CATDOLL: Don't let your imagination run wild! Otaku complains that being addicted to the second dimension is not an escape from reality

In Japan, even though there are many otakus, this group is not liked and understood by people. In the past, there were many social arguments that otakus are addicted to the second dimension to seek comfort because they can't find someone to fall in love with in real life. However, now a Japanese otaku netizen posted on Twitter: "Why do those people always impose their values ​​on others? It's not that we can't fall in love in real life." This post also caused heated discussions among Japanese netizens.

The netizen wrote on Twitter: " Why do people always say, 'Actually, otakus want to have a real-life relationship, but can't, so they become otakus'? Why do they impose their own values ​​on us otakus, and then start to feel sorry for these otakus? It's like saying that koalas think eucalyptus trees are delicious, which looks really pitiful in the eyes of humans. Fried chicken nuggets are obviously more delicious ."

This metaphor was used by the general public to express their opinions on the otaku group, and received positive responses from Japanese otaku. Many otaku said that this sentence spoke for themselves.

I just like the freedom of being single. People who force themselves into a otaku relationship should go watch this.

This is just like the old lady who asks single men and women every day whether they are married or have a girlfriend. What does it have to do with you? Does being alone mean being unhappy?

The reason why otakus become otakus is not because they cannot find boyfriends or girlfriends and thus escape into the virtual world, but because otakus invest their passion, time and money into their favorite virtual world. If people who temporarily stop reading anime and comics to avoid love or to recuperate from emotional trauma are called otakus, it would be too disrespectful to otakus.

I heard that the average income of young otakus is higher than that of ordinary young people. So should we say to ordinary people we know every day in the future, "Come and become an otaku, otherwise you will be too pitiful"?

I totally agree. My true feelings are "I don't need a lover because I like being alone", but those people think "Hehe, you are showing off again, it's just that you are not popular, you still want to find a lover", I really want to forward this paragraph to them.

In fact, in Japan and other countries or regions, when people mention otaku, they have a stereotyped impression that they are unkempt, don't like to go out, are addicted to ACG, and hate the opposite sex in real life. In fact, these ideas are more or less generalized. Moreover, the two-dimensional culture has gradually become a must for young people to communicate. There were many modern otakus before, so is it not a good idea to look at these things with the old perspective? How do you view these?
