So I am considering buying an anime body pillow. As a single 21 year old male, I get lonely. I just want to hug it when I sleep, not bring it out to dates or smash with it. When I come home from life's stressors, I just want to hug the pillow. None of that normie stuff on the internet is what I intend to do. But they cost $50. Is it worth it to buy anime pillows? (I'm considering Emilia from re zero, just in case you're wondering. No opinions on my choice, please.)

I'm okay with body pillows. I mean I haven't personally bought any, but I don't judge anyone for having them.
I wouldn't think it's worth buying myself. Figurines are better imo, but they aren't cuddly, so it won't be what you want. For your purposes, body pillows wouldn't be a bad idea.

I have an Alex Jones body pillow, so I can't judge.

I mean you could just hug a regular pillow or a large soft toy there much cheaper and you may have one lying around.

It's totally cool, it's your money you get to spend however you want. But don't let anyone know, people are judgmental and it's very important to keep up appearances in real life

I think it's a smart way to magically disappear our money. But I know it's all a conspiracy so I don't even think of buying them. But this is only my opinion. If you have $50 to spare then buy it but I don't think you will stay long on this decision. As stress buster it's not a very good idea unless you are seriously obsessed with your Emilia. Pillows are only pillows. You sleep on them and having some anime character on it doesn't make it any different.

Then just buy normal pillow instead, they are much cheaper and only lacks any anime chara pics. Also when you hug the pillow your room is dark anyway, can't really see what you're hugging.

I think if it’ll make you happy, go for it. Who am I to judge?

I’m a normie with just a regular body pillow, it comforts me when I sleep because I’m lonely. It also really helps with my back because I’m mostly a side sleeper.

I also bought a pregnancy pillow because I was feeling impulsive on Amazon, I highly recommend it. Even if you’re never going to get pregnant, like me. Shizz is comf af

I personally see them as any other anime merchandise, except for their larger size. I've never owned one and never intended to. I see there's nothing wrong liking and wanting to buy them, but to me, they're just body pillows with a specific texture.

Owning them is completely normal to any anime fans, but non-anime fans may find it weird, so if you're not living alone, you might want to reconsider this. After all, your money, your life, your image, so it's your choice.

First of all you should get one of Satella, not Emilia. Second I want a body pillow as well. Nothing bad about having one. I have just one issue, and that is, can you switch out the filling with different material, you have at home.

I think it's a very bad idea. If you ever want to have a relationship with a (real life) non super otaku girl than don't do it. But if you are fine with your waifus, and never having non-otaku friends over then it doesn't matter.

There are other ways to fight this feeling of loneliness that affects us all. The best answer is probably not: buy anime merchandise. The body pillow might help you in the short term but hurt you in the long term.

If I went to my friend’s house and saw a body pillow, I’d probably just say “cool bro”. I personally don’t find any problems with body pillows but I’m sure there are a lot of people, non weebs especially, who think it’s disgusting.

I’d say go ahead and buy it but understand that a lot of people are probably gonna look down on you if they found out.

I have no desire to buy an anime related cover, but I wouldn't mind a body pillow since I already sleep with 3 or 4 pillows in my bed. Pillows are comfy, and I don't need an anime cover on them to 'hug' them while I fall asleep. But at the same time I don't really want to spend money on a body pillow when I already have a bunch of pillows.
I probably regret this post by now.

It seems a bit cringy, but people should be allowed to enjoy what they like if it does not hurt anyone. Never got a body pillow yet so I am not too familiar with them.

I wouldn't buy one myself, but if someone were to buy this for me, I wouldn't turn it down, though I'd most likely just pin it to my wall as if it were a poster.

I personally don't care what you use your money on. If you want to buy a body pillow to be your waifu go ahead. If you don't have sex with it you can at least spoon it while intimately whispering in its ear.

That's cringe bro. A pillow won't cure your loneliness. It is your money and all, but, if you're that lonely, you should look for a girlfriend.

For me personally, I wouldn't pay that kind of money for a body pillow. I'm also not the type of person who would buy it. There's nothing wrong with liking female anime characters, but I feel like it would be an extra thing for me to actually buy a pillow of an anime character just to cuddle with. However, you can choose to use your money however you want. I just think that's a lot of money to pay.

Honestly, I think if your reason to buy it is because you feel lonely, there are better things to do in this case. You could try to make friends and do something physical and real with them? But, if loneliness is just an excuse because you actually want a body pillow, that's fine, just buy it.

Personally I find anime body pillows / dakimakura to be hella cringy, especially if they're the lewd types or if anyone who owns them does... things with them... look, idk, I never understood their appeal in the first place.
Go get one if you really like them though, just don't embarrass yourself in public with it or whatever I've seen in the occasional weeaboo picture.

I don't need to imagine that because I am that due to COVID quarantine. Even so, I'm on the side of not buying anything for masturbatory purposes since my left hand, pirated eroge and the occasional lotion and Sharpie that happen to be laying around work just fine.

Owning a body pillow is when you know you've ascended to the highest level of degeneracy.

But really, I don't care if someone has/ wants one; however, I don't have any desire to own one myself. Overall, I'm indifferent on them.

Easy; the dakimakura 'cause it's cheaper than the combination of a fleshlight and any VR setup. I'm just not the sex toy buying type unless I'm with a girl that wants to spice things up, or say that she's willing to do anal if I'm willing to get pegged, which I am.

Also, I'ma say you cappin' like you never experimented with Sharpies before.
