neet means he's a lazy fuck, not an autist

>>144776901
Pretty much.

>>144776942
But he is an autist, just not in a crippling way.

>>144776942
>found the 12 year old

NEET means Not in Education, Employment or Training.

>>144777007
So basically a lazy fuck.

>>144777058
You can be lazy as fuck and still be educated

The creators of this kinda made him a fully functioning part of society and then had him stay at home and called him a NEET. Then they gave him several mental disabilities when he went to the other world...

I guess you could call Subaru a "failed normie" because he displays a lot of traits of the normie, but as shown in the pic, is desperate to be loved.

>>144776901

NEET =/= hikki

There's so many idiots posting stupid shit in this thread that I don't even know where to begin telling you how wrong you are.

When was it ever stated that he was a NEET? In the very first episode he was carrying bags of shopping, which showed he left the house and did his own shopping instead of having mummy do it for him. The shopping contained apples and other fruits, not a NEET diet at all. And he wears a tracksuit, which indicates exercise. He is not a NEET and they never pretended he was

>>144777622
It's an adaptation, you know?

>>144777324
>He spends all the time flirting with the girls

>He has no inhibitions. It makes no sense.
Because he's an autistic NEET with no experience.

>>144777357
Every time? What do you think those silly poses are?

>>144777519
Yes he is a "failed normie", just like Elliot. Real robots are pretty much non existent and they don't even care about relationships.

>>144777433
You're a retard.
NEET is: >>144777007

It has nothing to do with being shut-in, you could stay outside all day and still be a NEET.

>>144777622
As a NEET I can explain these three things
One, NEETs do shop, just not much becase we have no income
Two, fruit is delicious, even to NEETs
Three, NEETs can wear tracksuits if at least 1/128th of their heritage is slavic

>>144777565

Actually there are a lot of them, and their numbers are increasing rapidly due in part to china's drive to become one of the top automated countries by 2020.

Yes, as long as you meet a minimum DRS(daily recommended squats) quota.

A NEET is just someone who isn't working or going to school. Anyone can be a NEET.
A hikki is a shut-in who can't leave the house and has social anxiety.

Even if it technically just means he just don't do nothing professional, you will never use "NEET" to a son of a rich who spend the day fugging girls.

>>144778030

Tracksuit aside, he does specifically say that he exercises a lot, with the "I'm a NEET, I don't have anything better to do" explanation.

I don't get why this show is so popular. It's really predictable and the characters are super annoying to a fault.

Correct, although this one is popular as fuck compared to (most) other isekai and thus more vocal.

Those terms are nothing alike.
Using the term 'NEET' to describe a man not in employment, education or training is literally the one and only way to use the word, regardless of whether he browses 4chan all day and pisses in a bottle, or if he fucks 3dpd models every night.

Stop your ridicilous damage control.
You were wrong, face it.

Pity arises from disgust or detestation for what someone else is putting themselves through. That must be some sort of slight discomfort to you, and no matter how small a victory for me.

>>144778403
From what I recall the term was first used by the British to classify young people in particular, the kind who not being in education, training, or employment would make them ner-do-wells, I don't think they used the NEET classification for retirees and pensioners, or just anyone who fit the acronym.

He's also fit and exercises. And he was outside his house when he got transported to the fantasy world, yet he called himself a "shut-in". I don't get it.

I thought he was a delinquent

>for once a Re:Zero thread isn't shitposting about Emilia or Rem but exclusively on Subaru

>>144779341
That's because the writing is terrible this arc. We have to have this character be utterly retarded with his thinking and emotions in order to explain the lore in the edgiest way possible.

>>144779261
Yeah, the fact that he was not only stronger than but also a better fighter than those street thugs felt like a pile of shit to me.

I mean, I know they're just street rats and shit but given that fact they should have been in a fair few street fights growing up and if he's a NEET shut in he should have been in a grand total of 0 fights.

Frankly they should have beaten that tar out of him. What kind of NEET can handle three muggers in a fight all at once?

>>144776901
hiki is autist
neet is lazy
/a/ is hiki and neet in amerifat so they get hiki bucks from the government

>>144779525
Wasn't there a theory that he was originally from the fantasy world and had his memories erased and banished to Earth? Would explain why a NEET of all people is physically fit, sociable, and fairly competent in a fight against much stronger enemies. Looking at the stomach lady and the dogs.

>>144777271
>starts to panic and act weird as soon as he is forced to socialize with others

>>144786568
He's capable of socializing well for about a week until his sociopathy and extreme egotism show through.

>>144786607
He did
Rem and Ram trusted him in the first loop
His relationship building with Beako is after the loops
Villagers liked him in all the loops
He got along well with Wilhelm nicely on their first meeting

Are you some /r9k/fag so desperate for an anime self-insert you're going delusional?

It still took him several loops to open up and build trust with mansion dwellers and villagers.
Don't pretend loops were not advantageous for him in that.

>>144786568

I'm a very introverted person, but in public I act completely different from the way I am.
I also pretend to be more friendly than I am.
And I'm real. So, Subaru is realistic to me. I see in him myself under many points of view.
Oh, right. Children like me very much, because I'm a bit childish despite to be a very serious type at the same time.

>>144786994
Dafaq you get your batteries from then?

Something fishy with Subaru's past or origin.

>>144786881
First loop he died to the dog, author even said he won their trust in that loop

He got along well with the villagers from the getgo. No loop knowledge was necessary for Beako since he liked her and she was lonely. Don't pretend your headcanon is canon when everything shows otherwise.

Indeed it's not easy at all. But life forces you to be like that anon. When you meet people also if you don't want to meet them, and so on. Wearing a mask is very common and it can't helped when you are not extroverted but you are forced in social situations.

So like every normalfag out there?

The difference between popular people and lonely people is that popular people aren't afraid of being rejected and failing when hitting on girls.

You're not forced though, that's self-deciet.
There is always the choice, you just judge consequences more severe than putting up with it for a while.
But it's a decision, nothing is forced here.
I can relate to Subaru too: working from remotely allows me not to spend my energy at those filthy normies and watch animus, read LN and fap.
So live the dream anon.

I see in him some of my flaws for sure.

you fucking normie fuck you

This thread is full of retards. What the fuck is the point of making him a NEET if it doesn't reflect a single thing about his personality? If he's outgoing, sociable, and gets along easily with women/strangers, his background should support that. Of course real people can be extroverted NEETs who get pussy 24/7, but he's a fictional character, and the trait should only exist to explain and support his behaviour. As is, it's just completely extraneous information that has nothing to do with Subaru as a person, or his lifestyle.

It's either a trick to get hikkis watching, or it's just bad writing. It's a mediocre series in general so probably the latter, it's full of cliche bait characters so why wouldn't the MC be one too?

Autistic girls with so much mental issues they go insane when confronted with their past and kill everyone in Arc 5?

His whole neet phase and being absent from school are things that happened recently. Arc 4 goes in debt into his past and explains why he acts like a goddamn autist. Anime will only cover all of arc 4 though.

He is good at athletics and not even dumb in any way, but daddy issues and inferiority complex makes him fuck up.

It's truly amazing how retarded most of the contrarians and shitposters are, like (You).

You meant arc 3.
Yeah such a pity we won't get Subaru's past, at least some people would shut up. He was never always a hikikomori, he has been a succesfull guy until some things happened.

>>144776901
I can do all of those things and I'm a NEET. You are just a faggot, OP.

Subaru's background, posted by an anon a few days ago:
>His dad was an extremely well-liked/influential figure in the community, and Subaru was naturally good at athletics, schoolwork, making friends etc when he was young, which prompted comparisons to his father and inflated his ego. But since he was coasting off talent, he eventually started falling behind. This panicked him because he was becoming less like his (perfect) dad, and he scrambled to find a way to sustain his resemblance.
Subaru's dad is eccentric as fuck in his speech and behaviour, he even does the memeboy pose. Subaru focused on imitating this aspect of his father and progressively did crazier and crazier shit so that he'd stand out as the kid who did cool, exciting stuff nobody else did. His friends couldn't keep up with it and he soon lost them all. When he realised this, he instantly dropped the persona and proceeded through middle school by quietly keeping to himself, ashamed at how he'd failed to match up to his dad.
His high school was somewhat out of town, in an area where his dad's name didn't have any weight. He decided to take the opportunity to make news friends and start over, but instantly flubbed it due to social retardation. He withdrew from his peers out of mortification and started fearing the idea of people having expectations of him, including his family. Eventually he started truanting and it snowballed into hikki.
He resents himself for being inferior to his dad and wants to be disowned, so that he doesn't have to deal with the expectation of being like his father, or sullying his father's presence for being such a disappointment. Unfortunately, his parents are supportive. Also, during all this, he kept up his genki genki act at home. Then he gets isekai'd.

It's actually interesting to think of Subaru as a critique of the show's audience. It doesn't portray hikkikomore as socially inept, but it's still heavily critical.

I'd really love to read his background. The fact he became a hikki doesn't mean he was always a loser. On the contrary, he was brilliant. Such a pity his father complex ruined his development during a very delicate age.
But all his potential as a person is still in him.

Is all this revealed in the LN at some point?
