Probably in the attractive face and shapely body part, you know, where "hot" would normally describe.

No one cares, we all want to motorboat her titties, I don't care if she's doing a one-woman version of a My Little Pony episode when I do it, I just want to motorboat those titties.

The thing that confuses me that if they were porcelain dolls or horses or some poo poo, people would be crawling over themselves to call her nuts. What is it about this behavior with anime poo poo that makes people more forgiving?

There's a guy in the headphone thread asking for recommendations. Someone notices his Gabe Newell poster and asks about it, so he posts his whole room.



Dear lord if he's buying the headphones I think he is I hope he takes better care of it than this. :what: Kudos to everyone in the headphone thread for not instantly derailing and making fun of him though! Let's make fun of him here.

I'm not seeing anything too terrible here, it has a floor you can see and everything! I have slept in much worse rooms than that. Maybe I am just desensitised to this now though after the other things I've seen in this thread... things that can never be forgotten :smith:

It's kinda messy (assuming that bottle is filled with Orange juice), but it's not that bad. If I go a few days without picking stuff up, my room starts to look like that.

Hard to tell, you can still get old Coke bottles like that if you go to certain areas that have a lot of Hispanic stores. A few Walmarts and Hy-Vee stores in my area still have bottled Coke imported from Mexico, the glass bottles look identical to those ones.

Mexican coke is fairly popular around here. It's made with sugar cane (or at least it used to be) and there's something a bit different about the formulation that makes it taste sweeter and better. You can get it at any of those little Mexican groceries around here pretty easily.

A guided tour of that otaku girl's room.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lgGjXZoIZw

The strangest thing about that video is the almost complete lack of enthusiasm the girl displayed when she was touring around her room. You'd think that someone with such a huge collection would be eager to explain exactly what every thing was and how rare / valuable / awesome they are but she was just standing there going, 'these are some figures... some books... some more figures' :geno:

I swear there was a point about halfway through the video (when she got to the books and DVDs) where the self-awareness cortex of her brain kicked in and started going 'look at this, look at what your life has become. How much money have you spent on all this junk for what purpose?' and she almost became embarrased and just sort of glossed-over the rest of her collection.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I always assumed these otaku nerds would relish any opportunity to sperg about their collections, even if it is just to a camera. I guess for some of them it just becomes a compulsion like any other hoarding behaviour amd even if they seem vaguely normal and have a clean room at the end of the day they're still slaves to their horde of soulless, dead-eyed plastic waifus.

That's because for collectors the best part of collecting is actually finding and getting The Thing. Once they have The Thing and the novelty wears off it becomes much less interesting and they have to get a New Thing to get that high again. My dad's like that about rock collecting. Replace all that anime junk with minerals and fossils and meteorites and you have his living room. So her lack of enthusiasm for everything but her more recent collectibles makes sense to me.

I hadn't thought about that aspect of it. I'm a giant sperg about a few things (vinyl, antique lithographs, old cyberpunk books) but the stuff I'm collecting comes from a shallow pool and I can only afford to buy a few pieces a year so I love sperging about everything in my (small) collections because it's all important to me. I guess if you collect anime figurines and have literally hundreds of the same character while there are still thousands of variants you don't have then each one becomes less important as a single entity and more about being part of the overall horde.
