| I have argument with my friend recently and he claimed that he don't want to marry with real girl, he want 2d girl or something like that, and of course I straight away said "that's creepy". maybe it' kind of harsh but i'm not regret saying that. there is also some case too where I don't have any of anime figure or toys which he got plenty of it. don't get me wrong I love the anime but it just i don't have enough money to buy it (ofcouse at the same time I aslo think it is waste of money) and he replied "what? You call yourself otaku?" and "You are not otaku if you don't have this kind of things." " you are not real anime lover" - something like that... so? what your thought on this? i have to admit it crazy and stupid. I'm an big fans of anime and otaku but to go that level is really too far...to the point that i reach conclusion that there are two type of otaku...Crazy otaku and Mature otaku....yeah mature otaku is to know the limit between reality and fiction. and at the same time I want to ask you all, what kind of otaku I am? |
| You are only an otaku if you are Japanese. |
| I think you should A. Distance yourself from that friend B. Not care what people think of you. Just do what makes you happy. |
| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |
| Okay... so if this is real (pretty sure this is just bait) just uh... never talk to that person ever again. |
| i will give you a benefit of the doubt on this your friend is taking this fandom thing too far might even call him an extremist fan |
| You're just a normal anime fan while your friend here is a big weeb and you shouldn't care when he said you're not an otaku I mean being an otaku is not something you should proud of Also "mature" and "crazy"? I think you mean here is an otaku and a weeb |

| Your friend is living evidence that anime was a mistake. /s |

| I mean I once wanted to marry my bed but the alarm kept ringing so I had to break up with it. |
| You are the type of otaku who likes to lie. |

| He's right you know, how dare you claim to be one of us yet you don't have figurines and various other merchandise. I don't know where to start on your 3DPD... you've been indoctrinated by the real world too much. Smh |

| You are the type of fan who enjoys watching anime, he just has an extra hobby of collecting things. |
 |
| If someone has to go out of their way to boast about how "otaku" they are, then they're trying too hard. Way too hard. I still cringe to this day when I think about people outside of Japan referring to themselves as such. |

Reality and fiction are separate, and your friend is separating them, literally referenced that separation by referring to it as 2D, which from my experience, literally just is code for a fictional animated character Being into 2D doesn't really mean a loss of a grip on reality and fiction for fuck's sake, neither does merch collecting or anything of that nature that you brought up I think you are strongly overreacting and being more than a bit presumptuous tbh, should step back a bit and just ease up Tell him to fuck off if he begins on some spiel of LEL YOU'RE NOT A TRUE ANIME FAN IF YOU DON'T DO THINGS HOW I DO THEM though, that's pretty much the biggest problem I see out of everything you outlined, not only because of what's being asserted, but merely going "u no true fan" in of itself is...eghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Why would a sentence like that ever leave someone's mouth, it's so stupid |

| First, you straight away said he's creepy for having a thing for 2D girls. I don't have one myself, but I'd rather transport my consciousness into a void than date any real girl (simply cause most girls nowadays are not worth it). Second, you're not an otaku cause you're not Japanese. You're a weeb, like most peeps around this place. Of course, buying stuff like that is pretty fanboish, and he's definitely wrong you're not an anime fan cause you don't have that petty stuff, but I bet he said that to get back at you for calling him creepy xD |
| Silently waiting for WW3 to come and kill everyone while I die smoking weed and drinking coke 🚬👌 |
| When people say "You're not a real fan of X" then that person is being really childish. You're an anime fan if you watch and enjoy anime, that's all there is to it. You don't need to buy stuff to be a "real" one. |
| Your friend is just being way too much of a critic. Take me for an example...I've been watching Anime for pretty much my entire life yet, I don't own any figures or merchandise in general. (If you count DVD's & Blu-rays and merchandise that'd be it.) I think if you take what he says personally you probably shouldn't hang around him anymore. You're an Anime fan because you watch the series/movies. That's all there is to it. |
| Your friend need to go out asap. You don't have to prove anything to anime, it's just some weird show. |
    |
| There's no such thing as a "real" or "fake" fan. If you watch and enjoy anime, you're a fan. That's all there is to it. The notion that you must own a certain amount of merchandise to be a "real fan" is just childish gatekeeping. |
MahoMaho88 said: You're friend sounds like a fucking weeb, lmao. But he is right, 2D > 3D You’re right, he is a dirty weeb. But if you think 2D girls are better than 3D girls, you’re no better than him ._. |
| Your friend is annoying. Leave him. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| You are yourself. Your friend is himself. There is no need to define some pigeonholes and then worry about whether you belong in them. Just continue doing whatever you want to do, and don't worry about things like that. |
logopolis said: You are yourself. Your friend is himself. There is no need to define some pigeonholes and then worry about whether you belong in them. Just continue doing whatever you want to do, and don't worry about things like that. Pretty much this Gatekeeping frustrates me. Surely you want what you love to grow. And while I don't understand wanting to marry a 2D girl over a real one, that's their prerogative I guess |
  300th pun xchyssa said: You got some nice viewpoint there, I always know I can't fool you with my sharpest tagging skills |
| You like anime = you are an anime fan. Simple as that. |
 |
| Your friend has made the fatal error of using an interest as a substitute for an identity. It's quite common in nerd communities like ours. Watch what you like. Buy stuff only if you can reasonably afford it and you genuinely like having it. Tell the gate-keepers to fuck themselves. |

| if he said that it means he's a shitty human being and you should stop befriending him. I hate people who say this kind of thing. " a real... would do that" like who the fuck are you to determine if I'm a real [anything] or not you fucking asshole tell him that(more nicely than I did) and depending on his answer stop or continue hanging out with him. |
| The only one who can decide if you are an anime fan is yourself...no one else can decide it for you |
 "I want to show that woman the true Yoshikage Kira. I want her to hear how I feel deep inside. That I want to take your slender neck into these hands and strangle you to death." |
| just introduce your friend to some girls with real personality, real life and real body. and you're the type of fan that should be proud with yourself for staying sane & healthy |
| Your friend is close to becoming a weeaboo |
| I don't wanna be called a fan because this word smells like some weeb shit. Leave it to dumb fanboys. I'd better call myself an anime gourmet (not elitist though, elitists are cancer, too) As for idiots who have an obsession - they are sick and pathetic |

| Actually umm you only get your otaku certificate after you get Japanese citizenship and marry an anime girl but you gotta get it on paper and make it official from a legal standpoint otherwise you're a poser, so your friend is misinformed as well please pass this info onto him |
