You sound like you're talking about yourself. I cannot understand any other reason you'd be this vitriolic to someone just openly loving a series and a character. This is like....extreme and irrational hate towards someone for something that's super-normal, to the point where it's obviously something personal for you--and that's nobody else's responsibility but your own. For someone insisting other people need therapy, it sure as hell sounds like you could use your own advice.

If you don't want to deal with that though, just go back to arguing who's stronger in One Piece. There's a Netflix series out, I'm sure you can get a good few months of complaining out of that.

Gosh you seem sad. Good fucking luck, I guess, I hope someone shows you compassion so you know what it feels like and can maybe make enough friends to fill all the time you're spending on here every day of your life, fighting over which drawing punches better.

🤣🤣 you're barely in this sub, and you choose this buried comment out of dozens to reply to? What, did you finally find someone who'll talk to you sweetie? Tough shit, blocking. But yeah. If you see a dress freeze-fried around massive hips, an hourglass waist, and clear tits on a character posed in a sexy way, and your first thought is "that's a child," you need to question WHY your immediate reaction is to think about kids. I don't know about you, but "sexy" and "children" don't exist in the same part of my brain 🤷

dude you just met up with shitty fucking people, I don't know what to tell you. I've been into anime for most of my life, as have all of my friends, and we all have collections WAY bigger than this with extremely normal lives, nice homes, jobs, degrees, and really long-lasting, healthy, stable relationships. And what you're describing is just...the exact same thing I've heard from basically anyone who's lived in a frat house.

You got extremely unlucky. That sucks, but don't be shitty to other people for the rest of your life because you drew the short stick once. As it stands now you hated those guys so much you ended up becoming them--or at least, to anyone online, there's zero difference between you and them. Don't be that fucking guy man

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ dude I have been in anime circles from my preteens into my adult life. Almost of the fans I've ever interacted with, online or in real life, with the exception of this single subreddit, have been nice, kind, enthusiastic, and lovely. They also have extensive collections that are much larger than this. A lot of them are also into niche NSFW things--as are pretty much all adult human beings if they feel sexual desire.

You don't have an issue with nerds. What you have issue with is straight cisgender men who have been crippled by a society that tells them the only big emotion they're allowed to express is anger and they need to be ashamed of literally every single other part of themselves...

...and the subsequent lashing out at real, actual people by trying to police everyone else's behavior/expression so they can feel like they're controlling someone else instead. Which is exactly what you're doing right now.

Literally nothing matters in fandom except being not being a dick to other flesh-and-blood people. That is the only rule. Everything else is preference, and it's nobody's responsibility but your own to cater your own fandom experience. All you're doing right now is demanding other people like a series the way that you like it and being a supreme asshole towards them when they don't do that.

This is normal fan behavior, regardless of what kind of fan they are. It's actually a bit weird if they don't have some kind of collection and still say they're really into anime--it comes with the territory. The collecting part has zero to do with people who just hate other people. Wonderful, lovely people who aren't incels also have massive collections (and in my experience, over and over and over and OVER again, if they're anything else but straight cis conservative guys they tend to have collections that are so large you need hours to go through them). If they weren't into anime, they would STILL hate everyone else. They'd just express it through whatever hobby they fell into. You're trying to cure cancer by saying no one should ever be bald. It doesn't make sense, it won't work, and you're going to make everything worse by continuing to insist you're right because you're ignoring the cause.

You want men to start socializing and making friends?

DON'T FUCKING MAKE FUN OF THEM WHEN THEY'RE OPEN ABOUT SOMETHING THEY LOVE. If you're GOING to make fun of them, then rip them to absolute fucking shreds when they're assholes to other people for no fucking reason. They could use a taste of their own medicine.

You need to take several dozen steps back and seriously examine where your own hang-ups are before you even BEGIN to think about giving anyone else advice.

I'm not responding. You're being a judgemental piece of shit and you became what you hate, and now you're taking it out on everyone else who had a better experience than you. It's pathetic and depressing. Get better.

-_- if you look at that wall scroll and your first thought is about a child, that says significantly more about you than anyone else.

Let's try a little thought experiment. One person is well-adjusted enough to hold down a job while going to school, is challenging themselves by making art and continuing to improve, has such a stable life with enough disposable income that they can buy several pieces of merch from a series they like, and is confident enough in the person they are to post about it despite getting ridiculed.

Another person spends several hours a day on Reddit arguing with strangers about which fake boys are stronger, insulting them when they disagree.

If you asked anyone to who the neckbeard with bad hygiene and no social skills was, I can guarantee what their answer would be. Big hint--it's not the first one.

Check yourself.

Do you actually think people with big collections don't talk to anyone XD Past a certain size, it's literally impossible to be a collector if you aren't networking or at LEAST traveling to different areas to find things. There are entire conventions devoted to it in some cases. People will go to cons for swaps/meet ups/exclusives/so on, where they...wait for it....

Talk with other people and make friends XD how much of a shut in are you that you don't know that???

The entitlement is the same either way 🤷 Demanding everyone has to be a fan in the exact same way you would be and express it in the exact same way. I'm sure they'd get along even if was two groups (but I'm also sure it's really not 🙂)

Edit to add... Why the fuck are you separating them like one isn't as bad XD all the trash goes in one pile. Weird place to choose to be pedantic
