The whole cast are otaku and they like his otaku friends and doing cool shit with them. You should rewatch it, but the whole show is basically showing the middle finger to normalfags for making fan of people for liking anime, cosplay, SFX, machines etc but also criticizing the negative aspects of the otaku subculture like hardcore dudes that use otakuism for escapism and detachment from reality, and the show ends with the main character being the king of otaku and making the entire world an otaku paradise.

Just to make sure we're on the same page: waifu isn't a synonynm for "anime female I find marginally appealing at the time" as it has been co-opted by normalfags and seasonal anime watchers.
Waifu is one and only. She who is perfect and irreplaceable such that you love her and hold onto her dearly for many years; her folder upon your hard drive exceeds the material of any other girl by gigabytes and thousands of files. You don't just swap her out like a change of clothes with the coming and going of seasonal anime. Haremfags will make excuses such as "I have too much love to give for a single person" and to them I say they lack the love and devotion for a single girl, much less a harem. If she doesn't drive you with a fervor to draw and write about her or at least surround yourself with her image, then she's not your waifu, she's a floozie.
If you think you have multiple waifus then you haven't found her yet.

Having a waifu… is serious business…

I would take the edgelord nihilism out for a laugh at anyone's expense of the cancer era 100 times out of 100 over the self serious srs bsns types that inevitably, without fail, always devolves into politics.
The only thing that moves on that target is the flavor of politics involved.

The only people who have effectively said "no thank you" to that normalfaggotry were the edgy boys that made chanology unpalatably lame in the eyes of chan culture. A cultural victory.

Listen, nigger, just don't bring normalfaggot politics and topics here. It's literally that simple.

>>11909
Hmm, usually I treat normalfag as a stronger way to say norm, just like normalfaggot is a step up in turn. That's what I assumed happened in >>>/qa/112645 (sorry to point fingers) since generals being chatrooms is such a common talking point and the tone was much more negative than usual. Same for >>>/secret/17687, just a bit of buttupsetness. That and the tech schizo are the only results from recent months:
https://kissu.moe/search.php?board=none&search=normalfag

Now, that aside, if I were to see someone spell out silly memes like that right by the door, I'd assume a penguin of doom situation, in a bad way. It simply runs contrary to imageboard obscurantism, and that's what we're stuck with. I agree with >>11910. In any case, Patchy and Koruri aren't like fat Sanae, they're posted regularly and things would have to go very, very wrong for that to stop being the case. They're not too hard to grasp either, I'd worry more about greeners.

>>11907
I (>>11906) think it's important to mention our memes/inside-jokes because they're one of the easiest things to lose as a community grows. As a real-life example, recently, I've seen people using the term 'normalfag' on Kissu, in lieu of our homegrown variant 'norm'.

I'm not trying to play culture police; that sort of thing is the death knell of a community. Nor am I saying that all of the people doing it are necessarily new users. But I think it's important to the sites identity that we inform new users about elements of our site culture that don't exist elsewhere, so that they're at least aware of them.

Czaks ruda kurwa is the administrator/creator of vichan. On top of that, he is a well known serpent, thief, manipulator, and all around a shit person, much, much worse than Jim, Littlecar and Josh all combined.

In case you don't know, vichan is a polish imageboard with the levels of cancer exceeding reddit, 4ch and tumblr and whatever you can think of. It's basically facebook with "anonymity" at present point. For one, Czaks is advertising a chan/imageboard derivative called Uczuciopedia on his website, which is a facebook page running on stolen polish chan culture original content and memes and run by highschool normalfag chads. He was invited to a party organised by Lanceq, the creator of Uczuciopedia, on which he (czaks) was insulted and made fun of (he wanted to feel like a highschooler chad one more time </3, rip in peace)

Czaks has a history of undermining privacy of the users of his chan, he has also declared vichan "the polish 4chan", he has fucked up karachan a few times (another polish chan, this one is less cancerous and more of a mix of modern day 8ch and old 4ch /b/) and generally assisted in spreading Polish chan OC on mainstream sites like facebook, for cancerous normalfag youth to use and appropriate.

Pic rel is czaks, as you can notice, he is a ginger and has no soul.


I don't think I'll be able to find you anything in english. And not much in polish, unless I find an archived imageboard page, because the good anons don't blog about chans and don't talk about chans outside of chans (Karachan, for example, tries to keep outsiders out so bad that you need special cookies and adblock lines to get in and browse properly). One fact I recall was that he blew all the server money on drugs, (I think it was cocaine?) the money included ad revenue and donations.

My thoughts when this started were: "lol ram xD lmeow"
But now it's: "ruh roh societal collapse ))))))))))))))"

This is going to have immense downstream effects because of how digitized civilization is now.
Consider how bloated the average AAA game is, now factor in increased cost of data storage. These companies invest so much in these games they need massive sales, but how will they get sales when inflation, job loss, and stagnant wages means consumers can't buy. Physical isn't even an option of last resort anymore because they intentionally neglected it to eliminate game ownership.
Part of the reason they bloat so much is so they can hog hard drive space and therefore your attention but this is going to drastically increase the pressure.
Debt can only go so far. Delinqunecies were already increasing.
The used market is going to increase.
If modern hardware becomes too expensive the creative pursuits will be monopolized. You will either need to rent time at a modern workstation just to run Photoshop 9000 or pay to generate AI "art".
I know /v/ likes to make fun of normalfags consuming modern games running at sub 30 fps but the quality of everything is going to freefall now.
Obviously they're trying to centralize computing and ultimately everything in the hands of the few but things are getting dicey now. I think they're pushing things too fast and something is going to break. The stress is on all levels now. I think the mental health ads they show on TV is an unintentional acknowledgement.
If AI becomes profitable it means the end of human labor and everything falls apart, but if it fails then the wheels come off and it crashes.

The one saving grace is I think people are going to start moving backwards and sideways. So we're going to see more linux adoption and more old hardware usage and a shift to retro. There's a lot to think about here.

>>5064
It's sorta true, but its for retards who don't know any better (like most normalfags) that fall for the spookiness.
I wouldn't use XP as a modern desktop, especially connected to the Internet.

>Social media is not a zero-sum game.
Are you sure? "Attention economy" is a common term, is it not?. Free time is not an unlimited resource. Technically you can sign up all you want but if someone is spending hours watching tiktoks they are probably not also spending hours on youtube. There is a reason algorithms deprioritize posts with links. There is a reason every social media "app" goes through crabification into the tiktok-twitter hybrid monstrosity to keep you from going to the other one. The whole thing is predictably very centered on capturing as much attention and time as possible to serve more ads or political goals(twitter). You say it's because of laziness and yeah I agree, normalfags are the way they are, but that's not really the argument though.
>Bluesky has tens of millions of users; I'd scarcely call that "beaten out". Sure Twitter has more users, but that's because it had a 20 year head-start.
Sure. By beaten out I mean it didn't dethrone even though there was that moment where it seemed it might. Now it's been stagnated at 30mil zone for months. I use bluesky myself, the japanese userbase is pretty big. A weak algorithm means soft isolation of the japanese cluster from the rest, the way it's supposed to be.

>I do wonder if this might just lead to a resurgence of the "old internet" if the more savvy people move over to Tor or I2P and focus on authentic, uncensored user-created hobbyist content again
I know I wouldn't move over until more of my favorite non-backed up web content is scrubbed and/or I'd have to face the blocks and ID verifications myself. And then again, I'd be only motivated to use niconico and YouTube alt frontends until everything gets worse and I'll just clam up and try creating content just for myself, without publishing it except maybe to some obscure place (can't wait!).
People like to idolize closed curated communities, but I really had enough of community cultures being at least 75% implicit gatekeeping and gatekeeping-centered implicit consensus signaling, I really got used to the possibility of being a non-committal, no human-perception-trace user where the inherent insignificance and depersonalization within the nature of appearing to systems and other people is a better anonymizer than the reliance that, in the more personalized environment, some people who could try doxxing you won't get into some stuck-up obsessive schizophrenic moods to try scraping the breadcrumbs over years, for no reason or for reason like they felt I didn't do the consensus signaling hard enough (social meatspace brain cancer type).
Know the onion model layers of defense? Big tech algos have you at being passively exposed and detected, closed networks (even as a broad social term - from Discord to IRC) have you deeper at being actively targeted and engaged with.
Those are my experiences and impressions.

>There needs to be alternatives that aren't either full of political schizos like Bitchute, ancient like Dailymotion/Vimeo, or for low-IQ normalfags with the attention span of goldfish like Tiktok.
Feels like the alternatives that will spring up first will be:

State-specific

1. CCP Chinese
2. Something with verified and more direct Mossad connections
3. Same old Rutube but with mass migrations to it. Suddenly it becomes more restrictive on content than YouTube

Youtube has had a monopoly on English-language videos for too long, even long before ID verification and payment processor deplatforming.

>immediate thought was that this was an FF problem, but it really could be Google's fault, the cunts.

If something is working correctly in FF it is _always_ "google's fault". With the chrome engine being a "living standard" they can push updated HTML to their websites and engine first and force everyone else to play catch up with them. This gives them an advantage because they can not only introduce new features they can break old ones. For example, they could push something to break the loading of media in a new version of chrome then suddenly all third party websites outside of youtube and the major social networks that got the heads up is broken in chrome. Making them out of reach of "normal" users that don't fuck around with Firefox, Linux and the small minority of users that go beyond the Apple/Google walled garden and the Microsoft botnet.

It wasn't like this in the 80s-2010s. Back then we had a standard body that updated HTML every now and again after years of public discourse which involved a bunch of different parties that included independent tech people from all over the world. This kept out things like DRM and other ways to lock content behind a wall. It also kept out things that datamined the end user.

Now Google owns the W3C and the biggest "rival" browser engine. Which just gets the same updates only on a slight delay. We also have browser engines now that refuse to display pages that aren't "trusted". So everything with a self signed certification or on plain old http looks like a spooky virus to normalfags.

>>3015
Normalfags store everything on the cloud nowadays.
If the cloud auto-converts everything from jpeg to the futuristic-and-great format, they will probably not even realize, nor will they notice the drop in quality.
When they try and fail to access the data on their old storage devices, people will laugh at them for living in the past.

>Also why are people surprised that shit made by normalfags for normalfags is boring and uninspired?
Because Facebook announced they dumped $10 billion into VR development this year alone and are hiring 10K developers in the EU to make their "metaverse."

Fuck facebook or whatever they're called now, I am not buying or using anything made by them.
Also why are people surprised that shit made by normalfags for normalfags is boring and uninspired?
I hope that different developers pick up VR, both the hardware and software, cause it would be seriously a huge disappointment if it gets all centralized into facebook "metaverse".

I'm not menhera because I'm plain desensitized human cattle that may only fail and envy as it watches countless people, even at their worst, managing things ranging from plain relaxation to grift, monetization, meditation, connection over their skills and talents and knowledge and creativity and luck, and just the base mindset I never ever seem to get close to.
There's only so much I can bruteforce and research and invent and ritualize to compensate for not having the existential that others got to gain naturally under environments I never got to be in. Something I don't have is required, and that's it, I'm just dumbfounded. Even actually mentally ill people mog me
I'm so cattle-like in complacency that I'm not even bothered like I feel I should be
I'd gladly sell my dignity, but it requires to be less retarded to actually get the payment

Ironic that I had badmouthed normalfags when I'm even more of a normalfag, in the worst way possible

>>7520
No
Also because of 4chan advice I've seen being popular from time to time, I plug my butt with toilet paper so no kinds of any accidents happen. I'm so confident around normalfags because it's not rare for them to have stinky butts and I just know I'm more hygienic about this
I had accidents when the dirty paper fell out of underwear but nobody ever tracked it down to me. Worth it

>>7445
lol
why is this
it can't simply be that megane men are more likely to have """nerdy""" interests
does overusage of computers make people have worse eyesight?
or is it that normalfags are more likely to get surgery, wear contacts, or just go without glasses out of vanity?

>>6702
see normalfag isn't so much about actual "normal" people though
however you define normal
it's about INTRUSIVELY "normal" people
people who bring up "normal" shit everywhere and disparage "non-normal" shit
you can be happily married with a wife and kids but if you discuss anime and japanese culture respectfully on imageboards without turning your nose up at others for not fitting the "mold" then you're not a normalfag

there's a screencap expressing this view but I don't have it

Sorry for making a bad thread and being a failed normalfag
I just want to be loved..

I just say norms because it's funnier. Normalfag after discovering norm is just trying too hard. I can't just say "The normalfags the normalfags the normalfags" it just gets too many syllables in at once and it's a drag. "The norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms the norms" works so well I can't help but copy paste it over and over. If you can't imagine yourself rocking backing forth saying it, it's simply inferior.

Normalfag on IBs, norm irl, nigger for niggers.

People say this, but I didn't hear "normalfag" much until I wanna say the mid-2010s.

Normalfag is traditional, can't fuck upon it.
>>6687
Also Normans is a funny term as well.

Norman is funny to me but otherwise normalfag

it depends on the context, usually normalfag for most situations, normalniggers for situations I can clearly tell there are normalniggers in the room I need to offend, norms for people I don't want to offend but need to state that other peoples tastes are purely pedestrian.

The term has been thrown around so much by all kinds of different people that I don't really like to use it at all anymore, but if I do, it would be "normalfag" because it sounds the most neutral to me. I still enjoy racism in other contexts, if that matters.

That's not gonna help, bosses spouting bullshit happens everywhere.
It's not like this is my first bad experience.
One of the services my employer provides is consulting for other companies, and doing that over the years I’ve interacted with more than 40 bosses from Fortune 500 to lemonade stand sized companies and they're all retarded.
Normalfags are retarded.

It's funny you'd say that, because I consider the word "normalfag*", "faggotry", and danbooru filenames to be yucky, all having superior alternatives. And no, I'm not posting this in a snob way even if the tone is ostensibly jackarse. Let's not dumb our ways down there.

I grow up so reactionary that I even consider kissu normalfag, but on a lesser degree, than let's say... 4chan for example. I think at this point of life you just have to deal with the cultural subversion of our times.

I just don't interact with any western fanbase faggotry outside of 4/a/.
I cannot bear normalfags in any way.

>>163025
Therapy is for faggots and useless. Just a scam to sell medicaments to normalfags. Don't fall to the Big Pharma trick. (((Psychologists))) are the worst scum on earth.

I have been trying to spend more time with my Grandmother. This requires watching mainstream television. Since that's what she likes to do.

I can't believe this show is still on the air but they've been watching Big Brother on CBS for the last month or so. The grand prize is $750,000 this season and it looks like it's really easy to win. All we'd have to do is manage to get three people inside at the start and vote everyone else off the island. The so-called challenges are easy from what I've seen (this week was an easy maze combined with human hamster wheel). The contestants keep going on about their "social game". But all it boils down to is convincing normalfags not to vote for you. Which is pretty easy.

My greater point: Someone that doesn't give a fuck about social interaction and/or enjoys trolling and watching people fight with each other as a result could easily win this. The only hard part will be being trapped in a studio set with a bunch of normalfags for 2-3 months without internet access. But you're allowed to take in and have entertainment material shipped in. So we just need to bring in a bunch of manga and doujin to read while we're inside. Maybe bring some VNs and a cheap laptop.

Once we win we could use the $750,000 as seed money to buy land and fund building the mansion. Lots of people have won multiple times. Lots of people have made millions off endorsement deals after appearing. So short of winning we could always become famous and make money by being the first person to start a fist fight over getting voted off, or openly doing otaku stuff on live TV. I also thought insulting the Chinese woman that hosts the show (wife of CBS owner) would also be fun.

The TV shows normal people watch are really really stupid. It's pretty much crap like this and Gordon Ramsay reality TV cooking shows on repeat. I can feel myself becoming dumber just being in the room with it on.

j*b search is tough when I get cringe flashbacks from normalfag workplace """culture""". even if I navigate it like a fucking pro. right up until it stops being a work-place anyway

>>161384
Downside: You took on lots of debt for a piece of paper that's mostly bullshit and a scam.
Upside: People that did this take care of their own. So you're able to land bullshit work through connections or simply reputation of said piece of paper. People that didn't fall for the scam but don't have the bullshit piece of paper have a much harder time.

Hard truth: It's all bullshit. No job will ever make you happy. This is due to the system we live in. Which is a scam. You will never become part of the real fun club. But you can at least brown nose those types and play their games enough to get a bigger portion when they pass out the normalfag slop food and entertainment.

Advice: Stop giving a fuck and always put in the minimal amount of effort you can. Everyone else is faking it and most are doing the same thing. Just try to be a good person and don't fuck anyone over.

My friends that were calling me a schizo weirdo for not moving to Win10 are now dragging their feet about moving to Win11. I think a lot of people who are a couple notches deeper into the tech world than your average normalfag really will jump to Linux when SteamOS releases.

A real human wants to be happy, not a servant of rich capitalists, rich communists or rich socialists. Being successful means enjoying your life, not working all day so you can pretend to be nobility with lots of expensive luxuries for the few hours a day that you're not working. The vast majority of the population are dumb masochistic normalfags that will choose to slave their lives away no matter what anyone like me tries to tell them, so civilization isn't going to fall apart just because some people choose to be NEETs and enjoy our lives. Even if it did somehow fall apart because of NEETs that's okay because it's shit.

The only bad advice here is not to wear a 2D shirt, you should absolutely wear a shirt with your waifu on it everyday to show that you have good taste in anime. If you don't they will all still assume you're a huge weeb anyway because you're a gaijin tourist, but they will assume by default that you're a filthy normalfag who only watches shit like one piece and naruto. If you wear an Ojamajo t-shirt or something they'll instantly respect you far more than the average tourist.

That isn't normalfag speak though.

If I had to sum it up, I think I'd describe it as "less miserable".
People are much more forthcoming with their interests, fanfic is surprisingly more mainstream (at least with Dragon Ball, DB AF came out all the way back in 1999 and everyone knows about it, also see El Hermano de Jiren/Gohan Blanco), the attitude around loli is a lot laxer than in the anglosphere, and there isn't as much of a focus on refined taste, elitism, or fighting normalfaggotry (for better or worse). You don't have nearly as many hardcore 2D lovers as Japan's, but you don't have Anglo moralist crusaders either, and the concept of ironic weebs doesn't exist. East/west divide isn't as strong, as you can see with artists like Alkemanubis, perhaps because it's all foreign anyways.

Comments there are the most embarrassing normalfag opinions I've read in a while.

>>1101
Imageboard users will look down on normalfags but their consumer choices in anime, software, consumer technology, preferred websites to waste time on, all become part of their identity that they religiously proselytize and take up in some holy war. It's like that slide from that presentation about making consumers into brand evangelists. This is the goal of every big company, and people on the internet (I say people, but it really only affects men, women couldnt care less it seems) completely adopt this frame of thinking and engage in brand jihad. It's bizarre. Get a real personality.
