the mentality is wrong, however the message it is "conveying" isn't.
with current japan's social situations and what not, its really not surprising when people are falling for 2D more and more.

of course, what works there, may not work anywhere else. case in point: doing this shit in malaysia would prolly get you arrested or people living REALLY BAD permanent impressions of you.

not suprised at all...seriously. Melonpan (a retire otaku from Europe) had done this before, and I saw many ronery otakus had done the same, even some of them brings along a full sized momoko dolls and bring them as they were in holiday or something.

Any Malaysian otaku dare to try?

and you're not them. get it? :/

Haha rather than the otaku culture become worse, it's more like otaku become braver nowadays

In this people there are so many people with different interests.

maybe you are. No, you already are when you bring your keroro bag on last daicon. Though not a pillow but still, your bag is big enough for people to notice. Since it is Daicon, we feel normal for that.

this is malaysia where having ministerial level meeting under the tree would go directly into headline. otakuism for me is not dangerous as long as they (otaku) didn't commits any serious damages over public and go to work get paid as normal person. otaku is not a lifestyle that will prohibits you from going to pray to god or play futsal. otaku is just a name. and love for 2-d is not as bad as it showed. as long as u still love the real human opposite your gender not the same gender please.

by we, i hope its just you. /shrug

just because YOU think rape cases getting higher are normal to you, doesnt mean everyone else regards it the same.

Lets wait till you go ZETSUBOU DAAAAA in UK. Dun let me catch u roaming UK with dakimakura!

he is 37 but looks like 50+~60.. maybe thats why? coz lonely.. =X too sad for him. doing that after the gf dump her

Well, whenever i go to a cafeteria and saw people reading newspapers; they sometimes say 'asyik asyik kes rogol, takde kes lain ke?' which makes me think that people are already think that it is normal.

back to the topic. I also have the same 'syndrome' where i still keep Misha (from Ar Tonelico) as my wallpaper and can't seem to be able to change the wallpaper. Well, i adore her and see her as a standard. I mean, I want my future wife or girlfriend to be someone like her (Misha's personality, not looks). I doubt that i will become like that Nisan guy, bringing along pillow everywhere. Misha is still just my wallpaper on my pc.

Because people are bored with stuffs that are repeated over and over again. They want something new.

i bet u never see a car that been "ita" by it's owner. no?



well be hold, there will be one soon

- otaku is basically a culture, and to some, even regarded as a religion

- in modern world mindset, homosexuality is fine. and is proven to not spread aids (shrug) by just being homosexual.

of course, im an atheist and thus i am not restricted by religion in my thinking and therefore making such statements as i am now.

darn...I've been rickrolled by Melonpan...demmm...

btw, Malaysian otaku still safe la, just some of the mass media and tabloids such as Harian Metro suka kacau otaku scene...ada ka figurin g-taste yg rege RM 200 tu budak sekolah nak beli?? kalo beli pon tu mmg da hobi dia kot!

Malaysia still can't understand the concept of otaku. Most of them ingat otaku ni minat anime ngan cosplay je...BEEP!! WRONG!!

UK got angmoh chicks wo, not good?

Otaku in Malaysia, high chance in marriage.
