I'm pretty sure all scientists can agree that biological evolution is a pretty airtight theory. If there are any who disagree I'd like to see some. |

| I respect those people; because despite society thinking it is strange; they don't change and stay what they really are I also plan to spend valentine day with my waifu and of course I'll celebrate her birthday as well |
| Ehh. People celebrate the "birthdays" of literally anything anyway. Don't really see how a fictional character is any different to other"normal" shit that gets an annual celebration. |

| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| I heard people even celebrate the founding dates of countries. No thanks, I'd rather go partying with my waifu. |

ichigo03 said: I didn't know that otaku did this until late last year but in Japan, some otaku celebrate the birthdays of their favorite characters in grand fashion. http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2013/01/16/otaku-still-celebrating-mio-akiyamas-birthday/ And so do girls: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2014/02/03/fujoshi-celebrate-rin-matsuokas-birthday-freely/ What do you guys think about this? Otaku are considered pathetic losers in that country.So it doesn't surprise me. |
| I legitimately pity those people in the links... this is waaay too obsessive. |

| I think we all to some degree accept anime characters as real people(or people that exist in seperate reality). Otherwise we couldn't enjoy watching anime, being aware of how it's actually all fake and the imagination of some guy. I too think that those guys are overdoing it but also I think we should be more understanding to them as fellow anime wievers. |
| People do that? Never knew ahah Well... If they have fun doing it, why not. I wouldn't do it though. |
| This is going through my mind while reading through those links: "Nooooooo. C'mon, nooooooooooooooo". |
| I don't even know what to think... But the ones in the links are way over the top to me. I mean, I'd happy set all my wallpapers to celebrate one of there birthdays but nothing more really. Nothing weird about it, but some people get too obsessed in my opinion. |
| Really? Wow I didn't know that. Well, to each his or her own I guess. |
| Kuroookoooooo-chin! |
| I just hope they also selebrate their friends birthdays aswell. And as long as they have fun with stuff like that and don't forget about real people - its all ok. |
 |
| I don't remember the birthday of my real life friends, let alone my waifus. Heck, I sometimes even forget when my own birthday is. What was it again >.> |
 |
| I think "Wow what a waste of Birthday cake." Body pillows are covered with enough frosting. :/ |
| I dont mind. I make a party every time they launch an ep of hunter x hunter. |
 |
| Whatever floats their boat. As long as they aren't imposing their celebration on other people then it's completely fine. |

| Pathetic. |

| They're going a bit overboard. |
| I mean, some people celebrate birthdays of celebrities so isn't this the same thing? I don't celebrate them personally but if other people feel the need to then let them, as long as they're having fun. |
| Well, they have nothing better to do, I suppose. |
| This is why casual anime watchers get stereotyped... Whatever though, it's sad, but they can do what they want... |
YorozuyaGinSan said: I honestly don't care. If they want to hold characters depicted in a visual medium of entertainment close to them then all the power to em. Try to be a little tolerant. pretty much this. i have nothing against it. |
| Whoever's getting these pics need btr things to do as well. |

lahzor said: This is why casual anime watchers get stereotyped... Whatever though, it's sad, but they can do what they want... More like they get stereotyped from people who have a misconception that teenagers and adults aren't allowed to enjoy what they view as children's cartoons. |
| The shrines they have with their 50 clones of x figures is kinda overwhelming but I think it's pretty creative. For me, I usually do graphic edits. |
| It's nothing bad see how some people celebrates that, but only remember that has to be more than enough maybe that thing of making party and buy a cake it's exaggerated, but if you fon't fo that I don't se what's the big deal of this thing. |
| This is creepy as fuck, all those guys need to get laid in their pathetic lives already! |
I luv u |
| I wouldn't exactly call that my cup of tea but if it makes them happy, then who am I to judge? Anyone who thinks they have a right to condemn those kinds of folks as beneath them or as beings to pity should be more than willing to accept that same condemnation from people who finds the stuff you do strange, like watching Chinese cartoons or whatever closet hobby you might have going on. Besides, weirdness is a relative thing. I'm sure someone could probably find someone else in this universe with a habit so vastly different from what we're used to seeing that the otaku in question here would seem extremely tame in comparison. And heck, at least these guys have good taste~ |

| A little bit weird but whatev. |
| This is just another example of the obsessive fan culture that accompanies anime and manga, which I find interesting to observe. This particular activity, by itself, is basically harmless; if people enjoy doing it, I don't see a problem. Yes, I find it a bit weird, but I do things that others might find weird, so I have no reason to complain. However, this activity isn't likely to be well accepted or understood in the broader culture, so people who do it should be prepared for bad reactions if they make their celebrations public. (This is simply the reality of life these days; the bad reactions might not be justified, but they will happen nonetheless.) This sort of activity becomes a problem if it is part of a larger obsession that causes a person to become divorced from reality, leading to serious real-world problems, such as debt, poverty, difficulty in social interactions, and the inability to complete school or hold down a job. |
| It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. |
Toshiru said: I just hope they also selebrate their friends birthdays aswell. And as long as they have fun with stuff like that and don't forget about real people - its all ok. You're implying these weirdos have friends. |

| I actually think it's pretty cute! |
Aoba said: I actually think it's pretty cute! Saika deserves a birthday. @ OP - To answer with a different perspective, I honestly see no problem with it. It encourages creativity and lets people have fun with their hobbies. It's no different from the people on the house remodel shows on TV that empty thousands into making their Hawaii summer house kitchen look more kawaii. |

| What makes a thing wrong or right? It's just a matter of perspective. The majority decides what is acceptable and what is not. I think what they do doesn't harm anybody, and if they're happy about it, let them do it. Most of the people (who call themselves "normal") would probably say that what they're doing is useless and is a waste of time, but like what I said, it's just a matter of perspective. What doesn't please you may please another person. That's what I think about it. |
| They are celebrating a birthday of a fictional character. Celebrating the birthday of an actor/voice actor/author would be one thing, but celebrating the birthday of their "waifu" is pathetic. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| A small celebration I would be fine with, but a cake? I don't know why you would hold a birthday party for a person that isn't even present- that kind of defeats the purpose. |
