First for Karen Dess~

It's too late for me, I can't start being normal now.

>I believe that any respectable grown man shouldn't spend three hundred dollars on molded plastic.
Then what should he spend it on, provided he has the rest of his shit together?

You know, a house, car, family, and retirement.

>im shitposting dont take me seriously

>>150088609
As I said "There is a difference between enjoyment and obsession."

>>150088636
I'm quite serious. Anime has made it easy to get into a unhealthy lifestyle. Nothing is wrong with a hobby. But an obsession is never healthy.

>>150088636
>Retirement
>Thinking we'll live long enough to retire

>Ruin people lives

Yeah, why not just nuke everything?

>>150088036
People just want to enjoy their live, and for many, anime is one of the few things they can enjoy. Especially when you really can't stand being around people or being reminded too much of the world. And people don't owe anything to the world. "damage to society" my ass. People hiding at home don't harm anybody. Hell, otaku like in your pic finance anime for everybody else.

>A child's quote "Reality is too fake." Is a troubling statement to me.
Maybe the child is referring to how hypocritical the real world is. Adults tell you shit like "you can't solve problems with violence", yet all you see in the news and get from history classes is that people are full of shit and killing each other by the millions for asinine reasons. Adults made a fucking industry out of killing people. Or they tell you shit like "beauty comes from inside", "it's the inner values that count, looks don't matter". Yet all the celebrities and heroes in movies are clearly attractive by very objective standards. Leaders of the world are obvious fucking retards yet everyone acts like they're legitimately the best and to be respected. Yadda yadda yadda. Smart children understand this kind of shit, and the sensitive ones may decide they want as little to do with real people as possible.

TLDR: you're a faget

>>150088036
>it's actually not a pasta
What the hell.

How about you stop telling people how they should live, retard.

So is this stealth collection thread or is OP serious?

If serious, don't blame the merchandise. Addiction and obsession don't just open up because one likes something. They happen because person in question has a predisposition for them or is lacking fulfillment or motivation. Anime just happens to be fairly costly hobby to REALLY get into but so is drinking, smoking, vaping and etc. It also happens to be a very appealing one since there is plenty of imagination, variety and accessibility to enjoy.

tl;dr: It's not your waifu's fault you're a wreck

>>150088609

There's not much in life that brings real value, the only essentials you really need are food, water, a place to live, and some cheap entertainment to amuse yourself until you die.

In some ways, this is why I have a job because when I finally come home and watch anime or read manga I feel like it brings me peace rather than just gives me something to do. When I used to be a NEET, I would be utterly bored of everything, even things I actually liked.

So in all honesty, there's not much out there to spend money on that brings any real value. Spend it however you want, whether it be on figs, anime, manga... whatever brings you joy. As long as you have necessities covered, nothing after that actually matters.

What a man chooses to spend his money on in his business and does not affect society at large.

Trekkies are even more autistic, I think. They have their own initiation rituals even, or so I've heard.

It's your money, I don't care as long as it's not ill-gotten gains.

Obsession is what drives human civilization forward. Stop blaming it, it's more like anime industry is mostly shit, and not 'obsessive' enough to care about it's quality.

>>150088976
>it's actually not a pasta
It will be now.

OP is right and the rest of you faggots are in denial. Anime is not the cause of the problems but it exacerbates them.

You can really frame this problem in a number of ways. Instead of blaming video games or anime, you could argue that people are simply choosing to opt out of the raw deal they consider "normie" life to be.

Too long didn't read

Now check my digits

If Eva couldnt teach people anything your silly thread wont either OP

>>150088036

For gods sake man, don't just type up a wall of text like that if you want people to read your stuff.

Use paragraphs and spacing.

>>150089093
Agreed. Having been a NEET, became a worker, and now a NEET again, I would rather be working, if for something to do if nothing else.

>>150088036
Fiction has always been where people run to hide when they are not happy with their life. Movies, novels, any media can offer that refuge. Any drug too. Stop to try fooling people into thinking anime is a problem.

Regardless of anime.
The things we use to distract ourselves from death usually kill us.

Back then we wrote messages on rocks and rolled them down hills and hoped the other cave would find them.

Yes, it will ruin people's lives. Take a look at 4chan.

>>150089093
So true.
Though we're wired to seek the path of least resistance, we're often the least miserable with some challenge.
Cities clad in brilliant lights, miracles of technology everywhere you go and yet the simpler people with more tangible challenges like farmers and villagers have lower rates of suicide and depression.
I suppose we build our cells one brick at a time.

Anime isnt even good, how can adults get obsessed with something so shallow, its just a fun distraction.

>>150089282
This.
I wont read all of this shit.

>Will Anime Ruin Poeples Lives?
No. Addiction ruin people lifes.

Jesus Christ those shelves are way too crowded. Why would someone cram that many small cheap figures into such a small space. Spread them out and invest in a smaller number of really nice figures. Quality looks so much better than quantity.

>>150088036
You should read 'The machine stops' by E.M Forster. Written in 1928. Dude could see the fucking future.

Maybe in 20 years we'll have synths to do all of those tedious tasks

>Will anime ruin people's lives?
No, there are people who make a living out of it(studios, animators, writers, directors, voice actors)

>mentally screw them up,?
Probably, eapecially to those who had a bad childhood life or bullied by others and other social issue can become a sad victim of this other than that, who gives any fucks about it

Hey mod why aren't you doing anything about this thread?

>>150090155
Yeah how dare people discuss anime wow

My life is already ruined even before I know anime.

>>150090173
This is not an anime thread. This is about people who watch anime. Actually it'd about OP's opinion of these people.

You people need to stop worrying about what you fucking mom and dad will think. Like what you want.

>But they pay for my stuff
And that is where you went wrong. Life is easy if you are smart.

>>150090413

2/2

Think about it? What other possible reason would there be for being that bad at writing a series?

>>150088036
>There is a difference between enjoyment and obsession
I think this is the main point. I'd like to say that in order to become obsessed with something there must be elements in one's life other than the subject of obsession, like depression, social anxiety, loneliness and so on, but I must admit that the Internet and technology have made it easier to fall down this hole. I think in this day and age it's up to the parents to give their children a proper upbringing, which should also include encouraging them to go out and make friends instead of spending most of their time in their room.
I guess you could say the Internet is a blessing and a curse, it's much easier to get what we want, but there's also the risk of ending up swallowed by it.

One thing I don't agree with is the spending part. If you spend half of your monthly income on figures, anime and manga you have a problem, but there's nothing wrong with buying those things in moderation, though maybe that was not your point.

On a side note, this is an interesting thread but judging by the current state of /a/ it will probably get deleted.

>>150088036
Blaming unhealthy choices on anime is stupid. You could be obsessed with and spend tons of money on literally anything.

>>150090428
I hate this self-hating attitude.

>>150090551
I dont hate myself, I hate most anime fans.

>>150088036
Bump for (great) interest.

I'll chime in later today after I'm done with work.
