| ^ For example, if you wanted to get a normal person to think yanderes were perfectly normal in the head? ;3 Or if you wanted to subvert convince a person into thinking anime like Princess Princess were not weird, and an absolutely normal form of entertainment. How would you go about doing this? Would kidnapping and attempting to induce Stockholm Syndrome be necessary? |

| Totally possible. You just have to demonstrate it to them and provide a perfect example :P |

| I'm pretty convinced that weird shit is weird and there isn't a need to try to convince others that they aren't. It just depends on how open minded people are and how much they're willing to accept a form of entertainment despite its weirdness. I mean, the majority of anime fans are okay with watching giant mechs fight, surreal action sequences, absurd comedy, obscene ecchi and the strangest character archetypes. I think you don't need to convince anyone about these things if they're experimental and accepting enough to enjoy anime. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| There's no way you can convince me that " yanderes were perfectly normal in the head". I guess that makes me a normal person. |

| the ONLY REASON anyone thinks ANYTHING is weird is because we don't admit things if everyone admitted everything bout themselves, im pretty sure we'd realize were all normal lol sometimes you just gotta be the first person to talk or you won't know whos secretly into what |

| I will not be convinced that Yandere's aren't batshit crazy psychopaths I wouldn't want near me, but I don't know about others. As long as people just find it weird and don't actively treat you differently because of that there's no need to intervene and try to force your taste on them. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Dude, thinking that a psychopath is normal will never be normal. Liking an anime that is considered weird is always perfectly normal. I mean , I'm not sure how to answer this question. Weird is weird. It's also subjective, so anyone who likes Cat Soup is weird to me. I might be weird to someone else because I liked FLCL.. |

No, it's not "liking" an anime. It's having them believe "the events that occur in this anime are not weird at all." If I see something that I've never seen (or I think I'll never see) in real life, it's weird. Anything abnormal is weird. So if they come across a show where a woman on a vespa hits an 11 year old kid with a guitar which causes a bump which then grows into a fucking robot, they'll think it's weird because it's not something that'll ever happen in real life & it defies common logic. So getting them to think that it's normal is basically convincing them that stuff like this happens everyday & anyone with an IQ above retardation level won't believe that.. |
MortalMelancholy said: No, it's not "liking" an anime. It's having them believe "the events that occur in this anime are not weird at all." I think you have to go slowly about that. No rush, warm them up towards the idea. Start with something less weird and pull them out of their comfort zone a little by little, then their border between what is normal and what is weird will slowly start to blend. Finally they won't consider it weird at all because their thinking will change by experiencing weirdness in small dosages. As for Princess Princess, watching Ouran (weird school with weird guys who appear cosplaying as women at times) and Baka to test (ultimate trap Hideyoshi), plus maybe some innocent BL, could serve as desensitization stimuli. |
| But why would I do that? Weird is cool. |
 |
| this is such a stupid question.. it all depends on the type of person and who the person in question is |

| Okay guys. Maybe it wasn't as obvious as I thought, but the general idea we're looking for is what brainwashing methods to use. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I respect people opinion, but no matter how many interpretations you give that shit like Utsu Musume Sayuri, I would never believe stuff like that is normal. |
 |
| Well if u can convince me into (re)watching Parasyte, u can convince anyone C: |
| Yeah it is possible i guess. Just explain them why it's normal |
 |
| Yanderes aren't normal in the head..that's..like the whole point behind the archetype. I don't get what you are asking. |
 |
| 2 possibility. 1.if they "feel" it's weird, then it's weird to them. there is no way you can change that. 2.but if they "think" it's weird because they feel something is off about the thing that they think it's weird; just a little bit of an explanation, you probably can change it :) |
 |
| there's no way, they will just rekt u as oddball ex: If they say you ur body pillow(the weeb ones) is normal in their mind probably are dying of laugh and feeling sorry for u. keep it personal or to others that has the sames likes as you |

| Normal people worry me. Seriously. I have this colleague, who tried to convince me her 6 yo son wets the sheets, because the sheets in his kindergarten have anime prints, which supposedly 'scare' him. In his sleep. Currently, he poops in his pants 'because' of on-line games he and her husband play. Not because the little shit is too lazy to take his shit to the bathroom. Curiously, after undergoing some arguing on anime, she sent me a streaming link to Inside Out. I assume it was her idea to guide me back on the righteous road of 'normal' animation. People who are genuinely interested in understanding 'weird' stuff, don't throw labels and preconceived thoughts in your face. Explaining begins when one is asking questions, not answers - be it on anime or everything else. |
| Isn't calling them "normal" being subjective, too? Anyway, you can try convincing ppl, but I say people have to see things for themselves, especially when it comes to anime. You can introduce an idea or convince them that something is perfectly normal, and they may consider it as they watch more anime. |

| Then you wouldn't call them normal, so no. |

| Why do people have to have the same like mind as you? I think it's more weird to think people aren't aloud to find things weird to them. |

| Well, first of all -Senpai- said: There's no way you can convince me that " yanderes were perfectly normal in the head". Second of all MortalMelancholy said: Ayyyyyy, das pretteh goooooodZ-Dante said: Totally possible. You just have to demonstrate it to them and provide a perfect example :P Yeah, but And I don't think Buzz was ever able to convince Woody that he could fly <.< Third of all "Weird stuff" is subjective to normal people you say? But isn't "Being normal" subjective as well HA, BEAT THAT BOIII |
| gone bai bai |
MortalMelancholy said: Normal implies that you follow the culture you live in's norms. If you follow the norms, you're normal. If you don't, you're not normal. Simple as that.^ For example, if you wanted to get a normal person to think yanderes were perfectly normal in the head? ;3 Or if you wanted to subvert convince a person into thinking anime like Princess Princess were not weird, and an absolutely normal form of entertainment. How would you go about doing this? Would kidnapping and attempting to induce Stockholm Syndrome be necessary? For example, if you live in the US, watching anime isn't really considered normal. But it is normal in the subculture built around it. You want anime culture to be normal? Just change your country's culture. Good luck without conquering it and forcing it Soviet-style, though. |

I am sorry to hear it -_-; Actually, the kid has been under considerable stress because of the divorce of his parents. It has nothing to do with anime or gaming really. Likewise, my passion for anime shall not become a scape goat for other people private problems, especially in the case they are ignorant or obnoxious. Anyway, weird vs. normal debates usually boil down to 'normal' = 'I know better than you'. Which is severely not the case of anime where I live. Most of these concerned parties or parents are not aware they grew up with anime, shown on TV :L |
