Jesus, my family's peachy keen in comparison to some of you guys. My condolences, as well.
...Considering the stuff I've let out about him, that may not be surprising
Anyways, sorry for going all Chagen on you guys
Oh man, Malk
That bites.
^^Don't apologize. You are nothing like Chagen. Besides, like I said, it's comforting to know that we are not alone.
Icalasari compared himself to Chagen?
Eh, we all have our problems.
Oh Jesus, man
Your dad sounds way worse than Chagen's (assuming that Chagen wasn't using that as an attention-grabbing scheme)
Hurm, woke up with the biggest headache. As per usual, sorry to hear about how bad your life's gotten. I really do hope it gets better. I want to say I know or something, but that's a promise that I can't maintain and it'd probably come off as fake, so...there ya go, best of wishes riding off at ya. For whatever that's worth.
Eelektross: It's why I'm sometimes worried about talking about my dad =/ Because in my head I'll get told to shut up and stop acting like Chagen
Don't worry. It isn't talking about his dad that made Chagen...Chagen. It's that he used it to attention hoar.
Don't attention hoar and you're fine.
And he acted so much like a spoiled child that it cast doubt on his sincerity.
So what are your thoughts on waifus?
You're Beautiful by James Blunt.
A more serious answer: I don't care what you jack off to in your spare time as long as I don't have to see it. I think most people that claim waifus don't really mean it, but for those that escalate into body pillows...again, I'd rather not know.
Funny when they are tongue-in-cheek joking about nerds bonding to fiction because of their high standards for real life, sad when it's actually serious.
The concept is amusing, as is the sound of the word, but I pity those who seriously adore anime characters that much.
-raises hand-
What does "high standards" even mean? Most of the time, they sound more like "anally picky and uncomfortably domineering."
Right, that's what I meant in that sentence.
Annoying, creepy, and objectifying when done seriously. A hilarious parody of annoying, sexist, and creepy behaviors when not done seriously.
-looks up meaning of waifu-
Oh wait, nevermind. I was aiming for discussing PSL in general, but it turns out that "waifu" doesn't quite fit that definition.
Most definitely don't. Some really do though, I think. Or rather, I think I can understand the feelings that would lead to someone being serious about it, although I'm not really sure if I'd ever be able to be completely serious when I say x character is mai waifu.
And I think it's not really "high standards" (or being anal and domineering) so much as feeling lonely and desperate manifested in such a way that it looks like high standards.
That's a odd paradox. If you're desperate, then wouldn't you latch onto anyone?
As for PSL, refer to my first (serious) statement.
Nevarmind
What are your thoughts on PSL in general?
I don't mind it (and admittedly succumb to it somewhat) up until the point where people seek out physical, real-life effigies for the objects of their affection.
Then it just gets...ergh.
^^Judging by the "omg ur a GIRL?!?!?!" reactions, they do but they try use the high standards excuse to explain why they've never had girlfriends.
@Eelektross: Still creepy beyond "x character is hot", and still objectifying in all cases.
Personally, I think it's a little sad. I mean, it's like you're lonely and you don't know what to do and being attracted to a fictional character is kind of an acceptance of that.
I want mine to be gentle and know how to play music.
Yeah, but they won't necessarily latch onto you, and it's easy to at least pretend that an anime character loves you, whereas with a real person you'll have to deal with the fact that they actually don't. Besides, there might not even be anyone to latch onto in the first place, if you're particularly asocial.
I mean, the Lust does not burn within people with high self-esteem.
Honestly, I don't see what the problem with PSL is so long as it's done within obvious reasonable boundaries. Catwoman is drawn to be sexy, so why is it weird to find Catwoman sexy?
