america is brainwashing americans

It’s warping minds, no question. Young men beating off to cartoon chicks with tails and animal ears is pretty f’d up. Good luck to the chicks attempting to make a family with them some day. “Should I be a fox, or a cat tonight dear?”🤮

I have two boys (19 and 21) and they aren't into Anime.

Immature people watch it.

Good, then you’ve done a great job.

🙂

Wait so anime=hentai?

Hentai is a sub-genre of anime.

Like one is better than the other. Both are distorting sexuality.

That's hentai, don't generalise and say all anime.

Hah, you haven't met the young women wearing tails and cat ears with bikinis then?

I'm furry-averse, but made an earnest effort at an anime convention to learn what makes furries tick. The guy I talked to while we were walking back to the same hotel basically said that he had a hard time making friends, but had plenty of disposable income (being single and having no social life will do that). He seemed happy, but the whole thing to me was sad. I was thinking to myself that if you had all that disposable income, but wanted to attract women, you could have bought a really nice sports car for the amount of money he's spent on the outfits he has. A really nice sports car might give him the boost in popularity to really begin to develop broader relationships.

I don't watch Anime and I'm American.

Nobody I know is into it.

You just made a post about how it is bad. Then you tell me I need to hang around people that watch it????

I'm 50 and know plenty of people.

Well there's your problem. You're old! j/k

I know some people your age that watch anime. Those people have problems and some of them I question their motives. Specifically those people, not all people your age that watch anime.

I think when you get to a certain age and still exhibit addictive behavior to entertainment, especially entertainment aimed at people 1/3 your age, then there's a problem. There's arrested development, and imo, it's a clear sign that your life itself is in decline.

The day you stop learning new things is the day you start to die.

Yes, I agree with you. And I love your last sentence - The day you stop learning new things is the day you start to die. I think that is very true!

But you can't say that people all across the world are addicted to it

Agreed wholeheartedly. I can't say that because it's not true. Post solved.

sounds like somebody is spending too much time on r/justneckbeardthings.

you do speak english right..?

i thought the same thing till i started looking into it, if your into the arts you’ll probably enjoy it if not you wont understand. Theres animes for different kinds of people. I personally enjoy ones with a great art style that also get deep into a characters head like is a real human experiencing things. I personally enjoy ones like that because you can connect to them more and it can capture certain feelings and atmospheres that are hard to pull off in live action films, but there are alot of really dumb immature ones out there for sure

DMT is a hell of a void.

Pizza, pizza!

yes but not to remake the empire of japan

Why does Japan need to invade. Seems more like they're going for a cultural victory. I mean, just look at what they've done to All-American girl-next-door Kirsten Dunst.

America controls Japan to a large extent.

I've been watching too much anime for far too long. The repeating theme in anime is that the US is the aggressor. When I started watching anime, I didn't understand this too well. After a while, when you start digging into the cultural history of Japan, you see that anime is still largely used to tell the story of how Japan changed after we nuked them.

They are telling these stories to remind the Japanese. That we happen to like things that explode and bleed just means we're a ripe market.

Im barely on episode 20 of One Piece.

Wat?

Removed. Rule 12.

I agree with this so much like I used to know this one kid at my school we was just your average Joe, but one day he started watching anime and the change was near instance. He no longer cared what he looked liked or how he dressed, and worst of all after school he would always run home with his arms straight pointing back. The more he watched the less human he became and one day it happened. He arrived to school with a shirt that had what appeared to be one of those anime girls on it. The last I heard of him he spend his days with this thing he keeps calling his "Waifu" and the talk of the town is all he buys is ramen and a bunch of socks.
