These are worse than the filthy basement goon lairs. Why and how do they always manage to cover every single surface of the room with anime?

Funny enough, your avatar is the best description of the feeling I get when I see these weaboo hellholes. It gets brought up every page or so, but how the gently caress do they afford this? poo poo's expensive, and as best I can reckon, these people don't function normally enough to make a decent living. :psypop:

Yeah. I can understand having a poster of your weird anime/paedo fetish. But covering every available inch of visible space with underage manga porn is a time consuming, expensive task.

Also, does it matter which poster goes where? I.E. when obsessively pasting up the pictures, do they give thought to putting the Yuri picture above the bed, and the Momoko picture to the right of the computer etc.?

The best way to redecorate that is to toss a molotov in and sweep up whatever the fire doesn't purge.

At the risk of bringing up the disability cheque debate from last page: a lot of these people get money from parents or the government then proceed to spend it all on anime poo poo and live off of gas station hotdogs when they do decide to take a break from WoW to eat. I also doubt the disability of a lot of them.

That disability cheque only goes so far. The next step in funding a goon lair is to gently caress over the people and businesses that you owe many.

A few years ago I moved into a house with two other guys. One of them had long ago insisted on managing the household cable/internet package. He would sign up for service and get discounted rates and extra channels as a new customer. When that was gone he would angrily call customer service with an invented complaint and get a couple months free. When that didn't work anymore he would just stop paying the bill (without telling us and while pocketing our contribution). A few months later our cable would be disconnected and he would become a new customer with a different company, starting the cycle again. We have three cable companies in our area so he managed to do this for years. I'm sure he would have moved to satellite next if our landlord had allowed dishes. He did something similar with our landlord, falling a few months behind on rent, then becoming a new man who had just enough to avoid eviction and was resolved to pay back what he owed, and then falling behind again and eventually moving out owing several months rent.

This is a man in his fifties. I'm sure he has terrible credit and is blacklisted by every utility in the area. He's going to spend the rest of his life being roommates with random guys but it's all worth it so he can afford the weed and collectible knives he loves so much.

Working at an insurance company call center for a few summers during college I was continually surprised by the calls we would get from the mothers of men in their 50s and 60s trying to sort out their kids insurance. Manchild knows no age. If you're pulling this kind of garbage in your 20s it's not as if you magically grow out of it.

Let's use science and find out! Someone should rearrange it all and watch what happens.

An N95 full face respirator, surgical grade nitrile gloves, fuzzy booties, and a tote of NaClO should be enough ppe.

13- another poster of a WWII Japanese battleship turned into a teenage girl as military fetishism collapses in on itself.
14- Tofu cubes and guacamolewasabi, probably from the university cafeteria.
15- A sippy cup :stare:.
16- The faint sound of veterans, both Axis and Allied, rolling over in their graves.
17- Kindling.
18- Textbook bought with student loans paid for by a father who asks the mirror every morning where the hell he went wrong.

Has science discovered why so many otaku fetishize the Third Reich (or, at least, the Third Reich as they understand it)? I just can't help but think what would happen to them in the actual Third Reich. :ohdear:

Nerds love fascism, they were allied in WWII, and I guess it's more acceptable than Japanese miltarism/makes a good dogwhistle.

Psychologists must be having a field day analyzing how you go from some psychosexual view of your military hardware to fetishizing the hardware itself and anthropomorphizing it. Is it something uniquely Japanese? They've done it before with fighter planes, but I don't know if anyone else does it.

I don't get the nerds love fascism thing. It might be chicken/egg, but isn't creepy anime being made with girls in nazi uniforms the better start point? I'm sure there are some 1488 basement dwellers out there, but... Maybe I'm just too normal to comprehend how a westerner, let alone a group of people who had nuclear weapons dropped on them, want anything to do with the losing side of the Second World War.

Japanese youth are not taught about WWII, certainly not like how the Germans teach the later generations. It's seen as a huge embarrassment rather than a mistake that can never happen again. You would be very surprised how little Japanese under 35 know about that period in their history.

e. Wait, I think I'm misunderstanding the conversation. Are we talking about western facists or Japanese Nazis?

"Miserable white boys" is the recruitment base for both neo-nazis and creepy pedo anime. Besides, if you ever see what happens whenever someone says "there should be more black people in video games" you'll notice there's a lot of pent-up racism in the nerd community. See also; the surprisingly large number of edgy crypto-fascist objectivists who like to babble off about the right of the strong and strict meritocracy despite living in their parents' basement and doing nothing but smoke weed all day.

As for Japan, their problem is that instead of going for Germany's "NEVER AGAIN" approach, they've just been trying to pretend it never happened or, worst case scenario, actively glorify historical Japanese imperialism. History lessons leave out or gloss over the atrocities committed by Japanese and German troops, often painting Japan as a victim. It's no wonder Japanese fetish artists don't understand the implications of stamping swastikas on moeblobs when even adult Europeans who have been bombarded with the message that Nazis are lower than cockroaches for as long as they've had ears to hear the it sometimes get it into their heads that it would be a funny idea to wear an SS uniform to a costume party.
