Yay! Hope you like it!!

Thank you xprincesszelda! That's what I'm tryna say haha. Its like they think we are all 40 year old fat jobless creeps or that we clearly have mental issues... I mean...
wut? LOL I don't get it. I wish they would explain why they think it makes people that way when almost everyone who watches it isn't like any of those things. Its just a media genre, and I'm just a huuuuuuge fan. Btw xprincesszelda, have you watched free! Iwatobi swim club? I don't know you preferences or tastes, but I love the story, animation, humor and the muscles are quite nice too. There is even a second season out now that airs every Wednesday. Its on crunchyroll or gogoanime.net for free (I mean no cost lol not just the name). Also, do you ship yaoi? Because even though that show has no yaoi in it, its easy to ship them that way for many reasons, and its beyond easy to find cute yaoi fanart for it. Its awesome! Just sayin! ;D

Seriously @hexy (sorry I can't leave a normal reply chain on mobile btw)? Did you not read what I wrote? Are you just trying to really make people think that everyone that loves anime is some creepy, shut in, hermit? I know I'm definitely not at least two of those things (haha jokes, jokes), but seriously, don't try and make it sound like everyone who loves it and is addicted is some dysfunctional weirdo that clearly has a serious issue in their life. It has been a real positive in my life (relieving school stress [I'm in honors and advanced placement so it is very stressful], meeting new friends, giving me the inspiration to draw and get really creative, etc.), and so many other people can relate to this. You can love it and still be a very functional, polite, kind, human being. There doesn't have to be psychological issues that come from it, it can just be good fun that takes you on a new emotional journey everytime, just like reading a book, or watching a movie for example.

I dont get what is so bad about obsessing over anime though. The fact that people dont know how to dress themselves appropriately is a totally different matter (in my opinion), because anyone cosplaying for any genre of media can cosplay badly. I am a high school freshman who has really good grades and a lot of friends, who also have good grades and friends, but we are all otakus. It clearly hasn't done much bad to us so I really just don't get it. I'm also not 40 year old fat hermit living in his moms house, I'm just a respectable freshman girl who has a social life like anyone else. Actually, I would say anime made my social life even better because I got more friends when I got into it, from being able to find so many others with common interests. It hasn't affected me negatively, even though I admit I've got merchandise like posters and shirts and jewelry (and even these 2 adorable 1"-2" figurines), I'm not ashamed to say I have all that stuff. I'm addicted but I'm perfectly fine.

Also @hexy, anyone can stuff themselves into a tiny costume for any franchise. Not just anime. The star wars original movies aren't anime, but people stuff themselves into too-tiny princess Leia costumes. So don't act like its only anime cosplays that have this issue.

So then they aren't allowed to express themselves @hexy? What about the post of the twins displaying as characters from the Zelda characters? Did they look ridiculous? And the characters aren't imaginary, if they were that would mean others wouldn't be able to see the character with their eyes. They are fictional, there is a difference. Also, do you hen think people should stop obsessing over marvel characters after 15? Because by your logic, they are imaginary. And THAT'S definitely not the case, many adults obsess over fictional tv shows in which the characters are just imaginary characters portrayed by people, and movies which is often the same case. I just want to understand WHY its bad to obsess, simply because the fictional personality can't be touched. You can't touch Jesus in real life with your hands, but people obsess over him. So what's the difference? Please, answer my questions, I am actually curious as to what your answers to the above questions are.
