I agree with a good portion of this statement.It all boils down to peer pressure from someone who's within an position of authority and actually believed at least half of this stuff
HA! not to PL but I had a similar experience. Came on arts scholarship and quickly transferred out after seeing how insufferable people were. I just wanted to make cool shit with a team, instead everyone thinks they're the next Kubrick or Warhol. I'm also far more successful in the arts than any of the hacks when I decide to peer into others windows on the web. Don't be insufferable in the arts.I remember getting banned from my unis film club cause I said they were all just obnoxious hipster fags who sipped tea and that I will always know more than them cause I genuinely love the medium.
To be honest I think I've boiled it down, at least for the MTF crowd:Why is it always uni and anime faggotry? What makes these two the perfect troon disease? There are times like these which make me happy to be a third worlder, idk what it is about first world education which produces failed abortions like these. Also these are the fags who give anime a bad rap, pedoshit isn't cute and any man who is deep into the shoujo loli uwu pipeline must reconsider his life choices before cutting his dick off.
- Failed men/Failure to Launch, or lack of secured masculinity. This is a double edged sword when it comes to the masculinity portion, as the who PUA/RedPill/TopG crowd has poisoned the well for a solid positive view on the subject. Look at who their fathers were. They often fail at all activities given to them from their expectant father, which in turn creates a negative feedback loop. (Cue the MDE "DAD DAD DAD" clip) I'd stress that a decent amount of the problem is the father treating their son as a showpony rather than, you know, an actual human being. All of this gets in the head of the son, when in reality I'd argue the near-obsession over being the "MANG" is as bad as a thought trap as a race. It should be enough to just reaffirm your mind and spirit that you are who you are and there's no external factors needed to justify your behaviors or preferences.
- Being White, and away from the parental gaze - This is really just the same as the super successful valedictorian types you knew in school who burned out from drugs/alcohol/partying in the first couple of years as a result of their parents putting them in a pressure cooker environment, just reskinned. They look for meaning anywhere else that they can, which is often in tandem with cliques. Could be communism, transgenderism, extreme feminism, etc. At the end of it though, they realize even with finding a so called tribe that they're still viewed as unimportant, privileged, and worthless to the average commuter.
- Animu, and Peter Pan - Escapism in a media that's totally removed from reality, while idealizing the notion that "Hey, I'm not a failure, its just that society labelled me without second guessing...." I believe this is why they're so detached from considering the possibility that they look like prime sex-offender-in-the-making material. I'm armcharing here, but Asian media/society doesn't seem to have a problem with "abstraction" when it comes to interesting concepts for stories. Ranma 1/2, Futa, and other material thats just out there with the public doesn't mean that their society believe these concepts to be true, they're just vehicles for interesting stories and nothing more.
As for Anime's reputation, HARD AGREE. I remember growing up if you admitted you liked anime you'd immediately be called a faggot and mocked, in a similar fashion to being into video games pre-CoD 4. Now I'm back to being in the closet about even enjoying anime.
