| please dont bother excessively argue about pedo stuff here this is a much bigger thread about the immoral, evil, criminal things in anime that can influence or fuel your dark side more so thoughts? i voted sometimes like maybe for a short time and never influence me to become a criminal like if there is excessive gore or violence that i frequently watch in anime, it stays in fantasy for me sure there are urges but never materializes and the urge only last for short term after finishing an anime like it so how about you? |
| "can anime influence your dark side?" Rarely, I guess. |
 |
| Any kind of idea input can have all sorts of influences on people, including this. It's hard to predict the influences media will have though. |
| If you are someone who can't tell the differences between reality or fiction then you should spend some years in a psychiatric facility. |
 |
| Yes possibly, especially with my fascination for panties/pantyshots, heck the main reason why I even watched my first anime was because it had 3 pantyshots on the back cover of the dvd lol. Media in my country very rarely shows things like that. |

| @Spunkert except those that have dark triad traits are not crazy and can hide and lie about their conditions but still do crimes a lot of times |
| "can anime influence your dark side?" I am dark force acolyte (and huge Asajj Ventress simp) anyway. |
| If you have a dark side that’s easily influenced then yes it can, along with every other stimulus out there. It’s more of a fertilizer for whatever dark shit an already rotting mind will cultivate/allow to fester. |

| @cyandaqil ok so do you think not everyone has a dark side? i thought human nature is duality of good and bad? its just a matter of severity or level difference |
| Anime can always influence my dark side, but they do not always :P |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| It depends, probably sometimes as the main dark side of mine is bloodthirst, even tho I dislike violence which involves me directly [excluding sports] and the anime which have some sort of physical fight no matter if it's dirty real fight or any honor/duel/sport fight each of them which involves some sort of influence into my bloodthirst it does satisfy my dark side. |
| You know how some people say video games cause violence? I feel the same way about anime. It doesn't. |

| @deg the “severity or level difference” is what I’m referring to when i say “a dark side that’s easily influenced”. Most people watch horror movies and it doesn’t really affect them. Some people, with “rotting minds”, watch horror movies and become obsessed and inspired to commit crimes. |

I often see that happen in chuuni anime. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| No, it doesn't. It's the opposite, I watch anime to calm down my dark side. Watching fucked up shit where characters lose their mind and kill others like Happy Sugar Life or Higurashi calms down my destructive negative urges when I'm in a bad mood and makes me feel at ease. |
 |
| Ever since I was a little kid I had the urge to get in my robot and kill people for making fun of my girly name, so yeah, it has nothing to do with Zeta |

| No, my darkness is already infinitely dark. |

| Anime itself? No. The anime fanbase? Yes, it has happened. |

| No I am not a person to be influenced by dark stuff in shows. But ı may be influenced by good stuff. |

| Yes, Star Wars visions made me into a Sith Lord /s |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| Influence? No, never. I don't want to spend my life in prison that would be a true waste of time. Satisfy? Yes, it pleases me. Like the memes you might have seen before: -> Slaughter, you can't spell it without laughter. -> Violence, if it's not solving all your problems, you simply aren't using enough of it. -> Violence isn't the answer. Violence is the question and the answer is yes. |
| I don't know who quotes me and then deletes the comment, but know that you make my day. STEAM's GOTY 2024 the Ghost of Tsushima Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 compared to other games released in 2024 is without a doubt a masterpiece. HOWEVER... Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 compared to far older games like Gears of War from 2006 is pretty lackluster and has lots of room for improvement -> 5.5/10 Lol Sony needs to stop sniffing their own farts, their IQ is crashing so hard they are gonna ruin the whole company. |
| I don't really have a dark side when it comes to real life unless you count intrusive thoughts. But like.... anime doesn't really trigger that, like at all, not even a little. |

| It always does, I try to keep the power kept away, but whenever I start to watch an anime, my dark side can't control itself, my eyes turn into a dark red and I start to unleash my inner powers, destroying everything in my path to reach my maximum alpha, unleashing all of the pain and anger that had been locked away for so long... Just kidding, probably rarely or something, I just watch anime casually, like any other form of media, it doesn't really influence me that much. |

| Influence? Nah. Might inform you of some stuff you didn't know about yourself I suppose. |
| Sure I guess anime can influence your dark side if consumed without moderation but so can anything else in life. |

I have seen teenagers who think they are Johan or Ayanokouji
| @Sorachin You mind elaborating that a bit? Im curious how those people act lol |
| What? How is the latest SoL or Harem going to have the visceral emotional impact to unleash the Darkside? Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice. Pro top. The Darkside is not only more powerful but also easier to use because it is a willing participant, and you are not controlling it. |

| @IpreferEcchi Yeah, like CGDCT watchers shouldn't be around kids. |
| Only if you're easily influenced by outside media, I guess. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I have a bit of a pervy streak that I feel like anime enables from time to time. |
Take care of yourself |

@Zimmu Sorry for the late reply, I was busy. You may not be aware of this because you don't get much exposure through social media, but the point is that there are teenagers who mimic the behaviors of these characters because they want to look cool, badass, etc. I can even show you videos I saw that teach you how to be like Light, Ayanokouji, etc. It's a teenager thing, I understand their thought process; they are similar to those kids who imitate cartoon heroes.
| @Sorachin You may not be aware of this because you don't get much exposure through social media Yeah I don't follow anything anime related on my social media because I don't want to see braindead people like them I can even show you videos I saw that teach you how to be like Light, Ayanokouji, etc. Lol I actually have seen one that teach you how to be like Ayanokoji on my YT feed a while back, but ain't no way I was gonna click on it so thats why Im curious how those ppl tried to imitate him |
| Not really, but after Catching up to the Overlord LN's, I did experience way less empathy, felt more bold and free 🤔 |
