of just being ignorant philistines. Welcome to not being able to share what you enjoy with people who are either too stupid to understand what they like is not the best thing ever, and people who refuse to watch the garbage you do.

>> No.9507877

I think I am the same as you too. I dread going on /a/ because they hate everything.

Actually, if you lurk that place long enough you'd find out they share mostly the same tastes as us. They're just in complete denial mode to repel off normals and newfags from /v/ Not like I'm trying to d-defend those shitheads or anything.

I am an elitist audiophile faggot in when it comes to music, but I can enjoy a wider spectrum of suck in videogames, anime and movies.

>> No.9508056

I don't go on /a/ much because I honestly don't care what anime other people like or dislike or how they interpreted the most recent episode of shitty series X.

It's better to just enjoy these things on their own merits without really thinking about it.

op, have you played green green 2 and 3, they're better cause you just implied 1 was shitty,

and for your question, I've had vn's I've dropped, and manga, as well as anime so I guess yes, but if it entertains you then you have nothing better to do really

But /a/ doesn't discuss interpretations, they make endless streams of image macros and ebin photoshops and insightful posts about which characters they'd like to fuck.
