Quote HistoryQuoted: Sample size of 2. But 2 coworkers are all in about anime. And yes, they are 2 weird mother fuckers. No matter how much you tell them you aren't interested in the least, they are trying to show some anime clip to you. Finally had to tell one of them that the weird pseudo pedo crap wasn't my style. I like to look at real tits. He finally stopped. Yeah, the biggest percentage of the anime fans are weird as fuck. At the end of the day anyone who forcibly brings any topic/hobby/interest repeatedly to those who have stated they don't want to talk about it are weirdos, regardless of said topic/hobby/interest. Wait until you hear about food truck fanatics. It's a great way to practice your excuses of how to get out of conversations. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I skipped through the video. Wasn't so much about the anime... Can anyone time stamp what shows he was into. After watching all of it, OP picked out a tiny and in my opinion inconsequential part of the story. The story could certainly be thread worthy here on arfcom, but I think the thread title is misleading. I certainly have my own views about anime which are not generally positive, but now knowing the story, in this case, I don't think it had anything to do with anything. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just got done watching the whole thing. It's certainly a screwed up story, but the topic of anime is in the 53 minute video for about 7 seconds. He mentions it in a list of things that he enjoys along with video games with his brother. Neither anime or video games seemed to be a super serious interest of his and I gathered were not the cause of any of it. He mentioned the word as if someone might mention a light hobby. "I like to golf" or whatever. The detective asked him what anime is, he explained it as "Japanese cartoons", and then the video/documentry moved on never to return to the topic.

The "virtual" part, referees to their communication method due to physical distance. This story is most certainly about a girl, but she is not a cartoon. Virtual girlfriend meaning not a real girlfriend. Did you think it meant an actual anime, cartoon like ai girlfriend? |

Unconfirmed but probably had wifu stickers on car. The anime didn't do it anymore than guns shoot people or booze makes you kill people in driving accidents. -------- And yes, a noticeable amount of mainstream anime is reallly screwed up. Some is also great. The middle is ... well ... there. ------- People attracted to anime tend to be fringe-y here in the states, classically. Because a good bit of anime is, by american standards, fringe-y and just weird (not weird good, just weird). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Imagine being an alleged adult in 2023 and still being so gleefully ignorant that you think anime is just "a thing for weird pedo loosers(sic)" without realizing the massive amount of different genres, styles and media it encompasses and never having enjoyed series like Robotech or movies like Porco Rosso... ?? I find a lot of it childish…but Cowboy bebop, I revisited it after going through so much shit in my life over the last few years, and noticed some really serious things it addresses, like past trauma/memories. It just has a good story. Another thing I learned about it after listening to a French Whisperer show on Buddhism is that you find certain concepts of Buddhism within it, like an endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth into a world of suffering. |

I certainly have my own views about anime which are not generally positive, but now knowing the story, in this case, I don't think it had anything to do with anything. I agree. Also watched the whole thing just to understand better how the psychos' minds operate. Anyway, based on the interview, it does not look like anime is the focus here. It's a loser that was spoiled rotten by the mother (and the father and brother's partial complicity) and apparently believed that he had a serious relationship with some who're on the other side of the world. His belief shows when he said he "could not simply disappear" and had to get back to her. I wonder if those girls are professionally trained to attract and keep those losers emotionally hostage and even orient them in how to take money from the family to keep their addiction going. And I also wonder how many of them are also hostage of some human sex trafficking organization. This whole situation is fucked up and even that clinic the parents sent him to has some guilt for such a blatantly failed diagnosis. |
