Man I love some of the hostility here. I'm not even joking or being sarcastic, I've noticed that whenever I initially precieve something as overly hostile it's generally people presenting ideas/opinions/truths that I don't like to face up to so seeing this much of it is a good thing I think!
Pretty much this. I was the same way when I was, like, fourteen, but you learn to get over it and (usually) appreciate the merits of interacting with and becoming closer to other people. If you're really that fixated on GAMING/ANIME/MOVIES (or whatever) just wait until you get to college maybe? I think a lot of people tend to discard the silly stigma they have for talking about "socially unacceptable," things when they get out of high school and are allowed to be themselves.
Lemme address all the age comments right her - I'm not a snot nosed 13 year old who is just discovering nihilism and turning emo or some bullshit like that - most of us have those stages, I did too, but I grew out of it at like 16. I'm 22 now, in university, and it's not so much of "the universe is awful..... sigh *cuts self*" but rather "hey I've finally discovered what my tastes are so why not stop looking because every attempt at trying something new has never quite lived up to the hype."
i mean you give off the vibe of ..........heh ppl.....who needs em...........while thinkin you are the tough shit and "different". let me tell ya somethin, there are another billion faggots out there who spend their evenings watching anime and playing videogames. theres nothing particularly unique about you. why not meet other people like that?
It really doesn't matter if I'm precieved as tough shit or not, nor do I care if it's unique. If I like something, I like it - It doesn't really matter how many other people enjoy it.
Besides generally meeting up with people who are into those things (video games etc, admittedly less anime now than a few years ago and more gaming but the interest's still there) is never fruitful because they're all invariably people I can't stand. Like i tried out the gaming/anime clubs at the university and I quickly found that I really didn't want to be around them. That may come with the territory though, hell, I could be just as abrasive. I know I wouldn't want to be friends with me. The good thing is, I don't have to.
there's no code. if you play videogames rather than do something else you are retreating into a safe area. way to act like a condescending dick to your friend though?
What? How does this make sense? "If you play videogames rather than doing something else you're retreating into a safe area." That's like saying a guy who likes golf is retreating away from life when he plays golf or something.
You can have an interest, and enjoy it, and it's not called "retreating to a safe area" or "missing out on life". It's called "having fun".
either you have severe mental health issues or you're a stupid kid whose worldview has been shaped by the animes you've watched and you're just going through a "heh.....people are worthless" phase that a lot of 13 year olds also go through.
I dont even know why people are bothering with you. you're probably the kind of person who collects swords, wears dragonball z dress shirts, and make youtubes arguing about why 4Kids Entertainment is a shitty organization because they censor your favorite anime. I think you're doing the world a favor by isolating yourself from everyone else.
Over the past few years my interest has shifted away from anime and toward gaming (though admittedly there's still a few anime I'd like to watch.) As for the kind of person I am, I'm a rabid nintendo fan that truly believes video gaming hit its pinnacle during the SNES years and doesn't mind wearing a T-shirt with a 1-UP on it, and don't really care for the massive retarded discussions of anime censorship or whatever as my interest in anime is only waning as time goes on.
post your pic or we dont believe you're a hermit.
I don't think I've ever said I'm a hermit! I'm just somebody who doesn't see a problem with socializing less than the 'accepted norm'.
As for the personal comments, I'm not morbidly obese but I'd like to lose 10 pounds, and I edited my location as part of a joke on .org's irc, but don't worry, I changed it back for all of you <3 In any case, that's on .org, not here. Rampant and out-of-context use of 'faggot' and 'nigger' is common and allowed over there, so there's no problems with it. In any case, I'm not posting it here. :P
