| People like escapism, but I've never "escaped" to a fictional world of any kind. Pretty much all of my favorites either take place in the real world, a dystopia, or the end of the world. So, none of those are particularly good places to escape to. |

| I think you misunderstand what 'escapism' means. All the stuff you mentioned can still work very well as escapism. It just needs to take you out of your immediate, personal situation and that can be done with stories set in the real world or a dystopia just as well. There's plenty of 'realistic' western TV shows that still work as escapism for most viewers because it takes them out of their own life and pulls them into a story. I'd even say the vast majority of stories are inherently escapist and even those who aren't can be used as escapism depending on the person. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Yes I wanna be the pirate king and on my way there I will become the next hokage and catch all Pokémon. |
| Still Interspecies reviewers is the ideal fantasy world to escape to. |
| Neo Venezia. Where people are nice and chill unlike here on earth where everyone only exists to annoy me. |
 |
| Non Non Biyori's or Gochiusa's worlds seem the best places to relax on :) |

| I wanna be a top duel monsters duelist. Then i can maybe meet Mai Valentine. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| You know kazuma complains a lot, but tbh his life sounds really fun. Also most isekai protags lives as well, at least the non trauma ones like isekai smartphone. |
| Always wanted to escape to Gintama world or ranma ½ |
 |
| Yeah but that still wouldn't make me feel better about myself |
| i'd really like to become the jigoku shoujo and deliver vengeance i also dream of being a diclonius but in the world of Elfen Lied i probably would be killed as an infant or tortured in the lab, so nope |
