I used to back in the day. I used to swing with little girls amazingly good at holding the shaft but then I was removed for being a 26 year old male losing against the local all-female 4th graders softball team.

I hate that people always say this type of shit like "try hard, doesn't matter that you failed". Yes of course it fucking matters, most of the time you'll end up in place worse than when you started and are just mindlessly fighting the waves of daily misfortune. You'll never accomplish your dreams anyways.

>>142204289
>most of the time you'll end up in place worse than when you started

This is false because now you'll have the experience needed to make failure a less common option.

Not trying is synonymous with failure in a lot of situations anyway.

>>142204289
You're an idiot. And probably miserable, too.

Failure is a much underrated ally to humanity.

People go too far with the FLCL is cocks meme. Yes the head boner is a cock. But the baseball thing isn't a cock. Or at least not just a cock. Growing up isn't just cocks, you dicks.

I remember seeing this at an anime con looooong ago and never feeling more confused in my entire life. Didn't help that I walked in half-way through it.

And I've been swinging the bat since I was 16. Though, it's been a slow season lately....

Because it's an archetype that I feel is pretty hard to screw up even if it relies on a lot of cliches to get the message across because it's incredibility relatable. The less cliches the better, but I get you.

>>142202257
I don't know, I don't even really have anything to lose so it can't be fear of failure. I guess I just don't think anything will ever come of me following my dreams so I don't see the point.

>>142222090
Because they give me a slight glimpse of the emotions which I could have felt during that time but missed out on

>>142204289
then swing the fucking bat again

Because i don't like baseball analogies

>>142222873
Coming of age usually doesn't rely much on cliches at all except in the most broad sense. Its also extremely easy to screw up, it's just that it's easily among the most compelling story archetypes and because of that a great deal of media (and therefore a great deal of good media) can fall under its umbrella. In some ways one could argue that all narrative driven media are coming of age.
