| I can say that Anime is one type of literature and can influence people with values and ideas. But is it okay to act like Anime characters by their views in life. I copy Hachiman to be a pessimistic narcissist and some more. |

| If people feel no shame while imitate the personalities and ideas of members of korean bands, i think there is nothing wrong with anime either. |
 |
| Ill just say that acting like Hachiman is rather stupid and I would suggest you stop doing that tbh |
 |
| It’s generally fine. however, it kinda depends on who you imitate |
| Meh, that's all subjective. We, humans, are the creation of our environment. If that includes animation, then so be it. There are some epic quotes that can be used in real life. An example of such a is quote: "The only ones that should kill are those who are prepared to be killed." (Lelouch Vi Britannia) |

I just think that I don't want to deal with these people. |

@yuccasnpk I just made it a PTW. I don't really know maybe some shorts from the show. |

| The only thing that I act from Hachiman is thinking that I'm better than these people who are sheep to dumb trends and annoying and non-sense views in life that they are proud of. I just don't want to deal with these people. |

| feels like everyone thinks they're hachiman yeah i think it's fine to do it to some extent if you want, just depends how far you go. Any significant changes in the way you talk or dress will probs come back to haunt you later though |
| If you're using characters as a sort of base to reflect on your own personality to try to understand the world in a more meaningful way, that's kinda what the point of fiction is, so, eh, go for it. If you're just looking for an excuse to be a twat, then no. Stop that. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

Any significant changes in the way you talk or dress will probs come back to haunt you later though I will never talk like a fictional character ever in my life and I would never dress as them as well. I'm not the type to engage in embarrassing moments like that. |

I'm not saying that it should be deep but people overdo things and it loses the fun of it.

Love-Shonen said: @despairdoto you seem like such a hopeful person, at least from your profile and picture. Don't let the Internet turn you into a hateful one is all I am going to say. You can add me to friends and discuss this matter privately, if you wish so. If not - very well. That will be all from me for now. It does not bother me anyways. lol I understand where people are coming from in the internet anyways and I don't have any personal problem or feud with anyone IRL or in the net. I jsut feel like I have to address my opinion and this is the perfect platform for it. Thanks for the advice though. |

| I don't give a shit because no one knows I watch anime, but the people who intentionally copy anime characters traits in public, are the people who give anime fans a bad name. They are why most people in the west think we are fucking creepy weirdos. Other than conventions I would advise people to not do that, but I ain't stopping no body from doing what they want. Can't avoid the consequences though. |
| ofc it is 'okay', as in not being against the law or morally wrong. But not being wrong doesn't mean it can't be obnoxious, like most fake personalities are. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I think it's fine if that character is what person strives to be. People were doing it with real people possibly since the dawn of humanity, so I see no reason for it to be wrong when done with a fictional characters. If that helps us to be better people. In terms of fictional characters, people are doing it for centuries with the Bible for Christianity, and other religions have their own alternatives. If that's acceptable, and I think it is, then anime characters are as well. It can make people better, which should be our goal, to be good people. Of course if one chooses a bad character, or someone with attitude that no one should strive to emulate, it's a questionable choice, but it's a valid choice anyway. I don't have much experience with Hachiman beyond what I heard of him, as I haven't seen Oregairu. While he doesn't seems like a nice person to have around, as long as one does it fully aware of that, because that's who they wanna be, I say it's fine. Still, choosing a good character is better option, imo. |

I myself as well it would be pretty weird to copy what exactly they do and I think it is pretty weird as well. |

I'm just wondering, do you consciously think "what would Hachiman think/feel in this situation" and then model your own behaviour on that? Or do you just sympathize with his world view? |

I jsut feel like I have to address my opinion and this is the perfect platform for it. Thanks for the advice though. You're not going to have it good with a cute profile picture on the Internet. You are young now but your nervous system won't always be as good as it is now. Meaning, eventually you'll get sick of all the hate that brews on the Internet. The people that say "there is no love" have been as cute and as hopeful as you are now, they've lost the fire. Why? They've met far too many ugly souls. And my advice is actually to protect yourself and avoid places like these before the darkness consumes you. You don't look like someone who would have trouble finding friends, normal people to talk to both in real life and Internet. Just worried, I guess. Wanted to follow-up a bit more, but this is the last time, my promise. Well, maybe there is lesson for me, too - don't be worried because essentially no one pays attention to advices and just learns from their mistakes. I love to go into arguments and I think I can know when to stop when it goes out of proportion. As I learned from my business track I have to know who I'm dealing with and how to deal with them. I think it is okay to worry and it is a rightfully moral thing to do. |

Or do you just sympathize with his world view? I don't think like that actually, what comes after that is I think for myself only and make decisions on my own and not with some fictional character. Yeah, in some situations I think that I imitate the character's view on a certain situation. |

COYS said: It’s generally fine. however, it kinda depends on who you imitate also depend on the situation.. for example if you feel threaten you can go full Bakugou |
 |
| Mostly, if you pull out of the "anime-ish" stuff, they have normal traits. Being arrogant, selfish, shy, try to always look at the bright side... all these are real traits. As long as you don't really copy them... Though I wonder, why you should copy any of them? What's wrong with being you? And why pessimistic narcissist from all of them? |
 |
| No, because its not a good idea to imitate fictional characters in general. Be yourself. |
| No because you would look like a retard |
| 한 번만 살지만 제대로 하면 한 번이면 충분해요 |
| "Monkey see, monkey do" was never a good social model. |
| I think as long as it's not harmful, obnoxious, and reasonably applicable/appropriate to real life, then why not. |
| Generally, no. If we said yes, then that means we'd have to accept all imitations. If we let people imitate, say, Haruhi Suzumiya, then society would become 10x more toxic in the span of a day. |

| I agree that anime and manga are another form of literature / art and if I can find inspiring quotes in literature, I can find some in anime too. Tbh I have a little quirk to collect them from movies, novels and anime and read them here and there. Most inspiring anime so far was Natsume Yuujinchou and this series is quite meaningful to me. Especially this was so sweet and it never hurts to read it before a new year starts: And there is the difference: Oregairu was hilarious and snarky and had some good relationship developments, but I would never see Hachiman as some kind of a "role model". In the series it's also pretty clear that he is bitter and not right or on a moral high ground. I can be cynical and pessimistic too, but I feel like 10-12 years too old to call other people sheeps. Don't feel like a special snowflake anymore. ;) |
