Drug problems are usually more of a sign that the situation is bad, rather than the cause of it.
Drugs mean people REALLY can't stand their lot in life.
And if your society generally feels that way, you're in trouble.
Why is it always dumb nitpicks like this? Not the ever-increasing wealth gap or the planet being fricked, the blame is on cartoons or video games or trannies
These things continue to exist because young people are too preoccupied with videogames and cartoons.
Back in the year 1000 there was frick all to do except work, sleep, pray and drink. So after work, the men gathered together in pubs to have fun and socialize.
They were deeply involved in their community because they actually talked to their colleagues and neighbors. So if something was up they would make plans to take care of it right then and there.
Nowadays young people don't wanna have frick all to do with their environment.
Breakfast with family? No, cartoons and cereal on the couch.
Hang out with colleagues after work? Frick no, they're not my friends, we see each other at work and that's it.
Friends? Eeh, I had a busy day, don't wanna talk to anyone, just go straight home and play some games.
Strangers on the train/bus? Don't even make goddamn eye contact, they might start talking to me. Just keep your eyes on your phone.
So many young people just go to work, go back home, sleep and repeat, and want nothing to do with the people around them.
That's why they're not going to fix any of the big issues, cause they don't want to have to talk to others and work together on how to fix them.
They'd rather just watch cartoons and play games because it's more comfortable.
Many cats are forced to be sterilized because people are unable to care nor handle cat families on the streets which die because of diseases, lack of food of poison injection
Many people do not care when they see injured animals or they castrate others
>Hang out with colleagues after work? Frick no, they're not my friends, we see each other at work and that's it.
I can barely stand those homosexuals as-is
>Back in the year 1000 there was frick all to do except work, sleep, pray and drink
Holy shit, please be b8, no way somebody can look back to a time before the Magna Carta and think "ah yes, those were the good old days"
What if I don't want to socialize? What if I get exhausted around other people quickly and don't want more than a few friends? Am I just defective and should get killed? Well no wonder people like me wouldn't like it in your perfect world.
In Japan you're often forced to go drinking with your co-workers to build a bond, and it's frowned upon to leave before everyone else has finished work.
Since they're forced to socialise, would you say they're doing better, or worse, anon?
I don't think this is media's fault at all, I think there is a slew of things all going wrong and trying to point at any one thing just distracts from the bigger issue. The kids who have become adults are poorer than their parents and grand parents (the first in a long time to do so), under a crippling debt from an education they're practically forced to get in order to get a good job, lack of any good job prospects despite this, unable to buy a home, many having no romantic or familial attachments. It's all fricked.
So it's no surprise these people are sticking to a sort of youth, and desperately trying to ignore their problems.
>Strangers on the train/bus? Don't even make goddamn eye contact, they might start talking to me. Just keep your eyes on your phone.
There has never been a time when most people wanted to talk to strangers on the train/bus.
I think the funniest bit is how Cinemaphile and /misc/ never reach the conclusion that today's obsession with comic and cartoon materialism is merely soft-normalization of compulsive hoarding behavior
What obsession? You're barking at a strawman. You can still be obsessed over cartoons and anime without buying any of the merch, as a good chunk of people here probably are. The problem is lack of genuine connection with people and escapism. Buying shit is just one of the MANY ways people compensate for it, not the core of the issue.
Anon, I have never bought a single piece of merch in my life. By your logic, I should be incredibly well-off and mentally healthy, but I am fricking not. The insecurities, the loneliness, the disconnect from others, it's all still there.
people like panel 4 are the reason i stopped collecting. once women and normies started getting into it for e-points, it made me reevaluate my life choices--especially since they gutted the stuff i liked to fill it with progressive trash.
So true, and it shows how out of touch their ass is when it comes to their demo.
most people only put as much effort into knowing about something as much as they care about it.
Moms know nintendo is a game company, but dont usually care enough to learn anything beyond that, therefore, everything is a nintendo, or a mario game. Probably cause she played mario once or twice when she was like 7
Yeah, but it coulda lasted longer if Level-5 didn't try to milk the franchise super hard by having a bajillion new entries to the series in such a short timeframe.
You had- >YW1 >two versions of YW2 >the combined single version of YW2 >two versions of YW blasters >YW3 >four F2P mobile games that were also pay-to-win >all in the span of like three years
Basically Level-5 oversaturated their market.
Not to mention that the localizations took forever so we wouldn't get the games in the west until years later, except for the recent Yo-kai Watch 4 which never came to the west cuz their localization department in America shut down due to not being able to keep it funded because Nintendo used to do the localizations before Level-5 decided they wanted YW4 to go multiplat.
And then there's the bajillion spinoffs they made that went nowhere cuz they had no idea where the wanted to take the franchise and it alienated a lot of their audiences, and then they tried to go back to basics after that.
Just a whole lot of shit and bad decisions everywhere.

Maybe. I wound up packing a good chunk of my star wars collection away in the garage. It pisses me off to this day, because I remember star wars going from a fandom of nerds by nerds to fricking jimmy kimmel and his ilk saying shit like, "oh, it's just a story, anyone can edit it however they want--there's no canon outside the movies, frick the sweu stop gatekeeping!" to "oh, remember how we said sweu can go frick itself? well we're taking part of that back so we can defend having a black stormtrooper. if you don't like our hypocrisy, you're not a true fan of star wars." in all honesty I wasn't pissed off about finn being black, but the massive levels of hypocrisy and disregard for the actual star wars canon the incessant parroting of hollywood talking points by moronic normalgays who knew nothing about star wars really pissed me off. not to mention all the star wars projects that got killed off by the disney buy out like star wars 1313 and the fact that we had literally risen to the level of cult status. all disney had to do was sit back, do nothing and collect massive royalties. how do you frick something up that bad?
What was the RedLetterMedia quote? "How does it feel to live long enough for everything you love turn to trash"? Little is sacred Anon, just accept it and move onto the next thing you can get passionate about.
It does frustrate me though, that pieces of media that once would have made someone a loser, are now held up as "cool" by the mainstream and is being ruined by them. I remember having to defend liking cartoons in highschool, and now a few short years later you have OP's image as the mainstream opinion for it.

I recommend you focus that passion on math and physics. You probably won't get famous or discover anything new, but you can learn a lot, the history and lore is super deep, and best of all, it has repelled normalgays for thousands of years. Schools actually spend a decade or more trying to get normalgays interested in math and they can't do it. It's the safest hobby in the world.
>starwars >a fandom of nerds by nerds
dude star wars was mainstream normie garbage since day one, if you want to feel like an elite nerd about something you could at least gone with dune or foundation at the bare minimum, starwars was always a comercial product for the average american masses
Starwars was dead and forgotten for the 80 and 90's, younger people can't even conceptualize how much of a nerd shit it was in the 90's, you'd literally keep it a secret if you liked it. The "new" trilogy was also more of a "new good old bad" deal for a while, it really too the 2010's and Disney buying it to push it back on front of the scene, with so many cringy revisionism around it, that no funko collector will ever fact-check.
>I wound up packing a good chunk of my star wars collection away in the garage. It pisses me off to this day, because I remember star wars going from a fandom of nerds by nerds

sometimes we make something progressive on purpose specifically just to make people like you uncomfortable with it. the way you worded this was super pathetic thank you
Anime are cartoons. Denial doesnt make them not the same thing.
They are the same thing yes.
But saying anime is how people refer specifically to japanese cartoons. That's like getting upset that people dont call comic books, books. OF course its a type of book, but if I said I read books you'd think I'd be reading harry potter or some shit, and not superman.
>There's no real distinction over there.
It's irrelevant because we're not "over there."
This ain't Japan.
When you use the Japanese word for cartoons, it's assumed that you're referring to Japanese cartoons specifically.
You wouldn't call an American comic book bande dessinée, would you?
They don't, you're just a moron and don't know the terms for Korean and Chinese cartoons.

Anime didn't ruin the minds of anyone you Western moron. Your culture and your society ruined their minds. You live in a feminist society that privileges men over women to such a degree that many of them have become lost souls because they cannot function in this society, you believe in bullshit myths generated by leftists, you have traumatized them because they live a lie. When Western society was sane, pre-1945, you didn't see any of these social ills.
Also, Westerners, especially Northern Europeans have a difficult time separating fiction from reality. I notice for example, that Northern Europeans who are mentally ill love to put political flag avatars and then try to use an anime character as some avatar for their delusional illness. The reason why you do this is likely because you cannot separate fantasy from fiction on a fundamental level. It may explain why you get so offended by fiction, you get mad that other people like fictional X, you get angry at e-girlcon as if it were CP, and why transexuals like to pretend they are anime girls. For some reason, some of you seem to understand that "GTA" isn't reality where you are actually carjacking and kiling innocent people, but now I start to wonder if you really do.

That example would never happen. A white supremacist would use statistics to justify his racism. His kids would only come in as a reason to be a white supremacist, not the reason he became one.
Because they deserve it you moron. Japan actually produced so much animation, so much of it unique and better then anything American and Westerners can make, that Westerners felt a need to designate Japanese animation with a special word to segregate it from regular Western cartoons even back in the 80s. This is the main reason why no one likes Japanese animation being called "Cartoons". It feels offensive to be compared. Silly? Well, its an attitude that comes from Westerners to begin with.
The whole world prefers Japanese animation over what the USA makes, so the word had staying power.
And although Westerners are anti-racists morons, its funny how the word "anime" is a very racial term that shows biological difference. After all, anime just means Japanese animation. It has staying power because anime is almost always made by Japanese people within Japan with Japanese preferences and desires and outlooks. What is Western animation? Barely any recent one can be considered as something made by white American males within America with white American preferences and white American desires and white American outlook. This isn't Walt Disney era, which incidentally, is where all the most renowned Western animation creation reside.
The word anime simply means it was made by Japanese people. Anime isn't a style. If we lived in a world where Japan experienced mass migration, and a bunch of mutts began moving to Japan and starting becoming involved directly with Japanese animation studios and making anime. Then it wouldn't matter if it resembled "anime", eventually, it will slowly bear no difference to Western animation and the word "anime" would be quickly abandoned as a special word that specifically refers to Japanese animation because there would be no more reason too.

What are you expecting, CNN to tell Ugandans, "stop breeding so much you filthy Black folk"? Third world countries have their own sentiments and messaging. But still, the overall goal is to have sustainable birthrates across the board. Birth rates in third-world countries *have* been dropping by increasing quality of life, availability of contraceptives, etc, it will just take longer for them to catch up to the first world.
Frick's sake, I always expect these complaints to be nuanced and about natalism as a whole but instead more people seem afraid the "wrong" kind of people are having too many kids.

Doesn't matter if the birthrates of first world nations are below replacement. We all deserve replaceable birth rates. >Frick's sake, I always expect these complaints to be nuanced and about natalism as a whole but instead more people seem afraid the "wrong" kind of people are having too many kids.

See what I mean? Some westerners really are unable to legitimately differentiate between real life and fantasy. You think fictional drawings are reality. You are offended that other people engage in fiction. This is why its clear you cannot differentiate fantasy and reality even when it comes to GTA. Because your opinion is contradictory and your reasoning makes no sense. Indeed, the fact that you're asking how GTA can cause real life harm to people suggest that even you, deep down, cannot segregate fantasy and reality because you believe that GTA has the POTENTIAL to harm people, and that GTA is still "reality", but to you its not "bad" because there is no evidence it harms people, but if it did, you would gladly accept that GTA is reality and not fiction, because you don't really believe that GTA is just a fantasy. I believe the only reason you even say that is because this is not a position you actually thought about, you are just parroting a opinion made by other people and adopting it on your own.

Keep getting butthurt about it and I'll keep doing it.
Because they deserve it you moron. Japan actually produced so much animation, so much of it unique and better then anything American and Westerners can make, that Westerners felt a need to designate Japanese animation with a special word to segregate it from regular Western cartoons even back in the 80s. This is the main reason why no one likes Japanese animation being called "Cartoons". It feels offensive to be compared. Silly? Well, its an attitude that comes from Westerners to begin with.
The whole world prefers Japanese animation over what the USA makes, so the word had staying power.
And although Westerners are anti-racists morons, its funny how the word "anime" is a very racial term that shows biological difference. After all, anime just means Japanese animation. It has staying power because anime is almost always made by Japanese people within Japan with Japanese preferences and desires and outlooks. What is Western animation? Barely any recent one can be considered as something made by white American males within America with white American preferences and white American desires and white American outlook. This isn't Walt Disney era, which incidentally, is where all the most renowned Western animation creation reside.
The word anime simply means it was made by Japanese people. Anime isn't a style. If we lived in a world where Japan experienced mass migration, and a bunch of mutts began moving to Japan and starting becoming involved directly with Japanese animation studios and making anime. Then it wouldn't matter if it resembled "anime", eventually, it will slowly bear no difference to Western animation and the word "anime" would be quickly abandoned as a special word that specifically refers to Japanese animation because there would be no more reason too.

They do, many people just dont know the word for cartoons in that language. and/or likely it hasnt caught on yet.
for example, Korean webcomics are known as Manwha. But most people don't know nearly know that as much, and thus refer to them as simply korean comics or even using (incorrectly) manga as a catch all term for "asian comic" or "comic that looks like it came out of japan"
This is a moronic analogy. Comics books are a different medium than regular books. Anime is the same medium as cartoons, the only difference is where they came from.
They are the same thing, just different target audiences and sometimes not.
If 40 cakes didn't fricking hate the comic author some might actually agree with them in this one case, like look where the frick you are.
Yes of course. Property rates, inflation, a stagnation in wages, and the high cost of living have nothing to do with it. It’s because girls like cartoons.
economic reasons have never ever stopped poor people from having children. I don't know why people keep spewing that garbage especially nowadays when there are more crutches for such situations than ever before in history
That's because you used to be able to use children as labor and you needed children for financial support. Also you had literally no direct control over it.
Nowadays they are just an enormous drain of resources.
If most people couldn't even afford an extra room for a child due to ridiculous rent costs, how will they pay for everything else a child costs them?
Moreover, the women are working now and have an actual career so long as they aren't out for years to raise children.
You saw the proverbial baby boomers right in the middle of the greatest expansion of middleclass wealth in the USA.
Guess why this just stopped when wages kept stagnating and wealth only kept flowing into the pockets of the rich?
With better wages, particularly for the lower classes and free public childcare institutions you could certainly alleviate the situation.
>Nowadays [children] are just an enormous drain of resources.
In my opinion, that attitude proves the other anon right. You're looking at children as a burden instead of enrichment. A lot of young adults these days think like you. They are choosing to spend their precious time and money on anime, collectibles, alcohol, junkfood, pets, vacations, sports, or whatever brand of hedonism they happen to be into, instead of choosing to spend their resources on their offspring. Having children requires one to be a responsible adult and sacrifice some personal comforts. People don't want to do that.
Have you heard of people who call themselves "childfree", or those who use the word "adulting"? There's some kind of a widespread Peter Pan syndrome that's been taking over. The issue seems to be linked to privileged lifestyles that make people reluctant to enter adulthood. If the hesitance to have families resulted from economical factors, then the poorest countries in the world would be having a lot more trouble having children. But their birthrates are high, while the richest countries that provide tons of safety nets for families have the lowest birthrates.
> the poorest countries in the world have high birthrates now
Have any numbers to back that up?
Also I think that might just come right back around to that other anon’s point about child labor as a workforce. That’s not an option in first world nations where the practice is illegal and parents are expected to provide for their children right up into adulthood with little to no return, and I think that may be a significant factor to consider when making a comparison.

not him but that birth rate thing is pretty common knowledge. It's been an observed trend for decades that as a country's wealth rises the birth rate typically declines. Now there are several studies and factors that try to explain why that is, but people can and have drawn different conclusions.
I think the labor thing is overstated too since you're looking at like a 4-5 year investment at a minimum before you see any kind of return and that's without factoring in the production lost from the preggo woman

The cost of having children in poorer countries is relatively lower. For better or for worse, people in more developed countries want higher standards for their children(dietary needs, daycare,

mentioned an "extra room" for a child, as if you couldn't just cram a whole family in one room and still manage, etc). That's just one factor to why third-worlders are so prolific at churning out babies though. There's shit like >extra labor >having someone to take care of you in your old age because your country doesn't have social safety nets >lack of contraceptives but still having sex anyways >culture/religion that emphasizes having kids or contributing to a legacy
You say it's selfish to forego having children when the argument could just as easily be turned on its head when people have them for the purpose of security or pleasure or whatever. Personally speaking, I could not bring a life into this world in good conscience when it seems like things are only getting worse. Children deserve more than to live in the mess their forebears made.
>everyone can't afford the stupidly high costs of raising a child because they're all r/childfree redditors
how are you even supposed to raise the child you created when both parents working is a necessity for a majority of families? How "enriching" is it for either you or the child to spend their entire youth in daycares, public schools and afterschool programs instead of with their mom/dad? How do you bond with someone you never get to see because you're too busy slaving away to some corporation, knowing that the same exact fate awaits your children. But sure, we should all take notes from 3rd-world shitholes because despite the exuberant amounts of poverty, crime, famine, and other poor living conditions, they're producing enough offspring to fuel the cycle

The destruction of single-income homes started when women were allowed fully into the workplace, which I don't disagree with.

Yes but there's a huge gulf between depressed birthrates and "everyone stop making babies voluntarily live out Children of Men".

Yeah seems about right. People often try to make up for things they didn't/couldn't have as part of their childhoods. The problem lies in learning when to let go
It's amazing how anime has completely rotted the brains of so many people under 30. If it weren't for the fact that it ruined Japan's youth as well, I'd swear its existence was revenge for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I always thought it was the other way around. Nobody who ends up obsessed with children's media was going to be a productive human anyways, so it's better to have them rot in their rooms instead of attacking people on the subway or w/e
Anime didn't ruin the minds of anyone you Western moron. Your culture and your society ruined their minds. You live in a feminist society that privileges men over women to such a degree that many of them have become lost souls because they cannot function in this society, you believe in bullshit myths generated by leftists, you have traumatized them because they live a lie. When Western society was sane, pre-1945, you didn't see any of these social ills.
Also, Westerners, especially Northern Europeans have a difficult time separating fiction from reality. I notice for example, that Northern Europeans who are mentally ill love to put political flag avatars and then try to use an anime character as some avatar for their delusional illness. The reason why you do this is likely because you cannot separate fantasy from fiction on a fundamental level. It may explain why you get so offended by fiction, you get mad that other people like fictional X, you get angry at e-girlcon as if it were CP, and why transexuals like to pretend they are anime girls. For some reason, some of you seem to understand that "GTA" isn't reality where you are actually carjacking and kiling innocent people, but now I start to wonder if you really do.

is LE BAD >>she's not ainme >>IT DOESN'T COUN'T >>ALSO I CHANGED MY POINT
Never said this, moron, the Miku article was my first post in that reply chain. I was posting that because that guy (or you if you're him) was making a point about westerners not separating fiction from reality. You came up with a whole argument to fight on your own because you're moronic. He had already made the switch away from cartoons to talk about fricking video games anyway.
>especially Northern Europeans have a difficult time separating fiction from reality. I notice for example, that Northern Europeans who are mentally ill love to put political flag avatars and then try to use an anime character as some avatar for their delusional illness
It's because of Protestantism. That's what sola scriptura does to a mf.
>all these toys in your room
The kid looks like she’s eight. Her mother would have had to have been the one to actually buy half those toys. I don’t understand parents that are like this.
You would be surprised how many parents just throw away hundreds of dollars of toys they bought just a year ago. I remember when I worked at a supermarket the owner of the franchise would bring over big toys for us to throw in the compactor. It'd be giant dollhouses, sleds, bikes, etc.
1 older but she was mainly into horses but quickly got into boy bands around 14 and became tomboyish Mother mainly used her as a excuse to not seem to weird when buying a lot of dolls.
I don't get this comic, she's suggesting certain animes are childish when they are not exactly that, calling an anime full of adult situations "childish" can be harmful for actual children who watch the episodes of something they're too young. And frick her, I still watch cartoon media even the ones that you might say are fro children and I don't have to parade that, they just want attention and feel special. All they do is to embarrass themselves by buying all the merchandise instead of something actually cool.
>calling an anime full of adult situations "childish" can be harmful for actual children who watch the episodes of something they're too young
Lol
Anon, just because an anime has "adult situations" (by American standards) doesn't mean it's not suitable for children.
I watched a lot of classic 90's anime in my youth so I saw Roshi see Bulma's vegana and bleed red, yeah uncensored (Latin America moment) and I'm fine. But if my parents were paying more attention they wouldn't have let me do so. It's complicated but if I'm fine and not a pervert (take my word for it) then kids are fine,
I mean, European movies from the 70s were like super liberal with having people run around naked in non-sexual context.
And I certainly ended up a pervert. But I'm German so the chances are like 50/50 to begin with.
Sure buddy. Latin America's sex drive is 5x more than the US'. If you hadn't had sex by 13, you're a social outcast. Of course uncensored Dragon Ball was fine for their children. It prepared them for life in Latin America.
>mom and dad are in their 60's >always complain about how computers are this "complicated new technology!" and "whys it all have to be so hard!" >can barely send emails or type a letter >meanwhile "modern" computers have been around for at least 40 years now >my grandfather, who was my dads father fricking loved technology and computers, and even had a PS1 with games like Gradius
People who actively choose not to learn will consider things hard. It is weird how many older people can't use a computer when computers have been around since the 50s/60s but can use a smartphone just fine.
Not that weird, smart phones are geared to the most casual users. Its why you have that meme about Gen Z not knowing how to use a computer or do basic computer things like torrenting.
Long ago they wanted people to attach too much to brands, however they did not saw the enter in the industries of those that will hurt old fans by completely changing the series they loved into what they never wanted them to turn into like degen.politics for example
Newer generations are more driven by hype, memes, dopamines and driven stringed heroic morality, they do not attach themselves to brands but rather to participate in things and laughs once they see characters gutting humiliated or cucked for example, there won't be series that will be well remembered nor concepts like honour, true justice, etc. all glossed over by irony
Burgers never gave a shit about anime until dbz, also it stopped being good after the early 2000's, movies were already under hollywood and soon after would be followed by comics and vidya
I'm involved in the industry in some nightmarish ways. Given all that, I'm not all that interested in cartoons. Would've naturally grown out of it years ago if it didn't show my soul trapped in infinite backrooms every 3 seasons or so.
these are the same people who are also socialism advocates because they think it will produce a society that will allow them to live their indulgent childhood forever
What's the difference? That Japan spews out more mediocre shit than the US? That cartoons from Nippon can be senselessly violent without it being a shitty comedy? whether you browse Cinemaphile or you browse Cinemaphile you are moronic anyway, weebs are just more moronic because almost their entire culture is rooted on the internet and I doubt the opposite is false (that westaboos aren't more moronic than weebs in Japan).
Tell me, oh wise anon, what would you refer to a bunch of insane people arguing about pointless bullshit and accusing one another of wanting the downfall of another society?
parents dont know what anime is its like nintendo
Shut up and go back to playing on your Nintendo.
The downfall of civilization.
Bring to you by Women rights, we fricked Rome, the USSR, and now the American empire
I think the alcohol and drug issues we have matters more than some autist designing their room in such a freakish way.
Drug problems are usually more of a sign that the situation is bad, rather than the cause of it.
Drugs mean people REALLY can't stand their lot in life.
And if your society generally feels that way, you're in trouble.
Why is it always dumb nitpicks like this? Not the ever-increasing wealth gap or the planet being fricked, the blame is on cartoons or video games or trannies
Consumerism and for trannies well… you know
No, I don't know. Explain how is that worse than overpopulation and global warming.
These things continue to exist because young people are too preoccupied with videogames and cartoons.
Back in the year 1000 there was frick all to do except work, sleep, pray and drink. So after work, the men gathered together in pubs to have fun and socialize.
They were deeply involved in their community because they actually talked to their colleagues and neighbors. So if something was up they would make plans to take care of it right then and there.
Nowadays young people don't wanna have frick all to do with their environment.
Breakfast with family? No, cartoons and cereal on the couch.
Hang out with colleagues after work? Frick no, they're not my friends, we see each other at work and that's it.
Friends? Eeh, I had a busy day, don't wanna talk to anyone, just go straight home and play some games.
Strangers on the train/bus? Don't even make goddamn eye contact, they might start talking to me. Just keep your eyes on your phone.
So many young people just go to work, go back home, sleep and repeat, and want nothing to do with the people around them.
That's why they're not going to fix any of the big issues, cause they don't want to have to talk to others and work together on how to fix them.
They'd rather just watch cartoons and play games because it's more comfortable.
Many cats are forced to be sterilized because people are unable to care nor handle cat families on the streets which die because of diseases, lack of food of poison injection
Many people do not care when they see injured animals or they castrate others
To be honest, it's not like a real connection has been possible for years now and it's exhausting to maintain a positive front.
>Hang out with colleagues after work? Frick no, they're not my friends, we see each other at work and that's it.
I can barely stand those homosexuals as-is
>them young people are just lazy
I hope you never have kids, I know exactly the kind of parent you'd be and I'd not wish that on my enemies.
>Back in the year 1000 there was frick all to do except work, sleep, pray and drink
Holy shit, please be b8, no way somebody can look back to a time before the Magna Carta and think "ah yes, those were the good old days"
What if I don't want to socialize? What if I get exhausted around other people quickly and don't want more than a few friends? Am I just defective and should get killed? Well no wonder people like me wouldn't like it in your perfect world.
In Japan you're often forced to go drinking with your co-workers to build a bond, and it's frowned upon to leave before everyone else has finished work.
Since they're forced to socialise, would you say they're doing better, or worse, anon?
I don't think this is media's fault at all, I think there is a slew of things all going wrong and trying to point at any one thing just distracts from the bigger issue. The kids who have become adults are poorer than their parents and grand parents (the first in a long time to do so), under a crippling debt from an education they're practically forced to get in order to get a good job, lack of any good job prospects despite this, unable to buy a home, many having no romantic or familial attachments. It's all fricked.
So it's no surprise these people are sticking to a sort of youth, and desperately trying to ignore their problems.
>Strangers on the train/bus? Don't even make goddamn eye contact, they might start talking to me. Just keep your eyes on your phone.
There has never been a time when most people wanted to talk to strangers on the train/bus.
100 years ago this would have been porcelain figurines and nobody would think anything of it.
Now every redditard thinks the shit that personally annoys them is the reason everything sucks.
bro your posting on Cinemaphile
>t. incel who thinks he's Thomas Shelby, Deadpool, Rick Sanchez etc
Actually letting in alot of other ethnics and israelites and women are the problem blame your grandpapa
I think the funniest bit is how Cinemaphile and /misc/ never reach the conclusion that today's obsession with comic and cartoon materialism is merely soft-normalization of compulsive hoarding behavior
What obsession? You're barking at a strawman. You can still be obsessed over cartoons and anime without buying any of the merch, as a good chunk of people here probably are. The problem is lack of genuine connection with people and escapism. Buying shit is just one of the MANY ways people compensate for it, not the core of the issue.
"I'm not a hoarder, I can still see my floor so I'm fine."
Anon, I have never bought a single piece of merch in my life. By your logic, I should be incredibly well-off and mentally healthy, but I am fricking not. The insecurities, the loneliness, the disconnect from others, it's all still there.
People of Cinemaphile are just coomers that jerk off to shows made for actual kids.
unironically based
frick your gay civilization
That's sad. I mean, I still collect transformers, but it's not a lifestyle. She needs help.
>all woman think
stopped reading there.
Oh sorry. Most women...
>"Most"
>"source: my ass"
So true, and it shows how out of touch their ass is when it comes to their demo.
Moids. They honestly fit the comic more than women do.
Wtf is a moid
I think it's short for "femoid".
"They come up with all this slang and wonder why they don't get laid."
It's actually the female version for when referring to men in the same vain as femoid
Commonly used on crystal café
It's so weird that moms know what Nintendo is, but not a switch or wii
most people only put as much effort into knowing about something as much as they care about it.
Moms know nintendo is a game company, but dont usually care enough to learn anything beyond that, therefore, everything is a nintendo, or a mario game. Probably cause she played mario once or twice when she was like 7
White people buy Yokai Watch merchandise?
Does she look white to you?
Le 56% american white face
Hardly anyone buys Yo-kai Watch merch anymore.
It's dead in the west and I think close to dead in Japan as well.
Level-5 fricked shit up hard.
Isn't that how these thngs usually run? Not everything is a Pokemon.
Yeah, but it coulda lasted longer if Level-5 didn't try to milk the franchise super hard by having a bajillion new entries to the series in such a short timeframe.
You had-
>YW1
>two versions of YW2
>the combined single version of YW2
>two versions of YW blasters
>YW3
>four F2P mobile games that were also pay-to-win
>all in the span of like three years
Basically Level-5 oversaturated their market.
Not to mention that the localizations took forever so we wouldn't get the games in the west until years later, except for the recent Yo-kai Watch 4 which never came to the west cuz their localization department in America shut down due to not being able to keep it funded because Nintendo used to do the localizations before Level-5 decided they wanted YW4 to go multiplat.
And then there's the bajillion spinoffs they made that went nowhere cuz they had no idea where the wanted to take the franchise and it alienated a lot of their audiences, and then they tried to go back to basics after that.
Just a whole lot of shit and bad decisions everywhere.
>yo-kai watch
This prostitute ain't all bad, I guess.
Black person homie pow
Panels 1 and 4 also work together.
people like panel 4 are the reason i stopped collecting. once women and normies started getting into it for e-points, it made me reevaluate my life choices--especially since they gutted the stuff i liked to fill it with progressive trash.
Hahaha lucky they came along I guess huh
Maybe. I wound up packing a good chunk of my star wars collection away in the garage. It pisses me off to this day, because I remember star wars going from a fandom of nerds by nerds to fricking jimmy kimmel and his ilk saying shit like, "oh, it's just a story, anyone can edit it however they want--there's no canon outside the movies, frick the sweu stop gatekeeping!" to "oh, remember how we said sweu can go frick itself? well we're taking part of that back so we can defend having a black stormtrooper. if you don't like our hypocrisy, you're not a true fan of star wars." in all honesty I wasn't pissed off about finn being black, but the massive levels of hypocrisy and disregard for the actual star wars canon the incessant parroting of hollywood talking points by moronic normalgays who knew nothing about star wars really pissed me off. not to mention all the star wars projects that got killed off by the disney buy out like star wars 1313 and the fact that we had literally risen to the level of cult status. all disney had to do was sit back, do nothing and collect massive royalties. how do you frick something up that bad?
What was the RedLetterMedia quote? "How does it feel to live long enough for everything you love turn to trash"? Little is sacred Anon, just accept it and move onto the next thing you can get passionate about.
It does frustrate me though, that pieces of media that once would have made someone a loser, are now held up as "cool" by the mainstream and is being ruined by them. I remember having to defend liking cartoons in highschool, and now a few short years later you have OP's image as the mainstream opinion for it.
I recommend you focus that passion on math and physics. You probably won't get famous or discover anything new, but you can learn a lot, the history and lore is super deep, and best of all, it has repelled normalgays for thousands of years. Schools actually spend a decade or more trying to get normalgays interested in math and they can't do it. It's the safest hobby in the world.
Huh.
Yeah, because it's doing wonders for you.
>starwars
>a fandom of nerds by nerds
dude star wars was mainstream normie garbage since day one, if you want to feel like an elite nerd about something you could at least gone with dune or foundation at the bare minimum, starwars was always a comercial product for the average american masses
>why yes, my first star wars movie was the force awakens. how could you tell?
You stupid child.
Starwars was dead and forgotten for the 80 and 90's, younger people can't even conceptualize how much of a nerd shit it was in the 90's, you'd literally keep it a secret if you liked it. The "new" trilogy was also more of a "new good old bad" deal for a while, it really too the 2010's and Disney buying it to push it back on front of the scene, with so many cringy revisionism around it, that no funko collector will ever fact-check.
>I wound up packing a good chunk of my star wars collection away in the garage. It pisses me off to this day, because I remember star wars going from a fandom of nerds by nerds
The average person has always fricking loved Star Wars
Except Freddie Mercury.
This entire rant is proof of why gatekeeping is important, especially in current year. God forbid normies ever become the majority here.
Latin America got all the animes the US never did, you know Koni-Chan? Well it aired here, so by nature most Latin Americans are weebs.
How is this reply even relevant. >>>Cinemaphile is that way you fricking weeb.
isn't this whole thread anime, I mean, the comic mentions anime as cartoons but still is anime
Only the sith have opinions
Join the normie side Anon
sometimes we make something progressive on purpose specifically just to make people like you uncomfortable with it. the way you worded this was super pathetic thank you
Anime are cartoons. Denial doesnt make them not the same thing.
How is anime not a cartoon? The only difference between Shitto no Idakai and Brown Lesbian Adventure is the artistyle
They are the same thing yes.
But saying anime is how people refer specifically to japanese cartoons. That's like getting upset that people dont call comic books, books. OF course its a type of book, but if I said I read books you'd think I'd be reading harry potter or some shit, and not superman.
Anime is just the Japanese word for it. There's no real distinction over there.
>There's no real distinction over there.
It's irrelevant because we're not "over there."
This ain't Japan.
When you use the Japanese word for cartoons, it's assumed that you're referring to Japanese cartoons specifically.
You wouldn't call an American comic book bande dessinée, would you?
>You wouldn't call an American comic book bande dessinée, would you?
I will now.
Why does only Japan get a unique title for their animated works and not any other country?
They don't, you're just a moron and don't know the terms for Korean and Chinese cartoons.
Allow me to educate you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Aeni&redirect=yes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donghua
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_animation
No one cares about Chinese animation. Of course it won't have it's own unique monicure in English.
But it does, because the unique moniker is just the Chinese word for animation, just like Japan's unique moniker is just the Japanese word for animation and Korea's unique moniker is just the Korean word for animation.
But for some reason Americans get super butthurt when people use these words instead of calling them cartoons, because Americans are narcissists and think everything needs to revolve around them and their language.
Shut the frick up, weeb. You are just watching cartoons made in Japan, Korea and China. That's all they are. You said so yourself. Is anime not the literal word for animation in Japanese.
I'll continue to call them anime, aeni, and donghua just because I know it pisses you dumbfrick American and Anglo c**ts off.
>American and Anglo c**ts
Let me guess, you're a Latin American frick with too much pride in watching cartoons where they squeal and gasp in Japanese and where the teenage girls have upskirt shots and massive breasts. Anime. Is. Japanese. Cartoons. Cope.
I'm black actually.
And yes, I love cute teenage upskirt shots and massive breasts, thanks for noticing.
>black
American Black, right? The only group who calls themselves black in the African diaspora. African-Americans don't call themselves that. Neither do African-Europeans or whatever they call themselves over there. So frick off with the hatred of people from your own country.
Anime are cartoons. You're watching cartoons. You're no better than Cinemaphile because you watch anime.
>American Black, right?
Canadian actually.
>African-Americans don't call themselves that.
Lol
Sorry bro, I don't watch cartoons, cartoons nowadays are for gays and self-hating white people.
I do however watch anime and donghua.
I would watch aeni but most of it is CGshit.
They don't. They call themselves Nigerian, Ethiopian, Senegalese. They care more about the country or tribe than their actual skin tone.
>Sorry bro, I don't watch cartoons, cartoons nowadays are for gays and self-hating white people.
>I do however watch anime and donghua.
Why are you here then, Cinemaphilesshole? Fricking pretentious motherfricker.
>Why are you here then, Cinemaphilesshole?
To talk about comics.
Y'know, the thing that the OP is?
Wish Cinemaphile had a board for eastern animation outside of anime, I'd rather talk about that than all the gay boring cartoons that white people are into.
But comics are western. Why not speak about your precious manga?
But comics aren't manga, dipshit
Yes, a European person would focus on their country before the fact they're white. Focusing exclusively on skin tone is an American phenomena.
>Why not speak about your precious manga?
I do both.
Sometimes I wanna talk about Sakamoto Days or Ajin, other times I wanna talk about Megg, Mogg, and Owl or Demon.
And sometimes I wanna laugh at dumbass instagram-tier comics.
Well, speak about comics then. Stop crying because we know anime are cartoons and you can't accept it.
Nah, I'll just do both.
I'll talk about comics when I feel like it and dab on Anglos while you whine.
Sorry m8, your cartoons are crap.
And people say that Cinemaphile hasn't been run over by Cinemaphilessholes who want to see the downfall of western animation.
There is not a want to see, it already happened
>If you don't like stuff that isn't to your tastes it means you want to "see the downfall" of it
Get off the internet dude.
Go the frick outside and get some fresh air.
I don't watch western animation because it provides very little that I want to see.
It's not funny like it used to be, there's little to no good action, the animation sucks, the women are either ugly or stick-armed little girls with literal rectangle plank bodies, it's all just crap.
The only saving grace is fanart, but I don't need to watch shows to consume fanart.
You want western animation to die. You find joy in western animation falling. You want anime to become the sole animated form of entertainment so you can prove your precious Japan is the best.
is proof this is what Cinemaphilessholes want.
>It's not funny like it used to be, there's little to no good action, the animation sucks, the women are either ugly or stick-armed little girls with literal rectangle plank bodies, it's all just crap.
And you're a coomer, so your opinion is even more tainted. Of course you want anime to succeed, it has all the things coomers want!
>You want western animation to die. You find joy in western animation falling. You want anime to become the sole animated form of entertainment so you can prove your precious Japan is the best.
Holy fricking shit this victim complex is hilarious.
Again, go the frick outside and take your meds.
It's not a victim complex when I have proof of it happening in real time. Cinemaphile is a victim of /misc/ and Cinemaphile
It is a victim complex when you think people not liking something that doesn't appeal to them and preferring something that does means that they want the former to die.
You are hilariously insecure.
Both are destined to fall, i don't pick one side or the other
That's because people are unable to realize that their current progression of things only leads to the opposite
Not according to Cinemaphile. Anime is just as good as it was in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Cartoons on the other hand are one day from complete extinction.
If you don't cartoons or comics, why are you and others making threads in a board dedicated to those two things?
>If you don't cartoons or comics
ESL-kun, learn how to follow a reply chain.
I read comics, this thread is about a fricking comic.
Do you not know what the word AND means?
I don't want the art form to die. I think that's already happening with 2D animation and it's a tragedy. I do want the vast majority of people currently employed within the industry to colonize Mars and then the funding dries up, oh no. Same goes for many within the big 2. I really want them to colonize space while I control the supply lines.
I also want 2D animation to live, but even your precious anime is starting to use more 3D in necessary in their TV and movies.
Disney and other animation studios have such a chokehold on the industry that if they die we might see a crash akin to the 1984 ET video game one.
>oh no, one typo means your opinion is invalid
Stop wasting my time and just say you love anime already. You don't read comics, you read instagram comics and manga because most modern comics are shit.
>Stop wasting my time and just say you love anime already.
I love anime.
I'm sure that upsets you.
>You don't read comics
I do, shit like Prison Pit, Demon, and MM&O (sans Crisis Zone) are not Instagram comics.
Are these comics from the industry or indie comics?
Why does that matter?
The industry is an orgy of corpses.
Sure, but it's a lot easier to get an indie comic off the ground than it is to do independent animation, so it's not as big an issue.
The industry is a corpse of itself. If you're reading indie comics, you're not reading comics in the same way people 10-20 years ago read them. When people say they read manga, they mean both industry and indie manga.
In that case, then I've also read BRZRKR, which is not an indie comic.
Well, good for you. That's one industry comic.
Oh, well why don't you try to speak to that great childfree childless anon.
Bro, what is your hangup? Not everyone wants or needs to have children. Get over it.
My hangup is redditors like you who claim no one should have kids because the world is so shit ignoring that we have lived through worse times as a country. This year doesn't even hit top 10 for the US alone, definitely not for the world. And as I've wrote before, if you just said you didn't want kids, I would't care. But you try to justify your decision, to convince others and make yourself feel better, with dumb arguments about how expensive kids are. Kids were always expensive, nothing has changed. Even rich people can lose money because of kids (child support, private schools, etc.)
>you should refuse to make more slaves for elites until they have no choice but to do what you want
Sounds pretty based to me. Eventually they'll run out of third worlders to pay taxes.
You need to focus on your hangups about capitalism, communist instead of my concerns over a country on the verge of collapse. Also, they will just use more third worlders because they have absurd amounts of kids because they know some won't make it to adulthood + more people means more people working which means more money coming in.
>When people say they read manga, they mean both industry and indie manga.
And it's usually modern Dragon Ball or a similar battle manga, isekai, or sickeningly sweet romcoms that feel like they're written by someone who has never talked to another human being, all of which are garbage
>Show me yout allegiance to billionaire or I won't even continu to talk! OBEY
Yeah, I hear anime is going to hell as well. I'm not going to consume that either.
The downfall of California animation needs to happen so the rest of the country can have a chance. Video games were able to succeed at this.
>Video games were able to succeed at this.
>He hasn't been watching these Summer of Gaming streams
American gaming ain't exactly in a great place either.
Why are you this ass blasted that people like things from Japan? This is an unhealthy hatred
I am not ass-blasted over people liking anime. I like anime. I like manga. I don't like weebs with superiority complexes who want to have countless threads on Cinemaphile where they either shit on cartoons or compare them to their "better" animes with their "better" waifus.
You are when they say they still like comics and you cry telling them to go read manga instead
The western comic book industry is dead. What comics are these Cinemaphilessholes reading.
Oh, you want me to bring up college loans for worthless degrees that you have to pay for because you decided to take out the loan. Or the inflation and gas prices caused by Brandon? Which ones so I can prove those issues never stopped earlier generations. It's okay. Just say you don't want kids. Don't make excuses. It's not stopping welfare queens from spitting out 5 kids.
>What comics are these Cinemaphilessholes reading
already said in
>The western comic book industry is dead
What fricking cartoons are there to watch? They all fricking suck
There are plenty, but you won't watch them because they don't appeal to your coomer senses and/or have politics you don't like.
I agree, but at least the manga industry has idiots who read that shit and like it. What is there in the comic book industry to draw in idiots? Even twitter idiots who complains comics aren't diverse enough don't read the shit they make.
>There are plenty, but they all suck
Yea, that's what he said.
They suck to YOU. I like Owl House and SU. I hate Star Vs, and Amphibia. I bet that anon loves some moe shit, or DBZ clone, or DBZ, or other shounen shit or romcom shite.
> I like Owl House and SU
Any and all opinions immediately disregarded
have a nice day
Predictable reply #1
Predictable reply #2
If you two hate modern cartoons so much, why are you here and not on Cinemaphile?
>muh comics
Comic industry is dead. Now go read your manga
>Why are you here, and don't just say you're here for the other reason that this board exists and what this thread was literally created to discuss
Most threads on this board are about cartoons. Try and prove me wrong.
Yes, but they are succeeding. You're not the target audience but they don't care because they succeeded in appealing to those audiences.
>Yes, but they are succeeding. You're not the target audience but they don't care because they succeeded in appealing to those audiences.
That's fine, I don't see a dime of that success either way.
>Most threads on this board are about cartoons.
Yea, that explains a lot about the quality of this board, doesn't it?
>Most threads on this board are about cartoons. Try and prove me wrong.
No they're not they're twitter threads and people b***hing about creators like Dobson and that asian homosexual
>prove me wrong
look at the catalog at any given point during the day
I am. Right now. Most are discussing cartoons.
tdlr; Cinemaphilesshole ranting
Let's break this down for Cinemaphile anons who can't understand the nuance of weeb whining.
>Your culture and your society ruined their minds. You live in a feminist society that privileges men over women to such a degree that many of them have become lost souls because they cannot function in this society, you believe in bullshit myths generated by leftists, you have traumatized them because they live a lie. When Western society was sane, pre-1945, you didn't see any of these social ills.
Political sperging.
>Also, Westerners, especially Northern Europeans have a difficult time separating fiction from reality. I notice for example, that Northern Europeans who are mentally ill love to put political flag avatars and then try to use an anime character as some avatar for their delusional illness.
Generalization on entire groups of people based on terminally online Twitter users.
>It may explain why you get so offended by fiction, you get mad that other people like fictional X, you get angry at e-girlcon as if it were CP, and why transexuals like to pretend they are anime girls.
Coomer defending pedophilic actions.
>For some reason, some of you seem to understand that "GTA" isn't reality where you are actually carjacking and kiling innocent people, but now I start to wonder if you really do.
GTA is a video game, of course it's not real. But evidence has proven e-girlcon has led to pedophiles going to real cheese pizza (which is ILLEGAL) and/or hurting real children. Where is the evidence of GTA causing real life harm to people?
>But evidence has proven e-girlcon has led to pedophiles going to real cheese pizza
Post it.
Can't. Don't remember where the interview was. It was an interview with a person convicted of having CP and pointing to e-girlcon as a reason.
Us? /misc/ uses this board to wipe its shit on all the time.
>Can't.
Wow, a white Euro making shit up? Never heard of that before.
And an interview is not a study.
>white Euro
Funny you think I'm European. That place loves cheese pizza just as much as Japan. And an interview does prove there are some people who have gone through this gateline.
Oh, excuse me, a white American making shit up, even more common.
And an interview proves nothing, it'd be like me posting an interview of a white guy who has kids and said his kids are why he became a white supremacist and coming to the conclusion that having kids turns white people into white supremacists.
That example would never happen. A white supremacist would use statistics to justify his racism. His kids would only come in as a reason to be a white supremacist, not the reason he became one.
>.t weeb crying
>That example would never happen.
I mean, I can literally go on Youtube and find interviews with KKK members who say they became a member because they care about the future of white children.
Which, by your own logic, would be sufficient proof to say that white people who care about the future of their children are KKK members in the making.
But that is not proven. Why do you seem so upset that I rightfully point out how people who like e-girl/shota are pedophiles in the making.
>But that is not proven.
But it is, it's an interview, and it exists, so it's as proven as your assertion.
Unless you've got some peer-reviewed studies you want to post instead of just pulling shit out of your ass like usual.
How many people want to do research on pedophiles and e-girlcon? They would have to look at the disgusting art you fap to everyday.
>What are you expecting, CNN to tell Ugandans, "stop breeding so much you filthy Black folk"?
No, I expect them to stop telling white people to stop having kids.
>Birth rates in third-world countries *have* been dropping by increasing quality of life, availability of contraceptives, etc, it will just take longer for them to catch up to the first world.
Doesn't matter if the birthrates of first world nations are below replacement. We all deserve replaceable birth rates.
>Frick's sake, I always expect these complaints to be nuanced and about natalism as a whole but instead more people seem afraid the "wrong" kind of people are having too many kids.
What? I don't want third world nations to stop having kids, but for media to stop telling first world nations to stop having kids.
>t. pedo ranting
Just go back to fapping to drawings of children.
>How many people want to do research on pedophiles and e-girlcon?
Just say "I can't point to any studies, I pulled it out of my ass because I find e-girl porn disgusting."
You white people are so pathetically transparent with this shit.
Yes, this is me admitting there are not a lot of studies. Blame yourself for people not wanting to look into disgusting art.
>white people
What? Other races also disagree with adults preying on kids.
>Yes, this is me admitting there are not a lot of studies.
No, it's you admitting you can't point to any.
Which is why you just pulled something out of your ass.
Which, again, is pretty typical of whites nowadays.
>Which, again, is pretty typical of whites nowadays.
Your random racism over the fact that people don't like e-girlcon and shotacon is weird.
It's more over the fact that those people only use that argument for porn they don't like.
If someone said something like "making racist jokes is violence" you'd rightfully call that person moronic, or "playing violent video games will make you into a violent moron."
Hell, people have used the exact same broken "logic" that that anon used to insinuate that any adult who watches cartoons for children is a pedophile.
It's just so baffling to see that kind of thinking on Cinemaphile of all places, but anon strikes me as being autistic, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Look, I don't like pedophiles trying to normalize creating "art" involving children being in sexual situations.
>i-it's just a drawing!
Tell that to the frickers who were cooming over the actresses in the live-action Loud House because they coom over the characters in the cartoon.
Yeah go tell them they're fricked up. It's not the drawings problem
Do you or do you not agree with those who coomed over the minor actresses in the live-action Loud House? Yes or no?
>Look, I don't like psychopaths trying to normalize creating "art" involving violent murder and violent situations.
That other anon was right, people like you are horrible at understanding the difference between fiction and reality.
Which is why you have so much trouble gaining any allies, since you inevitably engage in a purity spiral before you start hurling death threats and accusations.
And yea, you're definitely a typical white American.
>you start hurling death threats and accusations.
What? I never made death threats.
Don't worry, I know your type, you're American after all.
Your kind is always okay with violence.
>American
>okay with violence
Your international news channel commenting on the school shooting that happened does not represent every American.
Anon, you're literally in this thread b***hing about porn and drawings but have not said a single thing about violence, which you are clearly a-okay with.
Don't bother, the racist wh*teoid hungers for violence. Their subhuman ilk will meet their end sooner or later.
What? Since I'm not talking about violence means I support it? I'm talking about porn because of coomers.
Violence is present in all kinds of media from all over the world. It is not an uniquely American thing.
This thread isn't even about porn or coomers, you're literally b***hing about porn because you assume that everyone who disagrees with you is a porn addict or something and you think porn is the root of all evil.
You're such a typical fricking American, my god.
The discussion went to porn because originally it was about Cinemaphilessholes. One of the reasons Cinemaphilessholes love anime is that it appeals to their cooming habits. This is why the discussion went to the effects of porn on people's behaviors.
>The discussion went to porn because I assumed that everyone disagreeing with me is a porn addict
You literally just regurgitated what I said right back at me.
Again, you are such a typical American.
You strike me as the kinda guy who's going to go shoot up an Asian massage parlor or something.
I never said you were a porn addict for liking anime, but that a lot of anime appeals to porn addicts. Shows me how true these words are to your experience. You hate what I'm saying because it applies to you and assume I mean every weeb out there is a hairy-handed sex pest because that is what you are.
>I never said you were a porn addict for liking anime
>You hate what I'm saying because it applies to you
Holy shit, you really are doubling down on that "typical American" shit.
Don't shoot up a school just because you're upset at people liking things that aren't made by Americans.
Never said I disliked anime. I like media outside of America. I hate people who think they are superior for consuming media outside of America.
Point to me where anyone considered themselves superior to anyone else for liking anime over cartoons please.
This is your insecurity shining through again, again, very typical American behaviour, where you assume that anyone who says something positive about some non-American media or something negative about American media must consider themselves superior to you.
Plenty of people in this thread, that is where the argument occurred. Some butthole thinking he's better for consuming anime because it isn't cartoons when anime is the word for cartoon/animation in Japan. Also, your obsession with America is weird.
>Plenty of people in this thread
So point to them you fricking moron.
>Some butthole thinking he's better for consuming anime
FRICKING
SHOW ME
Someone saying "I like anime more than cartoons" is not them pretending to be superior to you you fricking insecure American dumbfrick, what the frick is wrong with you?
Why are you like this?
It happened way back in the beginning of the thread.
Hey, dumbfrick.
This is Cinemaphile.
Scroll up and click the fricking number of the post you think was someone acting superior to you.
Otherwise, frick off.
Reply to the post then homosexual
Watch any "adult" American TV show or movie. People get shot all to frick and murdered in horrible ways all day long.
Oh yea, Americans fricking LOVE violence, it's their bread and butter.
I remember someone posted that image of an American live action show that showed a dead mutilated body with the skin on its back flayed and hanged to look like butterfly wings above it, completely uncensored, but the network felt the need to censor the corpse's exposed buttcrack, because that's just too much for the sensible American mind, which definitely isn't warped at all.
I keep telling the world that there's a monster in America that will eat them, and they tell me I don't know what a real monster is.
I'm sure the obnoxious American tourist is based on a very real reality. But I think "oblivious outsider" can apply to every nationality.

See what I mean? Some westerners really are unable to legitimately differentiate between real life and fantasy. You think fictional drawings are reality. You are offended that other people engage in fiction. This is why its clear you cannot differentiate fantasy and reality even when it comes to GTA. Because your opinion is contradictory and your reasoning makes no sense. Indeed, the fact that you're asking how GTA can cause real life harm to people suggest that even you, deep down, cannot segregate fantasy and reality because you believe that GTA has the POTENTIAL to harm people, and that GTA is still "reality", but to you its not "bad" because there is no evidence it harms people, but if it did, you would gladly accept that GTA is reality and not fiction, because you don't really believe that GTA is just a fantasy. I believe the only reason you even say that is because this is not a position you actually thought about, you are just parroting a opinion made by other people and adopting it on your own.

lol I bet you feel really cool
Yes.
If I have to guess because weebs wanna feel special, meanwhile in Japan they even call The Simpsons an anime
Successful rebranding. Only little kids watch cartoons :^)
Weebs are too embarrassed to admit they watch cartoons.
Because they deserve it you moron. Japan actually produced so much animation, so much of it unique and better then anything American and Westerners can make, that Westerners felt a need to designate Japanese animation with a special word to segregate it from regular Western cartoons even back in the 80s. This is the main reason why no one likes Japanese animation being called "Cartoons". It feels offensive to be compared. Silly? Well, its an attitude that comes from Westerners to begin with.
The whole world prefers Japanese animation over what the USA makes, so the word had staying power.
And although Westerners are anti-racists morons, its funny how the word "anime" is a very racial term that shows biological difference. After all, anime just means Japanese animation. It has staying power because anime is almost always made by Japanese people within Japan with Japanese preferences and desires and outlooks. What is Western animation? Barely any recent one can be considered as something made by white American males within America with white American preferences and white American desires and white American outlook. This isn't Walt Disney era, which incidentally, is where all the most renowned Western animation creation reside.
The word anime simply means it was made by Japanese people. Anime isn't a style. If we lived in a world where Japan experienced mass migration, and a bunch of mutts began moving to Japan and starting becoming involved directly with Japanese animation studios and making anime. Then it wouldn't matter if it resembled "anime", eventually, it will slowly bear no difference to Western animation and the word "anime" would be quickly abandoned as a special word that specifically refers to Japanese animation because there would be no more reason too.
>so much animation
Quality over quantity. Both France and S. Korea run circles around Japan in this regard
>so much of it unique
LMFAO
Didn't read the rest of your assmad manifesto
>I am moronic!!
>I LE LAUGH HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Are we supposed to think anything but you being a shit eating, glue sniffing drooling mongoloid?
S Korean animation is largely trash, frick are you talking about?
Only some of the theatrical stuff is any good.
>so much of it unique
Unique in what way? Being a slightly different retread of the same genre tropes?
They do, many people just dont know the word for cartoons in that language. and/or likely it hasnt caught on yet.
for example, Korean webcomics are known as Manwha. But most people don't know nearly know that as much, and thus refer to them as simply korean comics or even using (incorrectly) manga as a catch all term for "asian comic" or "comic that looks like it came out of japan"
This is a moronic analogy. Comics books are a different medium than regular books. Anime is the same medium as cartoons, the only difference is where they came from.
They are the same thing, just different target audiences and sometimes not.
If 40 cakes didn't fricking hate the comic author some might actually agree with them in this one case, like look where the frick you are.

This is why more and more women are childless and single into their old age now
Yes of course. Property rates, inflation, a stagnation in wages, and the high cost of living have nothing to do with it. It’s because girls like cartoons.
economic reasons have never ever stopped poor people from having children. I don't know why people keep spewing that garbage especially nowadays when there are more crutches for such situations than ever before in history
> economic reasons have never ever stopped poor people from having children
Yes they have, though? Birth rates always decline with economic hardship.
That's because you used to be able to use children as labor and you needed children for financial support. Also you had literally no direct control over it.
Nowadays they are just an enormous drain of resources.
If most people couldn't even afford an extra room for a child due to ridiculous rent costs, how will they pay for everything else a child costs them?
Moreover, the women are working now and have an actual career so long as they aren't out for years to raise children.
You saw the proverbial baby boomers right in the middle of the greatest expansion of middleclass wealth in the USA.
Guess why this just stopped when wages kept stagnating and wealth only kept flowing into the pockets of the rich?
With better wages, particularly for the lower classes and free public childcare institutions you could certainly alleviate the situation.
>Nowadays [children] are just an enormous drain of resources.
In my opinion, that attitude proves the other anon right. You're looking at children as a burden instead of enrichment. A lot of young adults these days think like you. They are choosing to spend their precious time and money on anime, collectibles, alcohol, junkfood, pets, vacations, sports, or whatever brand of hedonism they happen to be into, instead of choosing to spend their resources on their offspring. Having children requires one to be a responsible adult and sacrifice some personal comforts. People don't want to do that.
Have you heard of people who call themselves "childfree", or those who use the word "adulting"? There's some kind of a widespread Peter Pan syndrome that's been taking over. The issue seems to be linked to privileged lifestyles that make people reluctant to enter adulthood. If the hesitance to have families resulted from economical factors, then the poorest countries in the world would be having a lot more trouble having children. But their birthrates are high, while the richest countries that provide tons of safety nets for families have the lowest birthrates.
How are the kids, anon?
In bed right now.
Of course he’s european.
> the poorest countries in the world have high birthrates now
Have any numbers to back that up?
Also I think that might just come right back around to that other anon’s point about child labor as a workforce. That’s not an option in first world nations where the practice is illegal and parents are expected to provide for their children right up into adulthood with little to no return, and I think that may be a significant factor to consider when making a comparison.
not him but that birth rate thing is pretty common knowledge. It's been an observed trend for decades that as a country's wealth rises the birth rate typically declines. Now there are several studies and factors that try to explain why that is, but people can and have drawn different conclusions.
I think the labor thing is overstated too since you're looking at like a 4-5 year investment at a minimum before you see any kind of return and that's without factoring in the production lost from the preggo woman
>Have any numbers to back that up?
You fricking moron
You can't compare 1+1 To birthrates.
The latter can't be determined just in your head.
>But their birthrates are high, while the richest countries that provide tons of safety nets for families have the lowest birthrates
The cost of having children in poorer countries is relatively lower. For better or for worse, people in more developed countries want higher standards for their children(dietary needs, daycare,
mentioned an "extra room" for a child, as if you couldn't just cram a whole family in one room and still manage, etc). That's just one factor to why third-worlders are so prolific at churning out babies though. There's shit like
>extra labor
>having someone to take care of you in your old age because your country doesn't have social safety nets
>lack of contraceptives but still having sex anyways
>culture/religion that emphasizes having kids or contributing to a legacy
You say it's selfish to forego having children when the argument could just as easily be turned on its head when people have them for the purpose of security or pleasure or whatever. Personally speaking, I could not bring a life into this world in good conscience when it seems like things are only getting worse. Children deserve more than to live in the mess their forebears made.
>everyone can't afford the stupidly high costs of raising a child because they're all r/childfree redditors
how are you even supposed to raise the child you created when both parents working is a necessity for a majority of families? How "enriching" is it for either you or the child to spend their entire youth in daycares, public schools and afterschool programs instead of with their mom/dad? How do you bond with someone you never get to see because you're too busy slaving away to some corporation, knowing that the same exact fate awaits your children. But sure, we should all take notes from 3rd-world shitholes because despite the exuberant amounts of poverty, crime, famine, and other poor living conditions, they're producing enough offspring to fuel the cycle
People had children during the Depression, during wars, during fricking famines. I don't want to hear about how poor you are when you can afford $500+ PS5, $1000 PC and several streaming services + Amazon Prime while living in an apartment in some liberal city. Maybe learn to manage your fricking resources. But you won't because you just don't want to handle the responsibility and growing up required to have children.
can you make an argument outside of strawmans?
Do you even have kids?
No, but I lived around people who had several with no issues because they were so poor, as you claimed to be. Do you have kids? I know you don't because you're complaining about your finances getting in the way of having them.
Good, I have only watched one anime recently since I stopped watching over a decade ago. It's Osomatsu-san. Yes, make fun of me. It's better than the shounen anime people scream over.
>as you claimed to be
Not the same guy.
Yes.
>People had children during the Depression, during wars, during fricking famines
Birthrates fell during the depression anon. People still had children(just like people still have children now), but there are noticeable declines when things get tough. A better question to consider is why people have kids at all during miserable, uncertain times.
People have kids because its a biological condition to have them. If we gave up everytime things got hard, we wouldn't exist as a human race. Now stop being a nihilist and learn to enjoy what good in life there is.
No, I mean show me what good comics are coming from the industry because I have yet to see any.
Who cares about whether something good comes out of "the industry" or not?
Because manga is doing better because the industry has shit people want to read.
I never claimed birthrates didn't decrease during this time but people didn't stop having kids altogether because times were hard. The destruction of single-income homes started when women were allowed fully into the workplace, which I don't disagree with. The issue now is that people can't support the lifestyles they want if one person is not working. Both have to work and ship their kids off to daycare where they can be abused or molested.
>people didn't stop having kids altogether because times were hard.
nobody claimed that, people claimed that more people decided to not have children which is objectively true
OK, and I'm saying let's not use that as an issue because people still had kids in hard times. Just say you don't want or need children. I accept and even agree that people here don't deserve a child they can abuse or frick up.
>People have kids because its a biological condition to have them
That's not inherently special though, even lowly creatures like rats or flies have the biological drive to reproduce. Humans are uniquely sapient in that we can ponder long-term consequences and moral implications.
>If we gave up everytime things got hard, we wouldn't exist as a human race
Yes but there's a huge gulf between depressed birthrates and "everyone stop making babies voluntarily live out Children of Men". A large part of the Depression generation didn't have kids because of hardship, and the boomers made up for it once things got better. Current times seem similar to the former than the latter
>Humans are uniquely sapient in that we can ponder long-term consequences and moral implications.
Yes, but my point is that people won't stop having kids just because redditors say it's bad for the environment or they're too expensive.
>A large part of the Depression generation didn't have kids because of hardship, and the boomers made up for it once things got better. Current times seem similar to the former than the latter
Yes, but there weren't buttholes in the media convincing people in first world countries only to stop having kids so they can bring more desperate third worlders who have tons of kids. Where is the equal messaging?
>Yes, but there weren't buttholes in the media convincing people in first world countries only to stop having kids so they can bring more desperate third worlders who have tons of kids.
The media isn't some monolithic entity that broadcasts to every nation in the world, and even in western countries the message isn't unanimously "stop having kids".
>Where is the equal messaging?
What are you expecting, CNN to tell Ugandans, "stop breeding so much you filthy Black folk"? Third world countries have their own sentiments and messaging. But still, the overall goal is to have sustainable birthrates across the board. Birth rates in third-world countries *have* been dropping by increasing quality of life, availability of contraceptives, etc, it will just take longer for them to catch up to the first world.
Frick's sake, I always expect these complaints to be nuanced and about natalism as a whole but instead more people seem afraid the "wrong" kind of people are having too many kids.
>better question to consider is why people have kids at all during miserable, uncertain times
dumb, impulsive people have lots of sex during tough times.
Lots of sex results in new people being born.
As a result, new people are forced to live through miserable time lines because of the shortsightedness of their parents.
But abortion is beloved in this generation. People advocate for abortion all the time. People during the Depression didn't have an easy way to get rid of children without being a complete fricking butthole and engaging in infanticide. Abortion is a celebrated and easy form of birth control.
Birth rates always drop during hard times. Pretending that the destruction of single-income homes has nothing to do with birth rates is willful ignorance.
only because poor people are too stupid to realize the situation they are in; educated people have always stopped having kids when its not convenient

It's amazing how anime has completely rotted the brains of so many people under 30. If it weren't for the fact that it ruined Japan's youth as well, I'd swear its existence was revenge for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I always thought it was the other way around. Nobody who ends up obsessed with children's media was going to be a productive human anyways, so it's better to have them rot in their rooms instead of attacking people on the subway or w/e
Anime didn't ruin the minds of anyone you Western moron. Your culture and your society ruined their minds. You live in a feminist society that privileges men over women to such a degree that many of them have become lost souls because they cannot function in this society, you believe in bullshit myths generated by leftists, you have traumatized them because they live a lie. When Western society was sane, pre-1945, you didn't see any of these social ills.
Also, Westerners, especially Northern Europeans have a difficult time separating fiction from reality. I notice for example, that Northern Europeans who are mentally ill love to put political flag avatars and then try to use an anime character as some avatar for their delusional illness. The reason why you do this is likely because you cannot separate fantasy from fiction on a fundamental level. It may explain why you get so offended by fiction, you get mad that other people like fictional X, you get angry at e-girlcon as if it were CP, and why transexuals like to pretend they are anime girls. For some reason, some of you seem to understand that "GTA" isn't reality where you are actually carjacking and kiling innocent people, but now I start to wonder if you really do.

The kid looks like she’s eight. Her mother would have had to have been the one to actually buy half those toys. I don’t understand parents that are like this.
You would be surprised how many parents just throw away hundreds of dollars of toys they bought just a year ago. I remember when I worked at a supermarket the owner of the franchise would bring over big toys for us to throw in the compactor. It'd be giant dollhouses, sleds, bikes, etc.

I don't get this comic, she's suggesting certain animes are childish when they are not exactly that, calling an anime full of adult situations "childish" can be harmful for actual children who watch the episodes of something they're too young. And frick her, I still watch cartoon media even the ones that you might say are fro children and I don't have to parade that, they just want attention and feel special. All they do is to embarrass themselves by buying all the merchandise instead of something actually cool.
>calling an anime full of adult situations "childish" can be harmful for actual children who watch the episodes of something they're too young
Lol
Anon, just because an anime has "adult situations" (by American standards) doesn't mean it's not suitable for children.
I watched a lot of classic 90's anime in my youth so I saw Roshi see Bulma's vegana and bleed red, yeah uncensored (Latin America moment) and I'm fine. But if my parents were paying more attention they wouldn't have let me do so. It's complicated but if I'm fine and not a pervert (take my word for it) then kids are fine,
I mean, European movies from the 70s were like super liberal with having people run around naked in non-sexual context.
And I certainly ended up a pervert. But I'm German so the chances are like 50/50 to begin with.
Sure buddy. Latin America's sex drive is 5x more than the US'. If you hadn't had sex by 13, you're a social outcast. Of course uncensored Dragon Ball was fine for their children. It prepared them for life in Latin America.
You are correct but what I can do? I'm still virgin while all my friends already had sex more times than fingers in my two hands.
That's okay.
They're probably riddled with STD's anyway.
My deepest condolences, anon.
Yokai Watch is literally a children's anime with fart and poop jokes
>mom and dad are in their 60's
>always complain about how computers are this "complicated new technology!" and "whys it all have to be so hard!"
>can barely send emails or type a letter
>meanwhile "modern" computers have been around for at least 40 years now
>my grandfather, who was my dads father fricking loved technology and computers, and even had a PS1 with games like Gradius
People who actively choose not to learn will consider things hard. It is weird how many older people can't use a computer when computers have been around since the 50s/60s but can use a smartphone just fine.
Not that weird, smart phones are geared to the most casual users. Its why you have that meme about Gen Z not knowing how to use a computer or do basic computer things like torrenting.
nobody gives a shit what women think. it's not much.
>women
>think
>anime and manga is mainstream now
This hits too close, bro. Stop posting this shit.
I don't get it.
She has no friends I think
What anime is this from?
Boku no Pico
Long ago they wanted people to attach too much to brands, however they did not saw the enter in the industries of those that will hurt old fans by completely changing the series they loved into what they never wanted them to turn into like degen.politics for example
Newer generations are more driven by hype, memes, dopamines and driven stringed heroic morality, they do not attach themselves to brands but rather to participate in things and laughs once they see characters gutting humiliated or cucked for example, there won't be series that will be well remembered nor concepts like honour, true justice, etc. all glossed over by irony
I'm glad women are a dying race.
Burgers never gave a shit about anime until dbz, also it stopped being good after the early 2000's, movies were already under hollywood and soon after would be followed by comics and vidya
I'm involved in the industry in some nightmarish ways. Given all that, I'm not all that interested in cartoons. Would've naturally grown out of it years ago if it didn't show my soul trapped in infinite backrooms every 3 seasons or so.

Members of groups of miniorities like you desire attention from everyone in this board, but you're not even getting a (you)
Why do people embarrassed they like something that its for children?
these are the same people who are also socialism advocates because they think it will produce a society that will allow them to live their indulgent childhood forever
anime does = cartoon though, what are you trying to say
You don't realize the harsh sad truth that affected all things, will you remain ignorant inside a bubble to stay away from it?
Manchildren disgust me
>the I don't watch cartoons or read comics crowd is here too puff there chest and cry about degeneracy
>again
What's the difference? That Japan spews out more mediocre shit than the US? That cartoons from Nippon can be senselessly violent without it being a shitty comedy? whether you browse Cinemaphile or you browse Cinemaphile you are moronic anyway, weebs are just more moronic because almost their entire culture is rooted on the internet and I doubt the opposite is false (that westaboos aren't more moronic than weebs in Japan).
>because almost their entire culture is rooted on the internet
But that applies to every hobby enjoyed by people under the age of 30.
Why do you care about what women think and keep making threads about what they think about
Because they're half the population
>women
>think
I hate women.
>all woman think anime = Studio Ghibli and Shōnen
They'd ree if they ever saw underneath the iceberg
If they saw the rest of what anime had to offer, they would wish all anime was Studio Ghibli and Shounen.
What is going on in this thread
Schizos arguing with Schizos
Buzzword colture destroyed good vocabulary and replaced it a shitter one, you don't even realize the damage of your actions
Tell me, oh wise anon, what would you refer to a bunch of insane people arguing about pointless bullshit and accusing one another of wanting the downfall of another society?
I don't have to tell you anything, your behaviour proves me right
>uhhhhhh I'm right because... I am!
It's okay to hate weaboos
>this is what lack of faith and paternal figure does to children
society is literally and unironically collapsing
Anime are literally cartoons. Get over yourself weeb.
>anything that’s not anime art or Disney sucks.
Also Cinemaphile
all japanese think anime = cartoon
Yes tranime = cartoon.
This is completely unrealistic
No one liked both Pokemon and Digimon, you had to pick one.
