How does one fully self-actualize as an otaku?Is watching Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, and Azumanga Daioh mandatory?Am I required to purchase figures, tankobon and an IKEA BILLY bookcase?Is there a recommended curriculum or do I just keep buying things until I feel complete?
>>51348318>watching>purchase>buyingYou are not an otaku, you are just a consoomer.
>>51348318you gotta drink a gallon of suntory toki and climb shinjuku nomura tower cosplaying as jūbei kibagami there is no other way good luck
>>51348318You posted 3DPD. This automatically disqualifies you as a 2D Otaku.
>>51348318If you're viewing this or any hobby as some sort of consumerist checklist, just save yourself the trouble and tap out now.
Creating/producing and the mandatory organic passion to do so in the first place.You don't even have to be talented/skilled, "producing" could be as simple as taking part in some discussion of something overlooked, forgotten, or an ancient fandom. Just these theoreticals have formed frameworks/ideas for works of media that would themselves carry on a similar legacy.Also using the...unique perspectives and curcumstances that tend to follow this subculture to create something that it in itself perpetuates these kind of questions and media.
You don't self-actualize as an otaku until you are fully content with yourself and you feel like a god sitting in your dark basement lair listening to 15+ year old doujin music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWHGjptbrJo
>>51348318you need zero validation online
>>51348318What's up with that censorship?
>>51348320Comsumptive otaku are the backbone of the industry, you dumbo>>51348318You've never sent a death threat. You can't call yourself an otaku
>>51351135*Consumptive
>>51350979You don't want to know.
>>51351135>Comsumptive otaku are the backbone of the industry, you dumboYou do not become otaku by consuming and buying random stuff. You buy random stuff because you are an otaku.This is like asking, "If I save up enough money to rent a yacht for a day, will I become a rich person?"
Learn Aikijujutsu. Wear a gi and hakama. Furnish your surroundings with Japanese styled decor. Enjoy onions sauce with a dash of sake. Fall off a tall building.
>>51351178the 's' word is filtered? huh.
>>51351159People don't fork out big bucks for stuff they don't already love
>>51348318Otaku really just means hobbyist. A person who dedicates significant amount of time to his hobby. You like trains? You're train otaku.
>>51351186And yet OP wants to do just that. Which is what this thread is about. What's your point?
>>51351193So OP is an otaku, not just some consumer like you said
>>51351202You are not the brightest bulb in the box.
>>51348318WowThat is one ugly and uncanny individual.
>>51351690wdym, she looks cute for a 3DPD.
>>51351690Filters, anon
being an "otaku" means stumbling upon some random lolige CG while fapping, genuinely wanting to know what it is from, looking at both it and its artists galleries and putting the game itself on the list and going over its VNDB page, including other games by the same circle or artist depending on your angle, all while fapping, and all this making you appreciate the fap far more to the point of finding it spiritually fulfilling
I'm gonna need you to do it, OP.
>>51350979probably school uniform logo dox preventative
>>51351840She looks like a reject from the alt idols thread
>>51352664I don't know much about idols.
>>51352685The alt idol thread is where they post ugly idols and ugly lolis while pretending that they are idols. After reverse image searching, OP does seem to be actually from one of those groups posted there. The idols in that thread really do have a tangible fugly look about them that you can just tell on sight, huh.
>>51353292Idk, I have seen mainstream idols that look worse than this. She doesn't look bad desu, but maybe it's just my taste.
you don't have to be a buyfag
TEN DOLLARS?!? FOR THAT COFFEE??
>>51350979StalkinguThey're taught early how to prevent it
>>51361159I hope Houko-chan ends up like Ms. Baker...
>>51361816
>>51353292I’ve tried to upload some cute ones over the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the alt idols thread doesn’t really care about idols other than the Debians and a few heroines idols. It’s kinda funny how narrow is their knowledge on the chika/alt sceneThe cute ones get written off as discount AKB:dead:
>>51361823Ms. Baker I'm afraid you are mistaken, I speak fluent English and attended the AP classes all throughout high school. I do not need talked down to like I have down syndrome.For Japanese, however...On a semi-related note, I randomly caught porn of Erin Esurance the other day for the first time in like 15 years, was very odd.
>>51361829
>>51361844you have made me so fucking happy
>>51361844That song is a fucking BANGER
>>51361858It really is.
>>51361853
>>51351186I wish this were the case. I've seen far too many people who buy a fuck load of figures and have never consumed a single piece of the media.Honestly one of the most demoralizing things to come across
>>51361883What's this image and response supposed to mean?
>>51348318do you even know what does otaku mean?
>>51348318If you're even asking that question, it means that you're not one.
